From the 27th Book of Arrogance

POLS UPDATE: Somebody mentioned Greeley and the “Tenth Amendment Center?”



—–

The Fourth Tea Party (posted at the Tenth Amendment Center)

Perhaps you have wondered why you have grown more concerned about what is happening with the United States. … Could it be that you have heard God’s voice, urging you to reclaim America? …

…

Many American citizens treat the current “Tea Party Movement” as a recent innovation, or a novel idea that will disappear in the future.

…

Today, we are actually a part of the fourth tea party! [emphasis added]

What, you ask, were the first three tea parties? You know the drill – look below the fold …

I apologize for not contributing much commentary for this diary, but if you follow the link and read the full “history” of the Four Tea Parties, I think you will appreciate why I have been left speechless.

Here we go:

The First Tea Party

The reign of Solomon had increased the burdens of government upon the people.  They had paid higher taxes, and many had been pressed into governmental service, working on various programs (building structures, serving in the ever-larger military force, or serving in Solomon’s court).  Now, they were struggling.

The Second Tea Party

The second tea party is a very unique event that is recorded in the gospels of Scripture

You read that right. Jesus was a tea partier!

The Third Tea Party

As the descendents of the Israelite tribes migrated to the colonies, they brought with them a sense of justice that pervaded all areas of life, including the financial realm.  Those “common farmers” were well-versed in literature, especially the Holy Bible and Blackstone’s Commentaries on English Common Law.

You’re familiar with the “3rd TP” from your American History classes. But you may not be familiar with this interpretation. Well, most of you won’t be.

The Fourth Tea Party

aka “The second coming of Christ”

Today, we have yet another tea party movement among us.  On February 19, 2009 Rick Santelli stood on the trading floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

I believe the current Tea Party movement is ordained by God.

Who could come up with such an elaborate and arrogant scenario? Turns out, he’s one of ours …

    1. But they put it in more “poetic” language than, let’s say: “American colonists get pissed off at the British Crown over taxes, disguise themselves as Indians, and vandalize and destroy a boatload of commodities (i.e., the common man’s drug, tea) in protest and retaliation.”

    1. Early Grey or a heady Oolong to go along with cucumber & watercress sandwiches?  Well that puts a right bloody English spin on the ol’ Eucharist.

  4. ’cause ain’t the Rapture supposed to happen before JC’s 2nd Coming?  

    Did I miss something?  Have all the Christian zombie-tale fundamental believers already been raptured up and if so, then who are all these ignorant idiots still teabagging?

    Religion is just one great freakshow!  

  5. Jacob and Isaac were Abraham’s sons. Half brothers of the same father and different mothers- Hagar and Sarah.

    There are other hysterical historical errors, but I’ll let wilson correct them.

    1. .

      Isaac’s older brother was Ishmael, through whom the Arabs claim Abraham as their Patriarch.  

      Jacob’s older brother was Esau.  Isaac was their father.

      .

  6. from the linked article:

    Jesus despised the hypocrisy and oppression of these practices.  They obliterated freedom and allowed a small minority of the populace to oppress the people through unfair laws and immoral financial practices.

    reminds me of our friends on Wall Street.

    So I guess what they are saying is that Jesus hates the one-percenters, the Goldman-Sachs thieves, the corporate CEOs, and the whores in Congress who do their bidding.

    Did I read that right?
