Eleutrophobia part 1
I was more apprehensive than a Libertarian getting stripped
searched by private security guards in a shopping mall. Now the
liberal left is giving us the apocryphal suspense about the mid-term
elections coming up soon. Yeah, those crazy tea baggers are going to
take over and we are all going to die! Not really. The tea party is
not a brand name but a non-existent movement. This election cycle we
got a lot of right wing crackpots running as tea baggers and there is
not even a position paper on what they believe in? Oh? We all know
what they are against! But what are they for? These slate of
candidates running as tea baggers remind me of the mayoralty races in
Los Angeles. If you get enough registered voters signatures on a
petition you can get on the ballot and run for mayor. Ever 4 years we
use to get the singing candidate, or the naked candidate who always
wore a bathing suit. Maybe he should have had run an as the Speedo
candidate. My point is, there was the 27% who supported the Bush
presidency and now they watching Glenn Beck and eating microwave
popcorn and a bowel of potato chips and washing it down with Coors
beer. Then once in a while they rally somewhere with their goofy signs
and straw hats. Their politics if there is any, sounds like the right
wing politics of the 1960’s with a militia group called the Minutemen.
Now all you right wing Francophobes are not going to like this. The
head of this group was a biochemist from Norborne Missouri named
Robert Bolivar DePugh. Oh, Mr. DePugh was a real outlaw (In his mind)
He was busted in 68 for arm robbery. Why did he rob a bank? He wanted
to finance the counter-revolution. He actually termed it, “Counter-
Revolution” I guess he had studied political science unlike his Tea
Bagger successors who think they are revolutionaries. Robert was one
of many paranoid U.S Americans who was convinced the Soviet Union was
about to invade the USA. He supported the John Birch Society but he
thought they were not militant enough. He formed this cadre of white
gun nuts. They spread rumors that they will shot any man or boy
wearing long hair because that was the symbol of communism. They were
convinced the US Government was under Communist Control. In 1968,
Robert was indicted by federal grand in Seattle Washington for
violation of federal firearms act. He jumped bail and went
underground. I love irony, don’t you? Guess where the FBI found him?
In a place called: Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. They convicted
him and was placed in Federal prison until 1973. He published some
books and had a newsletter called: On Target.
The media loves these Tea Bagger fools. Let’s face it; they
are entertaining in their idiocy. But are they dangerous? Did the
militia groups in the 90’s do any major harm? I already voted. Have
you?
