With midterm elections just around the corner, Barack Obama seems trapped in a bubble sort of politics, outside and above the fray, respected but not admired. The president who introduced himself as the man hop & change has sunk into the quagmire of realpolitik Washingtonian, seemingly unable to revitalize the community that had strong affinities heated noble instincts American public opinion, now very disappointed and scared. The year 2008 had given us the stunning news of Obama, the 2009 and 2010, we have instead taken by the collar, slapped and made to assist the explosion of the Tea Party, the real stars of this election, a lunatic fringe within the Republican Party that occurs on November 2 with as many as 138 candidates, 129 in the House and nine in the Senate.

The movement, if you can call it, takes its name from the revolt of the settlers who in 1773 threw into Boston Harbor to protest some boxes of tea against the taxes imposed by the British government. The episode is considered the beginning of the American Revolution, and in fact the Tea Party firmly believe to be the emanation of the highest and true revolutionary spirit, a spirit which at first glance may appear grassroots, grassroots, arose spontaneously among citizens angry over a war in Afghanistan increasingly out of control, the government bailouts of the vampires on Wall Street, the measures for economic recovery and, above all, health care reform.

Let's step back. On February 19, 2009 Rick Santelli, a host of low-grade issuer CNBC, throws in a violent attack directed the administration to Obama's announcement of the economic stimulus package: "The government is encouraging bad behavior!

" Soon will open sites, Facebook pages and groups, organized rallies, protests and demonstrations around the country under the name "Tea Party".

Journalists Mark Ames and Yasha Levine's "The Exile" were the first to discover (and then shamelessly plagiati dai big media) che tutto ciò non era che una complicata e sofisticata operazione di pubbliche relazioni ideata da spin-doctor e oligarchi repubblicani (su tutti la famiglia Koch, proprietaria della più grande azienda privata americana) alle prese sia con la rovinosa caduta della dottrina neocon che con delle proposte governative che avrebbero potuto seriamente mettere in pericolo i loro preziosi e ramificati interessi economici. E in tempi di crisi post-imperiale i magnati che continuano ad arricchirsi alle spalle di una società allo stremo non sono esattamente degli eroi popolari, a meno che non si usino le persone a cui si sta succhiando il sangue per farle radunare “spontaneamente” e lottare per diritti e pretese che non sono loro.

The technique is old and tested, as demonstrated in this paper a manual slave of the 19th century: A master

The real problem of the Tea Party and their most prominent leaders such as Sarah Palin (resuscitated after the setback with McCain in 2008), Paul Rand and Christine O'Donnell is that all the speeches, statements and their delusions to several decibels - amplified even more the right-hand drum of Fox News and other house organs compared to which free, and the Journal are moderate - can channel the righteous indignation of the people in a mixture of reactionary populism and oligarchy, he fucks largely industrial values \u200b\u200bof the Founding Fathers of the Constitution and, ultimately, America. Karl Rove said that the incessant anti-government message could lead more people to the polls and therefore the Republicans to win. Maybe.

The fact remains that in this midterm election of the Tea Party are like the movie Alien facehugger: small and disgusting alien bodies with their eight tentacles attached to the face of politics U.S. ready to penetrate her mouth with their reproductive organs and to deposit the embryos - offspring irrational without concrete and sensible proposals designed to infect the body of a nation, to seize up permanently with the presidential election of 2012.
