"a few naive but honest members"

Dear Dr. Bones,

unclefactor ? 0 Good Comment 0 Poor Comment The Occupy Boston group do not need any advice or assistance from the teabaggers. The Tea Party is a right-wing fascist organization which is basically a front for the extremist wing of the Republican Party. There may be a few naive but honest members among their number. They should ditch the Tea Party and hook up with the Occupiers. Posted 2 hours ago [10/04/2011 04:44AM] Reply Link Abusive

With all dew respect to Mr. Poster, this keyboard must stroke that I think he is all wet.

Nobooby *needs* "advice or assistance from the teabaggers." The ethical beauty of our North American _Teehemde_ is that they give of their own unsolicited, even as they give without crude expectation of reward.

Anyway, it is not as if scabbin’ for ScroogeBank, an’ Warbucks Widget, an’ THE News Corporation (&c. &c.) pays well nowadays. ¿How should it? Nowadays the economic Hogen-Mogens do not run any Cecille B. DeMille cast-of-thousands factories nearer than Shanghai. Or possibly still Guadalajara to some extent. To spend any serious shequelles on takin’ measures against Union thugs way out over there might make sense; around here, it would only be silly.

Their freelordships have, in this keyboard's view, figured the correlation of farces out quight whight: No danger of strikes == Not many bennies for wannabe strikebreakers. "Sorry, Charlie." (You too, Howie.)

AstroTurf™baggin’ the kiddiecons until the contents of their dittopans are reduced to Tee Putty costs very little. It is only a question of *differential* fundin’, of makin' sure that small people who would mostly bark an’ bellow like Party Neocomrade Dr. R. H. Limbaugh (rather than like, say, Miss Rosa Luxemburg ) in any case get a little extra encouragement.

Just the occasional pat on the fangs, as it were.

Kiddie selfservatives mean badly, they come with fangs pre-installed. As it were.

At the same time, they are at least 99.43% "naive but honest." Kiddiecons are not, after all, anythin’ near bestembright enough to be cynical. Or even to keep their fibs straight. What they bark is what they think, an' what they think is what they bark. As honest as the day is long, as naïve as the night is dark (in the absence of the Rev. Moon), are they.

To be sure, those self-dittoes between their ears are not homebrewed. ¡Far from it! Few developments in politics are less mysterious than "The Birth of Tee Putty from the Spirit of Finance Capital." Nevertheless, the course of subhuman events has been slightly more complicated than Scrooge an' Murdoch an' Ailes an’ Warbucks handin' out banknotes to Wally Wombschool of Louisedayhicksville MA an' Cindy from Wasilla AK in Spiro Agnew Brand (®) paper bags.

"Basically a front for the extremist wing of the Republican Party" is by way of a Trifecta™ win for Mr. Poster, an analysis that is at least triply ridiculous, inasmuch as the Monolith of Party an' AEIdeology has no ‘base’ as opposed to its superstructure, no ‘front’ as opposed to its backside, and no ‘wings’ as opposed to its torso.

Plus of course utterly no extremism as opposed to its sublime neomoderation.

Happy days.
