Both Democrats and Republican refused to believe the
unbelievable and now the entire country is about to pay the price—big time. The
Tea Party is winning because of it. President Obama refused to believe that they want to destroy government; therefore,
took a firm stance again negotiating with them. That is a big win for them and a big mistake for Obama. They have
cleverly put him in a position of being on their side.

The general tenor in Washington been that Tea Party Democrats
and Republicans all wanted the government to work better; therefore, would work
to make it better. There were two philosophies of government; a nurturing government
verses an authoritarian government. One form is with the people at the top,
which is democracy, and the other with the economic elite at the top, which is
a plutocracy. No one in their right mind would guess that there could be support for
an entire political party that wanted to destroy the entire government with no one
at the top: anarchy. It was too crazy to contemplate. Even after what has
happened, people still do not believe people will elect such people to congress
but they do.
The Tea Party started as polarized group of Republicans who
were adamant about cutting the size of government. However, a gang of radials
who were belittled as being crazy or misfits, etc; the #Rand Pauls, the #Sarah
Palins, and the James Inhofs hijacked them. The true party roots shifted from
Republicanism to the #John Burch Society, which a fanatical anti communism
organization. Most people will not even recognize the name let alone appreciate
how they operated. These folk combined with extreme radical groups like the neo
Nazis, skin heads, and the KKK, remnants of which still exist to day. This all
sounds crazy and not worth contemplating until you start tracing history of
these organizations and look at how they transformed into the modern Tea Party.
The Supreme Court of the United States shamefully put the
ball in their hands with their infamous “Citizen’s United” decision, which opened
the floodgates for money to flood into inter the campaign coffers of puppet
legislatures. Karl Rove and other legitimate Republican political operatives
have corrupted the federal court system with judicial appointment to the
Federal Bench and a system of campaigning for Supreme Court justices: this was the
polar end of the already mentioned conservative movement. They did it to create
a perpetual majority for themselves. By doing what they did, they put the reins
of power into the hands of a few rich people and families, the economic elite.
These “political operatives” are smart people but the people with all the money
are smarter. They out maneuvered Karl Rove and Reince Priebus. David and Charles Koch, along with most other extremely
rich people are ruthless executives. They will lie, cheat, steal, undercut
markets, form monopolies, and destroy labor unions all to make a buck. They
will even create crisis to manipulate governments. Most people recognize the craven families such
as the Cheneys, the Waltons but there are many more. Most of these people want control to prevent
the government from controlling them. For example, deregulation is a Republican
mantra with this goal. Or, like, Sheldon Adelson, who was looking for a favorable
supreme courts decision. However, as ruthlessly
as they misuse the government to achieve their aims, they see the government as
necessary.
Enter the Koch brothers and the John Burch society. The
father of these brothers, Fred Koch, was a major supporter of the John Burch
society; thus directed the activities of that organization. He was somewhat protected
from the public eye by the name of the society; he did not need or want the
name recognition; he wanted the power. He was a radical and the brothers grew
up in a toxic environment of right wing radicalism associated polluted with
crazy conspiracy theories—people who
believe the government is out to get you. Another family had a similar
history but less on the money side and more on the political side. That family
was the Dr. Ron Paul family; Dr. Rand Paul grew up in the toxic environment of libertarianisms—people who think they can live in New York
city like hermits. For contrast, compare these two families with the Mitt Romney
family. The father was a ruthless businessman and a Governor. They were political
but they were not radical. Although there are many other people and families, these
three people, David and Charles Koch and Rand Paul, seem to be the driving
force of Tea party philosophy. They want
control of the government to destroy it. What is so befuddling to everyone
is that there is no other objective. I include myself. For a long time, I tried
to try to figure out what people like Ted Cruz and Rand Paul wanted; power,
money, what? Nothing they were doing nothing made sense; to destroy the
American economy does not make sense. It is crazy. Nobody wins. The only feasible
answer is that the Koch brother have out smarted the Republican and Democratic Parties
and the President as well. Which proves that just because a person is crazy doesn’t
mean he has a low level of intelligence.
The most insane thing is that a person of low intelligence
is the key. John Boehner could call a vote on a continuing resolution; thus,
solve the problem but is not smart enough to see that his job is not as important
as the country.
