Photo: Keli Carender Mother of the Tea Party Movement

Though the Tea Party movement mostly concerns the anger of having to pay
taxes to the benefit of those less white than they, it has also been
the driving political force of the Republican Party for most of 100
years.

SEATTLE — Keli Carender has a pierced nose, performs improv on weekends and lives here in a neighborhood with more Mexican grocers than coffeehouses. You might mistake her for the kind of young person whose vote powered President Obama to the White House. You probably would not think of her as a Tea Party type. But leaders of the Tea Party movement credit her with being the first. Unlikely Activist Who Got to the Tea Party Early


keli carenderAcross the mainstream media this same theme rings
like ACDC’s Bell from Hell. That the Tea Party movement is made of
ordinary well meaning Americans concerned only with the future debt put
upon our children. [They didn’t care one wit when the last white
president doubled the debt.]

Keli Carender could very well be a
Democrat because she has an empty hole where a pieced nose ring could
go! And she lives NEAR MEXICANS! She also tries her hand at pro bono
standup comedy! Add them all together as Times Reporter Kate Zernike has
done and you have non aligned moderation and political independence!
SHES OKAY! TEA BAGGERS ARE OKAY.

You know I wouldn’t be surprised
if the media is more afraid of Tea Baggers than they are terrorists.
After all, they can say what they wish about any Abdul whatshisface and
sales of Budweiser and car insurance don’t fall. Get on the wrong side
of the Tea Party and pickup truck sales drop through the floor and the
all go to Fox News.

Keli Carender is now billed as the first Tea
Bagger, the Mother of it all! Here she is pictured at a Town Hall
Meeting in Seattle waving a $20 bill around asking someone, anyone at all, for a date.

"Some days I’m very Randian. I feel like there shouldn’t be
any of those programs, that it should all be charitable organizations.
Sometimes I think, well, maybe it really should be just state, and there
should be no federal part in it at all. I bounce around in my solutions
to the problem."

So Keli bounces around in that
world of moderation and independence between Ayn Rand’s ideology that
Selfishness is the high moral ground and only money matters, and Alabama
Governor George Wallace screeching  "States’ rights now! States’ rights
tomorrow! States’ rights forever!"

Recently newspapers,
magazines, television and radio are all bombarding us with this crap
that Tea Baggers are just regular independent well meaning average
Americans concerned about the children. Though they may have learned
that their NAZI HITLER signs are a bit too much, its the same nastyass
White people screaming about taxes.   

They are extreme
right-wing Libertarians – older and heavier than the Ron Paul internet gang of
extreme right-wing Libertarians – who have only one concern, a seething
visceral slobbering spitting mad anger at having to pay taxes for the
benefit of anyone less white than they are. Which is the bottom line in
all this though the media is afraid to say so for fear of losing share, the Democrats for
fear of losing Congress and Republicans for fear of losing primaries
