The Tea Party Movement is NOT a real movement!

As I looked at a mini magazine called Scholastic, the holiday gift books edition, I scanned through page six and glanced through the info on a children's book called"Marching for Freedom" by Elizabeth Partidge. The book is appropriate for children grades 4 and up. The book is based on lives of brave African American childrenwho represent all the lives of the African American community in the past who went through horrific violence for the precious gift of equality. The book cover reminded me of all the struggles we and other minorities went through over the years. While I was looking at this section on page six, while thoughts went across my mind about the Tea Party Movement. The members of the Tea Party went through absolutely nothing compareto what the African Americans, Jewish Americans, Japanese Americans, Muslim Americans and Hispanic Americans went through in the past (and to this day we are still struggling for acceptance and equality). The members of the Tea Party Movement make me sick to my stomach with their racist signs comparing President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler. The Tea Party Movement is not even a real movement! They're just a bunch of uneducated people who don't know the difference between up and down! Real movements and organizations such as the NAACP, the American Civil Liberties, LULAC (The League of United Latin American Citizens) were formed soul purposes:to pursue the rights of life, liberty, and happiness and to have the same precious gift of freedom and equality just like the majority of the United States. These organizations were created because minorities have been through a certain struggle. The members of the Tea Party Movement didn't face real hard times. They weren't sold into slaveryas if they were property. Their land weren't taken away from them and were forced to move from place to place during the heat and the cold. Members of the TeaParty Movement weren't put in concentration camps filled with gas and forced to eat soup that contained sewage. The members of the Tea Party Movementhaven't had lynch mobs running after them and then taking pictures of people being hung from the tree. Am I missing anything?And that sideshow circus act that Glenn Beck and his victims performed at the Lincoln Memorial was in insult to the real people who did face real times and hadno equal rights and no freedom. It was also in insult to MLK's legacy. It really tripped me out as I seen everybody at that Glenn Beck rally singing and holding handsand rocking side to side, as if they've been through hard times.The Tea Party Movement hold rallies at different places and shout through their lungs "as if theyreally been through some hard times". Please, OK!! They have been through NOTHING AT ALL!!!The only thing that the members of the Tea Party Movement had to do was contribute money to the government! The Tea Party Movement think their country is gone, huh?Who took it away from them? So the Tea Party Movement doesn't want the government to mess with their Social Security checks, huh? Do these people realize that theirchecks come from the government? Do these people realize they can't survive without taxes? America can't operate without taxes. And I will say it again, the members of the Tea Party Movement has been through NOTHING!!!!
