The Tea Party Vs. Occupy......

[Kevin]

Let's be honest for all the press both of these groups get both on here and in RL, the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street are basically two groups representing the extreme's of the American political spectrum in many ways.

To begin with the first post-2008 mass political movement the Tea Party is basically the religious right in another form. For ex. seeing many of the people who are active in the Tea Party where I live are religious fanatic's who want to follow the constitution(leaving out the part about separation between church and state) or extreme types who believe the government shouldn't be involved in anything whether it be education or even the enforcement of the law or courts. Additionally, the main reason I garner from Tea Party supporter's on why they actually dislike Mitt Romney is not because "he flip flops" but because he is a Mormon who supported abortion, gun control, and gay right's in the past. This is pretty accurate I think, at least among their supporter's.

While Occupy is just as bad IMO, it's clear from looking at their leadership and rank and file member's that most of them range from far left anti-capitalist's like Communist's, hardcore Socialist's, Anarchists  etc to LaRoucher's, 9/11 Truther's, conspiracy theorist's obsessed with the Bilderburg's, Trilateral Commission, and other like minded elements. Besides most of the Occupier's I've met are ether punks or homeless anyways.

Does anyone think this is an accurate assessment I got here?

I think it also show's how seriously f**ked the political environment in this country is.
