The Tea Party does not exist. That is the fallacy of the hate campaign ingenuously perpetrated by leftist political thinkers. Granted there is a loose confederation of interest groups that share a loosely defined political philosophy of lower taxes, Less Government and strict construction of the constitution. And these entities do ask for money and they do have employees. However, they are not a real political party. Rather they are even less defined that Political Action Committees (PACS) and very much less defined than organized labor unions. Yet leftist political thinkers, like the authors of this book, insist on identifying the Tea Party Movement as analogous to the Democrat or Republican, the Socialist Workers of America, or the Libertarian parties! Why do they do this? I don’t know! But I can guess. It is because the values represented by the Tea Party Movement are rejected by the authors of this study. Much as these same values are rejected by the Democrat party and President Obama, both of whom constantly vilify and demonize the participants of the Tea Party Movement. The constant campaign against this citizen inspired political movement indicates that the leftist political establishment wants very much to discredit the Tea Party Movement as a fringe element of the society and thereby to discourage thinking citizens from adopting this twenty-first century political philosophy.
