So remember the Coffee Party, that liberal response to the Tea Party?
CNN covered it, so did the New York Times.
And around the same time, Jon Stewart organized his rally to restore sanity, as a reaction to -again - the Tea Party.
Now, nobody really cares.
That's because they were lagging indicators of a dead world - a group of shiny, happy people who didn't see the train heading their way.
The Tea Party and the health care protests were the train, future predictors that saw the road ahead, and all the signs pointed to Greece. Not the musical.
To me, the Tea Party really is the punk rock moment of politics - - rescuing us from 20 minute organ noodling found on Emerson Lake and Palmer records.
Yep, in a bloated world typified by Yes's "Roundabout" on F.M. circa 1977, the Tea Party offered "Beat on the Brat," - Ramones wisdom reminding us of what worked before.
It also exposed the emptiness of "hope and change."
When a real movement rose up to question the direction of the Administration, those fluffy "good feelings" of 2008 withered against simple principle.
If you aren't for shrinking government, then what are you for?
Turns out "not shrinking government!" is a lousy bumper sticker.
Now, I got issues with this deal.
I worry about the defense cuts.
The left prefers to increase dependence through entitlement growth. We want independence through strength.
A howitzer over handouts.
Lastly, one sad fact: the government will still grow 70 percent over the next decade. And there will probably be new taxes in a year or so.
So this budget debate's a lot like using Febreze: masking the stench doesn't erase the pile of crap at your feet.
And if you disagree with me you are a racist homophobe.
