Let's compare and contrast

Let's compare and contrast the Tea Party with the Flea Party movements. The Tea Party is made up of all stripes of people. The ideological bent is conservative. Many of the Occupy people are young, white hippie types who believe we need to give everything away for free - liberalism.

The Tea Party people are respectful and leave their surrounding better looking than when they get there. The Occupy people are foul mouthed and angry haters of Capitalism, Jews and Christianity. They defecate on police cars and consider policemen “pigs.”

The Tea Party wants to build up and allow all people to succeed. Responsibility and personal charity are their goals. The Occupy people want to destroy and have all people with a paltry little.

The Tea Party is people who love this country and want to see it restored to its original principles. The Occupy people want to destroy this country. Some are anarchists. Communists, unionists, Marxists and socialists. Their signs tell us who they are and what they want.

The Tea Party was denounced from the onset. The Occupy people have been hailed as lovely people who are selflessly taking over other people's property for the good of the masses. I hate that word “masses” because it sounds so collective and Communistic.

Which one do you support - the Tea Party or the Flea Party?
