A group that originally supported Ron Paul but was subsequently taken over by Republican Fundietards, Corporatists, and generally uneducated white blue collar rednecks who don't know what's best for them.
These people think they are mirroring the Boston Tea Party, but in reality are doing no such thing as the original Boston Tea Party was meant to stand against the corporatism practiced by the East India Company with the passing of the Tea Act of 1773. In short, this act gave the EIC permission to import tea into the colonies TAX FREE. This was done to screw over American tea businesses. Sound familiar?
They are also using this as an excuse to push a far-right christian fundietard agenda by gutting social programs, education, regulatory agencies and women's health services.
The end goal of their master is a stupid, destitute populace that is subservient to them and ONLY them.
These folks also love to project their own failures onto anything they perceive as 'the Left', or 'Liberals', or 'Libtards'. Examples of this include throwing around the words 'Indoctrination', 'Socialism', and 'Communism'. It seems all we can do now is prevent them from becoming another Liberty League.

Person 1: What's with the Tea Party? Don't they realize that the people they put in office want to hurt them, not help them?
Person 2: I'm sure people were asking the same thing about the Liberty League during FDR's presidency..sad how history repeats itself.

Short for Temporarily Embarrassed Aristocrat. This can mostly be applied to lay members of the Tea Party who have had it beaten into their brains by fox news that anything even remotely 'Socialist' or 'Left Wing' is evil, anti-American and unpatriotic.
These folks also believe that taxing the 'Job Creators' will kill the economy further despite the fact that due to numerous loopholes and tax breaks, many of these 'Job Creators' bay ZERO federal or state taxes. All of this is public record. Just look at the profits and tax returns of the top 20 corporations in America for your proof.
Lastly, a T.E.A. believes that by allowing the real Aristocrats to walk all over them, that they too will become part of the elite...but, like the so-called American Dream, it is just that: A dream. Many are also doing it for the sake of playing the FYIGM card. This term originates from a quote by John Steinbeck.

person 1: "Do those T.E.A. folks realize they're being used?"
person 2: "Some of them don't care all that much. Those folks would do this just to spite anything or anyone that disagrees with them."
"Socialism never took off in America because the workers there see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires." -John Steinbeck
