A corporate-funded astroturf campaign disguised as a grass roots movement. A movement who's main objective is to further enrich the top 1% through various subversive means such as cutting the top tax rate (which is already the lowest it's been since the 1920s), and which has little agenda otherwise.
The Tea Party Patriots Official American Grassroots Movement is actually just a disingenuous attempt by the billionaire Koch brothers and Fox News to shift the country's economic policy further in favor of wealthy, powerful elites, ignoring the fact that such policies under George Dubya led to the Great Recession.

Get the Patriot Act mug.The 342-page document, created as a response to 9/11, that takes away all Americans' rights.
Basically, if a person walks down the street incorrectly, or simply speaks out against government policies, they are considered to be a threat, and they will be punished swiftly and severely -- even if they are INNOCENT.
Basically, the entire constitution has been repealed by the passage of this act, and it lays the groundwork for a fascist "police state."

Get the PATRIOT ACT mug.Passed by 98 votes to 1 in congress, the only member against the movement being Russ Fenigold of Wisconsin. The legislation is a maze, legible by only the best lawyers. Basically, it blurs the lines on treatment of detainees. It has led to many incidents of Bush strangling America's liberties: over 950 counts of false charges have been recorded under it, many relating to anti-Bush posters etc. It may not look bad but it will lead to the TIA (Terrorist Information Act), which will allow the government to monitor anything from our financial records to what we ate last night. It's like 1984. By the way, counted the number of American terrorist deaths in the past few years, excluding 9/11: ZERO.
Interviewer: Is "1984" what will happen in that year?
George Orwell: No, it's a warning. Don't let it happen.
Alas, it is the beginning of the end unless we vote the security hawks out.
