Last week...

The Boston Phoenix reported that Mitt Romney was cautiously moving to the center, this week the Former Viceroy removed all doubt of that little fancy by groveling incontinently before a roomful of vengeful falangists.
Ah but this was to be expected, the Viceroy came of age in the Reagan era where nothing was too right wing save outright Nazi style antisemitism, it was a foregone conclusion he'd try and recast himself once again as a true blue witchburning movement conservative.
Of course it did him no good, one local attendee at CPAC had this to say about Romney:
“I don’t think he understands the phi losophy of freedom that motivates the tea parties,’’said Sean Ryan, a 29-year-old Boston Latin School teacher. “I haven’t really heard Romney speak eloquently about freedom and liberty.’’
Well that is no surprise all Romney really knows about is order, profits & opportunity, personal opportunity the kind that makes a rich man powerful.
Meanwhile down the column a bit, another teabagger had this to say about all that freedom and liberty palaver:
“We have several bars that are infested with liberals in St. Louis,’’ said Dana Loesch, with the St. Louis Tea Party. “Go there, take them over. Say how much you love the Constitution! Say it loud! Make them feel uncomfortable. Have no mercy, take no prisoners, suffer no fools. Don’t let them have a sanctuary.’’

No sanctuary?
Wow, freedom and liberty as long as this bunch of bought & paid for yaps has power, the power to police what the rest of us think and say.
That is teabagging in a nutshell mah frenz.
