The Tea Party downgrade

An Army buddy of mine (who’s still in) is stationed in Brussels with NATO. He was recently traveling from Paris to Brussels by rail (in uniform) with a group of American, French and British Army officers. He happened to notice a group of youths lounging nearby, with a large green flag sporting a star and crescent hanging behind them. One of the French Army officers explained that certain sections of various train stations, including the Paris Metro and Gare du Nord, had been taken over by muslim youths. While they were speaking, one of these youths smiled at my buddy and then drew his thumb across his throat in a slitting gesture.

You’re absolutely right about that “stew”.

There’s seems to be seductive adrenaline rush associated with participation in rioting or looting, and a novelty to the physicality of violent anarchism used as entertainment in itself, not just as a means to vent repressed impulses and socio-economic frustrations, but this would all be a symptom of some deeper psychosocial malady taking hold on a global scale

The global insanity meter seems to be off the charts

That’s just the British warming up for Saturday, which is the the start of the English Premier League (soccer) season.

I think the Tea Party won at a cost to all of us.

So far they have cut $23B from a 2012 deficit of $1500B. That is 1.5% of the deficit, less than 1% of yearly spending. Basically nothing. In my book, they lost.

Cutting 1% makes you an extremest?
