This post is about teabaggers, not guys who dip their balls in peoples' faces, but the conservative movement (though the groups probably overlap more than they don't).
Teabaggers aren't really complaining about taxes. The fact is that Obama lowered 99% of teabaggers' taxes, and I have a hard time believing they are protesting just because they have so much compassion for those poor people who are burdened with being filthy rich. So much for their stated cause of social unrest.
So really what ARE they protesting about?
I got a bit of the idea the other day when I saw a handmade sign for a local teabagging fest here in Phoenix. From the side I recognized the familiar teal colors and the gold wedding ring. The notice had been written on the back of an old "Protect Marriage Arizona" yard sign from yesteryear. So teabaggers are intolerant people... intolerant of all those "others" out there. Hmmm. Then I read this http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/... and it pretty well all made sense.
What it is all about is Obama. Remember a few years ago, before the entire 2008 election cycle? If someone asked you what would happen in America if we elected a black president, you probably would have guessed the racists would go nuts and it would stir their unrest. Well, the election happened. And did you forget that you were expecting something like that to happen? Because it is happening. Teabaggers are fueled by racism.
Keep in mind they're coming off of a high where they had Bush in office for 8 long years as well. I don't suggest that Bush was a racist (if anything, this is probably the one nice thing in the entire world I can say about him), but Bush was obviously the candidate for the racists in 2000 and 2004. And they got used to being in charge of American policy during his term.
I'll just let this post from Stormfront speak for itself:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think every WN needs to not only attend the April 15th Tea Party nearest you (I’m going to the Alamo in San Antonio) but then stay involved and help provide leadership to this movement.
"I believe that this is the white revolution we’ve been waiting for.
"It doesn’t look what we expected but this is it.
"I’ve seen probably 50 videos on TV showing previous marches and what strikes me is that the participants are all WHITE. It stands to reason . . . we’re the ones being taxed to support Affirmative Action, Welfare and other worthless social programs. It’s our tax dollars going to ACORN and supporting the 12 million illegals swarming into our neighborhoods."

There you go.
So next time you see teabaggers putting up their teabag party signs and you stop and wonder why they are protesting taxes if their taxes just got lowered... you can remember the real reason: This is the racist revolt against America electing not just a Democrat, but a Democrat who is a black man.
Watch these teabaggers carefully, and don't get any scrotum in your eye.
