The Electric Tea Party Acid Test - Tea Party Values Are Hippie Values
Epa is so going to love this.
From Zombie:
This is a memo to America’s hippies:
Tea Party values are hippie values.
You heard me right. The Tea Party is the one social movement in contemporary America that can rightfully claim to be the ideological heir to the original hippie movement that started in the mid-’60s. And because of this, all current hippies and ex-hippies should support the Tea Party, and by extension Tea Party candidates.
I’d like to have a private heart-to-heart talk with my fellow hippies here, so can the rest of you please stop reading now and leave us alone for a while? Thanks.
Let’s Rap
If you, as a hippie, think the thesis of this essay couldn’t possibly be true, you’ve been paying too much attention to the mainstream media. The Tea Party has been intentionally misrepresented, villainized and smeared by the powers-that-be. But this too is a feature that the Tea Party shares with hippies — the hippie movement was itself misrepresented and smeared by a different mainstream media over 40 years ago.
This essay will elucidate in a fresh way how Tea Partiers are the true heirs to the hippie ethos. When you’ve finished reading, you’ll see the Tea Party in a new light and (hopefully) understand that you may have been on the wrong side of the fence until now.
In short, the Tea Party and the hippie movement share four fundamental core values:
A craving for independence;
A celebration of individualism;
Joy in the freedom offered by self-sufficiency;
And an acceptance of the natural order of things.
Go read the whole thing.

March Of The Deadheads
I've been about thinking old bands and happened to recall the Grateful Dead, and happened to remember they had a track dedicated to Allah I'm wondering if there were any Muslim Deadheads and if there was any bad blood about their 1975 release,...
