(photo/burningwell.org)The overtly anti-President slash "Obama is a socialist" caravan known as the "tea party express" has been busy spreading fear and resurrecting the dead as it makes it's way across the country. Those who organize these parties are set against health-care reform and the government's spending spree aimed at getting us out of a recession.
Protest signs with altered photos of the President looking like Hitler and Batman nemesis The Joker, have sparked outrage in some communities. The movement would be better served if these tactics ignited epiphany and thereafter creative alternative solutions to offer to our citizens. Instead, these parties play on American's fear of losing their basic necessities of life. Like health care, personal wealth and dignity.
In the absence of a moment of sudden intuitive understanding or an actual copy of a completed health care bill, you may find yourself grateful for one of these ten items at your next tea party.
