The Tea Party Formed Unholy Alliance With The Left

August 9, 2013 By Egberto Willies

Sorry, there was a YouTube error.

Tea Party

It was bound to happen. Right Wing groups that continue to be used by organizations like Americans For Progress (AFP) and Freedom Works to do their dirty works sometimes wake up to do what is best not only for their best interest but for society at large. It is the thing that the American Plutocracy fears the most.

It has happened before.

In 2012, the Atlanta Tea Patriot Patriots joined the NAACP and the Sierra Club to successfully defeat a $7.2 billion transit tax referendum. That same year, Tea joined forces with Occupy Atlanta and the AFL-CIO to stop an anti-union bill that would have banned protests at private residences (the bill sought to protect the “right of quiet enjoyment” of CEOs). [source]

Well now it is happening again.

The threat of a grassroots movement united across ideological lines manifested itself again last month when the Tea Party Patriots – allied with environmentalists of the Sierra Club – triumphed in a win for solar energy. [source]

The American Plutocracy better beware. When you keep squeezing the middle class and pushing them to the brink, they will eventually wake up. Those that have been fooled may be reluctant to give up the safety of their groups. Alliances may just be the escape they need for targeted attacks of and defense from the Plutocracy.

    It only makes sense for the two sides to join forces, both sides seem to want to end the corporatization of the government and all the harm it is doing. There are only 2 things that my ultra-conservative friends and my liberal friends agree on; 1) The end of our bought and paid for congress. 2) hatred for the Westboro Baptist Church. If we want true change we need to take on the establishment and the only way to win is to show an undeniable united force that will vote out our do-nothing, corporate-congress, both Republican and Democrat alike. Divided we fall has been used against the country for too long.
