Teabagging for Tots!

[bondwooley]

Yes, it had to happen and it's here: a Tea Party camp this summer for kids 8-12.

This July, 40 lucky kids will be able to attend Tampa Liberty, a week-long summer camp in Temple Terrace, Florida, where they can do fun things like sit soberly in a quiet room called Europe, then pass through an obstacle course to get to a big party in a room called America! They can learn about the gold standard by being given both gold-coin candies and quickly devalued paper money. (The candy, of course, tastes just as good at the end of the week.) They can memorize principles like "America is good!" "God is the center of my life!" "I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to!" "Government cannot force me to be charitable!"

So what do YOU think kids are going to learn "Tampa Liberty?"

- How to speak in Bumper Sticker?

- How to drunk-dial Anita Hill on weekend mornings?

Let's hear it!

2. I wonder if they will also learn to hug their assault rifles.

Idea taken from a bumper sticker I saw this evening driving home: "Have you hugged your assault rifle today?"

3. Constitution 101: Whatever it actually says, repeat the opposite.

[fayhunter]

10. Or read something else and pretend it's the Constitution.

[fayhunter]

4. Clearly they'll learn how to hold a country hostage for he hell of it. n/t

[white_wolf]

5. This should be considered child abuse. n/t

[bondwooley]

7. That will be the day. n/t

[scrubthedata]

6. It would be nice if they taught them speeling and grammer

But that's unlikely. Possibly a trademark violation.

8. and some parents wonder...

why their kids grow up hating them.

[fayhunter]

9. And in that recent case, killing them!

[Harry J Asslinger]

11. Sounds like..

A great way to keep their economic, political, and spiritual understanding perpetually at the child level.

[fayhunter]

13. LOL!

Or maintain their established tradition of keeping it at a child's level.

[muntrv]

12. Sounds like Hitler Youth.

15. When you click the link and see those two poor kids with the signs

well, sigh...where to begin.

I don't think they should have anymore chocolate- that first, right off.

[bondwooley]

16. The signs are tragic. Do you think they even know what they mean? n/t

[XanaDUer]

18. No

Not until their school lunches are cut, a four-year degree is priced out of their reach, the girl gets pregnant and feels her best choice might be an abortion in that particular case, since she cannot find a job with health benefits and will be fired or demoted for taking off time for a pregnancy, and when the boy gets a job in a non-union shop, gets injured, and then is thrown out on the street with no help and no health insurance.

So, so sad.

seperate mom and pop teabaggers from their money, that's for sure.

[spanone]

19. political camps...that's some pretty weird shit....
