I know I’ve been gone for several weeks … unable to write because of the pressures of business and survival in a economic atmosphere designed for only the hardiest of individuals … however, is this the best Team Obama can come up with? The Coffee Party? 
Oh, pa leese! Geez … there’s hokey and then there’s really hokey!
Let me see, if I have it right, a new “grass roots” movement is arising in response to the wildly successful Tea Party Movement, a genuine grass roots movement borne out of the frustration of watching a faux President and his Democratic/socialist lap dogs in a the government gone wild … impervious to the wishes of the populace.
The problem with anything obviously contrived is that it is so easily identified. Metaphorically speaking it is akin to a pimple at the end of a big honker of a nose. It appears that in addition to lacking a single good idea as to how to get the economy going or how to lead and govern, this group of pea brains also lacks genuine creativity. 
I can hear the brain storming (I know that’s an oxymoron) now, ” ya well, if they can call themselves Tea Party members we can be Coffee Party members … tea’s a drink, coffee’s a drink, right? It’s a natural!” No Mensa members here.
Hey, any of you whiz kids ever hear of the Boston Tea Party? No? Thought as much. Here’s something else that’s no surprise; unlike the genuine article the Tea Party Movement, CNN, the Washington Post, and HuffPo all have put a positive spin on the new Coffee Party (ahem, would that be Starbucks, Maxwell House, Dunkin Donuts perhaps) Movement. Unlike the derisive rhetoric used to describe any participant of the Tea Parties, the new Coffee Party participants are reasoned, reasonable folk who just want to get along (everybody sing Kumbaya, my Lord, Kumbaya) … with a political Rodney King mind set as it were.
FYI, here’s a copy of their mission statement
MISSION: The Coffee Party Movement gives voice to Americans who want to see cooperation in government. We recognize that the federal government is not the enemy of the people, but the expression of our collective will (emphasis mine), and that we must participate in the democratic process in order to address the challenges that we face as Americans. As voters and grassroots volunteers, we will support leaders who work toward positive solutions, and hold accountable those who obstruct them.
Bless their collective, no dodge ball playing, everybody gets a trophy, little hearts as they look for solutions while ignoring the Constitution. One last thought. Phony movements are like phony laughs … they are empty, devoid of real sustainable emotion … and all the coffee in the world won’t change that!
Good catch this: “but the expression of our collective will”. It has quite a communist ring to it dontcha think? I don’t know who’s “collective will” they are counting on but, if I was a betting person, I’d bet they are missing several million Americans who aren’t ready to buzz their beehive. Pfffftttt!
