Tea Party gets the bird

This has got to be the only place remaining in America where the Tea Party still has a float in parades.

The BTPers still have their idiotic float in the Bellevue/Dayton Memorial Day Parade each year - even though getting into the Tea Party today would be like getting into the Atari 2600 in 1992. (For what it's worth, Hillary Clinton won Bellevue with 53%. I haven't computed Dayton though.) The Tea Party has no respect for the real meaning of Memorial Day. They support Donald Trump despite his scamming of war vets and his remarks on John McCain's military service. But today was the first time I've ever been to a parade where a float actually heckled the crowd.

As Team Tyranny's float tooled down Fairfield Avenue, I turned my back on their float and extended my middle finger against my back where the BTPers could see it (and nobody else could).

This caused the BTPers to angrily heckle the crowd with their right-wing political slogans.

The community needs to take a stand against hate groups like the Tea Party. And make no mistake, it is a hate group. The Southern Poverty Law Center even classed Tea Party Nation as a hate group.

Despite the Tea Party's attempt to spoil the event, a person was in such a festive mood that they bubbled.
