The New International Sign For The Useful Idiot

I was traveling with my husband and a friend in my van yesterday on a stretch of Interstate 40 in North Carolina.  My van is a rather large vehicle (something I often describe as a personnel carrier) and it draws a lot of attention.  I recently began using it as a mobile billboard for the Asheville Tea Party.

Throughout the duration of our roadtrip, which lasted a total of 8 hours, we saw people reading the car windows and occasionally casting us smiles, but we were unprepared for the response we got from one pair of motorists that passed us late in our journey.  At the moment that one particular SUV passed us. we all looked to the left and saw the driver and passenger laughing at us and vigorously simulating, um…how do I put this delicately?…fellatio.

Okay.  Ha ha.  We get it.  We’re “teabaggers.”  In case you missed this highly sophisticated cultural reference which has been thrust into the mainstream by such luminaries as Anderson Cooper and Rachel Maddow, suffice to say it is another depraved reference to a sexual act that has been applied to Tea Party supporters because we chose the historical reference point of the Boston Tea Party.  And isn’t it hilarious?  I mean, aren’t you crying in hysterics over the highbrow humor?  You see, either you don’t find it funny because you’re a Tea Bagging hick, or because you don’t have a sense of humor.  ”It’s just a joke.”  That’s how the Left answers outrage at offensive behavior.  

This is another entry in The Book of Sensitivity and Political Correctness for Thee But Not For Me by The Liberal Left.  This chapter on the double standard is epic, and the end has not yet been written.  The double standard is a symptom of Collectivism.  Apparently, the Collective approves of slandering an entire segment of the nation with vicious, offensive references…so long as the object of the slander is out of favor with the Collective.  There isn’t a sure way to determine the values of the Collective.  One must observe those who have been destroyed by it to know it’s current notions.  At present, if you’re a white male construction worker, you’re fair game for Collectivist slander.  Black female athlete?  No one will get away with talking smack about you.  University frat boy lacrosse player?  Better keep a lawyer on retainer.  Child of a Conservative Republican politician?  Watch out for dirty old men with grudges.  And on it goes…  But don’t make the error of trying to understand the logic of the Collective.  There is none.  Just because you’re on the nice list today, doesn’t mean you won’t be on the naughty list tomorrow.  Just ask any of the many, many people that our Collectivist In Chief has thrown under the bus when they lost their luster.

So, getting back to the couple in the car…their gesture is the Collectivist’s answer du jour to legitimate questions and concerns about the state of our nation.  This is why I call what they were doing “The International Sign For The Useful Idiot.”  I ask them what we are going to do about the problem of unlimited federal power, and they laugh derisively and call me a “teabagger.”  I voice my concern over the coming inflation as a result of the Fed’s debasement of our currency, and they make an obscene hand gesture at me, give each other a high five, and walk away.  And with that, the Collective has once again been relieved of taking responsibility for anything.  They don’t have to answer me because the people who think for them have told them that I am nothing more than a Tea Bagging hick worthy of their scorn.  

It’s an ironic image.  Two cars side by side.  One broadcasting honest concerns.  One broadcasting a thoughtless and obscene answer to those concerns.  And they both head down the road to destruction.   Now isn’t that hilarious?
