Is there Hope for Teabaggers?

Is the sky blue? Only if there is a body of water near by and the sun is out. But let me begin by saying I am NOT calling the Tea Party 2.0 members teabaggers. The T.P. 2.0 are friends and though we may not see eye to eye on some issues, we all agree that something happened on 9/11 and the 9/11 report is a fraud. We also support H.R. 847, or the First Responder Bill and are willing to pay taxes to support these heroes. Yet Teabaggers are folks who are: antigovernment but rely heavily on government to subsidized themselves in way of: guaranteed loans, clean water, clean air, medicare, social security and other socialist programs, but they are too stupid or too gullible to believe that they deserve all this because their taxes pay for it...and mine...and yours...But is there hope?

While chatting on the Mike Mally Chat on Ustream, do you REALLY think there is hope for the teabaggers? I answered my OWN question and said yes...after Mike was wondering is our country like: George Orwell 1984 or Aldous Huxley Brave New World?  Member Sparkydunc said, WHAT?!!? I then said yes, and Rush may be one reason why. How so? Their album 2112 Or for you non-Rush fan twenty one twelve. It's the year the revolution started. Is this date some sort of significance? The end of the world will end on December 21, 2012 on the Mayan Calendar...supposedly. Is the first one in 21 a play in words? Uh no. It's the drummer Neil Peart's birthday. 2112 or September 12. But then how does this signify a possibility of hope for the Teabaggers? The notes Neil Wrote just before the songs

"I lie awake, staring out at the bleakness of Megadon. City and sky become one, merging into a single plane, a vast sea of unbroken grey. The Twin Moons, just two pale orbs as they trace their way across the steely sky. I used to think I had a pretty good life here, just plugging into my machine for the day, then watching Templevision or reading a Temple Paper in the evening.

"My friend Jon always said it was nicer here than under the atmospheric domes of the Outer Planets. We have had peace since 2062, when the surviving planets were banded together under the Red Star of the Solar Federation. The less fortunate gave us a few new moons.
I believed what I was told. I thought it was a good life, I thought I was happy. Then I found something that changed it all..."

The Next part goes:

II. Temples of Syrinx

... "The massive grey walls of the Temples rise from the heart of every Federation city. I have always been awed by them, to think that every single facet of every life is regulated and directed from within! Our books, our music, our work and play are all looked after by the benevolent wisdom of the priests..."
III. Discovery

... "Behind my beloved waterfall, in the little room that was hidden beneath the cave, I found it. I brushed away the dust of the years, and picked it up, holding it reverently in my hands. I had no idea what it might be, but it was beautiful" ...

... "I learned to lay my fingers across the wires, and to turn the keys to make them sound differently. As I struck the wires with my other hand, I produced my first harmonious sounds, and soon my own music! How different it could be from the music of the Temples! I can't wait to tell the priests about it! ..."

IV. Presentation

... "In the sudden silence as I finished playing, I looked up to a circle of grim, expressionless faces. Father Brown rose to his feet, and his somnolent voice echoed throughout the silent Temple Hall." ...

... "Instead of the grateful joy that I expected, they were words of quiet rejection! Instead of praise, sullen dismissal. I watched in shock and horror as Father Brown ground my precious instrument to splinters beneath his feet..."
V. Oracle: The Dream

... "I guess it was a dream, but even now it all seems so vivid to me. Clearly yet I see the beckoning hand of the oracle as he stood at the summit of the staircase" ...

... "I see still the incredible beauty of the sculptured cities and the pure spirit of man revealed in the lives and works of this world. I was overwhelmed by both wonder and understanding as I saw a completely different way to life, a way that had been crushed by the Federation long ago. I saw now how meaningless life had become with the loss of all these things ..."

VI. Soliloquy

... "I have not left this cave for days now, it has become my last refuge in my total despair. I have only the music of the waterfall to comfort me now. I can no longer live under the control of the Federation, but there is no other place to go. My last hope is that with my death I may pass into the world of my dream, and know peace at last."

 The story was inspired by Ayn Rand's book, but much to the chagrin of Rand and her followers, the lyrics were inspired by the record company's pressure for the band to become more popular and they said no. And the leaders of Megadon City were priests, making the planet a THEOCRACY, not a DEMOCRACY. Not resisting the government. Think for a minute. The band is from Canada. The government TELLS the people to pay taxes so poor folks can get medical and dental. The band had every opportunity as multimillionaires to live permanently in the U.S, and pay less in taxes, but refuse to do so. And as permanent residents to the U.S. theuy're paying taxes again in the U.S. And Rand Paul, the tax-hating Republican loves this band.

So with more Teabaggers listening to Rush and enjoying 2112, all they need to do is research the band and realize that rich people, like the band members from Rush, knows the importance of a truly free society...even if it means to pay taxes.
