The Tea Party aren't Hobbits by any stretch of the imagination - hobbits are more like 1970's back-to-the-land hippie organic farmer types.
No, the Tea Party seems to be much more like the Easterlings, who's society has been thoroughly corrupted by promises of power regardless of the decency or lack thereof of the individual members. And Obama seems to be playing the role of Denethor, trying to hold back the tide but not really being able to do so and kinda ambiguous about where he's loyalties really lie.
There are Hobbits and then there are Frodo and his friends. The Hobbits pretty much kept to themselves, eating six meals a day, drinking, doing the minimal work, not really advancing the world is what we would call a productive manner. This is pretty much the Tea Party, whining because thier entitlements as white americans are going away.
This is really about entitlement. The US was founded based on the idea that birth did not define one's future. This was basically started in England with the Civil lis
That is a pretty good analogy and description.....of the Democrats - whining about entitlements. The Republicans represent the New Aristocracy and protects their wealth. Nothing you said is an accurate description of the Tea Party though. Start doing your own thinking and stop sealing sound bites from everyone else and you won't present yourself as having no idea what you are talking about.
