Mr. Mead is looking at the racial angle of recent riots and assaults here in the States, where the Tea Party (naturally) is getting blamed by the usual suspects.
In England, which has no Tea Party, fingers are being pointed at government spending cuts. Apparently leftists think cutbacks in entitlements is a legitimate argument for increased civil unrest.
Here’s the thing. The very same people also constantly try to expand the entitlement culture. Isn’t that…sorta insane? Do poor taxpayers get an excuse if they indulge in violence? If you honestly feel that people receiving government benefits can be expected to riot when benefits are reduced…isn’t that an argument to keep such people to a minimum?!
But wait, there’s more!
If you’re coddling nitroglycerin, you really want to keep things stable and predictable. Well I do, anyway. Does borrowing trillions of dollars…
…with no visible plan to pay it back…
…to expand entitlements and thus the pool of future rioters…make sense to you?
People on entitlements are more likelt to riot? To a W.O.R.M.’s ears, you’re arguing against entitlements. Even if we have to keep taking care of the current entitlees…
…THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO SANE REASON TO LET ANOTHER SINGLE %#%*&#’ING NEW PERSON EVER RECEIVE A SINGLE ENTITLEMENT PENNY.
Well, I’ll listen to arguments as to why it’s a good idea. Could use a few laughs right now.
World's Only Rational Man 
An old Army comrade wrote this on his FB page: Dear Tea Party, I hope you’re happy with what you’ve done. This is your reality…so I asked him who was responsible to date for the deficits (democrats, 2007-2011) and just exactly how was it the Tea Party’s ideology that caused this…because certainly, it wasn’t due to any votes of the newly elected folk who follow such things as the Constitution, limiting gov’t, and free market principles? I also asked why was it that he could not own his vote for The Pied Piper, since he failed to stick to his guns of NOT voting for Obama because he voted TARP.
I also asked him if he spent money to get out of debt and how if we don’t have enough people working how it will fund the SS/Medicare if, indeed it is expanded. Like a true coward, he deleted my post rather than answer my questions.
The tea party is responsible for blacks in Peoria saying they want to “kill white people”?

The tea party is responsible for black people pulling whites out of that cars, robbing and assaulting them? The tea party is responsible for blacks attacking white and asian businesses in Philadelphia?
Puhleeeeeze
The Tea Party= many codewords= racist, hater, terrorist….not unlike the sympathy the left has for “suicide bombers” NOT equaling “jihadist”, “extremist” or”terrorists”!!
