Authoritarianism is the heart and soul of the Teabag 'movement'.

Yet, Teabaggers cry "Freedom". They claim to be Pro-Freedom.

Authoritarians demand obedience to their beliefs. Do as I say,(not as I do)/Submit, agree or die seems to be their meme. Teabaggers view themselves as the 'Authority'. They know what's better for us then we do as individuals. When our freedom and free will clash with the TB view, the TB'er suddenly opposes individual freedom.

Let's examine the Teabag idea of freedom.

Opposing choice and women's reproductive freedom isn't freedom, it's Authoritarianism. It's also oppressive. Authoritarians want to force pregnancy on women and drive them back into the kitchen barefoot and pregnant.

Does the Teabag movement seem friendly to women's independence and things like the Lilly Ledbetter Act? Hell No!

Does that sound like freedom? Yet, TB'ers insist that they stand for freedom.

Opposing a person's right to organize, join, or belong to a union isn't freedom, it's Authoritarianism. It's also oppressive. Supporting fair pay for yourselves, Teabaggers while supporting low pay and wage-slavery for everyone else isn't freedom, it's Authoritarianism. It's also oppressive.

Does that sound like freedom to any sane person? Again, TB'ers insist it's all about freedom.

Opposing access to affordable health care for all isn't freedom, it's Authoritarianism. It's also oppressive.

Racism, xenophobia, bigotry, sexism, misogyny, homophobia are not freedom, they're Authoritarianism. They're all oppressive. The hatemongers flock to the Teabag 'movement'.

Calling for violent revolution against democracy isn't freedom, it's Authoritarianism. It's also oppressive.

The Teabag idea of freedom is really the freedom to oppress. Authoritarianism is not freedom.

Hitler was an Authoritarian, and a Fascist, and a Nazi.

Again, Authoritarianism is the heart and soul of the Teabag 'movement'.

Lurking Teabaggers, Authoritarianism IS NOT FREEDOM! Stop equating the two.

Stop soiling the word "FREEDOM".
