I was challenged by one Laura Griffin on the Kathleen Wynne page to define what a Teabagger like Hudak and Harper are without going to google. Here is my response...

"OK Laura Griffin, here it is right from the top of my head...

A Teabagger is an extreme right wing conservative that does not believe in science or evidence based policy. In most cases they are anti science and a good portion are evangelical Christians.
...

Their philosophy is based on the Chicago School of Economics specifically those of Milton Friedman and its equivalent in Canada the Calgary School of Economics. They believe in trickle down economics where the rich get richer and the poor have to fend for themselves. They are anti tax of any kind to fund health care, public transportation and even schools.

 

In order to kill social programs that have been built up over a period of decades, they follow a program called "starving the beast". This involves running up huge deficits usually by cutting taxes to the wealthy and big corporations, general give ways and subsidies to corporations and big military expenditures, and then trying to justify their cuts to social programs with the big deficits they have created. You can see this happening in The Bush and Harper administrations.

 

Teabaggers are anti renewable energy and would rather have big business control the energy market. This is why Hudak has threatened to cancel all renewable energy contracts and has opted for his big business interests in the nuclear and gas industries.

 

Many are social conservative that base their beliefs in the literal teachings of the bible. Ie Preston Manning, Stockwell Day, Steven Harper etc to name a few. Consequently they are anti women and anti gay. They believe in long prison terms and reject rehabilitation even for the most minor crimes.

The results of Teabagger policies, like those of Harper and Hudak, are a declining middle class, and widening income gap and an increase in the number of poor people. Their support of the fossil fuel industry supports pollution and illnesses caused by pollution.

 

Teabaggers are a direct threat to the health and wealth of this country.

 

Generally Teabaggers appeal to those poor and uninformed voters who have no clue about the bigger picture and focus on one or two issues.

 

Teabaggers like Hudak and Harper are bad news for most everybody."

 

Is this what Ontario needs or wants at this volatile economic time..... A Stephen Harper meme destroying the support programs across Ontario.

 

Ontario cannot afford Teabagger Tim
