The rules are confusing

With great anticipation Kadizzle dressed in his best T Shirt to go to his second Tea Party meeting. He was greeted at the door by the usual enforcers who informed him he could not attend. Apparently the Tea Party took great offense at some of the things written on this blogg.

The enforcers tried to prevent Kadizzle from talking with Shirley. They know she is more level headed than they are. Remember Shirley is the kindly lady who tries to control the uncontrollable. Kadizzle managed to get Shirley's attention and she explained the Tea Party voted to keep Kadizzle out of the meeting at the board meeting. Strangely the same board meeting voted to allow Pete back in. Pete got thrown out the last time for reporting unseemly remarks about Wendy Rodgers. Truth, that does not fit the Tea Party truth got printed in two Payson Roundup newspapers. 

No one ever explained to Kadizzle that there were two sets of rules. One set of Rules applies to the Tea Party, and the other set of rules applies to the general public. Apparently this is how it works. The Tea Party is free to lie, distort, deceive, and promote any bizzare nonsense they wish.  The Tea Party can say Trump won the election, which is a lie, and of course untrue. The Tea Party can accuse anyone of being a socialist, communist or pedophile. The Tea Party can claim Biden is a pedophile, Hillary runs a sex ring or you name it. No insane statement is too crazy to be repeated at the Tea Party meeting. Wendy Rodgers showed us that. 

On the other hand if the Tea Party censors feel you have demeaned them, then out you go. You can read the same Bible the Tea Party uses and come to an entirely different conclusion than they do. In their Bible is the phrase " Know the truth, and the Truth shall set you free".  That phrase is in every Bible, but their truth is way different from ordinary truth. Trump won, that is the Tea Party Truth. 

Kadizzle now realizes the Tea Party not only has their own version of the Bible, but they Tea Party has their own dictionary.  The Tea Party took great offense because Kadizzle referred to them as a cult. Look up the definition of cult. A normal person would clearly see the Tea Party meets all the requirements of a cult.

• The group is focused on a living leader to whom members seem to display excessively zealous, unquestioning commitment. The living leader is Donald Trump
• The group is preoccupied with bringing in new members.
• The group is preoccupied with making money.
• Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished. Well just look at what happened to Kadizzle and Pete for publishing the Truth.
• Mind-numbing techniques (such as meditation, chanting, speaking in tongues, denunciation sessions, debilitating work routines) are used to suppress doubts about the group and its leader(s).
• The leadership dictates sometimes in great detail how members should think, act, and feel. 
• The group is elitist, claiming a special, exalted status for itself, its leader(s), and members (for example: the leader is considered the Messiah or an avatar; the group and/or the leader has a special mission to save humanity). Donald Trump is the Messiah.
• The group has a polarized us- versus-them mentality, which causes conflict with the wider society. You are seeing this in action in every television ad the Republicans run. 
• The group's leader is not accountable to any authorities (as are, for example, military commanders and ministers, priests, monks, and rabbis of mainstream denominations). Wow this fits Trump perfectly as he ignores the law, the FBI, and judges. 
• The group teaches or implies that its supposedly exalted ends justify means that members would have considered unethical before joining the group. (for example: collecting money for bogus causes. Something Trump, Wendy Rodgers, and Steve Bannon all have done).
• The leadership induces guilt feelings in members in order to control them.
• Members' subservience to the group causes them to cut ties with family and friends, and to give up personal goals and activities that were of interest before joining the group.
• Members are expected to devote inordinate amounts of time to the group.
• Members are encouraged or required to live and/or socialize only with other group members. If you are not a group member you are not going to socialize at the Tea Party meeting. 

Free and unfettered communication is the bases of our democracy. The Tea Party claims to promote democracy, but their version of free speech is special. Their meetings are closed to anyone who does not agree with them. Speakers are selected on the basis of the speaker's willingness to adhere to the Tea Party doctrine. No one is going to be asked to speak at a Tea Party meeting that exposes the lies of Donald Trump. No one is going to be asked to speak who explains how Trump robbed college students of 25 million dollars. You get it, you follow the party line or out you go. 

You cannot have it both ways. The Tea Party cannot promote freedom without practicing it themselves. The Tea Party cannot advocate free speech then suppress it when they disagree. Try as they may they cannot make up, down, left, right, and day, night.
