New Rochelle,NY—New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson, held a press conference yesterday on the steps of City Hall to make the announcement that he had located the source of the Tea Party in New Rochelle; Thomas Paine Cottage. Bramson also announced that he would be seeking help from Federal Government exorcists to rid the area of Thomas Paine’s Ghost.
Since the end of March when New Rochelle veterans raised the Gadsden Flag over the Naval Militia Armory, Bramson has been on a Tea Party witch hunt, even enlisting the help of Westchester County Tea Party founder Giulio Cavallo. When asked why? Bramson stated “In order to find the Tea Party you need someone who can think like the Tea Party.” When opposition to Bramson’s Echo Bay project started mounting and The “No to Echo Bay” signs started popping up all over New Rochelle, the need to locate the source of this popular awakening became increasingly dire. The Echo Bay vote had been pushed back until after election day so that the Tea Party threat could be neutralized.
Today Bramson claimed to have finally pinpointed the source of inspiration for the uprising. Thomas Paine who’s most famous work “Common Sense” inspired the American colonist to become the founding generation of revolutionaries, is now being blamed for Bramson’s current troubles in New Rochelle. “Although Paine has been dead for over two centuries, his writings still exist as a source of radicalization and right wing extremism, his ghost has been known to haunt the area around his cottage where he once lived.” said Bramson.
In a move that left residents stunned, Bramson ordered City Manager Chuck Strome to instruct DPW workers to cover the 100 year old monument dedicated to Paine and on which portions of his work were inscribed by New Rochelle’s ancestors until the city has enough money to destroy it. Councilman Jared Rice backed the mayors decision by saying that he and many others in New Rochelle found Paine’s politics to be “offensive”.
The cottage and the closed museum adjacent to it will be gifted to Forest City Ratner for the newly announced Bramson lake development. When asked why the name of the lake was changed, Bramson said “it would be wrong for New Rochelle and Westchester to have any reminder of its heritage of freedom an republican government.” Jacob’s Leisler’s statute will also be destroyed and a statue of Mayor Bramson will take it’s place, the statue will bear the phrase “Progress is debt, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is strength”.
Thomas Paine’s Ghost was available for questioning at the cottage. When asked what he thought of Bramson’s announcement of his pending exorcism he quoted a passage from his work “The American Crisis”. Paine said:
“To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead.”
Bramson countered by saying that was just what he would expect a dead Tea Party rebel leader to say and proves his point as to why Paine’s insistence on the use of reason is so dangerous.
This article is purely satire, any resemblance to real people or real events was intentional. Hopefully it helps to illustrate how ridiculous the Tea Party accusations coming from the Bramson all year long have been.
Moises,
Be careful, you may
Moises,
Be careful, you may give Bramson ideas we will all regret,lol!
I don’t get it —
Noam is terrible, but distancing himself from The Tea Party is a good political plan.
Does anybody take those Tea Party clowns seriously? No one who should be taken seriously takes the Tea Party seriously.
Please Meet One of Obama’s “Extremists”
Please Meet One of Obama’s “Extremists”

(FOR THOSE WHO HAVE TROUBLE READING THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE: I-DID-NOT-WRITE THIS-BUT-I AGREE-WITH-EVERY-WORD, signed Mike Scully (I wrote that part).
President Obama and his henchmen have savagely attacked the Tea Party, with the president himself branding his opponents as “extremists” and his surrogates comparing them to terrorists, for starters.
Well thank God this president’s “open minded” worldview stops at the Tea Party’s door.
If any Obama officials or their allies are reading, let me introduce to one these terrorists, a woman named Georgina. As you will be able to discern, she’s a dangerous radical, drunk with hatred, desperate to destroy the nation’s credit rating, and dying to stick it to Obama.
I think this should confirm your suspicions that you are nobly combating a dangerous element. If you have some jackboots and truncheons at the ready, please don them, because Georgina must be stopped.

Keith:
My husband and I have been involved with the Tea Party from the very beginning. We marched in Washington on April 15, 2010, the original protest of the Tea Party. We have been involved with Tea Party causes, protests, candidates, etc. since then.
We are grandparents in our early 70’s who are worried, not so much about ourselves, but who are worried sick about the type of Country our grandchildren will be living in. We are college graduates, worked in Corporate America for over 30 years, raised two wonderful daughters who are outstanding citizens, have 3 wonderful Grandchildren and are comfortably retired. We love this Country dearly and are very, very grateful to those who had the wisdom to found it and to those who have had the courage to defend it.
We have so many friends that feel the same way and we wonder, are we in the majority or are we really just a tiny segment of the populations, as the Liberals like to say? Since the Liberal Establishment is so vicious in their attacks, we think that they must feel that there are more of us than it makes them comfortable, and they are afraid of what our movement can do to their agenda.
Witness the IRS scandal. It is amusing and sort of sad to hear the Liberal Establishment depicts us as “terrorists”, “anarchists”, “dangerous”, “arsonists”, etc. We are just regular Americans who want to live and let live, who love this Country and who want to preserve it for the next generation. It is as simple as that.
I happen to be an American by choice, (Mexican-American heritage). I know what is like to grow up in the Third World and it makes me very uneasy to start seeing things I grew up with in Mexico, such as the eroding of our personal safety and property rights, and the increase of “Crony” Capitalism and corruption, becoming more and more common in this Country.
It is my feeling that many of our young people now days should visit one of those “Socialist” countries they think we should emulate and see how the “real people,” not the “elites,” do live there. They have no idea of what this Country is all about and how fortunate they are to have been born as an American.
We have no choice but to continue “fighting” in any way we can.
The Republican Party needs to learn to communicate the ideas of Liberty, Limited Government and the Free Market in a more articulate and effective way. They really have been so ineffective to date.
Georgina
*******
Thanks Georgina for you eloquent statement, which I think speaks for many who associate themselves with the Tea Party and its advocates in Congress. I’m deeply sorry the man who is supposed to be president of all of us thinks of you as an enemy.
Tea Party’s Rantings Damage the Republican Party and the USA
Tea Party’s Rantings Damage the Republican Party and the USA
Georgina wrote an amusing statement, indicating that she is very right-wing and isolated from the main-stream population of the USA.
Actually, the mainstream media in the USA is moderate-to-conservative and not very liberal at all. That is partially due to the fact that the USA has become very conservative over the last 40 years. Our last liberal President was LBJ.
Richard Nixon was perceived as conservative in his day, but by today’s standards, Georgina would consider Nixon very liberal. Whereas, Obamacare is based on businesses providing insurance, Nixon had advocated a much better plan, similar to Canada’s where the government itself provided the insurance.
One has to be very extremely right-wing, to think the USA is very liberal today, or to think that that the mainstream media, all owned by big business, is liberal.
The mainstream of modern American politics, government and media, is all moderate-to-conservative, and not very liberal at all.
Liberals are not at all vicious in their attacks.
It is the few Tea Party advocates who are vicious, and who recently tried destroying the USA and world economies, out of spite, by attempting to shut down our government, simply because the Tea Party is so unpopular. Because of the irrational behavior of the Tea Party in Congress, these ultra-conservative extremists have destroyed their own movement, and perhaps have permanently destroyed the Republican Party.
It is true that by now, most Americans do consider the Tea Party, at least the ones in Congress, to be terrorists, anarchists and dangerous.
But, Georgina doesn’t understand the sarcasm when someone accuses them of planning ‘arson’. That is an unfair comparison of the Tea Party, as wishing to burn down the Capitol Building like the Nazi’s literally burned down the Reichstag. Regarding the Tea Party, that hyperbolic metaphor, is not to be taken literally, but is a reference to Tea Party having recently attempted to destroy the functioning of Congress within the Capitol Building.
However, Georgina wrote “We have no choice but to continue “fighting” in any way we can”. But what does any way we can mean? Is that the same thing as ‘any means necessary’? If that’s what Georgina means, then in fact she IS advocating dangerous terrorism, anarchy, arson, murder, kidnapping and civil war, much like the drug cartel in her native Mexico.
Regarding her statement, “We are just regular Americans who want to live and let live, who love this Country and who want to preserve it for the next generation. It is as simple as that”. No doubt that is Georgina’s actual perspective, however the road to Hell is paved with such good intentions originating with well-meaning, people trapped in their fantasy bubble, while being ignorant of reality, economics, math, history, etc.
Georgina implies she is somewhat ignorant of American culture and history, when she states she was born in Mexico. Perhaps her perspectives are truer in Mexico, but are totally misplaced and strange in the USA.
Georgina doesn’t understand the Republican Party at all, when she states “The Republican Party needs to learn to communicate the ideas of Liberty, Limited Government and the Free Market in a more articulate and effective way. They really have been so ineffective to date.”
The Republican Party doesn’t advocate liberty or limited government, as it is the very political party that attempts to control a woman’s body.
In its entire history since its founding, the Republican Party has never advocated a Free Market. The one consistent thing about the Republican Party has been that it has advocated for Big Business and the Financial Industry, all of which is detrimental to the Free Enterprise of small businesses.
Georgina also seems ignorant that almost every country in the world is more socialist than the USA, including all of Europe and Canada. Are people really living that badly in the UK, France, the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark or Japan, all of which are far more socialist than the USA? China, of course, is communist, not socialist.
One more thing, Barack Obama is moderate not liberal. All of our Presidents from the great FDR in 1933 through Richard Nixon in 1974, were far more liberal than any President since 1974. To a large extent, liberalism ceased to be empowered since George McGovern lost the 1972 Presidential Election, to Nixon.
It is the Tea Party who considers President Obama to be an enemy. Barack Obama considers the Tea Party to be ignorant and irritating, but more a danger to the Republican Party. The Tea Party’s irrational, dangerous misinformed rantings and behavior, by defaming and damaging the GOP, only benefits the Democrats and President Obama.
wow talk about detachment from reality, and bigotry
Brian,
I have a question do you get your revisionist history from MSNBC, or a liberal college professor or Huff Post?
The media is not Liberal but moderate to conservative? wow. that’s so off base its funnier than my satire.
Liberals are not all vicious in their attacks? are your serious? does Bill Maher ring any bells who called Sarah Palin a cunt and her son a retard?. Or the guy making death threats on twitter to Ted Cruz and his family? Liberals are the epitome of tolerance hypocrites. they are tolerant of your beliefs as long as you agree with them.
There is nothing in the history of the republican party about liberty, Free Market? seriously where did you learn history? Abraham Lincoln? Martin Luther King JR, the abolitionists ALL republicans. The Democrats started the KKK to intimidate black voters, started Jim Crowe Laws and filibustered the 1964 civil rights act. Do you even know what the free market is?
Democrats are not the party of big business? gee im pretty sure Obama’s campaign donors included Goldman Sachs and several other huge evil corporations, or how about our own Noam Bramson cheerleading for Forest City a large corporation known to make profit at the people’s expense? Have you even been to upper westchester? how many CEO’s of major corporations live here? how many of them are Democrats. All the Richest CEO’s I’ve ever known have all been democrats. Money and Power control both parties.
So because she is from Mexico somehow that means she is ignorant of american history? how tolerant and liberal of you. As a Mexican American I find that extremely offensive, my family are all US citizens by naturalization including my uncle a veteran of 3 wars, and had to pass a US history test that I’m sure with your demonstrated lack of historical knowledge you would not be able to pass, but its cool right you can make outright racist and bigoted statements because you are a democrat.
and your government false flag terrorism reichstag example doesn’t even apply here, its a bad example that was the government attacking itself to consolidate control over the people, has absolutely nothing to do with the millions of Americans who are conservative or Identify with the Tea Party.
I am not the a tea party member but i am not about to be so prejudiced and bigoted as to assume that they are all a bunch of terrorists, did you know out of all the recent mass shooters NONE have identified with the tea party but they were democrats and Obama supporters, that’s a fact, look it up. If there was one MSNBC surely would talk about it nonstop.
Why do you think they are terrorist? because the government and the media is telling you so? the same government that trains Law enforcement to believe the founding fathers were terrorist? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oP1Ke70Mi8
Did you know that Obama’s administration sent guns and grenades to the cartels that plague Mexico and have killed thousands of my people?, did you know that they also armed Al Qaeda rebels in Libya, and Syria, and even waived the law that said it was illegal for him to do so?, Did you know that the person responsible for bringing Obama into Political life was William Ayers of the left wing Communist terrorist group the Weather Underground that carried out actual bombings against our government?
The “Great FDR”?? you mean the one that rounded up Japanese Americans deprived them of the constitutional rights and place them in internment camps in the desert? Funny how you liberals defenders of civil liberties always seem to forget about that…
No you wouldn’t know any of those inconvenient truths that of you revisionist indoctrination censors anything that is inconvenient to the liberal dogma
you think Tea Party people are ignorant of math history and science? a Yale professor thought that too and he had to face the fact that he was being Elitist prejudice and wrong http://bit.ly/167tU9p
so are you.
With this comment you have proved every single Liberal stereotype to be right on point.
Well Done Moises!
Game, set and match
For those keeping score
Mr. Valencia – 1
Mr Sussman – nitwit
Brian is completely incapable of having an honest debate about anything. He has been labeled as a compensatory narcissist and one only needs to read an excerpt from one of his diatribes to observe this disorder. Many people, myself included have attempted to have an honest conversation with him, but he is just incapable of doing so unless you are willing to listen as he tries to convince you of how much more “enlightened” he is. Only Mr Sussmann can know the truth with no room for anyone’s differing opinion.
While he may come across as insulting, it is really harmless once you realize it is a personality disorder. Countless readers have suggested he gets the help he needs.
I, for one, am done with him.
Just to re-cap, well done Moises, well done.
Bravo
Excellently done, Moises. Wish I could write as well as you.
Please be careful, Moises
Moises –
Please don’t stoop to Brian’s level. Not all Democrats are as you describe. There are those, like me, who vote not necessarily along party lines, but vote for the candidate who will do the best job for the people. And I do beg to differ…most wealthy CEOs that I have known are Republicans. It doesn’t matter though….can’t we just stay away from the labels??
What? Moises Valencia Worry ??
Any resemblance between Moises Valencia and any intelligent or humorous statement is purely coincidental. I’m kidding, there is no such resemblance.
FAIL
Again, proving how open minded, tolerant and civil NEO-Liberals can be. Way to Go Brian!
I say NEO because none of you know what classical liberalism is and you are all closer to Marxist-Socialists now than real liberals like Adam Smith, Frederic Bastiat, Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington.
