December 16, 2017 is the tenth anniversary of the modern Tea Party.
That fact will surprise many laypersons who uncritically accept the
mainstream narrative that the Tea Party began on February 19, 2009 when
Rick Santelli, live on CNBC from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), declared a rebellion against "socialism" one month into the Obama administration.
But
wait a minute: Rick Santelli on establishment NBC lighting the spark of
an anti-establishment rebellion? An uprising over mere proposed
Obama bailouts of mortgage holders coming four months after silence
over (if not a defense of) George W. Bush's $700 billion TARP bailout of
Wall Street?
