Patriots Tea Party

I have chosen this Tea party site because it is very right wing. It enthuses the republican view by using emotive language that any American can relate to. Along with this, it bombards the viewer with information that is pro republican ,and other segments that use convincing statistics that state the current government system is damaging for America
"The Debt clock" at the top of the page is a powerful visual aid that shows the debt of America climbing at a fast pace. This screams at the viewer that the electoral decision for Obama to be president has caused this, and makes them feel completely helpless, making them more likely to vote against him in the next election.
The site plays off of the religious views of the republicans to get them on its side having a mast head that states "God bless America" and by having featured articles about the relationship between Americans and God and how Americans should have certain rights based on both religious sources and the constitution.
When talking about the current Tea party movement in general it doesn't really echo the historic values it claims to be based on. The original Boston Tea party was refusal of imports from the current government (the English). The modern Tea party movement doesn't really hold the same values, as now America has been formed and it is now divided Republican and Democrat and what the movement is claiming is that it dosent want the decisions of the domocratic rule to apply such as with the Medi care and the more Socialist style of governing.
