It seems that the "liberals" and other leftists see the "Occupy [whatever]" movement (such as it is) as their answer to the Tea Party movement. So, apparently, we have a Tea Party, for liberty from tyrany (including the "nice" kind) and for personal responsibility for one's own life and choices, and a Flea Party, for liberty from the tyrany of soap and for living at someone else's expense.
edit:
As a response to (or reaction against) the Tea Party movement, there is *also* a "Flee Party" contingent to the Democrats; I refer to the elected legislators in multiple States who this past year fled to other States so as to deny the Republicans a quorum in the respective legislatures as they attempted to deal with some of the issues which gave rise to the Tea Party.

Read it and weep.
Or laugh. Up to you. ;)
Both, and not at all surprizing to me.
The world is full of people who insist upon Magickal Thinking ... the American Electorate is full of such, and the American political class panders to, and has come to fully reflect, the Magickal Thinkers.
I fear that there is no rational solution to the Magickal Thinkers other than the inevitable collapse that they are working feverishly to bring about.
After I posted the OP, I decided to Google "flea party" ... and, wouldn't you know it, I didn't come up with the phrase.
