Can't let Coffee become the face of liberalism

Okay, so I know most people here probably don't care about the political landscape in America, but the TBB is facing a deadly two pronged attack here. On the one hand, you have the "Tea Party" activists who are an antigovernment essentially conservative force who conspicuously only materialized after a democratic president came on scene although we've just had 8 years of a republican president doing many of the same things they complain about now. On the other hand, now we have a liberal counter movement which purports to offer a superior form of activism under the banner of coffee and just generally "not tea" related beverages.

Make no mistake, neither of these forces is a true ally of Tea and Biscuits or the spirit of the Brigade. The cleverly misnamed "Tea Party" celebrates the profligate dumping of tea into a harbor. It is no ally of true tea aficionados. Mosty likely, the majority of its members would never take a sip of tea or never bother with anything other than Lipton (probably of the iced variety). No, they would rather forsake the sacred traditions of tea drinking for the brew of their original founder, the ancient foe of the TBB, the Brewer, aka Samuel Adams. Further, their frequently violent rhetoric and militaristic worldview are inconsonant with the philosophy of the TBB.

So does that make the Coffee party, which espouses more unifying principles, an ally of the TBB? Perish the thought! A group so ready, eager even, to throw our beverage of choice to the wolves (wolves who would spit it out and toss it into the ocean), surely harbors no good will for the TBB. Instead, these two groups are seeking to divide and conquer the TBB. The one group tarnishes the name of tea, while the other tries to elevate coffee by linking it to some of our beloved principles. Make no mistake, this is the work of the Brewer and the CCC!

This is no time to stand by idly. The TBB must reclaim its leadership role in the area of global peace, hospitality, and the fostering of productive dialogue over a pot of tea and a plate of biscuits. Mobilize the Brigade!

Suggestions for the page are highly welcome.

But I like both coffee and tea.

Coffee use is strictly for morning usage, however. Tea is all day and every day.

Hurray! The ranks grow.

I've joined, though I've had 2 coffees today, and no tea.
Off to rectify that

HKK · Post by **HKK** » Sun Feb 28, 2010 9:43 pm

So does this mean we can't have coffee?

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sun Feb 28, 2010 11:05 pm

Nope. Just don't diss tea. That would be

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Sun Feb 28, 2010 11:55 pm

I'm having delightful sencha right now.

Who disses tea?

Final tally yesterday was 2 coffee, 3 tea

That's how you get an invasion of "Masters."

By the way, one of the google ads for this page had teas that blossom with flowers as you brew. It's kind of interesting, but interesting enough to pay like $15 for 6 of them (it says you can steep each 3 times though)? Maybe one time to check it out someday. Not right now though.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sun Mar 21, 2010 12:44 am

We've had those before. The flower opens up as it soaks in the water.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sun Mar 21, 2010 1:24 am

How's the taste?

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Sun Mar 21, 2010 3:02 am

Decent. It's really more to impress than anything else.

Not a big fan of tea, but I am love my coffee. I'm gonna have to go with coffee.

Seems to me that coffee got the final word here. :defeatedtea

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sun Sep 24, 2017 2:45 pm

That's a lie. No one;s even heard of the coffee party now and the tea party is fading into obscurity, now that it's become the white supremacist Donald Trump worship party. Now is the chance for tea to reemerge as the progressive beverage it truly is!

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Sun Sep 24, 2017 3:59 pm

Maybe it's poll time? Personally, I drink both. I'm mostly a social coffee drinker though, whereas I will drink tea whenever.

This was the literal final word I was referring to.

Yeah. These guys have gross drink habits. That's why they only ever wanted to throw tea into the sea of put lipton bags on hats or something.

Just got up. Gonna make some Liberal Juice.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Wed May 23, 2018 1:26 am

Now that the left has pretty much dubbed "liberal" as synonymous with neolib/centrist/quasiRepublicans, I'm okay with coffee being the face of "liberalism."

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Wed May 23, 2018 1:46 am

It's pretty annoying that words don't really mean things anymore. We're supposed to say "Progressive" now, the RDM guesses? Or did we jump to "socialist" to mean "more than slightly liberal"?

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Wed May 23, 2018 2:08 am

It's liberal if you don't like discriminating based on race/gender/sexuality etc. but are completely cool with fucking over 90%+ of all groups by discriminating based on class in favor of the wealthy and corporations. If not that, it's progressive/leftist/socialist.

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Wed May 23, 2018 2:12 am

This is a new distinction? Also, progressive, leftist and socialist all mean the same thing now?

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Wed May 23, 2018 2:38 am

I prefer my coffee strongly left-wing.

Unfortunately covfefe has become the face of conservatism!

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Thu May 24, 2018 12:49 am

Covfefe is a totally real word with a secret meaning that only smart conservative people know, though. Kind of like how goink is totally a real word that only classy New Yorkers know.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sun Jul 22, 2018 2:28 pm

It's "yoink," and it's a totally real word only Simpsons fans know.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Sun Jul 22, 2018 2:48 pm

I like when I occasionally notice that the word “doing” looks like it should be pronounced to rhyme with “boing”.

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Sun Jul 22, 2018 3:05 pm

Zoinks.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Sun Jul 22, 2018 3:06 pm

Zoo-inks

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sun Jul 22, 2018 3:09 pm

A totally real word only Scooby Doo fans know.

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Sun Jul 22, 2018 3:16 pm

Scooby-Doo came up in two separate conversations the RDM had yesterday, and he didn't bring it up either time. It was kind of weird.

This is officially the LAST COFFEE TO BE DRUNK WINS thread now.

I just made myself a cup of Structure Roasters Octavio Herrera, Guatemalan beans, roasted in Montreal. Yum.

I had equator coffee this morning. Roasted in almonte, in thick FordNation!

The RDM is a non-hipster sellout and had six cups of Starbucks Cafe Verona brewed in a $15 Mr. Coffee at his desk today. There isn't a lot of variation to that.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Tue Oct 23, 2018 10:41 pm

Who is Mr. Coffee? A progressive candidate?

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Tue Oct 23, 2018 10:49 pm

Probably. He's also the maker of the best coffee maker ever.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Tue Oct 23, 2018 10:59 pm

The RDM was paid by George Soros to say that.
