Certainly. I apologize for not being a very good writer. OWS spent a considerable amount of energy disparaging anyone who had planned and saved money. Freedom on the Sea is a cruise that starts at less than $200 per night, and include all the food you can eat, 24 hours a day, a beautiful and large, very clean stateroom, and all associated expenses; taxes, fees, tips. There’s a $500 deposit and the balance is charged in August, giving people some time to save up. I myself took an extra job just to save money for the National Review cruise last year, so I know this is doable for some.
For this, I got weird comments from some who were purportedly from the Tea Party ranks, like: You shouldn’t have an event that poor people can’t attend, and you should have this event in a campground, so all the people can be there, and this is only for the rich, how dare you, you’ll get blown up, blah blah blah. some of these folks seemed to be upset that activists might actually have some fun and relaxation on this cruise.
So I’ve made the suggestion that some people who represent themselves as tea partiers have something in common with the OWS- a destructive and counter productive nature that wants to punish those who have more resources for whatever reason. These crazed commenters made it difficult to remain on a friendly facebook page that was trying to support us, and if the conservative movement can’t even support a group of volunteers who are trying to put together a cruise, then we are in very deep trouble.
We need to overcome the temptations of class warfare and bickering between tea party groups, or we are lost. And quite frankly, no one is out there trying to save the conservative movement. It was a tough break in 2012, but we have to buck up and figure out what to do next, and that takes leaders, not the losers who insist on kicking us from behind.
Tea party people may let you know they would like other venues more affordable but they in no way would act at all like OWS rapists and public poopers.
Why you would put OWS in the title and make any mention of them in your article, as I said before, makes no sense at all unless you want to make the tea party look bad.
You need to do some research on the TPM and find out a little about the character of members and then maybe write an article with some knowledge of the movement.
I see you took the opportunity of the reply of my post to try to sell me a cruize, not interested thanks.
"So I’ve made the suggestion that some people who represent themselves as tea partiers have something in common with the OWS- a destructive and counter productive nature that wants to punish those who have more resources for whatever reason.

And here some people on this thread have taken you at your word that you had had bad experiences with tea partiers when you didn't, you were scammed.
