Isaac Newton and the Tea Party

I was thinking  about Sir Isaac Newton and the Three Laws of Motion and I started to compare it to the politics of the day and they seem to fit with the Tea Party very nicely.

For every action there is an equal and opposite re-action. (Newton's Third Law of Motion)

The Tea party was formed by this Law of Motion. The actions being: the overspending of both the Bush and Obama Administrations. The forcing of bailouts, TARP, and the Health Care law.The belief of that big government is the only solution to our problems. The opposite reaction is the call for less spending and a smaller government.  The Tea Party Third Law of Motion: For every increase in government there is a equal and opposite decrease in liberty.

Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass (of the object being accelerated) the greater the amount of force needed (to accelerate the object). (Newton's Second Law of Motion)

In my view this symbolizes the current progressive political machine. Both Republicans and Democrats have been shifting what is "normal" in  American politics. This build-up of progressives in the United States is the mass in the equation.  It takes more force (ie; the Tea Party) to move a greater mass (progressive thinking).  The Tea Party Second Law of Motion: Tea Party Patriots should create enough force to shift ideological thought back that of our founders.

An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. This law is often called "the law of inertia".

This refers to the government (the object in the equation). The unbalanced force is the People. This is kind of what I see as checks and balances. The government only "moves" when an unbalanced force propels it to move. So when the unbalanced force is liberal progressives (such as in 2008) the government shifts toward big government. When the unbalanced force is conservatives (as in 2010)  the balance shifts toward smaller government. What ever the direction (left or right) the government is propelled it will continue in that direction until forced in the opposite direction. Tea Party First Law of Motion: Create a force large enough to propel the government to align with the voice of the American people.
