From this:

A network of Tea Party activists are circulating what they call the "Tea Party Declaration of Independence," a document meant to define the movement and establish its independence from Republicans.

“We reject the idea that the electoral goals of the Republican party are identical to the goals of the Tea Party Movement,” the document, released Tuesday, reads.

Activist Bob MacGuffie, involved in the drafting process and also known for authoring a memo last year on how to disrupt health-care town hall meetings, said activists, “got tired of being defined from the outside and decided to do some self-definition” themselves.

MacGuffie said the idea for the document came from a number of leaders who attended a summit hosted by conservative group FreedomWorks, which has been heavily involved in the movement but was not officially involved in the drafting. He wouldn’t say specifically who drafted the document, but said there are at least 60 groups nationally behind it.

“They would just end up being targets,” he said of the drafters. “We’ll remain nameless for now.”

If you need a laugh, you can download the document at the link above. However, what's completely unfunny about it is that, like the Contract from America, it does not say a single thing about immigration. The reason why that's an issue of vital importance to the tea parties types is described at the link; by ignoring that issue they're hurting themselves. At the same time, they aren't helping the hundreds of thousands of Americans who would benefit from a tighter labor supply. Instead of being concerned with the fate of the millions of unemployed Americans, the tea party "patriots" make absurd statements like:

We Declare ourselves INDEPENDENT of the Democrat Party and its power drunk junta in Washington DC, which is currently seeking to impose a Socialist agenda on our Republic.

That's one step down from something you'd find written on a napkin in the downtown L.A. public library. By falsely accusing the Democrats of trying to do something they aren't doing, they're helping the Democrats. The partiers are marginalizing themselves and ignoring what the Democrats are actually doing (such as supporting massive immigration in order to obtain power). Statements like that might please their base, but it doesn't serve as a serious opposition to what Obama and the Dems are doing.

And, of course, you've got hilarious posturing, like:

The Tea Party Movement will fight this danger to our Liberty as long as its members have breath in their bodies.

Yeah, right. The Bush administration was in many ways a "danger to [their] Liberty", but it's odd how only a tiny number of them could find their voice during those eight long years. They're sunshine patriots, and they're willing to turn their backs on their fellow citizens.
