Recently, John McCain caused an uproar by calling Tea Party people "hobbits". Click here. I just can’t see why he made so many angry. In my view, he made either an unintended or very clever complement to the Tea Party.
Author J. R. R. Tolkien created the hobbit character. In his famous work, The Lord of the Rings, the hero was hobbit Frodo Baggins. He saved Northwest Middle-earth from Sauron, the Dark Lord and titular Lord of the Rings.
Frodo was the consummate good guy. Honest and true, he was as much the "salt of the earth" as Tea Party people are today. His home, the Shire, exemplified today’s Middle America, where many Tea Party people live. (Liberals call this "fly over country")
Washington, DC can be likened to Mordor, home of the evil Lord Sauron (you decide who he is like today) who wanted to control all Northwest Middle-earth by possessing the Ring. (Like power politicians lust for today)
Frodo, the hero hobbit, was able to save Northwest Middle-earth by destroying the Ring in the fire of Mount Doom in Mordor. (Like an election and change today)
It seems that John McCain has illuminated the way to salvation for America – The Tea Party Hobbits.
Will the real Frodo please stand up? Please!!!
