Nonetheless, nothing is going to change. The majority of the people in this country want the government involved more. It's why they voted the way they have the last few years. It's why Ron Paul was getting so few votes. It totally sucks if you're someone who doesn't want big government, but unfortunately they are in the minority. There are a lot of things I'd love to see the government keep their noses out of, but I'm probably in the minority on that too. All I can do is vote for the guys I think represent my interests and hope others feel the same.

The Tea Parties began as a completely grassroots movement made up mostly of what people would call "conspiracy theorists," people who understand that our country was hijacked many many years ago, and that the heart of their power is the privately owned Federal Reserve. Things like the FED and the bailouts and globalization were supposed to be at the core of these protests, until, as you pointed out, the mainstream media pretty much took over the whole thing. Fox News is the main culprit, their anchors are going to be at the Tea Parties. They are turning it into another Right/Left thing to keep everyone distracted from the real issues, which are the Federal Reserve and the threatening of our national sovereignty. (see the last G-20 meeting for globalization stepping-stones)
