The Tea Party is not fighting for freedom, they are delusional thinking their country has been taken away from them and erroneously believe it is due to out of control government spending and 'entitlement' programs. At the same time voicing the need for less regulation of industry and less taxes. The fact is that those who get meat of the tax breaks are corporations and multi-millionaires while the people are tossed a bone and spun to think it's steak... steak that liberals are trying to steal from them.
What makes it even worse and less forgivable is these very same activist are working hard against their own best interest. It is sad and pathetic to witness some elderly gentleman or woman screaming about the wastefulness of government spending and socialism while carrying a sign that says 'they' better keep their hands off the old gentleman's social security.
There is a distinct talent that the right shows on presenting it's spin to a country of uninformed, flag waving, patriotic people that gets them riled up. Yes the right can win the war of the words and have done so spectacularly for a couple of years now. But the Tea Party is not fighting for freedom, they are ignorantly fighting for a continuation of the status quo and a deepening of the American plutocracy.

You're not reading what I wrote with an open mind, All thru history, it's been fanatical liberal protesters, protesting the war, protesting the killing of baby seals, owls in the forest, what every they could get their heads around for a cause. Clubs like Green Peace, the Sierra Club, even the Black Panthers.
The very idea of a large protest has always been a liberal affair.
Then comes in the Tea Party, completely NOT liberal, they are conservative, they have a right to protest, they want as a core, less government spending. Yes other groups are trying to get their voice heard in their, I mean they have a lot of power because of pure numbers and area they cover. But they were heard last November and unless they give up
I see them growing, especially after seeing what the GOP and the Democrats just did with the budget with their unwillingness to make hard choices when everyone is talking about process instead of substance. Deficit targets and triggers are process. Spending cuts and tax increases are substance.
What I perceive with our government as being a problem, may be different that you're perception, but you can't argue that the Tea Party is a substantial force in just numbers and resolve, calling them Racist or under the control of the corporate world is just a lame attempt by those that are scared it them. They are doing exactly what this country was formed to do. Voice your concerns about the way our government represents us, I'm sorry if you think thats wrong. I'm here to tell you that we need to have a voice or idiots like Barry will just continue to spend in an unchecked manor, he would have signed any debt ceiling bill as long as it gave enough to run the country till after his reelection bid, he didn't care about anything else, or he would have made it public.
