    THE DEMORATS THINK THE TEA PARTY MEMBERS ARE TERRORISTS. Tea party wants lower taxes, demorats think that is bad. Tea party wants smaller government demorats think that is bad. The tea party has been vilified by he left wing liberal loon demorats. The tea party principles could save America.

  • I have been a speaker at various TEA party events and you are absolutely right. There was no racism. There was no hatred. There was respect for all who attended, and we pick up after ourselves. BTW the leader of our TEA party is a Black Republican. :Lower taxation and free markets will employ people and decrease demand for government assistance. A good economy (without Obamacare) is the ticket to jobs. The increased costs of health care takes away any possible benefit of deficit spending, Obama is wrong for the economy and he's wrong for America. The same goes for any lawmaker, republican, or democrat who agrees with him.

    The TEA party has been called the Republican wing of the Republican party. The greatest power we have is primary elections. This is where the TEA party has been most effective. We can remove RINO's and provide voters with a clear choice.

    It contrasts those who desire large and service heavy governments. Also idealism can't be "brought" upon us without a third party (government) to enforce it.

    That is where the opposition lies, because The Tea Party's stances counteract their own values.

    Fine, now tell me what excessive taxes are. They don't want to pay any as far as I can tell. We've been in debt since July 4th, 1776, ain't gonna happen. Talk to Republicans on deficit spending, it goes up when they are in office, NO BS! Protect free markets means no regulation, do you really want asbestos in your toothpaste? What they mean is 2nd Amendment right to own nukes. Oath Keepers is hardly civic responsibility. Again, govt grows under Republicans, case in point Bush/Cheney got the patriot act, formed Homeland security, expanded TSA and NSA then started two costly wars. They only believe in White Christians, all others are considered trash. What does local independence mean, the ability to form little nation states free of federal control. Do you realize what a mess interstate trade would be like if left up to each state?

    It doesn't fit into the political establishment agenda within both parties wants to control everything by having government interfere in everyone's daily lives.

    What's wrong is that you can take a sentence that sounds good but the principle falls apart when you find out how the person plans to accomplish the goal and what the long-range consequences of the action would be.

    I could write my goal is to "Get D-i-c-k Cheney off television." That might sound great to lots of people, but if they found out that I meant he should be killed so he couldn't be on TV, that would change things.
