Furthermore, your post does nothing to dispute the fact that although the very things the tea-baggers are protesting have been occurring for years, the tea-baggers are only protesting now because their party recently lost power (not to mention that their presidential candidate lost to a black man for the first time in history) and they can't help but cry and whine about it.

Sorry to ruin your fantasy.
Ok, so you don't consider yourself a Republican. But for the Republicans participating, they are acting on tribalism first. If a Republican became president in 2012 and did the same things as Obama, fiscally, they wouldn't take to the streets.

You think they will be good to you ? Better google what they say about it .
Just caught that reference? Where do you live, Pappy? I felt this was my nation through all 8 years of the Bush administration, the Reagan admin and so on back to my birth. It's always been my country. No jerk pol can take it away from me.

Just as the din of war protests has subsided with the assension of a Democrat administration.

They would do much worse than that - as evidenced by the 2006 and 2008 elections, when pseudo-conservatives were thrown out of office due to their un-conservative behavior in DC.
