I would accept that line of thought if it were true, but these people simply hate Obama. This isn't an end result of years of frustration. This is frustration over the election of a black guy with a funny name.
Again, if they were protesting their frustration any time within the last 20 yrs (as you suggest) then I would accept what you're saying. But they didn't. What we have is shyt-heads like Beck screaming about "Communism", "Socialism", while crying about "America slipping away" and then organizing like minded dolts to run around and scream the same thing.
But this goes both ways. Where are the anti-war protesters that were so loud during the Bush admin? Obama has escalated one war and has the same Iraq policy of Bush: finish the job, stick with it, don't withdraw troops.
They were also pretty quiet when Clinton intervened in local issues of foreign countries a few times. You can't support intervening in Bosnia without supporting the war in Iraq.
I haven't heard of any anti-war protesters since the election of Obama. The right protects their own as does the left.

Obama has done exactly what he said he would do, which is go after the terrorists where they were rather than Iraq where they were not. The primary focus of the anti-war crowd was Iraq.
I would not say Obama's plan for Iraq synonymous with W's by any means.
Clinton's actions also didn't result in the deaths of thousands of US troops.
If you don't like a movie or an actor, then don't buy their stuff. Simple.
You get to vote for your elected officials. If you don't like them, you can vote them out (or recall them in some states).
No problem. People make choices like that every day. There's nothing revolutionary about it.
Ah, now there's the true voice of the Tea Party Movement.
I have been voting for local, state, and federal officers since 1956. Can you give me some proof that I will be allowed to do so in 2010 if I don't stop talking against Obama? Other than complete amnesty what other way can they make sure that they will maintain control of the Congress? They won't need to amend the Constitution to stop some of us from voting, just pass a bill that doesn't allow us to do so and we are screwed.

Regardless Obama has the power to end the occupation of Iraq, yet has done nothing. The war in Afghanistan is unwinnable, and Bin Laden and most of Al-Quaeda are more than likely in Pakistan, yet he is escalating that war.

Truthfully the downfall of the tea parties to gain bipartisan respect is the hyperbole. Unfortunately most people cannot have a discussion without it, and this happens on both sides as demonstrated on a small scale by this forum, and this thread in particular.
From what I've seen of them so far they look like they might keel over from that much exertion.
So how many Tax Tea protest have you been to? The ones I went to had all American healthy interested individuals.
