Words change their meaning with use. The neo-cons should know that better than anyone since they are the ones trying to turn the word 'liberal' into a "nasty term." What else besides a teabagger could you call someone who takes part in the Tea Party Movement. Alice in Wonderland? They certainly aren't the patriots they claim to be.

Protesting the govt is one thing, and hurting private citizens is another. The teabaggers are making a big mistake with this approach.

Better watch that "we", kemosabe. A lot of your fellow travelers have been photographed carrying the most ugly of racist signs, and they have their kids carry them, too.

What's wrong with people voicing their opinions, whether you agree with them or not?

We aren't talking about the "causes" of the revolutionary war and the current state of affairs causing the tea-party movement. We all know about the stamp act, the coercise acts, taxation without representation vs the modern day feelings that the corporations and the media control elections. And the people are being bought out by entitlements, and even worse the politicians votes are being bought out across the country, and the constitution keeps getting "interpreted" in a more and more liberal manner, even as to illegitimize earlier court decisions on the same subject. The perversion of the commerce clause is an outright disgrace.

And while it is true that we are being represented in an overall sense. But when the entire state of Oklahoma can vote against a mandatory healthcare program and we can be overruled by others, the system is proving more and more to no longer work.

I am talking about the TYPES of people that made up our founding fathers. And when you talk about how the tea-party movement is made up of racist white tax-protesters. You aren't exactly acknoledging that our founding fathers were in fact the same.

The founding fathers were almost entirely conservative christians(though Thomas Jefferson was a deist).

There is an essential difference between the rallying cry of America's revolutionaries and the modern day GOP, which is essentially arguing that democracy is only valid so long as it chooses their side to govern.

I'll be pretty upset if they show up at my work place trying smear our reputation and making us lose our customers. I didn't vote for Obama, and won't vote in 2012 either, but these teabaggers are out of line hurting people like this.
thats the way it works in a temporarily free country. go make a living somewhere else if it dont work out for you. i have.and calling us teabaggers does not help you or your co one bit

Of course you are talking about that, because it's not the point.
