Good article. I don't think that anyone is not concerned about the economy and the direction our country is going. The difference being that we don't agree on how to fix it. This country is like a huge ship that needs to change course. It can't change on a dime like a motor boat, but will take time.
ha look at "Uncle" Juan trying to make the tea party look legitimate....everybody knows their proxies of the GOP -militant mcveigh militia's and racist supremecist groups....their claims of worry are laughable....it took them 10 years to finally get all upset? Where were they during the trillion dollar war? or billion dollar underfunded prescription plan?
When unemployment rates for one group of people skyrocket, all is silent.
When unemployment rates for themselves skyrocket, they make a lot of noise.
" White men, in particular, got pushed out of nearly half of all jobs lost during the downturn, and blue-collar white men lost about a third of those disappearing jobs.
That is a key shift in this recession—white men, notably working-class white men, being hit hard and concerned that their needs are not a priority in Washington. A top White House official told me recently that working-class white men are going through today the kind of economic pain, and the social breakdown that comes with it, that black men went through in the recession of the late 1970s and early 1980s. ".
But the different groups' ways of grappling with these problems diverge. If this is supposed to build some sort of bond between the Tea Partiers and normal people, FAIL.
Many of those in tea parties are standing out there for their children and everyone elses child. Because it is them that will be paying and living with our choices and what we are doing to this country.
I seen a man yesterday out there had to be in his 70s do u think hes standing out there for himself or his grandchildren?
They're really just the children of the Southerners who shouted angry epithets when the black kids were integrated into the schools. Afraid of change and feeling marginalized by a society that's moved on, they're the scared dog that bites. They will be swept into ignominity and infamy just as the followers of Jim Crow were the 60s and 70s. I'm sure future generations will wonder how people of our time could have been so hatefully parochial.

Could be there for himself; maybe he's just a typical bitter, angry Tea Party type whose mind has been poisoned by the same propaganda the rest of them ingest. Seventy-year-olds arent cardboard-cutout "grandpas," they can be just as horrid and selfish as anyone else.
