you probably would do well to get a grip before that "anger" creates serious violence in this country. think about VOTING to change the government, and not focusing on ONE PERSON or a large, undefined group, such as "liberals" as the beneficiaries of your group anger. Remember, when you name call, you dehumanize and you make "the other" an enemy. That sort of thing opens the door to all kinds of horrific actions.
Name calling seems to be a favorite of the left. I am called a racist all the time because I didn't vote for The Man and don't support his administration. I have been called a birther for wanting him to release any records that can prove his qualification as President. I am called all kinds of names and almost every time for crossing the progressive track with words other than praise.

I forgot to mention that the spending of the previous administration wasn't much more in 8 years than the present one has spent or promised to spend in less than 1 1/2 years. Why can't you people understand that 8 and 1 1/4 just aren't like periods?

Fury is not what I see from them. In fact, the signs at Boston seemed to be much less objectionable than some before. Maybe all those who objected to the meeting were at the anti-Tea Party rally and all the misspelled signs were there this time.

I see no reason for the american people white, black, asian etc to be mad about that right. But after all we know what this is about and its to discredit a movement and anything that doesnt involve liberalism or big government is considered fringe.
Just like someone else I knew who wanted to limit government and end a war they called fringe.
Not only do THEY want to discredit the movement because THEY fear it it seems that some of THEM are starting to tell us that standing up for the Constitution could easily get us in trouble. i was threatened like that today right here at C-D this morning.

It's MISUNDERSTANDING the Constitution that is going to get some people in trouble, like, for example, the "Patriots" who wanted to start a militia in Oklahoma to defend against the fed. govt. Those "partiots" backed off really fast, didn't they?

so your standard is "much less objectionalbe".....LOL The teaparty is now "much less objectionable" which means they're still objectionalbe but not as much as "before."

how bout the teaparty lawsuits in florida? Yeah, that's real impressive. the teaparties are fighting each other. I don't think the "teaparties" are "evil" as you stated. They're seem to be just a confused bunch with a lot of free-floating anger.
And you don't think any of those crazies could be plants from the other side? There are websites dedicated to crashing these parties.
