The only reason I can think of is that it keeps them all together in a group where we can watch them.

To me they are no different that the aryan nation, the skin heads, the white power group and every other nut job group in America that uses that same constitutional form of gov't to even exist.

I call'em "cockroaches" since they hide their true agenda and use propaganda (read lies) to forward that hidden agenda. These people are afraid to work from within the system so they form these anti-social groups instead.

Now don't waste you breath disagreeing with me since no one can convince me that deep down these cockroaches aren't cowards at heart. This is one group that I dispise for their use of a key point of American history to cloak they cowardice.
Well, first, my breath isn't being wasted. The only truth to your whole thread is in the part I underlined.
I hardly believe you have a clue about the history of America so you are right there, I won't waste my breath.
I'll point out to you your own ignorance with a group you hate (then call haters);

How on earth do you know about a hidden agenda?

Just face it, you are a hater and you hate the Tea Party because you do not understand them. If you did know/understand history you would see that history is playing again.

Read real history; learn about the “sugar tax”, the “Boston Massacre”, learn why there was a revolution in the first place. The Boston Tea Party came only after several other things happened in the 13 Colonies. The Boston Tea Party was the last straw for the people and that is why this group, here in 2008, has started a group under that name. Our government in 2010 is acting the same way the Kings parliament acted.

But for your blind hatred I guess I have wasted my breath/time but if there is a reader out there that is just a little bit more curious about history and chooses to enlighten themselves by learning more then my time was priceless.

Moderator cut: Please discuss the topic, not each other.

I would put forth a different definition of cowardice. Dependance on the government for every little step of your life is cowardice. A willingness to face the world on your own merit is courageous. The majority of us are not dependant on a lot of what the government gives away, studies, implements, etc. They have their role, and it is an important role, but the government has infringed into every corner of our existence at great cost to us in both finances and liberty. If the federal government will not step back, it is up to us to push them back via any and all legal means.
