As for the question in the OP, I'm a pretty private and reserved guy IRL. I don't go around barking my positions on every street corner. The last political T-shirt I wore was a "Recall Gray Davis" shirt, and I last wore it in NYC in 2004...
Last political shirt I wore was Al Haig for President in 1988. LOLs.
Those who consider themselves to be members of the Tea Party, do you view that label with pride? Do you openly tell people you are a member of the Tea Party?
Yes
Yes (if conversation prompts it)
Here in America I can be all that I want to be. If you don't like it then too bad. There may be better things than being in the "Tea Party" but there are certainly worse things.

Thats funny!
I don't and will not wear political tee shirts, they aren't appropriate to me. I won't wear a shirt that would read, "AGNOSTIC'S RULE" either.
Now I will wear a "KISS", "IRON MAIDEN", "GODSMACK" or "TOOL" shirt all day long! but I'm getting off topic....
The Tea Party says they have "no leaders". Therefore, they have no coherent philosophy.
To those without an agenda the philosphy is obvious. It has been repeated many, many times. Lower the debt, smaller government. Not to hard to remember. How come you cant?

to be sure there are some people, from all parties, who don't want to get involved when they see inappropriate signs. But to say tolerate is a a dishonest statement.
Using kids to get their message out???? LMAO Can the agenda filled ones on the left make anymore absurd statements? The dishonest way the radical ones on the left try to paint the Tea Party are acts of a desperate people. The truth doesn't paint the Tea Party in a bad light so lets make things up about them. The issues can't be discussed because the liberal left would get buried.
Maybe the best thing to do is not take on the Tea Party. Even your cousins, the anti liberty neocons, have stayed out of the Tea Parties way for the most part.

I'm not at my regular computer with all my bookmarks, and I can't cut and paste from this one, but when I get back to my regular comp I will post some pictures of tiny little kids dressed up in colonial costume carrying signs they can't possibly understand.
Then let us start with our bloated military industrial complex the biggest of all. Also end crony capitalism favoring big oil and big pharma so our new economy growth engines of alternative energy and biotech can thrive. If the tea party included this in their platform and didn't form just weeks into Obama's presidency I'd think it was something more than just a cute rebranding of the GOP by FOX

I find fault with the Tea Party because their creators desire to remove all civil rights and regulatory law from this country. I also believe these people are trying to return to a society that never existed. At best the Tea Party policies are short sighted and based on ignorance and propaganda. In the long run they would be a disaster for most Americans, including most Tea Party members, and a give away to the mega millionaires sponsoring the movement. You have to look past the propaganda to see the self serving creators and their manipulation of the ignorant participants.
