I would address this thread to all, not just teabaggers. this has been history in the making. a true revolution of "the people" in peaceful protest against a dictator.
FYI this is not a revolution started by leftists, this was a revolution fueled by communications, instant messages, social networking.
The only aspect in which it was peaceful is that the Egyptian army exercised restraint. Stone throwers, molitov cocktails, taking over of buildings, looting the Cairo museum, not so much.
So, you encourage throwing the rule of law to the wind when things aren't going your way politically? Really? Be very careful of that which you wish.
The Egyptian army was honorable in showing restraint. The Tea Party has been honorable in redressing greivances peacefully. It seems the radical left is the only force foaming at the mouth for lawless, unConstitutional and violent overthrow.
let's see... bombing police stations, the pentagon, the capitol building - not a problem.
Well, that is what actual revolutions do - actually make those in power listen up and change things. BTW, who bombed anything in Egypt? Only those in power by Mubarak perpetrated violence and killed over 300 peaceful protestors.

That is just impotent clowning around. The most it can do is give someone in actual power a chuckle.
BTW, witness how the actual 'tea party revolutionaries' are now just ignored by GOP reps once they've slithered into power in actual decision making. Some 'revolution'! How are those 'huge spending cuts to live within means and no earmarks' coming?

It's not a revolution. You haven't seen that yet, but if the country continues to go down the current path, you might just get to witness one.
not dressing up in costumes, carrying silly signs and wearing tea bags.
Not a revolution, more like the Watts Riots of the 60s without the government getting involved.
