A new pair of socks?
From last summer.
The TP movement is generally older, generally better off, and generally white.
It is out of touch with a much younger, forward looking, darker American citizen.
The TP looks at the dead past while Younger America looks forward to the challenges of the 21st century.
Unfortunately, we have seen far right wackery try to attach itself to the TP movement, only moving over the side into the dumpster of past history.
Then the center is going to have to isolate and destroy the far left and the far right.You don't work with someone that is working to destroy the country ... You work against them
Okay, I have top confess something:
I once went to some Tea Party functions. I really thought I would blend in, but quickly found out that if you challenge their pet doctrines and question them, you become persona non grata.
That's perplexing. How can you recruit people if you're so insecure in what you believe that it cannot withstand scrutiny and serious discussion?
I have to make a few more posts to get specific, but in general, I found the Tea Party types to be racist, but they would not simply admit it and deal with it. Instead, they would try to legitimize the racism in legal language that did them more harm than good. Their actions created extremely bad legal precedents that undermined the entire Constitution that they wrapped themselves up in.

Your opinion may be spot on and then again may be the result of a skewed point of view.
Unless you can quote what "THEY" said, all you are doing is relaying what you are thinking.
Very funny stuff ... We are out of touch with the youth and black America .... We are however in touch with successful Americans and know what needs to be done to make the optimum number Americans to join the 'successful anericans' group .... You can thank us later for returning your freedoms and future.
You are out of touch with the Constitution and its case law, the rule of law, and the fact it is impossible to return to an idealized American past that never existed to begin with.
And in your reactionary zeal to drag American back to the Dark Ages youll succeed only in destroying our individual liberties and the future of this Nation.

That was a point well taken, but I was constrained by not being able to post urls. Okay, that is not the issue. In my experience, the Tea Party would invite a militia group in and once the militia members were participating on the discussion board, the Tea Party would kick the militia organization itself out, siphoning off as many members as they could.
What they were really after was the most radical and racist elements they could find. When I "called" them out on a Tea Party discussion board over a racist sign, the proceeded to treat me like the militia organizations - kicked to the curb in 10 seconds flat.
Yeah, I know the link... unfortunately I had to find it by way of a left promo, but it is what I saw and what we argued over. I demanded to know why the Tea Partiers weren't feed this guy his sign:
"This Sign Is The Brownest Thing On the Entire Block
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S38VioxnBaI]TEA PARTY RACISM: What The Media Won't Show You About Teabagger Racism - YouTube[/ame]
Check it out at 3: 39 seconds into the video (Actually most of the signs are funny and true), but the one was overtly racist and the Tea Party cheered... if they weren't racists, they would have ripped that sign up and invited the redneck to run for his life.
By kicking me out of their little tree house club, that action spoke volumes.

I am not a particularly active member of the TEA Party. Their main point is the one that attracts me, though. The government is peopled with conniving thieves and we as the governed populace need to eject the conniving thieves and take back the country.
This general thought process attracts plenty of people with an ax to grind.
I really don't care about race, gender, sex, religion or anything else you might care to throw up as a diversion. If you want to change or remove your organs in a religious ceremony with a diverse group of all genders, that's dandy. Pay for it yourself and leave me the hell alone.
The government is too costly, especially in view of what they deliver at the expense demanded.
I'm sick of it. I really feel the the government in Washington needs to be dialed back to about the size it was in 1950. There was plenty of power there then and it was dirty enough so Frank Kapra was making movies about it.
There would still be enough corruption to satisfy those who need it to live, but at least it wouldn't cost the rest of so much to support the lying thieves who live to act like kings on our dime.
Bring my government home to me where I can look into the eyes of the lying thieves and vote him out because i can see he's a lying thief up close and personal.

Unfortunately, we have seen far right wackery try to attach itself to the TP movement, only moving over the side into the dumpster of past history.
The GOP has done its best to co-opt the movement, bringing the more reputable elements into the big tent and exclude the bigots, racists, and rednecks.
The TEA Party doesn't want to be in your 'big tent', dumbass. That's kind of why it started... they are sick of you and your ilk 
lol just as much as they are sick of the Dems and their ilk.

That's actually not true.... but you've rarely been one to use truth in abundance.

There are only 10 principles that the TEA Party support... all are about the Government... none are to do with race, religion or any other social issue.
