A blue state? How stupid do you feel for voting for obama now? At least the educated did not fall for that idiot.

Though, I don’t envy the position you are in. You either voted for the guy because you knew he would destroy the Country, or you have to admit you fell for all of his BS. Either way, you have to admit you screwed up your vote last fall.

“The real tea party participants were standing up to a foreign power.”

Foreign? The population of the BRITISH colonies was largley BRITISH in origin and governed by the BRITISH.

Ever hear of The Right of Englishmen? How about as it related to the colonists, the revolution and our independence?

Get a little clue by reading “Address to the British People” by John Jay

“Be not surprised, therefore, that we, who are descended from the same common ancestors, that we, whose forefathers participated in all the rights, the liberties, and the constitution you so justly boast of, and who have carefully conveyed the same fair inheritance to us, guaranteed by the plighted faith of government and the most solemn compacts with British sovereigns, should refuse to surrender them to men who found their claims on no principles of reason, and who prosecute them with a design that, by having our lives and property in their power, they may with the greater facility enslave you.”

The closest thing this nation has ever had to a foreign despot currently resides in the White House.

I’m not trying to rehash the entire Faisal Gill fiasco other than to say, the GOP at all levels needs to learn from it’s mistakes in these inner-party squabbles if we are to regain strength and prominence at all levels.

I have to say alot of the action taken in 2009 has been very encouraging. It’s not enough to just pick someone and label them “the REAL conservative” in the race. We have learned that we need to recruit conservatives with great talent and ideas so we always have “the RIGHT conservative” in the race.

The real tea party participants were standing up to a foreign power.

These local rednecks had a vote- and lost. . .thus they compare themselves to ‘victims’ of a foreign despot instead of legitimate voters who simply did not like the outcome.

Virginny- I know it’s tough to live in a blue state. . .but stop making the intellectual and historical mistake of comparing yourselves to those without votes or voices in your local gov’t.

And tea bags are gay references- you’re inspiring giggles among the educated as well as groans from those who have some sense of history.

NoVA, please clarify what you ment by “it’s not cool to debase the political coinage.”

Also, with regards to tyranny and the current climate would this not apply:

“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” James Madison, Federalist essay #47.
