What do you thing of all the new media about the Tea Party?
I keep hearing all this hub bub about conservatives "not being conservative enough."
I think they started out great, but now they're just a pawn to split the republican vote.
They could have convinced democrats to vote out the incumbents, too, if they weren't so radical in their socialist/liberal-bashing. Oh, well. Que-Sherrod-Sherrod. Whatever will be, will be.
Folks, like any faction, group or party, there are degrees in both directions. There is an equal call from the far left that Liberals are not push hard enough. Just look up interviews of Howard Dean after Scott Brown won Massachusetts. Howard’s logic was defined as “Scott Brown won because liberals want to send a message to Obama that his policies are not liberal enough.” Seriously?
Dig deep enough and you will find absolute nut jobs who want to tear down the system completely and start over…I see these on both sides.
Tea Partiers are fed up with not having a viable second choice, as so many spend and tax Republicans disaffected our party during the Bush years. God bless having multiple voices or we would all hail the Queen.

Is it fair to refer to the Tea Party as the American Taliban?I think I saw a bumper sticker that said this. Obviously, this would be a very liberal position, but are there any actual similarities? Is this a statement you would support or oppose?

A recent poll caught my attention because of the detail it offered. While it is just a single poll, it does represent what I see in many other polls. What it shows is those on the Right see the world very differently than the rest of America - Why Is That?(Since only a couple demographics...

I agree with President Obama. When it comes to politicizing random violence, he and his supporters have been far too eager to lay the blame for all that ails the world at the feet of those who think differently than they do. Recognition is the first step toward reconciliation. It's time to...

Many people who call themselves Conservatives, IMO, aren't. Many people who Conservatives call Socialists, aren't. In studying politics, I ran across a couple of lectures which identified what the professor called minimal-state liberals (Libertarians) and active-state liberals (modern...
