If talk radio is in the red-meat district, is The Slimes from the sushi district?

And the ‘double-latte’ district.

Not to worry. Only adds ‘fuel to the fire’. ;-)

The first rebellion against the central government involved whiskey.

Tea parties are a recent phenomenon, spawned in the red-meat districts of right-wing talk radio and cable TV.

Too bad they couldn't mention Santelli and CNBC...

I have found that the people attending patriotic events are definitely above average intelligence. It’s too bad that their issues are not addressed or are glossed over.

Demonize, lie, deceive, ridicule, slander, marginalize, insult, etc. That is all the left ever does. It is enough to make you believe that lucifer is hard at work.

“Mostly, it was about tax cuts.”

Whatever! The few who seem to realize what future taxes will be.

The NYTimes should be thrown into the bay.

The original tea parties were often violent attmpts to enforce a boycott of imports taxed by the British Government. They got the attention of the Brits because they hurt the Government in the pocketbook.

We can send all the tea in China to Congress, the Whitehouse, the IRS, whatever, and they won’t care until it becomes a symbol of something more serious: the withholding of revenues from the government to protest their wasting and misuse of taxpayers money.

They don't take this seriously.

Just like the socialites from Washington, D.C. who packed picnics and went out in carriages to Manassas to see the silly rebels at the Battle of Bull Run I.

They were almost killed some of them, scattered in a panic back to the city when the fighting became fierce.
