I despised the Berrigan brothers, and all the rest of the left-wing protesters.

Nevertheless, I believe the author has a point. The various Tea Parties, including the one I attended, can be characterized as saying "we're mad as hell, and we're not going to take it any more."

Okay, well and good, but what are we/you/I going to do so we don't "take it" any more? Are we willing to risk doing things that might result in jail?

From our standpoint, burning tax records instead of draft cards doesn't make any sense. But just how far are we willing to go to put an end to taxes and spending?

It's hard to go on a tax strike when taxes are already withheld from your pay. Are we willing to "go Galt" and not have any taxable income?

If we're not willing to do whatever is needed, then the Tea Parties are simply wasted effort. At best they're a start. But we need to follow up with something effective.

Why would you want to do something as asinine as these lefty slime would do? Getting out the vote is the point; otherwise you’re just wasting tour time.

Well, it's a little self-serving I suppose as I live in New Jersey, but a contribution to Steve Lonegan for governor of New Jersey would be helpful. However much $$ that makes you feel like you have sacrificed enough would be good. :)
