No, the tea party tactics are NOT thug/Alinsky tactics. It’s has been, it is, and it should be a BIG differentiator.

The dinosaurs can call it what they wish, doesn't mean it's true. Kind of like Liberal tolerance. But as more people enter the trenches beside the Tea folks, word of mouth and networking let even more know that we are simply Liberty minded men and women, (and probably a few of the confused), that love the country for the principles it was founded upon.

Well, if they prove to continue being statists, they can be replaced. That’s what this is all about, giving American voters an alternative to the lesser of two evils.

You got it. That’s why they will continue to dislocate their shoulders patting themselves on the back. Their smug arrogance can’t fathom how us knuckle dragging trailer dwellers could do anything without their guidance.

I’ll never forget how shocked liberals were when conservatives first began using their tatics against them. Everything from calling liberals stupid while listing their failures to calling them racists while listing their doctrines of anti-white male hatred and discrimination.

Also, protesting and counter protesting! There was a time when only leftists protested which gave the impression that leftists were powerful and popular - with no real opposition.
