someone is sure to take serious offense at you using those terms when referring to Tea Party Patriots
I can stand the heat.
From my perspective, the tea party movement is a reaction to the excesses of liberalism. They are neither patriotic nor noble. They are simply fed up with the erosion of their personal freedoms and I welcome their fever and support their aims.
I wasn’t worried about you and the heat. I mistakenly thought you could use a little more light on avoiding the use of a deliberate insult on these fantastic Americans and their efforts to make our country well again. Oh well...
