Mike D. is a Democrat. No need to compare him to anything worse.

What a shame that this son of Virginia's Henrico County exhibits such a shocking bit of ignorance, combined with an arrogant elitism, considering that such a Virginian might have studied and been influenced by the ideas of Washington, Jefferson, and Madison as he grew up.

That great intellectual giant and learned political philosopher who authored our Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson, was modest and humble in his assessment of those of less education than he, thereby exhibiting a generous spirit and wisdom.

"State a moral case to a ploughman and a professor. The former will decide it as well, & often better than the latter, because he has not been led astray by artificial rules."- Letter to Peter Carr

On the other hand, Jefferson had this to say about a class of politicians that Dickinson might hold in great esteem:

"If the present Congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise in a body to which the people send one hundred and fifty lawyers, whose trade it is to question everything, yield nothing, and talk by the hour?" - Thomas Jefferson
Today, we have constitutionally-illiterate folks who call themselves "progressives," or sometimes "intellectuals," who have studied little of the history of civilization, few of the great philosophers, and their reading and discussions of "progressive" political ideas only makes them dangerous to the cause of liberty in America and worldwide.

Oh, for a Jefferson, who, at age 33, was able to articulate the philosophical basis for an American Constitution whose protections for individual liberty and limits of government power made America the destination for hundreds of millions of oppressed people from all over the globe, and the literal breadbasket of the world.

Is a rediscovery of its ideas not the very wish list that the Taxed Enough Already movement embraces?

If so, then it is Mr. Dickinson whose ignorance is on display!

It’s definitely shark-jumping season for the Demagogic Party:

> Mike Dickinson, the Virginia Democrat seeking the House seat currently held by Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va., compared the Tea Party to the terror group al-Qaeda on Twitter... “Tea party and Al-Qaeda: both resort to threats of violence and war to solve differences rather than reason and logic,” he added, providing no evidence to back up his offensive and false claim...

Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.

Well, Cantor bears a strong resemblance to B. Arnold.

If the Tea Party was like Al-Qaeda, men like Mike Dickinson would be in love with it, and bowing to it, and kissing it like a Saudi prince.

Keep it up Democrats. Your words might become self-fulfilling prophecies as you continue to try to subject us to your tyrannical rule.
