Tea partiers: Stand firm, come what may

Let’s clear the air about something. I’m sick and tired of the arrogant elitism by so-called conservatives, conservatives of expedience and the misguided who are conservative but who sometimes embrace populace idiocy.

The tea-party movement began as an amalgamation of the like-minded who opposed increasing government intrusion, uncontrolled and unsustainable government spending, increased taxes, the exponential growth of government debt and increased government expansion – the very same things President Reagan opposed as well. The tea-party movement began in the spring of 2009, and what the people involved in said movement accomplished in the November 2010 off-year elections is no less a succes fou, i.e., an extraordinary success, than when our Founding Fathers said no to the Crown of England. Yet despite the tea party’s accomplishments, the GOP and Republican elitists treat those of us who support the movement like the “N” word.

There may be problems within the T Party but the infighting in the GOPe sure isn't helping. I'm sure the demokkkrats are loving the dissension. Thanks Mr. Massie for a nice piece.

We are just supposed to keep quiet, send our money and vote how they tell us. As an illusion of participation, they will let us amuse ourselves believing we matter in the primaries; but they keep that season short-lived, cracking the whip for us to get back in line and do as they tell us.

I say those days have come and gone. We will not return to the plantation, and many of us are prepared to lose to prove that point. Establishment Republicans don’t own us or our votes – we aren’t their slaves.

Amen... amen... Thanks for a great post rkt...

The Tea Party needs to come down firmly and unquestionably, on the side of AMERICAN JOBS.

The GOP has completely bought into the sell-off of America.

The Tea Party needs to be for American jobs. Completely, and immediately.
