The Tea Tantrum Movement

Didn't people say the same about the Stonewall boys? Andrew Sullivan should understand real grass roots movements - and their power.

Sometimes major movements aren't stated in ACORN offices with paid "activist". Real movements are born of a deep feeling of outrage - feelings that "enough is enough" ... The Universe might not be fair, but no longer an excuse for people to not being fair to us.

Righteous indignation.

Tea parties will gel into what they are to become. It was tinder waiting for a spark.

A woman doesn't give up her seat on a bus - and the "movement" to come isn't a twinkle in an eye... yet it's real.

This is the same.

I hope you’re right. But it would have a much better start if the message was clearer.
