Lemme ask you this. You aren't at all concerned that this posse of marxist anti-americans are going to lock people up at some point? Don't say it wont or cant happen. Woodrow Wilson, that Progressive Fascist, locked up thousands of people. I'm the single bread winner in my family and am not sure I like the idea of losing everything for the satifaction of calling these people out because face it, these tea parties ain't gonna change a DAMNED THING.
What I don't understand about your fears is this; by registering and posting on FR you (and everyone else) has already been put into a gov data base of right wingers. They know, or can easily find, your name, address and anything else they want to know about you. A photograph at a protest is nothing in comparison.
I also disagree that the Tea Parties won't accomplish anything. There are numerous levels on which they will help the conservative cause.
FWIW I do understand your concerns about taking care of your family. I imagine the Son's of Liberty did too. What will you leave your family if this country descends into some Marxist fascism? You clearly believe things are headed that way. How will you avoid that by being silent?
