I couldn't say it better than justa-hairyape did...you still have your gun, don't you? Thank the Tea Party and the drubbing they delivered in the 2010 elections for slowing the Obammunist agenda.
That said, you and I agree that the Tea Party needs to find its collective spine and come back out of the shadows. Its (our) strength always was that we were loud, motivated, and in the streets.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
