What exactly are tea-baggers protesting? (an odd thing to name a group of people tea-baggers) It can not be higher taxes..as those breaks are being passed out right now. Are they protesting higher education...from the video it seems so. And where were these folks during the Bush days?

I wonder if any of these folks that want to end taxes are ready to give up the socialist programs like medicare, social security, free education for their kids or maybe the greatest standing army in all of history.
Just as I thought...they protest higher education.

Methinks it's not 2009 but 1933 again. They're protesting that there isn't enough evil being done for their likes. Demons.
Sounds like that one guy just had an awaking where he asked the woman if she was really serious about buring all those nasty evolution books. I guess they'd better start hiring foreigners to handle all the stuff their offsping won't be able to do like make beer and keep the electrical grid running, et al.

That's the thing with taking the dark side. You miss that what is good for others is good for you too. If you know this and still do it, then that is self destructive. That's where it takes you.
The situation is raising things to a pitch where they are being forced to come out of their shadows. Quite frankly, it's comforting. You know who the enemy is and what they're really about. They can't hide being codes and covers like "states rights" and "small government" when in many cases it means precisely the opposite.
And in that, maybe it's working on me as well. (as in announcing my true sentiments)

I am amazed at the news today. Texas sovereignty and tea parties that in my opinion know not what they really stand for. It has crossed my mind that they silently protest the color of our president. Bush did so much more toward the ruination of our constitution and not one tea-party.

My best word of advice is, don't fall for the temptation of becoming like the enemy. Never seek to oppress another. To say "no" to injustice is indeed proper. It is a time of tempting even the good people into abominable behavior. Stay alert.
They have my truest sympathy.
