First off, I really dont under stand what exactly your getting at here. This thread may be better suited in the rant section.
However, you talk of unity yet you categorize people, as tea partiers, left, and right.
Calling the lefts cowards and the right extremists. Your post is quite naive quite seemingly that you bought into the propaganda that is spewed daily.
Labels. Labeling people this or that, right, left, tea party, extremist or radicals. All are nothing but propagandist tools to discredit anyone politically affiliated.
Stick to the Constitution and embrace the same attitude and policies of the forefathers and the only label you will bare is that of an American Patriot.
Then at that point, you are either an American Patriot or not. Other labels are not necessary.

why so complicated?
bho has divided this country like no other.
maybe you be better off in college.
Except that this is no rant, and I've actually been receiving quite positive reactions for it.
We are categories of people, there is no avoiding that. We need to acknowledge it and move on because those categories are a loose definition at best that groups us with similar people. But each category is ultimately contained within a broader category. left/right are both Americans and all Americans are humans.
I love how I can be insulted and called naive, accused of buying into propaganda and all without my post being addressed in the slightest.
Except that labels are often self applied. A label is necessary in discourse, you need to label your positions. Now who's being naive?
Now, I'm going to say something that is possibly unpopular. Screw the attitudes of my forefathers. They didn't have a problem with slavery and were quite bigoted towards the Irish and Germans as well as their slaves. They were men, they were flawed. Our Constitution has had 27 major changes (2 of them sort of cancel each other out though) because they weren't perfect. There is frankly need for at least one more amendment to defend people based on their sexual preferences.
So instead of moving into a multifaceted and complex view of things you'd prefer an 'us or them'?
That's too simplistic and far too childish for me.

I am not a member of the tea party so I am unsure what they have done that is hacking people off. It seems like the tea party people are doing exactly what you are suggesting. Am I wrong?

If libs/dems want someone to blame for rise of the so-called tea party movement, they only need to look in the mirror.
When you add the vitriolic attacks for years on Bush and every other conservative to shoving the current socialist agenda down everyone's throat using any slimy, back door means possible, you can expect to see a backlash.
You're seeing it ...

Pay attention (a little better this time).
The tea party movement is all about the reaction from being fed YOUR crap - assuming you believe and support everything that has happened since obama was elected.
No one said you are retarded. Name calling is reserved for use by libs/dems. I prefer the word "misguided". Poll after poll says that people with your beliefs are clearly in the minority. November will prove that to you. Then what will you do?

Let me also point out that IMO most conservatives were also not happy with "big government conservatism" as practiced by Bush and the democrat controlled congress during his 2nd term. IMO the tea party movement repudiates that as well.
Last, how are things in "Mother Russia?

Then our conversation is over.
Your comments and opinions are irrelevant to us here in the U.S., as you are most likely clueless as to what goes on here.
Also understand your feelings about Reagan. No doubt you blame him for finishing off what was left of the soviet union. I know I do!
Last, don't choke on the bones ...

Uh, "your boys" already died in afghanistan - back in the 1980's.
Sorry, if you hadn't been told ...
The Soviet war in Afghanistan was an almost ten-year conflict involving the Soviet Union, supporting the Marxist-Leninist government of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan at their own request against the Mujahideen Resistance when on December 27, 1979, 700 Soviet troops dressed in Afghan uniforms, including KGB and GRU special force officers from the Alpha Group and Zenith Group, occupied major governmental, military and media buildings in Kabul, including their primary target - the Tajbeg Presidential Palace. The mujahideen found other support from a variety of sources including the United States , United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Egypt and other Muslim nations through the context of the Cold War.

We the People have proven over and over in recent history that we are a force beyond the control of these New World order and neo-con empire builders. We stopped their amnesty for illegal aliens cold in it's tracks not once but several times in 2008, and we have held the line on many other issues.
We will now take back our county and country from these power hungry socialist criminals in government, and we will do it without violence using the lawful tools at our disposal as enumerated in the Supreme law of the land, the Constitutions for the United States and the Sovereign State of Montana.
To that end we have started a local grass roots group of activist citizens who meet to discuss these issues then work to spread the word to their neighbors and friends. That action will nullify the main stream media brainwashing and control by identifying the real terrorists in our country and county.
That is right, the government in Washington, District of Criminals, is terrorizing We the People with threats against our freedoms including the threat to take away all our guns, steal our retirement accounts, devalue our currency, end our freedom of speech, and tax us into oblivion. The "federal government" is being backed up by mainstream media, who are also guilty of the fraud being perpetrated by government entities and private corporations like the Federal Reserve. All of these are guilty of plundering We the People under the color of law. They are guilty of the crime of fraud, when they represent their actions as lawful and official.
We intend to bring them to justice by first of all, exposing their crimes to the public, throwing them out of office where applicable, then by prosecuting them for their crimes.
We are FOR good government, for the rule of law, for the administration of justice, and very much against the rule of men, corruption in high places, and the building of a police state in America. We are for freedom, liberty, and the Bill of Rights. We are for the Constitutional Republic form of government given us by our founding fathers. We are against democracies, because they always deteriorate into a mob rule and then an oligarchic rule of the few. ...
