The TEA party and 9/12 movements were all started as a Grassroot effort to take back the Republic. I fell off the waggon when the establishment republicans came in a took it over.
My plan it to Vote and encourage others to vote anti-incumbant and get all new people elected.
No more politicians we need public servants.

All I can say is, don't run for office. You just might get a rude awakening as I feel the average plumber will be able to see through the doublespeak.
Yes, I am one of those that do not want your "progressive" ideas to further ruin my life. If that is limiting your "liberty", then so be it. Like all of the other T.E.A. Party people that vote, I will use my "liberty" to restrict your "liberty" to impose your progressive beliefs on me. Of course, you may retain them, just as Palin may retain hers.
The voters will decide which belief system is "scarier", as fear seems to be the entree served up by the entrenched parties, and by yourself I might add.

“In what specific ways do you see these people as being anti-liberty and anti-freedom? “
liberty |ˈlibərtē|
noun ( pl. -ties)
1 the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life, behavior, or political views :
The Tea Party people want to use oppressive restrictions upon us, think about Palin when she says "this nation needs christian morals".

They are anti-freedom because they want us not to be free to make this country more progressive.

“Do you have a link to a reputable source that explains your comments that they want to ban alcohol? I've not heard anything about that.” Yes Sharron Angle has said this in her campaigns.

Your post is just the same tired left vs. right crap that fills people's minds with, well, crap. The old duality in politics that doesn't work for anyone but the power brokers, even the ones the progressives claim to be helping are seeing through the lies.
The progressives have created dependency on the government, which in my mind is completely backwards from where we should be. Gradually the poor will realize they are getting nothing but poorer. They have been sold a lie. Both parties are pillaging the wealth of our nation, while we bicker.
Left VERSUS right, the key word of course is versus. How about the people VERSUS the corrupt criminals?
You can stay in your left vs. right paradigm and pretend that I am clueless, or your enemy, or both. You can claim that I am a Glenn Beck fan because you are supposed to believe that, not because of anything I have posted. You are playing the game quite well.
Rather than play games, I am more interested in getting the criminals out of office.

I am not going to pretend that I have a grand solution that will solve the problems of the underclass, or even the middle class. The only people that can do that are politicians and con artists, or is that being redundant?
We, you and I and everyone else that is not born into privilege and groomed to "lead", are victims of the collective wisdom of our fellow man, long before we are victims of the government. If the majority of our fellow men are uneducated, and easily led, then the educated and NOT so easily led become the minority of the GOVERNED, allowing the worst elements in society to rise to the top in politics and oppress us all.
The greatest challenge, and the first (and maybe ONLY) objective for anyone in politics is to win the hearts and minds of the voter. If we can educate the voter, they are less likely to be a victim of con artists.
Whether you are an individualist that merely wants equal opportunity and very limited government, or a collectivist that believes that the wealth of a nation should be divided equally among all by the force of a popular government, an anarchist that believes in the raw will of the ungoverned, or more commonly, a CORPORATIST that will say anything to get elected while being funded by international mega corporations,
you should be HONEST about your intentions when running for office.
Honesty and integrity trumps ideology because we simply have almost NO honesty and integrity at this point. Let's get THAT back first.

Frankly, the absence of any real ideas for the economy and such is bad enough, but now they want to ban alcohol and masturbation? Who wants to live a life like that... They certainly lost my vote
Originally posted by SeesFar
Do you have links to articles and/or vids proving the TEA Party wants to ban alcohol and masturbation?
Or are you just twisting information (again) and spreading that skewed information (again)?
Angle gave to Liberty Watch magazine in February 2010, in which she suggested support for making alcohol consumption illegal
...
Angle suggested pretty clearly that it is unacceptable and wrong for both parents to actually hold jobs simultaneously.

You need to change your name after voting that way and then telling people you did.

That's funny that you posted this comment.
I just posted this link on another thread,

The Protocols of Zion. Pretty much a blueprint for what you are talking about.
