The element of racism is at the core of a group of people who fear the election of an African-American president. It may not be overt so that you'd recognize it but "god, guns and gays" are a big part of the movement.

Libertarians are basically befuddled because the decry government unless it is run by corporations (which today it practically is). The Tea Party shoots itself in the foot because rank and file American citizens are going to be screwed by oligarchic plutocrats and a new corporatocracy that wants to privatize everything such as wars, prisons, education and deregulate everything that helps the wealthy and not the poor.

I have no doubt that the militia movement, gun-toting hot heads and the KKK are involved in the Tea Party though many of its members may not be but they haven't a clue about what they really want. They are being lead by the nose with loud-mouthed pundits such as Palin, Armey and behind the scenes by the Koch Brothers.

"Second Amendment Remedies" is no way to run a government. There are "terrorists"
in the Tea Party.
