The Tea Party makes a gawdawful amount of racket for a bunch of people with the collective I.Q. of a newt. And all too many liberals (and God knows, Democrats) have their heads up where the sun doesn't shine.

As people who are concerned about the direction in which the country is going began making contact with each other (initially through the internet), it has been growing under the radar at a prodigious rate. Gatherings in private homes all over the country. More and more all the time, springing up like mushrooms. These are gatherings of intelligent, thoughtful people. (FAR from "brain dead.")
