The Tea Party is a concoction by the Koch-coction brothers. It's a "brown shirt" organization funded by corporate businessmen who want to keep the money they have
stolen from the tax-payer. (The Koch Brothers)

It is not a legitimate grass-roots movement although it pretends to be.

Packing heat is a method of intimidation but not different from the union-busting
scabs and goons by company reps in the past.

The Tea Party is a union-busting corporate sponsored organization that portends a
putsch-type takeover in Congress.

It is the extreme wing of the Republican Party.
