The Tea party patriots cannot be bought off with welfare.... they have principles...unlike "progressives"
Jesus Christ.One can either be a strict constitutionalist, or believe as I, that the constitution is a living document. This belief means that changes in society will be accounted for and the constitution will be adjusted to fit. The basic premis of the constitution will always apply, But strict interpretation must not be adhered to. This is not the same country as Sam Adams lived in, or George washington. We have much more interaction with the world and it is people like yourself that are strict constitutionalists that are holding us back from being all that we can be.
Most of the original signers of the constitution were the elites of their time. Does it not seem reasonable that they set the country up to favor elites? Of course they did. It is people like you that want these same rules to apply to modern times. The elites have enough rules on their side. It is time for a few rules to help the people, like universal single payer health care for example.
I don't think the progressives misread anything. It looks like they are systematically trying to discredit the movement by any means necessary! The Tea Party is against everything the progressives stand for. It's only natural they would want to snuff out their movement. They need to be careful though, because people are becoming fed up (no pun intended) with how the system is functioning. The corruption and air of superiority of our elected officials is troubling. The disconnect between our glorious leaders and average folks is something which I believe has our founding fathers doing somersaults in their graves!^^^ Right ... and this is why the Progressives misread the intent of the TEA Party. Its not about taxes ... its about the central government over-stepping it's bounds in ALL areas.
