    Everybody complains about the already existent one party state. Anti government extremist faction sure is another type of party, but you guys want nothing to do with it because you need the Federal government and all it claims to do for you at great expense.

    Lemur, I dont need a hug, I just started a new job and I'm being sent to Europe for 10 days. I love my life. I just hate the government and want to see it fail. Don't you have a fat, loud neighbor that you just hate and wish would move? Does he ever speak on behalf of the neighborhood? That's how I feel about the Federal government.

    Yes, clearly, I could not possibly get through my day without all of that Federal, State, and County largesse I use. How very perceptive. Hmm, you know, there was another propaganda movement that depicted its opponents as sub-human parasites ...

    Spoken like someone who really, really needs a hug. And maybe a little lie-down.

    You missed my point. You treat the government like a protector rather than a parasite. I get it. I'm not part of the tea party, BTW, I just hate government. I've never gone to a rally, I've never parotted their lines. Dont take what I say as what the tea party thinks. I'm barely an American. I hold a passport and pay taxes because it is better than having my pay docked, but I couldn't care less about this country. I like quite a few things that we are about, guns, equal rights, individual sovereignty, rejection of authority, etc.but I am not your countryman. The patriotism of the teaparty is my least favorite thing about it. The US is just a bloated bureaucratic artifact. The idea is what is important, not the flag or the government. It is the rejection of the lives of others being imposed on you.

    I'm just having fun, blowing off steam. I like to play sides for the underdog, but I don't care what happens.
