"Tea Party" Protest Same People Still Bitter About Election

Posted by krisbroughton

I don't have any problem with people protesting the status quo. Actually, the idea of the taxpayer "Tea Parties" is the kind of thing that would initially appeal to me.

The thing I don't like is the kind of people it has attracted. If you look closely at the people standing in the crowds at these "Tea Parties", you will see a common denominator, uniquely American smugness that can only be achieved by angry white people with an incomplete command of two or three catchphrases, the kind who are always suspicious that their birthrights are being stolen right from under their noses.

All of this positive energy appears to be unnerving a miniscule but vocal subset of Americans:

"I am sick and tired of being made to feel guilty because I am white."

Born Again Americans | The Omnipotent Poobah Speaks!

Posted by omnipotentpoobah

I'm proud to be an American. Despite the country's condition, I still think of it as special. I boil with resentment every time someone says that to love America means to never question her.
