    I've been watching the Tea Party since its first protest, and while I understand the need for a soap box, I have yet to see anything real come forward.

    Trust me, I'm pissed too. Have been since Clinton, and then when Bush came along and paved the way for all the bull shit we're seeing today I couldn't keep quiet. Next thing you know we have bail outs, my friends have PTSD, I was laid off, have no insurance, and Palin was actually given air time. Totally PISSED.

    Well sitting around in your house isn't going to fix anything either! At the very least, get out and go to an event and see what they are about and get involved.

    Gee, supporting the events, signing/circulating petitions, talking to candidates for various offices, voting in the local and primary elections, writing/calling representatives, participating in the local 912 Project meetings, eliminating personal debt, etc. So WTF have you been doing besides sitting on your ass whining?

    The primary frustration I hear at the various events is that a national agenda is being pursued that is driving this country into another Weimar Republic, the people are speaking out but the clowns in DC don't seem to listen. While the PTB feign indifference, the amount of effort put into marginalizing the Tea Party movement says otherwise. Many are worried that they have pushed too much, too fast and it will cost them their positions of power.

    It is easy to feel "beat down" by the constant assaults on personal freedom and BS being spoon fed to the masses via the MSM. There is great benefit in attending these gatherings just to know that one is not alone - there are many others just as concerned and wanting to "do something". You meet people, you talk, pass information, organize, learn who's who. Hmm, doesn't sound so meaningless to me.
