Tea Party observations

I haven't seen one sign that protests, or heard from any Teabaggers regarding, the USA's spending as it expands the Military/Industrial/Complex.
Nor have I seen any tax dollar spending angst from them as our prison systems expand beyond any reasonable level.

And as far as protesting big money corporate control of our laws and government? They think "government" oppresses the big boys.

Go figure.

4. A bit of a double standard here, eh?

Why is that governments can always find room in the budget for wars (and bank bail-outs and tax cuts for the rich), but when it comes to health care, everyone panics about the big expense and debt?

6. In all fairness, there are some anti-war libertarians in their ranks

They are outshouted by the idiot right wing fringe who can't stomach the thought of a black man in the WH. But there is an anti-war presence in the tea party movement.
