Who defines "intellectual"? What I deem important to believe doesn't always fit in with what others see as important. I find it important for my coffee to be Folger's 100% Columbian, where you've stated that nothing is better than the Vietnamese coffee you used to get around SF. Does that mean your coffee is better than mine. Are you smarter than me, because you "think" your coffee is better than mine?

Personal beliefs...Many fear it.

I fear that common sense is going to be the loser in the end...

.. and a pretense of democracy coupled with a pretense of free thought are together the biggest enemy of democracy and me.

I was under the impression that the tea party was trying to put the brakes on the out of control Govt in DC. Going back to the ideas that a FREE MAN(WOMAN,PERSON OF LEGAL AGE REGUARDLESS OF WELL YOU KNOW THE REST) could live their own lives as they see fit. (within the confines of the law of course)

AND the other point is that the Federal govt does have limits imposed on it by the constitution.

And if it is not spelled out in the ENumerated powers of the constitution it( the fed) should not be doing or funding it)

First and foremost...

Taxed
Enough

The rest of it comes in second...

Less government is good government

Everybody knows that the Tea Party is composed of greedy women-hating racist bigots.

It has nothing to do with expanding government interference into every aspect of the lives of every American, massive expansion of federal debt that will take generations to pay-off, a globalist political view, a corporatist domestic policy, and contempt for taxpaying Americans everywhere.

That reminds me...I have an appointment this afternoon to beat my wife, and whip my bi-racial nieces and nephew.

It's going to be a busy afternoon...
