I like the place just as it's been. As for the Tea Party, they're a recurring theme in American politics. They once called themselves the John Birch Society, although I doubt many current Tea partiers know it.

en.wikipedia.org

"The society was established in Indianapolis, Indiana, on December 9, 1958, by a group of 12 led by Robert Welch, Jr., a retired candy manufacturer from Belmont, Massachusetts. Welch named the new organization after John Birch, an American Baptist missionary and United States military intelligence officer who had been shot by communist forces in China in August 1945, shortly after the conclusion of World War II. Welch claimed that Birch was an unknown but dedicated anti-communist, [8] and the first American casualty of the Cold War.[ citation needed]

Fred Koch, founder of Koch Industries, was one of the founding members."

Their last presidential hope was Barry Goldwater.
