I see cause for concern, if not alarm. Tea party movement goes to the very heart of the matter - living under limited government and seeing the Constitution as a set of rules, rather than subject to constant de facto changes. The movement is true American political conservatism, so far undiluted by secondary issues. Simple conservatism which any person can understand and relate to is very scary to progressives - hence, the vitriolic hatred. They want to get tea party people into trying to "prove" that they are not Nazis, not racists, not homophobes -- they want them to talk about anything BUT their core issues. Indeed, being able to stay focused on those issues will determine how much impact this movement may have in the future.

The funny part is the Obama team is so wrong...obviously they haven't been 'outside' to see the real world for a good long time. BUT that said, I see the same thing you do. The Government is going to try to provoke the Tea Parties...There is NO guarantee that the people who participate in these peaceful rallys are all just the average person finally exercising their right of free speech. On the same token, the possible "immigration" rallies that are coming to 70 cities in a few days will be presented as "citizens expressing those same rights" FORGETTING of course that many of the people who will be demonstrating are NOT citizens, and have been co-opted by various power groups who want to continue having our borders totally open for any one to come in... I do fear that with "immigration/open border/amnesty" situation, there will be trouble. And still the Federal Government will not, and has not, listened to the American people.
