If Teabaggers Start Defying The Law And Shut Down Start Arresting Them

If they resist then they will have to suffer the consequences like everyone else who disobeys the law. You can't just enforce laws against progressive groups or others and leave the teabaggers alone. Opening government by piecemeal and giving them what they want will not work in the long run.

OWS non RW protesters get arrested routinely. They are arresting Moral Monday protesters in NC and Walker protesters in Wisconsin.

Most gun natters are teabaggers who either support secession or rebellion. We have NE Colorado that wants to secede from the state of Colorado and join Wyoming. That part of Colorado is KKK country actually.

they have broken the law. If the law is not enforced people will continue to break it and escalate their violence every step of the way.

There is a wonderful example of what happens when a group of fascist ideological thugs bully their way into power. In the late 1920's early 1930's one such group did exactly that. Bullied their way into power, and the nation from which they took over did nothing to stop them. After they successfully over threw their govement they attempted to take over the world, and the world at first let them.

Today, we have the exact same thing happening here.

They're like mad dogs, and they don't care who they bite.

I wish we had a way to turn them around. Prozac in the drinking water?

You can bet your bottom dollar that the media wouldn't report on them the same way that they report on anti-war or Occupy protesters who get arrested.

The apparent difference in enforcement is striking and alarming. Everyone should be hollering about the discrepancy.

Why no MSM opining and speculating on this??

(things that make you go hmmm)
