I've been looking for a forum like this for a long time.
Hello everyone,
I've only recently found this place and I really enjoy it. It's nice to be somewhere online where the truly demented don't seem to dominate every forum. I'd reached a point where I ignored all the user commentary because it was so vitriolic. I've only been here a few days, and I've already noted there are some of you with whom I am simpatico.
Peace,

THE RISE OF THE TEA PARTY HAS BEEN CATASTROPHIC FOR AMERICA BECAUSE YOU:
Portray all government mismanagement as a cover up conspiracy against the people
Believe that no government is good government
Base your philosophy on no compromising although the success of our republic has been based on this ideal for more than two centuries
Falsely portray that all government programs undercut your liberty
Have equally damaged both the Republican and Democratic party through deceitful propaganda
Perpetuate the lie that the size of government is increasing, even though we have 600K less government employees today than in 2008 (source: U.S. Labor Department)
Preach anarchy by spreading paranoia that our own government is our greatest enemy which perpetuates unwarranted public mistrust in government
Believe that all liberal policies are unconstitutional
Very arrogantly think you represent the founding fathers and understand the constitution more than anyone else
Perpetuate the fallacy that all federal regulations hinder your freedom
Demonize public service, a once proud career for Americans
Concisely says it all
