I find it difficult to respect anyone who feels obliged to use insults in political discussions. There are millions of Tea Party supporters, and to refer to all of them as "simpletons" is patently ridiculous. I know some of them, and I can assure you they are not "simpletons". I can also assure you that your condescending "as if any of them ever read the Constitution" is also ridiculous. As a whole, they are probably better informed about the way government works than the general populace.
You, however, are a perfect example of why politics no longer works well in this country. What makes us great is our diversity, our ability to get along, to compromise. Tea Party members are ordinary Americans, expressing their right (guaranteed by the same Constitution they've "never read", btw) to free speech. I have to wonder who doesn't understand the Constitution when they refer to citizens peacefully expressing free speech as "subversives".
Unsubstantiated accusations are worth diddle. Provide me with any quote from or a video of any Tea Party organization calling for taking up arms against the government.
