      LOL! It actually has an image of the US Constitution on it!

      How many "tea baggers" actually have any idea what is actually in that document?

      I am sure, then, that if they do, they must have shown the same sort of OUTRAGE over the Patriot Act, torture and illegal wiretapping over the past 8 years ...

      RIGHT???

        I figure two that they think are in there are:
        The right to bear automatic rifles and home made explosives anytime anywhere.
        The right to form mobs to stop the democratic process.

          Let's not forget the right to worship but not emulate our Lord and Risen Savior, Jesus Christ.

      Just for laughs, go over to Fox Nation and check out the blog on the Tea Party Express, and you will see it is a load of whooey. The first stop was in a town of 9,000 people. It appeared that maybe a block full of people showed up.

      The second stop was in Sacramento. According to Griff, 5,000 people showed up. However, they didn't pan the crowd. It looked like from what you could see on camera, maybe a hundred at best.

      Also, you will get a 'history lesson' and see the home of Rolling Thunder.

      Really inspirational stuff.

        I went over there. I left in disgust pretty quickly. One commenter said he was sure that Obama is a secret al Qaida operative.

        This is the level of "opposition" that Fox is supporting. It's beyond disgusting.

      I really find the "Take our country back" slogan disgusting.

        Exactly. It's so racist that the racist teabaggers can't recognize how racist this racist statement really is.

      Corporate propaganda on the march disguised as a grass roots movement. Complete with a quarter million dollar rolling billboard of hypocrisy. A fascistic "Pimp My Ride" with central air conditioning and a potty. I'm sure our founding fathers would be proud. They should call it "The First Refuge... Tour".
