TEA parties

Don't you just love TEA parties, with all this shit going on in the States? I mean really, in the country that is suppose to be the "light on the hill" of freedom and human justice, we got people who are still so dead against universal health care, extension of social benefits and spending, etc. They seem to get a bad image on the news, however, don't you think it's kind of hypocritical that us, as the left wing viewers look at them wish such distain? Part of the luxury of American or North American (that is, Canada too) free is the right to protest; so why should we look down on them for exercising their rights?

TEA (taxed enough already) parties have a long history in America, and I think people should at least have an understanding and knowledge of what they stand for (look it up). As much as I may not agree with them and what they are for or against, I have nothing against them myself, as them have concerns and issues just as much as I do. You know the saying about you shouldn't judge a man until you've been in his shoes? Well, I think many left wing people should consider that as well.
