Many of us hit the streets in 2009 in protest because we could readily see this president was leading the nation in the wrong direction: massive spending inevitably leading to increased taxation, financial mismanagement tanking the economy, enormous growth in government to the injury of liberty, exploding debt and deficits putting posterity in the crosshairs, centralization of power and the erosion of our constitutional republic.
Those protests created a Republican majority in the House, the only thread holding the country back from the brink, avoiding complete collapse these last few years. Recently, more conservative Republicans decided to take a stand and fight to the finish, primarily over the criminal excesses and destructive power of ObamaCare, but also for the sake of economic health and national security overall. Like true statesmen akin to the Founders they put everything on the line for the sake of country. In rational circles that’s called patriotism.
From the beginning the group protesting government tyranny, inspiring conservative activism, has been vilified. What became known as the Tea Party was immediately and viciously attacked by Obama Democrats everywhere, especially in media. There is no rational reason for these attacks, other than the perceived threat. Oligarchs everywhere fear and hate liberty lovers. You cannot establish central, domineering authority unless you clean out those pests, by any means.
It should not surprise anyone the disciples of Saul Alinsky routinely take his advice and apply it by isolating opposition figures and attacking them mercilessly with ridicule and condemnation. Anyone familiar with spiritual warfare has been frequented by such tactics. As Alinsky accurately pointed out: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counteract ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage,” especially with the aid of enormous power in media helping hammer home the message.

"Oligarchs everywhere fear and hate liberty lovers."
That is a succinct and accurate summation of the struggle we face.
Every word in that article is spot on. The incessant and unwarranted ridicule heaped on the Tea Party since its inception is anything but rational. I am so ashamed of the people in my Country.
There's no longer an anti-war Left. There's only an anti-Right Left

"They" (the Oligarchs) just want you to shut up and take the theft of your blood bought freedom lying down. That's all.
