This is by far the best thing to ever be posted in any town hall message boreds. Because it usually it just devolves into a bash the libral trolls(who write more intelagent posts than half the other people who tell them to f^^k off). And Obama is a muslim who want to bring down America. And to the people who sometimes do you use racial slurs like muzzie and the such. That does not help anyones couse but it mainly hurts your own by allowing media to call us all a bunch of raccists witch we arnt but some people cant keep their opions to them selves. And I do agree with all of those because Phil managed to keep religion out of it because when you add that to any equation it only detracts from it and does nothing to help.

There was a time in the not-too-distant past – 234 years ago to be precise – when the ideas articulated by the Tea Party movement would have rightly been considered “radical.”

Not just radical in their ideological composition, either, but radical in the more “irrational” sense – in that advancing these ideas was a good way to wind up dead. And that’s exactly what happened to more than 25,000 American Revolutionaries – patriots who gave their lives in order to provide the liberty we enjoy today (and which we now aspire to pass down to future generations).
