Any Tea Bagger who quotes Thomas Paine but has not read Agrarian Justice really needs to sit the hell down and read some real history and stop being a brainwashed stooge of Fox Lies. Paine was a Socialist just as America is today and has been for decades.
Some of the original tea party members are being taken for a ride by big corp interest and the Republican party through the Tea Party Express and Glen Beck's 9/12 deal. Your ideals are being used against you in an effort to put the very same kinds of people back in power that we had under Bush Jr. Check out the piece on Mother Jones and see what is really behind the Tea Party Express, it's not the people.
We conservatives must take back our Republican party from the "moderate/ liberal" members in congress. The sure way to LOSE to democrats is to split our vote with a 3rd party. COnservsatives, if we stayTOGETHER, we have the votes to defeat this assault on our freedom and democracy.
@betzalot Conservative is a synonym for autocrat. Liberal is just a polite way for you people to say nigger lover in public without being a social pariah. Code words don't provide you people with the cover that you hope.
Thomas Paine thought all citizens should recieve 15 pounds sterling upon reaching their 15 birthday and that they should also recieve 10 pounds sterling each & every year after they reached the age of 50. This makes him the most "socialist" of all the founding fathers. Morever, Jefferson wrote of "an earthly paradise, paid for by the contributions of the rich alone while madison spoke of taxing the wealthy & aiding the lower classes towards a "more equitable middle".
When asked "why do they hate us?", that is the reason. From the very beginning of the republic, European autocrats and would-be autocrats have had to contend with people bringing back stories of life being better, healthier, and more free in America
Therefore, the European élites and their newspapers have had, from the very beginning, to belittle, demonize, and/or ridicule any positive aspect of American society, or news emanating therefrom.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but the "partiers" are nuts, and they aren't that smart.
For instance, one of their leaders did stimulus-related lobbying. Yes, that's right: one of the tea party leaders lobbied for a couple companies on the stimulus.
And, one group no longer thinks the federal government is legitimate.
All that and much, much more here:

They don't support the U.S. Constitution and our electoral system, and they should just leave.
RACISTS! The president himself has made sexual slurs about the Tea Party. It's time for working Americans to stand, not knee in front of their government. There should be thorough investigations, and then prosecutions, then imprisonment, in both parties.Hope the Tea Party and libertarians take back the Republican Party and offer some strong candidates for 2010. Its a first and big step, throw out the old moldy Republicans with some new faces along the lines of Bachman and Paul Ryan.
I'm happy I saw this today. This government must return to its roots: to a respect of the law set for th by the consent of the governed. All must respect the law, even and especially those in high places. If it is to survive, it must do this, or surely it will fall. I only pray that there are enough people who realize this to act.

Thank you for reminding us Europeans of the spirit that made America great, and for articulating the beacon of hope for the future.
Merry Christmas!

Re the Hessians:

And the masses gobble it up

Why don't you just start a new party and call it The Tea Party?
"Republican" just has too much baggage.
