Very much so. Two incidents tell me this Rush Limbaugh on his website, "GOP Elite Declares War on Tea Party". http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2011/1... Tea Party commercial picturing Karl Rove as nazi.

On issues, I see few or no gaps between the Tea Party types and the establishment. But in terms of politics, there is clearly a gap: the Republican establishment is tired of losing races which could have been won by nominating crazies like Christine O'Donnell and Todd Akin. The Tea Party types are absolutely not interested in stepping aside to let establishment Republicans be nominated.
I don't see any way in the short term to bridge that gap.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
