The tea party is a mix of libertarians, republicans, independents, and even democrats. The problem right now is caused by a Progressive sitting in the white-house right now named Barack Obama. Barack Obama is destroying the economy and jobs right before your eyes.
You are blaming the tea party when they don’t even have hardly any power whatsoever in the House, senate, and the White House. You have been lied to. Blame the people that are actually in charge ruining the country right now in plain site.
You sound like a reasonable person. Maybe you should look into attending a tea party event. There is a lot of people in the tea party that are speaking out against Mitt Romney and even saying "anyone but Mitt Romney".
However why would anyone in their right mind want Barack Obama destroying the economy, destroying job growth, and wasting trillions to pay-off his cronies for another 4 years?
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.
