I just read a Opinion piece that blames the Tea Party folks as the reason the government is failing.

Lets see Czars, Marxists, Communists, closed door corruption, condescending attitudes from our elected leaders, refusal to hear the peoples voice. Uncontrolled spending, deficits through the roof, the Lousiana Purchase, The CornHusker kickback, Nancy Pelosi and her private airline The US Air Force. Wagu beef, Cash for clunkers, Cap and Trade, Union kickbacks.

And you are the reason for being ungovernable, you don't trust government, you believe they lie to you.
Well lets see Transparency, C-Span, unknown non existent congressional districts where millions of jobs have been saved or created.

Take a look at this link if you want to be totally flabbergasted. Do these people think we are totally dumb sheep who need to be led by a anointed Messiah? Apparently so. GEEZE !!

In his closing paragraph, the author, Gregory Rodriguez writes: "It's not a matter of left or right. In my mind the only difference between 1960s leftist radicals and new millennium right-wing refuseniks is the length of their hair. They both have showed a desperate need to work through their issues with old King George."

I beg to differ with you, Greg. The leftist radicals are the folks embracing the tyrannical nanny state, and the "right-wing refuseniks" are the folks who understand the principals on which this nation was founded:

"The utopian schemes of leveling (redistribution of wealth), and a community of goods (central ownership of all the means of production and distribution), are as visionary and impracticable as those which vest all property in the crown. (These ideas) are arbitrary, despotic, and in our government, unconstitutional. - Samuel Adams

Consider the author's audience. Many of them have no clue (nor do they wish to learn) how things in the real world work; they have their view of how things should work, and this article caters to their whims. Good luck with that.
