Freedom

It is easy to stand up for what you believe in, It is much harder and by far more nobel to stand up for the rights of those you do not agree with. At least that is my opinion.

Remember during the Iraq invasion, there were a bunch of people protesting the start of the war and then the was various groups protesting the on going war, blackwater and all kinds of stuff.

To which many on the right called the protesters unamerican or unpatriotic. They should protest our president's decisions and all kinds of crap.

Now the roles are reversed, the tea party is getting slammed by those on the left.

Both of these piss me off, freedom means freedom for those that do not agree with you. It is not unAmerican to protest anything any president does. In fact I would counter that it is largely a uniquely American thing. Most countries do not swing from as far right to as far left as we do. France for example moves from the left towards the middle but never really turns conservative.

As much as I disagree with the teaparty movement I support their right to march protest organize and say what ever they want.

Also I think, the more they say the more likely it is they'll end up serving as a catalyst to help obama win in 2012. If the tea party managers to push the GOP right of Bush, the middle will not go. As much as the left and the right extremists want to claim their way is the best, Americans are largely centrists.

That is all I have. I was listening to the news and they were being condesending to the tea party for being the tea party, that i do not like.
