The Tea Party, when it refuses to govern in consensus, acts as an authoritarian political party, antithetical to the Constitution. You are a fool each, Rott and Auto, if you believe that working with the majority is somehow socialistic and wrong. The Tea Party clearly is the antithesis of classical liberalism, and no good American will permit it to claim so.
The Tea Party also is quite willing to use Big Government power in pursuit of its cultural and social inclinations to return America to the early 1960s. Younger America -- darker, better educated, more forward looking -- will not bow to an older, white, regressive Tea Party on these issues.
