It seems the right wing protests yesterday had little effect on changing the discourse in this country. That's a very good thing if I do say so myself. We had an election in which the right wing was tossed out of power totally. It's understandable they hate to see their world crumble but there was no way humanly possible to stay on the path George Bush and the Republicans put us on.
Unlike most Democrats and those on the left-- and even actual Tea Baggers-- I actually see a purpose to the Tea Bag parties. There's nothing wrong with some people in the streets with signs. They have every right. Their course of action for this country, aside from the bailouts, was to continue the Bush policies, freeze spending, larger tax cuts for the rich, cut social programs and privatize Social Security. The result would have been millions more unemployed, a Depression, and the largest reduction in standard of living in American history. Fortunately for all of us, the Tea Baggers lost in November.
The bad part about all of this is that Tea Baggers wanted slightly more than their agenda. They want members of Congress killed and our President shot. It probably all had to go downhill after that.
