Joe Stack lights his house on fire and then flies his plane into the IRS Building killing an arbitrary and innocent worker, Vernon Hunter, who was a two-tour Vietnam veteran.
Guess who Tea Partiers think is the "hero"?
Whatever injustices Joe Stack thought there was, and he thought there were a lot, from religion, to tax codes, to George W. Bush, he ended up killing someone who had nothing to do with his personal woes.
This is how I see the Tea Party's current mindset. They want to attack Obama because he represents the government even if previous administrations did the real harm. They think cowards are heroes and only see their opinions through a predisposed, inaccurate, groupthink, purely political, historically and morally selfish vantage.
It's 2010, not pre-1862. Stop looking backwards in time for your power and anachronistic themes. Stop with the unblinking partisan fidelity. America is moving ahead which really scares the shit out of you. Deal with it.
Don't think you are all of a sudden a hero because you dislike government vis a vis Obama and Democrats. Your cowardice does not entitle you to re-write histories to justify your fairweather patriotism.
