Along the way, the movement has picked up some of the worst excesses of modern American culture: a narcissistic sense of victimization, an egomaniacal belief in one’s own rightness and purity, a willingness to distort the truth so that every conflict becomes a contest of pure good versus pure evil. *

In other words, David, you believe that the Tea Party is forcing Republicans to behave and become exactly as has the far-left, progressive, Republic-destroying Democrats have behaved for the past 20 years, a force Right to counter the force with which you are aligned: malicious and destructive Left.

Exactly as we have needed to do, to counter the massive 'Progressive' shift leftwards. We didn't need to run Bob Dole, you blue-blooded elitist beltway Republicans. We didn't need to run squishy John McCain. Squishy men can't stop the evil that progressives are directing against this Republic.

We haven't found a way to counter the looter - moocher 'Community Organizer' thrust that Obama brings to the table; the attempt to 'buy' votes by making promises to give envious and Constitution-unaware 'Americans' Other People's Money. The basest of attractions to attract the lowest form of voter. As Ben Franklin said, we would survive as a Republic until someone figured out how to vote themselves monies from the Federal Treasury. I doubt he imagined that an entire political party would take that low road; but then, Franklin didn't get to read Marx.

I'd imagine that if the founding fathers knew of the philosophies coming our way, of the Communist - Socialist forces that are at the eating away the heart of the Democrat party, with their Unions and their envy and their race - class warfare machinations that drive the unthinking to vote Democrat, that they would have kept wording in the Constitution giving the vote only to property owners that have to think before they vote for these looter politicians who are draining the treasury.

Thank God for the Tea Party. If they can't correct this far-left drift, then this nation - Republic is doomed.
