How can anyone figure out that guy ? He is a lunatic. To say the least, he is inconsistent in what / who he admires. Atlas Shrugs ran a series of short articles that claim he is a Lefty. After all, Marx is one of his idols. Trouble is, so is Hitler. You can find Libertarian ideas also, but just as easily you can find authoritarian ideas. Sounds to me like -just a wild guess-- Ernie lives in California. My sister also lives in the Peoples Republic. When she was visiting a month ago she said a few choice things about the Tea Party consisting of folks with guns, the idea being that the movement is a militia in everything but name. Wonder where she got that idea. I'm 100% certain that it has nothing at all to do with the fact that all the media she has access to is located in the Bay Area and that her friends in San Francisco are, like the city, 3/4ths Leftist Democrats Anyway, now I know, from direct experience, what was clear enough to me many months ago, that the Tea Party consists of little old ladies with attitude, older gentlemen tired of being pushed around by elitists, and an assortment of various and many others who are best described as the kind of folks who you would meet in a local neighborhood corner cafe almost anywhere in the USA except big cities and university enclaves. Average people but with a fire lit under their chairs who are motivated to do something real in their communities. For their troubles the Left demonizes them as a " threat." One word that comes to mind which is far more accurate, is that they are "populists." OK, to be technical, maybe "neo-Populists" might be more clinically descriptive, we are long past the era of farmers with pitchforks, but that is the tradition. Which is OK with me. No-one can accuse them of apathy. Billy ======================================================== message dated 1/12/2011 7:26:21 P.M.

He didn't need to be incited, he was doing a good enough job of "inciting" all by himself.
