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.

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

I assume not, but nobody on either side seems to
have even asked that question...
