Happy 4th everyone. In the spirit of civil political dissent, americans around the country held tea parties, in some 1600 cities.

Heres a news report on it.

So, given that this movment appears to be more wide spread then just some "Right wing extremists" as Janet napolitano would say, I wanted to see what the GP faithful thought of the movment.

Keep in mind, that all of these rallies have been civil, with no reported violence or crime. Also note, that while they have had people from all sides involed, it is mostly fiscal conservitism that seems to be driving this, as people rally against the taxing, budget spending, and overall growth of the obama administration government.

SO, what your take on this?
