Its just entrenched in us to think of the Democratic Party, and the Republican Party, and that odd thing that sits aside - the Tea Party as being the primary players in our political system. And as we look at them and what they have done and are doing today its pretty easy to see that the biggest problems we have today come directly from that renegade segment of the Republicans, the Tea Party.
But there is no political Party called the Tea Party, you can't register to vote as a Tea Party member no matter what you call yourself out there on the stump. No, they are Republicans. Or are they? In the last few days I've heard all manner of names given to political leaders of both side from both sides, and from the press, and on this internet thingee, and even on the Tele-V. One name has stuck with me and I think its a sensible word to use and one that helps us understand what we are really up against.
The problem is that we have anarchists in high places in Government. They may take on the popular brand Tea Party and they may sit on the right side of the isle as happily registered Republicans but in truth they align with no Party. They are set for the destruction of Government. They want no rules, no regulation, no inspection, no social contract, and in fact to disolve any means by with collaborative effort by the common working people might be successful. They believe that no service should be provided unless it generates a profit for those who would be our ungoverned masters. They are no Party at all, in fact they are the antithesis of a Party. They do not bond together to promote a common notion of governance, the come together only to add the strength of numbers to their attack on any governance at all.
These people must be stopped. They must be voted out of office and they should never have a public voice again. They work for no one and against everyone. They simply can not be tolerated, let alone trusted, to sit in our halls of Government.

The enemies of the government are those things that make it work badly, that overreach, that intrude beyond the will of the people.
