16. Absolutely,
the movement is growing in numbers - but as you said, what's it really about? Has it actually articulated any real agenda besides these nebulous concepts, freedom, honor?

The Koch/Fox agenda, of course, is lower taxes, less regulation - things that will directly impact these people's lives. They like to think it'll just be the sponging minorities who will be affected, will have to go out and get a job etc. But what will happen is this: They'll vote for certain candidates, a certain agenda that will impoverish THEM. And then they will FURTHER blame progressives/liberals/minorities etc. for their own impoverishment, because Koch money/Fox's cable signal will continue to shape their perceptions.
