I am fairly convicted by the statements and rhetoric of the Tea Baggers that one of the agendas is to overthrow the federal government. Above is the Chief "Drip" of the Tea Bagger Movement. I am confident he believes he should be President South Carolina. I don't believe Lindsay Graham has taken the 'idea' of these extremist Republicans that far, but, when one really listens and begins to understand the montra of these people; they would like to abolish many of the Amendments to the USA Constitution. There is sincerely only one way to do that and that is dilute the federal authority as much as possible and empower the States with greater authority than the federal government.
We have seen the movement of meaningless legislation at State level against unions and the like that once approached by the federal government fall under fire and reversal through laws already on the books. These folks abhor the federal authority of the USA. They don't mind having the largest military in the world, over the capacity the USA sincerely needs for protection of its sovereignty, i;e. Iraq and placing priorities on Wall Street commodities that they call "USA Interests."
The Tea Bagger Movement is not a benevolent group of people. They are revisionists of everything that does not please the profit margins of their cronies. I am sincerely surprised the Republicans have allowed themselves to be taken hostage by extremists. No one has backbone any more in the GOP?
President Obama has done all he can or should do. This is a legislative problem that requires responsible people to send a bill for signature to the Executive Branch. A bill that the President will sign.
The Tea Baggers are the tail waging the dog. They are horrible and DeMint is horrible for abiding by their rhetoric as if it is going to help the country. All DeMint is hoping to do is acquire enough power in the 2012 election to turn the corner on a radical agenda. Nothing more and certainly nothing less. They are treasonists in the purest sense of the word. I hope I'm wrong. I sincerely hope I am wrong, but, they aren't even willing to abide by the Bill of Rights as it exists today without seeking to destroy the work of previous legislators. Wow. If the potential is not examined, it will be realized when it is too late !
The President is wasting his time with these people. He needs to prepare for default.
