We come back to a central image of the Tea party: armed insurrection against a tyrannical government.

They have enough historical cluelessness to overlook the fact that our government is not tyrannical, it was legally and fairly elected. It allows changes and corrections every two to four years though free elections.

That is the one aspect of the “we came unarmed/Second Amehndment remedies” memes that are part and parcel of the TP message, and which truly disturb me.
