I loved that post. I hate the fact that so many people go off of what the Tea Party says even though they're a small movement when you have so many other Americans against what the Tea Party stands for. And their name I think is ironic since the original Boston Tea Party was against corporate tax cuts for the East India Company.
And thanks, I'm not sure how I pull it off. I just try and be myself.
