Coming Together is a Two Way Street
I am laughing my proverbial arse off. After spending a fair amount of time on left, or perhaps they would prefer the tag progressive leaning blogs, reading the constant belittling, name calling, insulting and often vulgar characterizations of almost anything they disagree with, which of course is everything conservative , I am not surprised to learn of a Anti Tea Party movement.
