Okay, so I'm going to to put you down as supporting one brand of vague rambling populist bullshit, and demonizing another either because you can't genuinely identify vague rambling populist bullshit or because you are just a hack.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I think the Tea Party has a wider base.  There are quite a few more pseudo-fiscal conservatives who vote Republican then there are rabble-rousing class-warfare types.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Same thing though.  Some nebulous elites are the cause of our problems.  I don't know what conspiracy theories the Occupy types have, but they probably have an equivalent of the evil Jewish Financier and death panels rumbling around somewhere.

Well, both are equally worthless, to be sure.  I just have more sympathy for the dupes who think that Reagan-era propaganda is still applicable, compared to the professional malcontent scumbags.

I don't think they are professional.  After all they don't have jobs.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Which is why they're taken up causing trouble and looting as their career.

At least they don't fly planes into the IRS or conspire to shoot up the police.

I think those guys are an even crazier fringe than the Tea Party.

Most are suicidal, but they certainly sympathized with the plane guy.  They went to those rallies with side arms, so they were expecting trouble or attempting to intimate.

Yeah just taking them because they always take them. Or to make a point about carrying. Not because they expect to open up.

I seriously doubt they walk into the bank or a gas station with a handgun on their hips.
