This is why I get bothered... Powell... "And so, I get a little concerned when demonstrations turn into violence, or when some of the demonstrators demonstrate absolute nihilism and they’re really not interested in anything but destruction and tearing down the system.”" Maybe you missed that. I'm not real cozy about lawlessness. But that's just me.
People do and say things under the auspices of the Tea Party that I disagree with also. That doesn't mean that the entire movement believes that way. I think the worst thing we can do at this point is to continue to do the same stupid stuff over and over again because we as a people have become ossified in our partisan stances.
