The Tea Party is too big to fail. [View all]

The John Doe investigation of Scott Walker's misappropriation of state funds has been quietly closed, and a Wisconsin Democrat, working for the Democrats, has had his Twitter privileges revoked (by the Democrats) for saying nasty things about Walker. Yesterday, WI Public Radio's Ideas Network devoted an entire hour to the incivility in our public discourse.

The US public has endured 20 years of AM hate radio which has turned Liberal into a dirty word, and Democrats and Liberals were told to leave the county on a repeated basis. There's no use for us here. But a Democrat TWEETING to followers (i.e. other DEMOCRATS -- don't follow someone on Twitter if what they say pisses you off) is told not to be so harsh.
