First, there were townhall meeting were tea-baggers had an agenda and refused to allow or consider people with differing opinions.

Then there were other meetings and rallies where tea-baggers began showing up with guns as if firearms were necessary show of force.

From TPM, Josh writes ...

Darren Huff on the witness stand in his trial for attempting armed citizens arrest of local judges and court officers in Tennessee over President Obama’s birth certificate.

Try to mount an armed takeover of the local courthouse because President Obama is an impostor president and suddenly everyone’s up in arms.

If there ever was a clear intent to change the government by force, I believe the tea-baggers fit the MO. They refuse to accept others might have a differing opinion than their own and have every right to be seen and heard as guarentteed by the very Constitution they hold so dearly.

I have been of the opinion the GOP has latched itself to this tea-bagger/christian movement like a surfer looking for the big wave ... they're in it for the ride. If they do get the big one, they'll be the Big Kahuna that no one can contest until the next big wave occurs. In the meantime, they'll put up as many barriers to cut down the possibility of another one ever occuring again.

In other words, they're aiming for one party rule with a brown shirt public base as their enforcers ...

"... To 'keep the peace' and maintain law and order, the Nazi State Police (better known as the Brown Shirts) roamed the streets beating up those who openly opposed Hitler ..."

I believe we're on the brink of internal political warfare being waged in the public square involving citizens of differing political flavors. It's no different than the religious warfare that had occured in Europe during the time of our revolution and the writings of the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution.

The problem is ... the GOPer's are all for it if it will give them lock-tight control over the governement. Kinda reminds me of what I was taught about how communism worked back in the 60's.
