Compared to the Tea Party demonstrations, on any metric you care to measure, like arrests, property damage, assaults on police, blocking traffic, or sheer filth?

These people are mostly idiots, and despite the best media and Democratic efforts to artificially inflate them into some sort of "mass movement," or "revolution," they remain idiots.

These people could not mount an assault on a coffee shop, never mind a nation. The invention of "twinkles" is not going to be included in future books of military tactics.

We are already redistributing wealth to an extent that would have been unbelievable less than 50 years ago. Almost 60 percent of the Federal budget is social spending, and that doesn't count state and local programs.

It is already being redistributed by force. Try not paying up and see what happens.
