The left-leaning mainstream media and liberal Democratic politicians continue to refer to the Tea Party as extreme, wacko, and out of touch with the American public. Clear evidence indicates exactly the opposite.
Many of us are getting increasingly annoyed when we hear the Tea Party called extreme, right-wing wackos, or other unbecoming names along that vein. Of course, almost everyone I know decidedly left of center deems him- or herself centrist. My knee-jerk liberal neighbor thinks he’s a centrist. I have gone back through every posting on his blog, and they are all as far left on whatever subject he is writing about as one can be.
But then, he also thinks Obama is a centrist, as do large segments of the MSM, Hollywood, and other liberal groups.

I mean, who wanted those high-paying jobs anyway?), subsidizing green energy schemes that cost a fortune and make no economic sense — it goes on and on. I guess that, given their viewpoint, it’s no wonder they think the Tea Party is extreme.
Now, I know it’s pointless to try to convince a liberal that reality isn’t a whipped-cream world where all you have to do is wish and it will come true. However, with the hope that some late arrivals to politics and those “independents” who seem to ride the fence and fall on whatever side has greener grass at the moment are open-minded and willing to listen, I will present some very obvious facts that have been dramatically confused by the various liberal cults that want to paint the Tea Party as extremist…

But Kathy’s experience at Ground Zero this weekend demonstrates, I think, that genuine tolerance and civility is most often shown by those considered radical haters by the media, Hollywood, and the Left in general.
