There are signals everywhere of an immutable change in the very identity of America not just governance. I think the tea party people are afraid that they will lose their piece of the pie to these "different" Americans. The status quo is good for them. Any change is bad for their position. I think they fear losing what they have and this fear is real. So they look for a scapegoat to blame EVERYTHING on and Obama is perfect because he is trying to change the landscape,ignoring the status quo. For that he is a socialist,communist,fascist,anti-Christ and every other name you can think of.For all that Bush and the repubs ignored for 8 years Obama is trying to solve. Do I agree with all of it..no. But there can be no denying that he has an agenda. Some of us agree with it others do not.

There is the typical race baiting stuff the democrats have been applying for years. You should be ashamed of yourself.
You seem to forget President Bush had the first Black Secretary Of State Rice that the democrats called aunt Jemima. The democrats down-played her achievements because she wasn't a democrat. The hypocrisy is astounding. Who put Justice Thomas on the Supreme Court? Another Black that the democrats belittle because he is not a Democrat.
The Republicans also have a black chairman. The only thing the Tea Party are afraid they are going to lose is our country. We are afraid of the democrats tearing up the Constitution in favor of Socialism and wealth distribution. (communism) We are also afraid of Obama disrespecting our allies and praising dictators. WE are sick and tired of Obama apologizing for the greatest nation in history like we did something wrong when we are the most generous country ever.
We are afraid of these sweeping socialistic bills that will take over 20% of the economy disguised as a "health care bill"
I'm also afraid that it will take generations to heal this country of the damage that this congress and president have caused.
I fear for the children that will have to pay for this boongdoggle of a bill, and a countru whose constitution has been shredded.
