What the author forgets is that the tea parties aren’t actually a national political party. Tea Partying is a “theme”, not an organization, and all it does is tie a common thread between thousands of *local* events that tried to revive the spirit of 1773 and move our political conversation. Local as the tea parties are, you can’t just wave your hand and say “We’ll leave issue X to the states.” Tea parties occur in states, and they address local issues. There are a lot of moral themes being struck in these rallies, and well they should.
