This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

Actually, the Tea Party wants the government to actually, you know, do what it is supposed to do. We don’t want the world “fixed”. We want the federal government to do those things that are allowed and authorized by the Constitution. Everything else can be done by private citizens or the states.
As to the term Tea Bagger, your use of it isn’t funny. Then again, if we’re the “teabagger” than….that would make our opponents the “tea baggee”, wouldn’t it?
Ok, then.

It’s not 1789 any more.
The Constitution is a living document, not immutable words engraved in stone.
Because the Constitution has been a living document, a document which also partakes of case law, precedent, and legislation, the United States has managed to move from being the Noble Experiment to being the oldest democratic republic in history.
The time is long gone when someone can pick up stakes, more over the next ridge, establish a homestead, and live a life of cantankerous independence without regard for his neighbors.
Tea partiers seem to think that that time is still with us.
I notice that folks who call themselves members of the tea party swear allegiance to the Constitution as long as it is convenient to their agenda, whatever that may be.
Otherwise, otherwise
(I must say, most sadly, that, based on their own words, I suspect the agenda of many is that a black guy shouldn’t be president, but that’s another issue.)
Attempts to have it both ways reveal the bankruptcy of the theory.
