"Has anyone been to any Tea Party gatherings today?"
I went with wife and a couple of neighbors to the one in NYC. 8th avenue was blocked off for several blocks - around 31st-32dn st. Right next to the main US Post Office. Around 2,000-2,500 people showed up. It was great. A couple of ACORN drones were hanging around nearby, but were well cordoned off by the cops. Lou Dobbs was one of the speakers.

with a few exceptions, theres really no "indocrination" in any school.
Crock and drivel....as usual.
Personal experience. My daughter took Social Studies test and brought it home. Multiple choice questions about modern history.
One of the questions read: "Who was leader of Nazi Germany?"
Answers:
A. Saddam Hussein
B. Adolf Hitler
C. Bennitto Mussolini
D. George W. Bush.
Saw it with my own two eyes.

unless her teacher expected her to choose D as the correct response, there was no indoctrination taking place. don't most multiple choice tests include an obviously wrong answer?

let's refresh our memories and remember how the lefty leaders showed dissent eight years ago..:-) The Tea Parties seem like an oasis compared to that.. (H)

if by an oasis you mean a loony bin, then yes, it's just like an oasis.
and if you insist on referring to people as lefties, then you shouldn't be surprised or offended when they start referring to you as a tea bagger or maybe even a repube.

These are just ordinary people... Majority of Odnoklassniki write with horrible grammar mistakes in Russian...

Yesterday I saw a poster Taxed Enuf Already -it was done this way on purpose.

that's because enuf is an informal, perfectly acceptable form of enough.
