like your bitter and gratuitous attack on my sexuality ("princess") and misogynistic crack ("Take a midol") from your earlier post? So you are a self confessed troll now?

Sniff, sniff. Lulz!
You can be completely confident I've spent exactly zero time contemplating your sexuality. If I did, it would likely conclude with me suggesting you do something anatomically impossible. I chose princess because it matches your brittle, entitled demeanor. I suggested Midol because you're so whiny and bitchy, just like a girl suffering from PMS. If you think that's misogynistic, I can live with that. I'm sure it's far easier for you to blame me than to take responsibility for your own obnoxious behavior. As far as "trolling" is concerned, I'd offer once again to explain how derogatory and trolling are two different concepts, but it's apparently more than your limited intellect can digest.
If you're confused about anything else, it would probably be best to take it to PMs. It's getting way off-topic for this thread. Toodles.

A rose by any other name...
"Tea Party" is just a brand name in politics. The ideal of opposition to big gov remains strong.

I should have known that you believe that your own definitions shouldn't apply to yourself, but only to your opponents.

Sure, as does the the ideal of sunshine and lollipops. You'll find very few people on either side of the aisle who are in favor of big government. The question is what "big government" means to different people. Military? Domestic surveillance? Farm subsidies? Corporate welfare? By not favoring cuts in those areas just for starters (or even being in favor of increasing those budgets), conservatives have not done a very good job of convincing the general public that they truly are for limited government.

Yep. "Big government" is what everybody else expects, while "essential government" is what I personally benefit from. This was best exemplified by the Tea Party fellow who wanted (big) government to keep it's hands off his Social Security (or was it Medicare?).

Right now dissent itself is down even more than 8%, which can only be perceived as a good thing.
