When did the Tea Party go straight?

It was jarring to see printdust's thread on Anything Goes in which he calls for revolution because "things are getting bad." We heard a lot of that a couple years ago, when the Tea Party was in its infancy. All the rallies where people brought guns and politicians talked about "Second Amendment solutions" seem like a distant memory now.

Some reasons, I think, for the relative calm:

(1) Congressional elections occurred and some of the crazier candidates, namely O'Donnell and Angle, were refudiated.
(2) Glenn Beck went off the air on FOX News.
(3) Obama released his long-form birth certificate.
(4) It's tiring to stay that pissed off for a lengthy amount of time.
(5) Three years in, and the most dire predictions of a Muslim extremist shadow presidency with concentration camps for dissenters seem, to put it mildly, overblown.

 

Idiots like printsust would be what's wrong with this country I'd anyone actually took fools likes that seriously.

 

Pasty, paunchy old people tire easily.
