I will never understand how this country can fall into such a pathetic state that they haven't the desire to fight for Freedom, but would rather give it up. Sen. Ted Cruz is a true American, there are too few of him and we will all pay the price.
As if Ovomit really gives a damn about the lack of unity in this country. It's exactly what he wants: he's a devout follower of Saul Alinsky and anyone who's read "Rules For Radicals" knows where we are at today is exactly where Alinsky would want America. So, why should anyone really be surprised?
Ideology: coined by Destutt de Tracy in 1796,[1][2] assembling the parts idea (near to the Lockean sense) and -logy. He used it to refer to one aspect of his "science of ideas" (to the study itself, not the subject of the study). He separated three aspects, namely: ideology, general grammar, and logic, considering respectively the subject, the means, and the reason of this science.[3] He argues that among these aspects ideology is the most generic term, because the science of ideas also contains the study of their expression and deduction.
The United States has never HAD a civil war. The Confederate War was a war with a sovereign country.
If the DoI meant anything, if the colonies had the right to separate from England to seek guardians of their own happiness, then so did the member States of the U.S. That they kept slaves did not give the rest of the member States, or worse, the federal government, the authority to force them to remain in the union. If anything, it gave them the excuse to kick the slave States out. But, of course, our federal gov't by that time was already populated by looters and moochers, and the seceding States represented too much wealth and power to let slip away, in spite of the fact that ending the institution of slavery abruptly would almost certainly have disrupted all that nice money flowing into federal coffers.
Well, I'll tell you... I looked at the Indochinese War. I looked at the Korean War. I looked at the Iraq War. Seems like every war we engage in with a sovereign nation we call by that nation's name. So, for me, "Confederate War" is appropriate, IMO.

*I know we call it "the Vietnam War" but the Viet Cong and NVA always referred to it as the Indochinese War.
Since the Tea party is defending the Constitution and the principles this nation was founded on, the Tea Party members are not the rebels. That title would have to be reserved for the opposition.
