Posted in Political Issues, tagged civility, Progressives, tea party, unions on February 28, 2011 | 1 Comment »
One TEA Party member surrounded by pro-union thugs trying to shut down his rights of free speech… This is typical of progressives.

This is the reason for Obama’s flip-flop. Just today, Obama came out in support of allowing states to opt-out of his health care mandate.
