American Thinker: Tea Partiers Late to the Party:

A limited constitutional republic did once exist on this continent, and perhaps could exist again -- but only if today's Tea Partiers were willing to use the same means as the original Tea Partiers. It is today difficult to comprehend, but our Founding Fathers represented the elite of their time, leading lights in business (John Hancock), law (John Adams), the military (George Washington), and the arts and sciences (Ben Franklin). Yet these prominent, successful men, who had everything to lose, not only advocated violence in the cause of liberty -- they organized it, directed it, and participated in it."
