>No, just a KKK type environment, that's all. Or you may call the Tea Party/NRA/Conservative/Republican block the american Taliban. Both equally accurate..

That's a bit of an oversimplification.
The Tea Party came alive in response the injustices of the TARP bailouts.
Those were and remain legitimate concerns.
First the NRA joined them and then the mainstream conservatives co-opted them with the Obamacare nonsense.
The Tea Party in its pure form had more in common with the Occupy movement than with the repub establishment which benefitted tremendously from TARP.
