I think that's something Jon Stewart said last year...they're confusing "tyranny" with "losing."

What's built into all the bullshit about "taking the country back" is exactly who they're supposed to be taking it back from. If you listen to a rank-and-file Tea Partier, they rave about socialists and communists and Muslims -- sometimes using the terms interchangeably -- but when pressed, it's clear that they can neither define those terms nor produce any evidence that socialism, communism or Islam have "taken over" the country. All the evidence they have is what they hear on Fox News or read in NewsMax...which is all practically science fiction, it's so outlandish.
