According to Politico, Vice President Biden agreed “with a line of argument made by Rep. Mike Doyle, D-Pa., at a two-hour, closed-door Democratic Caucus meeting” that congressional Tea Party members “acted like terrorists” in the way they stood against attempts to raise taxes and force spending reductions as part of the debt-ceiling deal. Biden denied making the comparison. Given the heated rhetoric behind and in front of the scenes, the use of such a phrase, particularly in light of Biden’s known salty language, has credibility.
Apparently Tea Party critics are constitutional illiterates. The Preamble to the U.S. Constitution begins, “We the people.” Rights come from God, not politicians who think they are God. We grant power to our leaders to serve us. We are not their slaves.
