The Tea Party openly supports socialist policies like Medicare, which is one of the reasons they oppose Obamacare.
Their priority is a plan to slash Medicare costs proposed by House of Representatives Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, which could gain momentum now that a debt-limit deal between President Barack Obama and Congress has made potential Medicare cuts a centerpiece of the deficit debate.
When the Tea Party learned that Obamacare proposes cuts to Medicare, they were furious. They want their socialised medicine and they want you to pay for it! They'd prefer to stay at home drinking Bud while you go out to work for their benefits.
They will suck the nation dry but they don't care because they hate America and everything she stands for.edit on 23/5/13 by Sankari because: typo...

From your source (interesting since you claimed to not go with "corporate" sources you link Reuters....but whatever I suppose...

Do pray tell how that equates to supporting Medicare?
As for Medicare, cuts specified in Obamacare will cause more doctors to drop Medicare patients, as is already happening.
"Obamacare is going to be causing chaos for seniors as well," Ferrara writes. "As National Center for Policy Analysis President John Goodman points out in his health policy blog on March 25, almost half of Obamacare is paid for over the next decade by draining $716 billion out of Medicare.
"'The Medicare Office of the Actuaries has included two graphs in the latest Medicare Trustees report showing what this will mean. These graphs — which have never appeared in the mainstream media or even been referred to by the mainstream media — show Medicare doctors' fees dropping below Medicaid fees in the near future and falling progressively behind Medicaid and private sector payments, indefinitely into the future.'"
As a result, "One out of seven hospitals will leave Medicare in the next seven years, say the actuaries, and beyond that things just get worse and worse. Access to care will become a huge issue as waiting times to see doctors and enter hospitals grows.... From a financial point of view, seniors will be less attractive to doctors than welfare mothers.'"
I love and envy you. I mean that. To be that far removed from reality must be awesome.
In the United States, Medicare is a national social insurance program, administered by the U.S. federal government since 1965, that guarantees access to health insurance for Americans aged 65 and older and younger people with disabilities as well as people with end stage renal disease (Medicare.gov, 2012) and persons with Lou Gehrig’s Disease. As a social insurance program, Medicare spreads the financial risk associated with illness across society to protect everyone, and thus has a somewhat different social role from for-profit private insurers, which manage their risk portfolio by adjusting their pricing according to perceived risk.

The Tea Party is a radical liberal domestic terrorist organisation with a political front.

From a wide range of non-partisan sources. I avoid the corporate disinfo shills like MSNBC, Fox News, Glenn Beck and Alex Jones.

Yes, The title says it all I think. Secretary Janet Napolitano, also known as Big Sis is not Happy with Americans exercising our Right of Free Speech it would appear.
I do believe the protest was peaceful,,,, maybe it was so closely monitored because of Who was protesting and against Whom or What Agency the protest was aimed at.
Agency created to protect against terror attacks now policing free speech
The DHS appears to have finally found a use for all those bullets it’s been buying. At a Tea Party protest outside an IRS building in St. Louis yesterday there were no regular police – only armed Homeland Security guards.
The DHS was supposedly founded to protect against and respond to terrorist attacks, man-made accidents, and natural disasters. It was not created to protect the IRS from peaceful protesters, but in the decade since its inception, Big Sis has morphed into an entity that polices and monitors political free speech as one of its primary functions. Homeland Security has routinely been caught spying on protesters from both ends of the political spectrum via its nationwide network of “threat fusion centers”. Government documents unearthed in April revealed that the DHS, “conducts daily monitoring of peaceful, lawful protests as a matter of policy” and functions as a “secret political police force against people participating in lawful, peaceful free speech activity,” such as ‘Occupy’ demonstrations.
You'll notice most of these peaceful protesters are Caucasian,
In its promotional material for the ‘See Something, Say Something’ snitch program, the DHS has routinely portrayed white, middle class Americans as the most likely terrorists. Mock news reports and security drills run by the DHS have also depicted gun owners and homeschoolers as violent terrorists.
It’s no surprise that the DHS is now deploying its agents to defend the IRS against the ire of the American people given that both federal agencies have gone to extreme lengths to target law-abiding, conservative, or God forbid “anti-government” Americans as domestic extremists and even terrorists.

I think we have a good idea why Big Sis bought all those Rounds (bullets) she see the every day American Citizen as a Threat.
Who Appointed Janet Napolitano,,, you do remember the name of that person don't you?
