Those who say Tea Party protests won't do any good are reminded that the mere sight of a tea bag is enough to send kleptocrat bureauweenies into paroxysms of terror. For example:

Taxpayer tea parties have rattled some politicians in Washington, as thousands have gathered in cities across America to object to President Obama's spending policies. But no politician was rattled as severely as the staff of Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D-NH) was yesterday.

After opening an envelope containing a teabag and marked "Tea Protest" in the Congresswoman's Manchester office, Shea-Porter's staff called Capitol Police and city police and firefighters.

The authorities instructed Shea-Porter's staff to seek "refuge" as they performed field tests on the substance contained in the tea bag. It turned out to be green tea.

Like all bullies, our greedy socialist rulers are cowards. Be sure to turn out at the nearest Tea Party on April 15. We'll see how many we can send scurrying under their desks.
