Being tired of mainstream politics of all stripes in and of itself need not be feared (though no indication of ridicule). And such a stance need not suffer from the throes of emotional responses to current events.

With these particular people, however, it just might be the case. This doesn't necessarily apply to all within the Tea Party movement, but it appears there is a certain contingent that is a bit worrisome.

This is the kind of person that hangs on the words of Glenn Beck.
