At a town hall meeting in St. Louis last week, President Obama referred disrespectfully to those people who attended the Tax Day Tea Parties last month. What continues to haunt me is the fact that while Obama traveled all over the world to shake hands, bow, pose for photos and apologize to those who have explicitly declared their hatred for America, he refuses to engage in dialogue with those in his own country who love America and wish to defend our freedoms, our beliefs and our way of life.

That's astonishingly hypocritical from someone who campaigned on the message of uniting the country, promising a new nonpartisan tone in Washington.

While the media continues to portray the tea party movement as a fox news organized fake event, people who participated in them know different. The media and the President can continue to delude themselves, but this movement is real. We recognized in two years ago in New Jersey. Normal people need a forum and they are going to get it, whether or not the New York Times or the Philadelphia Inquirer like it or not.
