Still, at least your country of origin has an overt proto-minarchist tendency. All respect to Mr B-G, but LPUK has little mass and no traction, much as I would wish it otherwise.

As you point out, we don't need a Coffee Party. It is just another group of Obama liberals who either are ignorant of what this "progressive change" will do to Americans, or who believe in the attempt by the administration and the majority in Congress to engineer a socialist state in which the Democratic Party will always hold the majority. The piece in the Washington Post had it right in stating that, as to what they hold to be the middle of American politics, "The Coffee Party believes the middle is consensus. The Tea Party believes the middle is the Constitution."
