2. P.S. The Koch brothers conceived of the Tea Party twenty years ago.I

It was never "ordinary citizens." That fact is somewhere in this article. http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2010/08/30/100830fa_fact_mayer

Man, if you really believe that "ordinary citizens" started the Tea Party, you really need to do more research if you want your organization to be successful.

And if you don't really believe it, please don't post it and, for heaven's sake, don't try to sell it to students. You will only increase their cynicism beyond belief.
