Americans who identify with the Tea Party should also come to be known as the "Sons of Liberty".
That was the name of the group/movement that was responsible for the original Boston Tea Party, which was one of the major incidents leading up to the American Revolution.
Myself, as a Cuban American (or hispanic/latino whatever), I mainly just consider myself a Tea Partier because I have an understanding of the perils of communism, and appreciate our American principles of freedom & liberty above anything else.
I also realize that while we do need some government to organize our society and culture,freedom/liberty and government order/control run counter to each other.
The more power we the people give to govt, the less freedom we the people have. More laws, more regulations, and more taxes equals less personal freedom, less entrepreneurial freedom, and less financial freedom.
The American Constitutional principles of freedom and liberty are the primary driving principles of all the Tea Partiers I've ever communicated with, and as far as I'm concerned, we should start referring to ourselves as the "Sons of Liberty".
Maybe we can up our game this upcoming mid term election and outdo our "Shellacking of 2010" with the "American Revolution-esque Conservative Election Win of 2014"?
What do ya say... Sons of Liberty?
