The tea parties gave people a chance to let off a little steam and gave Republicans a chance to encourage people to get out and vote in 2010, but the problems America is facing right now have been several years in the making and won't be solved overnight.

Another common sentiment was the idea that the ordinary fellow is getting ignored in all the federal spending. A competing and equally common sentiment was the idea that too much federal spending is going toward the ordinary fellow. The upside down American flag is a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property. The crowd at the tea party was a little loud, but not rowdy or even boisterous. The flag-flyer went overboard with the statement.
