Well, so far they sound a more intelligent bunch that the average TEA Party people! Here's hoping they have some kind of Positive impact on American Politics!
Saying they sound more intelligent that the Tea Party folks is damning with faint praise. I suspect that the Coffee Grinders (my made-up term for them) are just a bunch of revved-up over-caffeinated blowhards who can't possibly have the media impact that the more interesting-to-media Tea Partiers enjoy.
No one is going to scream, yell, and froth at the mouth over providing health insurance to million who are going without it. It is way more compelling to watch a bunch of yahoos who are all worked up over Socialized Medicine, Death Panels, forced abortions, and all manner of other things which aren't really being proposed.
Seriously, which group would you rather watch on TV?
You should just change your handle to argumentum ad temperantiam and be done with it.
Then only lawyers and Catholic school graduates would have any idea what my handle means.
Why would I want to do that?
PS: I graduated from a Catholic University

I went to a protestant prep school, so I resent the discrimination.
I had to take Latin, where the thing that stayed with me most of everything I learned was this rhyme.
"Latin is a language, dead as it can be. First it killed the Romans, now its killing me."
And it was.
How did you learn Latin in a course on logic, if I may ask?
Latin is used in logic for the names of logical arguments. I also took discrete mathematics (formal logic) in college which also uses latin for logical arguments and fallacies.
