Like any other extremist group, the Tea Party wants to dictate what everyone's view of the world and how they live will be. Extremist groups are by definition anti-democratic (and I don't mean the party), regardless of what they say. They do not want people to form their own opinions, and a public that knows the issues is a serious threat to an extremist group.
