Quote of the Day!
Reply With QuoteDeath for the Tea Party Republicans is a fact that lives in the present.
Ultimately, the sum effect of death's role in the political ideology of the Tea Party Republicans is akin to that of the five stages of grief.
They are stuck in the anger stage of the process: the Tea Party has not yet moved on to the step that is "acceptance."
Tea Party Republicans are brought to a frothing rage and madness by fictions such as Birtherism and a belief that whites are oppressed because a black man is president.
They rage about "class warfare" but look at unions, the working class, and the poor as the causes of America's economic calamity as opposed to the kleptocrats and the rich who have benefited from one of the most maldistributive economies in the Western world.
In their eyes, government is the problem and never the solution.
The State is to be torn down by secession and revolt.
The Tea Party GOP is angry about everything, but they do not know how to transform that energy into productive behavior and good governance.
