Tea Party

OKay, I know that all of you have differing opinions about politics and our society but I'd like to take a minute to talk about what happened today in Delaware. Early this evening Christine O'Donnell, a conservative candidate backed by the Tea Party with very little experience, won the Republican primary. This woman has some rather, um, interesting views on what we should and should not do in our personal lives. I'll let you see for yourself




Yeah, she's against masturbation. Not sure how she'd plan to try and enforce any kind of policy about that, but I'm scared to find out

In all fairness she may have changed her views, but this is indicative of a bigger problem. The "Tea Party" began as a push to shove a bunch of vocal, bitter, people into the spotlight to attack the "Liberals", an interesting strategy. Since then it has become a monster made up of radical fringe groups that should have never received any mainstream attention. People are voting emotionally right now, and in their fear they are turning to a group of people who would never be considered during stable times. I don't have much to say really other than, these people terrify me. I'm pretty much the exact opposite of what they think an American is, despite having a family history on this continent that extends before the founding of the colonies, and I'm scared shitless that we may wake up one morning to find that the anti-government people elected out of fear and hatred have destroyed the way of life we know and love.
