If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925 Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession.

Sorry, I'm having trouble imagining an alternative world.

An alternative world where tea partiers weren't funded by people with money who backed republican positions and grossly inflated their influence on politics? Nevermind the crazy ones who only became worried about the country's debt after Obama was elected and not after Bush's repeated tax cuts for the wealthy, his unpaid-for pharma-givaway, his useless and pointless wars for oil, deregulation of the oil industry (among others), his neutering of what remained of the regulatory body that regulates the oil industry, and so many more failures. No, the tea party congragated with mysterious wealthy donors to bus around the country in opposition to an otherwise popular healthcare bill because giving healthcare away as a right to all US citizens is such a heinous crime but none of the other things listed above warrented a response. Reality is a bitch sometimes. There might be legitimate small-government tea-party people out there, but the vast majority of them only came to be because they supported republican positions and they went with FOX's narrative against healthcare.

Modern racists usually preface their remarks with " I have a few black friends BUT......." What follows next is some really racist shit. http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/scar...-tea-party Quote:The Kochs are longtime libertarians who believe in drastically lower personal and corporate taxes, minimal social services for the needy, and much less oversight of industry—especially environmental regulation. These views dovetail with the brothers’ corporate interests. In a study released this spring, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst’s Political Economy Research Institute named Koch Industries one of the top ten air polluters in the United States. And Greenpeace issued a report identifying the company as a “kingpin of climate science denial.” The report showed that, from 2005 to 2008, the Kochs vastly outdid ExxonMobil in giving money to organizations fighting legislation related to climate change, underwriting a huge network of foundations, think tanks, and political front groups. Indeed, the brothers have funded opposition campaigns against so many Obama Administration policies—from health-care reform to the economic-stimulus program—that, in political circles, their ideological network is known as the Kochtopus.
So I guess those dumb enough to join the Tea Party and rally around Koch's agenda, even against their own best interests, could be called "Koch Suckers"
