The Real Purpose of The Tea Party

I figured out the real purpose of the Tea Party: The Tea Party is the Confederacy's revenge on the Republican Party for winning the Civil War.

"Take that Lincoln! We destroyed your party, and we're going to ruin your precious United States! The Confederacy will rise again!"

The party of the GOP loves mayhem and destruction. They miss the fact that their shitty court appointed leader just invaded Iraq and not about a zillion other countries too. To them, everyone is the enemy and the only way to win is to blow it all up. Repeat forever if anyone survives.

They are politically crazy people sitting on kegs of powder and lighting the match. They don't care or have the mental capacity to understand the huge amount of death, misery and poverty they cause. Doesn't matter if it is Iraq or their backyard. Foxnews tells them we are winning the war. Whatever war that is has no meaning. Just we are winning.

Zombie republican brains agree.

One hundred an fifty years after the American Civil War, the philosophical descendents of the rebellious Confederates are once again attempting to destroy the Union and, from within, the political party that freed the slaves.

I suddenly feel the need to read Generations again.
