Yep, the full crazy is on

snip:
We talked to Tea Party stalwarts last night, and tried to make our best arguments. "Don't you realize the Republicans could lose the House in 2014?" We don't care, they said. "Don't you worry about a catastrophic reaction in the financial markets?" We don't care, they said. "Don't you worry that the Democrats will aggressively play the Social Security card with seniors?" We don't care, they said.

The true movie would be called, "Frankenteabagger Strangles His Creator."

They only think what their mythology tells them to think, and the Koch Brothers write the scripture their mythology is based on.

IE:
Concentrate on the present, with little or no concern for the future. For example, Instead of putting aside funds for the children's education, Jane and Jim live for the moment, spending whatever they earn .

They're right, they don't care as they don't care for their future. Must be sad for them.
