Call it what it is: a terrorist attack by the Tea Party
A trillion dollars in losses in a single day. Our college savings. Our retirement savings. A lot of the hope for a recovery. Poof.

And all because the lunatic Tea Party refuses to even contemplate compromise.

What do you call a group of ideological zealots who don't care who gets hurt in order to accomplish their goals? I call them terrorists. No, they don't fly planes into buildings--not yet, anyway--but otherwise they're every bit as maniacal as al Qaeda.

2. They are not a recognized party.....
...they are just a bunch of fucking redneck pieces of shit determined to destroy this country with their extreme ignorance. I call them the tea babies because they act like a bunch of babies, whing and moaning because they have poop in their diapers.

5. Correction: terrorist attack by Republicans.
The Tea Party is not it's own entity; they're a faction of Republicans backed by corps; given another name to confuse who is really doing this to our country.

6. It is the same kind of mentality that gave us
Oklahoma City. There still needs to be a serious discussion about how harmful and dangerous the far right is in this country.

10. There should be, it should be front and center, but the media for the most part
skirts around it ... It won't get front and center attention until some crap happens again and people get hurt. We are never proactive in this country, just reactive.
