What would a Tea Party controlled America look like?
If the so called Tea Party ever overtook our government, what would they do to it? What would they do to US? Let your imagination run free: Glenn Beck as a senator? Michelle Bachman heading the department of education? Would they round up all the homosexuals, atheists, and 'put them somewhere'? Would they cut all funding for the poor and forget everything Jesus said about helping the less fortunate among us?
Would Christianity be the only recognized religion? Would evolution cease to be taught in schools? Would people be denied vaccines or medical help? Would we expand our wars the world over?
We laugh at them and dismiss them at our own peril. They ain't no joke.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x1990011If the tea party ruled this country, we would have a lean federal govt that doesn't spend money, just to spend money, people would be allowed all the freedoms
protected by the Constitution. The worst part for you DUmmies would not be the rich not getting soaked (though that would kill you) it would be you having to put down the bong, take a bath, and go find a job.

16. Most of these right-wing a$$hats
Have no idea what the "Articles of Confederation" are. If you asked 100 Teabaggers what the Articles of Confederation are, 87 of them would respond that it was memorabilia from the Civil War.
Amazingly, these idiots who "claim" to love the Constitution sooooo much, worship a failed document that our Constitution replaced.
How bad was it under the Articles of Confederation? Well, here's one take from the "pinko-commie-big gubmint" guy, George Washington.
George Washington had been one of the very first proponents of a strong federal government. The army had nearly disbanded on several occasions during the winters of the war because of the weaknesses of the Continental Congress. ... The delegates could not draft soldiers and had to send requests for regular troops and militia to the states. Congress had the right to order the production and purchase of provisions for the soldiers, but could not force anyone to supply them, and the army nearly starved in several winters of war.
Yeah, that was "good times" under the AOC, huh?
Yet the Constitution set up a weak fed govt, figure that one out DUmmy.

17. Unfair to Archie
The teabags are mean spirited, violent and flat out hateful. Archie was ignorant but had a heart of gold and regularly stood up for other people. No comparison whatsoever IMHO.
Yeah we are so mean, yet it is lefties who called Michelle Malkin a chink, figure that one out.

10. It would be like Nazi's all over again.. Look at what the Bachman's do to teh gays now.
They literally try to change them with a program... Already, "re-education" type of program.. Think about that implemented thru out the USA. I'm quite sure those who didn't play by their pre-designed rules of what an "American" was, would be sent off to some sort of detention camp for their own good. (I doubt anyone missed Santorum's response to the DADT question or the audiences booing of a uniformed soldier serving his country. (He certainly didn't look like the stereotypical homosexual they think of when they think gay; they are afraid the are going to "catch" it or that the soldier was brainwashed into being gay). AND we already know if people don't have enough money and they get sick, the response is to die. So, someone with a handicap would be pushed off into a camp or probably experimented on like was done back in Nazi times. The only poor people allowed to live amongst them would be their "servant" class. I'm assuming all brown people would def be rounded up and "sent back home", even if they had lived in this country their entire lives or from a small age.
It would be a fascist/ feudal society with an overzealous "Christian" fervor (Christian in only self-described ways-- not the true teachings). It would be the worst place on earth to live. Its why its refreshing to hear someone like Elizabeth Warren speak and draw a crowd back to sanity and places the righteous blame of the economic troubles squarely onto these corporations that are bleeding us dry. People like her scare the PTB because their voices and passions and values are the voices of reason, logic, and compassion. Its what we need more of to rise up out of the grass roots.
The gratuitous NAZI claim.

15. It would be a true Marxist revolutionary's dream !
A recruiting bonanza !
True, all the freeloaders, and people who are too good to do hard work will run towards Marxism, luckily the majority will be too busy being productive and prosperous to participate.
