Tea Party: There They Go Again

Previously on Soap…


Tea Party Nation founder Judson Phillips wants to "retire" the only Muslim member of Congress.

Then he wants only property owners to be able to vote.

Now, he wants to abolish a religion. A religion that our prior President follows.

Quote:
Tea Party Nation founder Judson Phillips has a dream: "No more Methodist Church."

A blog post on his Tea Party Nation page says that on Friday he walked by the United Methodist Building in Washington D.C., which had a sign that said, "Pass the DREAM Act." Phillips wrote: " I have a DREAM. That is, no more United Methodist Church."

Phillips explains that he was formerly a member of the church, but he left because it's "the first Church of Karl Marx," and "little more than the "religious" arm of socialism."

"The Methodist church is pro-illegal immigration," he continues. "They have been in the bag for socialist health care, going as far as sending out emails to their membership "debunking" the myths of Obamacare. Say, where are the liberal complaints on the separation of church and state?"

"In short, if you hate America, you have a great future in the Methodist church," he says.

Phillips has recently argued that it's a "wise idea" to only let property owners vote. He's also defended an email he wrote calling for supporters to help "retire" Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) because "he is the only Muslim member of congress."

To be fair, this is but one of the many groups representing Tea Party views and ideas (though by the looks of it, they are one of the more major ones.)

That is crazy, though, property ownership? Seriously? Wasn't that one of the ways blacks were kept down under Jim Crow laws?

Wile E. Coyote is the tea party and Road Runner is relevance in American politics. Pretty soon they'll get hit with an anvil or blown up with a stick of Acme brand dynamite.

When I saw the Tea Party during the health care town halls, they reminded me more of the Tasmanian Devil.

I like to play the Benny Hill theme in my head when reading this sort of stuff, it makes it even better.

That image needs a little bald-headed man, to pat on the head.

Can you offer any recommendations?

Rush is more obese, so I will accept Karl.
