Crazy New Tea Party Idea
Welcome to the Tea Party Network. Those Socialists in Washington like Obama and McCain may thing that the Tea Party has no ideas behind them, but that's not true. We in the Tea Party believe that the Founding Fathers were guided by the hand of God, so that everything they did should be emulated as much as possible-- starting with the restoration of Slavery in the United States of America. If slaves were good enough for Washington and Jefferson the are certainly good enough for us today!

"A Modest Proposal"
I must assume the producers of this witty jab at the Teabaggers have read Jonathan Swift's "Modest Proposal" to solve the famine problem in Ireland: kill and eat the children. Swift was not tongue-in-cheek, he was head-in-misanthropy. (The only modern writer who could be compared with him is the late William S. Burroughs, creator of such memorable riffs as "Old Sarge," which turns WW II John Wayne war movies on their heads.)
You've hit on a nasty fact in your suggestion that most of the Teabaggers identify as Christians. What can you do about a religion that has so degenerated into depravity that its adherents praise "Jesus" even as they suck up something called "the Prosperity Gospel." WWJD? Well, instead of throwing money changers out of the temple, he'd be sternly lecturing the evangelicals on the parable of the camel that can crawl through the eye of a needle. The camel is a metaphor for the wealthy; the needle's eye, generosity, compassion, and altruistic motivations. No "God" I'd like to know would allow Sarah Palin or any Teabagger into Paradise. (Palin is not only prosperity gospel but an actual exorcism survivor, and she holds an honorary Doctor of Arts in English from Liberty University.)
Love it!

Yes I have read my Swift and I think you've hit the nail squarely on the head. Thanks for commenting!
