Ok, so there are some nice folks in the South. We'll give them ample time to get themselves together to emigrate to the Normal North. Then, we will build a 'separation barrier', as it's called in Israel, exactly like the wall they have between Israel and the West Bank, and exactly like the one them Tea Baggers want along the border with Mexico. Nobody will bother them. They can carry on and do whatever the fuck they please, shoot guns at will, use magic potions for healthcare and thrive on a meth-based economy. President Ted Cruz can even be the paternal, insane dictator of the United States of Tea Party he so desperately wants to be and those Tea Baggers can say god whenever they goddam please and pray all day long...cause they're gonna need it.
The Two State Solution can't come soon enough because, just as the Middle East can explode at any time, so too, can this cultural ticking time bomb between the Tea Baggers and Everyone Else erupt while we are all passively sitting around wringing our hands.
I wrote about the Taliban Tea Party back on April 8, 2011 and here it is again as it still stands:
Tea Party Taliban Imposing Sharia-like Law
With the
imminent shutdown of the government by the Teabaggers - make no mistake,
they are the ones whose intractability is pushing this country to the
brink - they are beginning to look a lot like a cult enacting their own
type of Sharia law by imposing their repressive and regressive moral
code onto all of us 'non-believers'. NO health screenings for women, NO
sex education in school, NO abortion counseling or abortion funding NO
matter how you got pregnant, NO arts funding, "Waste of money!", NO
learning to read, write or 'rithmetic, "Cut education funding. Now!"
It's the uneducated hating to learn anything because it might upset
their vacuous core 'values'. And god forbid anyone else should read a
book and find out that the Philistine Teabaggers are all full of shit.
NO climate change. NO birth certificate. NO government. NONONONONO.
So, the Tea Party is taking a page out of the Al Qaeda handbook. For al-Qaeda, Sharia represents a perfect system for ordering human affairs.
And for the Taliban Tea Party, that is exactly how they want the system
to be: no room for diversity of thought, a strict adherence to their
commandments or punishment by slow asphyxiation of the mind by
depriving one of books, classrooms and learning. They want a country
devoid of creative thinking, going down the slippery slope to next
banning hip hop, all languages but bad English, and just shooting
immigrants on site.
Wikipedia calls the Tea party an American populist party and goes on to describe Populism,
as a political philosophy urging social and political system change
that favors "the people" over "the elites", or favors the common people
over the rich and wealthy business owners. Read that, per the Tea Party,
as deriding anything that can help “the people” like crushing
collective bargaining (I wonder if they know about the Triangle Fire and
other apocalyptic worker tragedies and child labor that would still be
going on today if it weren’t for collective bargaining aka unions.) And
read that as the Tea Party turning the other cheek with regard to
obscene corporations, “the elites” (the Kochs), making out like Jesse
James in Vegas. As usual, they have everything ass-backwards.
Here’s their mission from their website: “A
community committed to standing together, shoulder to shoulder, to
protect our country and the Constitution upon which we were founded!”
Yes! With an exclamation mark 'n all! It’s like somebody in grade two
wrote it. Or the Republican caucus. Meaningless drivel, and yet the
political muscle of their miniscule minions is stupefying.
