They won’t denounce their extremism; they won’t admonish their crazy ideology…Why?
The reason is clear; most Republicans harbor the same ideologies only they have never been crazy enough to divulge them in mixed company. Most Republicans basically agree with every far-out, extremist views of what our country should be and the role of government.
When you have as your icon someone like Reagan who said that government was too big, couldn’t do anything right and that government is the problem…that is the foundation of the tea party. The Teabaggers see the function of government as one to enforce morality and to police our bedrooms and our wombs (those of us who have them, others like me, my penis)
It is not surprising then that the Tea Bag Party has taken over the 
GOP…with their blessings for the most part. It goes without saying that there are other underlying currents as well: xenophobia, homophobia, racism and religious fanaticism; the Teabaggers own all of these.
I am going to have to go out on a limb here and trust the American people…that good, kind, amply generous and compassionate people that have for so many years made this nation the number one power in the world and one that most foreigners envy and would like to live in. I seriously doubt there would be many people in other lands who would like to come to America if it is changed like Republicans want or taken over by right-wing, religious fanatics; I am going to place my hopes in the ability to do the right thing by the majority of America come next elections. I am somewhat encouraged when I see the likes of Sharon Angle and Christine O’Donnell defeated, or a Wisconsin grassroots revolt.
