The Tea Party's bitter seepage

We are witnessing the Tea Party’s bitter seepage. They’ve been redrawing voting districts and running people for office, taking over state and local governments. We’ve watched, aghast as the Koch cronies took seats in Washington. But there, they seem to be just stopping legislation and appointments, gleefully making sure that they don’t allow the President to pass anything so that government stays in gridlock.

On the local level, however, they get things done. The Tea Party has done virtually nothing to stop the Big Banks’ power. (Remember? That’s why they first coalesced during the Bush administration?) Instead, the Right's going after women’s rights and LGBTQ rights, and they’re using the blunt force of religion to do it.

This is not a pro-life movement. Not at all. This is an anti-sex-without-consequence movement.
