Nice cruise line advert, CSIndy.
Is there anything still worth reading here anymore?
Is Tim Leigh 1) mentally chalenged (no offense to the mentally challenged) 2) doing a stand up routine at Loonies?
If you can answer these questions, please proceed to the voting booth.
This would be an apt example of how progressives get drawn into unwittingly supporting Religious extremists... "The Third Way"
No thank you. Focus on the Family is the same as it ever was, never mind the rebranding. See www.rightwingwatch.org - you'll get an earful. Not to mention, Focus supports the Koch brothers' American Legislative Exchange Council.

It's like night and day, isn't it? (Go Occupy!)
As for the libertarian tea party platform, yes please all should have a look at Ron Paul's tea party worldview:
Ron Paul is a libertarian theocrat who is just as nuts as the Christian Reconstructionists he associates with (like Gary North, Mr. "Biblical Capitalism" himself).
Paul opposes a woman's right to choose, doesn't accept the theory of evolution, and says to axe Social Security... aside from the crap he spews above about dismantling the government. Which, incidentally, is exactly the same as the garbage spewed by the Christian Reconstructionist/Dominionist crowd behind Rick Perry and the rest of the GOP 2012 lineup (except Mittens who simply appears to be a pimp for the 1% minus the God-speak).

Ron Paul's brand of tea party is exactly the same as the fundamental Christian right's brand of tea party, only dressed in secular terms for Republican dupes.
See: theocracywatch.org for background on Christian Reconstruction
P.S. The few “End the Fed” sign-wavers at Occupy protests are tea party Ron Paul supporters. Steer clear of them.
Because, you know, God is particularly concerned with money. Zubeck, are you a shill for the dominionist cult? Your stories tend to prop them up at every opportunity, rather than expose them for the Christian nationalist creeps they are.
Legislators featured in the video are alternately (and sometimes simultaneously) members of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a secretive Koch-funded organization founded by Christian right leader Paul Weyrich that is responsible for producing anti-middle class corporatist "model" legislation", the Congressional Tea Party Caucus, and "C-Street" (the one dem, Mike Mcintyre featured in the video is a memebrer of the "The Family - *Jeff Sharlet's book explains).
Meet the Dominionists.
