Let's examine their lunacy a bit further. Excellent and salient points from a Forward Progressives writer. - source included.
I really believe these people have every intention to destroy the United States. It’s the only way they can get what they really want.
But what do they want, you ask? Well, a country based on a Constitution they wished existed, crafted by theology—controlled by the rich.
See, the Constitution as it stands now doesn’t support the kind of nation they want. They want some kind of Constitution based on theocracy. Something that our current Constitution doesn’t support.
Which is clearly stated right from the beginning, where it says Americans have the “freedom of religion,” which also means freedom from religion and freedom to practice any religion. -
But as these people shifted from Democrats, to Dixiecrats, to Republicans and now “tea party Republicans,” they’ve made it clear that there’s one group of people they support, and want in control of this country—wealthy, white, straight, Christian males.
And that’s basically it.
But our Constitution doesn’t set up a nation for that. Our Constitution has:
- Ended slavery
- Given women the right to vote
- Ended segregation
- Given women the right to choose what to do with their own body
- Provided a pathway for immigrants to become American citizens
- Separated church and state
- Ended segregation
- Given us the Civil Rights Act of 1965
- Protected voting rights
- Begun protecting same-sex marriage rights
- Defended “Obamacare”
So while the name of the political party might have changed over time, the backwards ideological beliefs of many of the people in these areas (specifically tea party Republicans) really hasn’t changed much at all. Sure, there’s been some evolution, but not much. After all, in many of these areas, they still don’t even believe in evolution to begin with.
But as they continue to lose battle after battle, tea party Republicans have seemingly embraced the idea that the only way they can build the country they want is by burning this one to the ground.
I fully believe many of them want a full-on revolution. They want an economic collapse so disastrous that it turns millions of Americans on our government and pushes our country into complete and total chaos.
There’s little doubt in my mind that they believe by doing this they can create such a dire environment that they’ll be able to build the government back up to what they really want.
Let’s be honest, the Constitution (in its current configuration) will never let them build the kind of theocracy they want. Sure, they tell themselves that they’re the party for “Constitutional values,” but that’s an absolute joke.
They only support the Constitution the few times it supports their ideological beliefs. In the many instances it opposes their ideology, then suddenly many of them are talking of secession or revolution.
Isn’t it a little bit of a conflict of interest to run on the premise that government can’t do anything right, then seemingly do everything in their power to make sure government—can’t do anything right?
I know I can’t be the only one who sees some kind of deep underlying ulterior motive that’s driving this wave of tea party Republicanism.
Because who really benefits from a weak government? It’s not the American people, trust me. It’s the rich.
....and here's the irony of it all considering most Tea Party loons are piss poor and in need of severe help:
They want us to fail. Because if we do, they’ll get the opportunity to rebuild this nation based upon what they want. A theocracy, masked in a veil of Constitutionalism, controlled by the richest of the rich among us.
