Are you serious?

The Tea Party could be here to stay. I like it!! It's divisive and that is what we need in the GOP. I'm not being snide, I'm being honest. My minority in being liberal is a dead horse that I've completely annihilated but I've been genuinely floored by the insanity and ignorance in our country, my community, and in my circle of friends, family, and acquaintances. In the race for Alaska's senate seat, the GOP candidate who was considered a shoo-in, Sen. Lisa Murkowski, is trailing Joe Miller who is backed by the Tea Party and Sarah Palin. That is actually frightening! The extreme behavior and platforms that the Tea Party have been pushing is truly alarming. Many of ther residents of the state of Alaska has shown themselves to be willing to take a look at what Sarah Palin's agenda really is. I've watched the disillusionment and anger of some Alaskan residents at being abandoned by her as Governor. Realizing that she QUIT being their governor and taking her dog and pony show for shallow celebrity. Maybe they think back to the embarrassment of her interviews with Couric and Gibson (among others) that established the fact that she was completely unqualified for VP but drove home that her motives are questionable. She QUIT! She used her children to sell herself, she failed her state and she stole money from the GOP and the tax payers. But she's proving to have some determined sycophantic followers and she's doing it for her own selfish purposes. She doesn't represent the needs of the Alaskan people, she doesn't support the Constitution unless it suits her. She certainly violated several of Kathleen Gustafson and Billy Sullivan's rights in Homer Alaska.

The Republican Party has some very good people who seem genuinely ashamed of the behavior of the antics of the extremists. In fact, many have tried to distance themselves from some of the crazier people and their movements. More and more these extreme wingnuts are showing that their problems don't lie in the government as a whole, but with President Obama. Today I read about a newer movement and I wonder WHY doesn't this disturb more people? Starting with the one I read about today, I'm going to list some of these groups and what their agenda is:

Thirteenthers: They seem to be okay with the part of the 13th Amendment that banned slavery, but they want to reintroduce an amendment from 1810 stating that no one holding a public office that is bestowed a title of nobility. This mean that President Obama must step down because he won the Nobel Prize. Apparently unbeknownst  to those of us who HAVEN'T won one, the recipient is crowned King of Norway too! *Sarcasm, in case no one picked up on that* This appears to be mostly Iowa.
Tenthers: This one isn't so bad. I understand the mistrust of "big government" and this is about letting states govern themselves. Problem with that is that I don't want Utah's state leaders making my choices for me. Sheesh, if they had their way, Arizona could shoot Latinos on sight! Texas and Alaska would secede, but that could have it's up sides, as well.
Birthers: Talk about a dead horse!!! President Obama started snowing us at birth. Orly Taitz lost that one!
Teabaggers: I think I've covered that, but they are normally uneducated, racist, people with too much time on their hands.
Glenn Beckites: People who believe the rantings of a man that is a complete boob. This will probably become a religion because self proclaimed prophets are frowned upon by the faith whose members made him a wealthy man.
Foxtards: People who watch and believe a cable news network that isn't bright enough to let them Republican party BUY their favor, they are unfair and unbalanced and they paid the GOP to boot!


I may think of more later. I'm pretty POSITIVE I'll think of more :)
