Hoo boy. Paranoid nonsense combined with Manichaean delusions. Carry on, VX. The forces of light and goodness are unstoppable!! Praise be to Beck!!

The Tea Party has no platform and can't agree on much of anything. It's an understandable if misguided reaction to the political shenanigans of both parties. It will be used by the Republicans to the extent they can, and after their fling with independence it will become a part of the Republican machine, like the right to life movement or the gun enthusiasts. It can't last as a separate entity because it doesn't stand for anything. Its heroes are phonies and demagogues like Beck and Palin who are making millions off the suckers who idolize them.
