On the Stupid - Crazy - Lazy triad, the tea party is the Stupid, and the Christopaths and Birchers are the Crazy. The difference is that the Stupid have purged memory, and just shout angrily at what they are told to shout at. The Crazy, however, have memory and vision. They have long term plans. <br /><br />Now, I agree that this is not a new and fresh political movement. This is the ignorant and angry rabble of a mob, which is as old as Australopithecines. <br /><br />Mike.K.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-22017672222678747842014-03-20T22:14:40.228-05:002014-03-20T22:14:40.228-05:00Horace,

One of the best reasons to vote Democratic is they are at least smart enough to keep the professionals in office and the activists as far the fuck away from it as possible.<br /><br />Never let a true believer have any power at all. Any party that fails to do that, and fails to crush their own fanatics isn't worthy of power.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
