[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Betcha if they proposed teaching the creation story instead of evolution the Tea Party would be singing a different tune.

The Tea Party is about taxes and government spending.  It is about smaller government.  It is NOT about religion.[/quote]

A lot of people would LIKE to decide what the tea party is about.  But it's a movement and you don't control it.

[quote]n late June, in Temecula, Calif., members of a local Tea Party group took dogs and picket signs to Friday prayers at a mosque that is seeking to build a new worship center on a vacant lot nearby.

on the mosque near the world trade center site:
[quote]The meeting came one day after Tea Party Express chairman Mark Williams called the project a monument to 9/11 attackers "for the worship of the terrorists' monkey-god."

Statement on theteapartyplatform.com

[quote]Statement on Religious Freedom

At the risk of offending anyone I am going to make the following statement.   The United States of America was founded on Judeo-Christian principles and is indeed a Christian nation.

This statement is not intended to imply that other religions are not welcome to worship freely in this country but when those who worship any non-Christian religion do so with

a)      the intent to attack those of other faiths or
b)      when their intent is to deprive those of other faiths their right to worship as they 
         please or
c)      when they form in communities with the express intent to not assimilate and
d)      when they demand exceptions to state or local laws that would allow them to
         deny freedoms to their own community that are contrary to our Constitutional
         protections

we must consider whether their place of worship should be allowed to remain. [/quote]

And the data on Tea Party and Religion
[quote]The results of the polling, by the Washington DC firm Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI), show that nearly half of respondents who consider themselves part of the Tea Party movement are also part of the religious right, and of the 81% of Tea Partiers who identify as Christian, 57% consider themselves part of the religious right. Only 15% of Tea Partiers, according to the PRRI poll, don't have a religious affiliation.[/quote]

[quote] Fifty-five percent of people who say they are part of the tea party agree that "America has always been and is currently a Christian nation" [/quote][/quote]

Al Qaeda was planning to use serin and mustard Gas by remote control planes to kill Americans. Apparently the plot was thrwarted. That OK?  The Tea Party doesn't think so, and if they are called a 'bunch of racists' as a result, they truly do not care.

A liberal is a conservative who hasn't been mugged yet - were it one of your kids at the Boston Marathon, etc. you would finally see the light. But now it's just theoretical so who cares, right?[/quote]yeah that's why we think you are racist. Because you hate al Qaeda and we don't. And because only conservatives lost loved ones in 9/11.

Keep telling yourself that.  [/quote]
