It's wonderful that many of the people I really wonder about have joined together and given themselves a name I can use without resorting to a long description: "The Tea Party." Wow. This is so cool. As a liberal conservative, it has been a challenge to chide "The narrow-minded far-right ultra conservative evangelical fundamentalist semi-bigoted gun nuts." Now all I have to say is "Tea Party," or just TP for short.
With apologies to Merideth Willson:
Yes, I am a Republican. Always proud to say, I'm always mighty proud to say it. I consider the years I spent following Reagan were surely golden. The man had horse sense. A cool head, a keen eye. Why, who else do you think could have won the highest-stakes war ever fought without even ordering the firing of a shot (well, yes, there were those covert operations, Iran-Contra, proxy invasions...)? But just as I say, it takes judgement, brains, and maturity to be a real Republican, I say any fool can take and blindly wave an idealogy around "No Regulation," "No Federal Government." Never mind fair markets, decent health care, or the oil we burn, or the pollution we spread, or the debt we're in.
