My previous post was all about not liking my current circumstances in this country. I continue to stand by those feelings. I thought it was noteworthy to mention that the Season finale of "The Newsroom" last night made reference to the members of the Republican party who support the tea party caucus. Jeff Daniels refers to them as "The American Taliban." I believe this to be an accurate representation of who and what these people represent. The things they represent are as follows...
Ideological purity
compromise as weakness
a fundamentalist belief in
scriptural literalism
denying science
unmoved by facts
undeterred by
new information
a hostile fear of progress
a demonization of
education
a need to control women’s bodies
severe xenophobia
tribal
mentality
intolerance of dissent
a pathological (unknown to themselves) hatred of the U.S.
government
God I love this show and I hope that the Tea Party continues to make themselves look like assholes. All it does is puts their inevitable downfall on an express train to its destination.
I did recently find full time work, and will be moving there soon. But I stand by my statement that if Romney is elected, I will leave.
