This is an excerpt from my blog, Unholy American, where I talk about politics and religion.
What I did not talk about is Christine O'Donnell's obvious obliviousness to the Constitution, including, but not limited to, the Bill of Rights."1: Public display of Christian religious symbols in public buildings
2: Defying the Constitution Article 6 Section 3 on religious tests
3: Arguing that church-state separation is not in the Constitution
4: Promotion of Christian fundamentalist Christianity in public schools and government
5: Promotion of Christian prayer in public school
6: Legislate the Ten Commandments
7: Belief that the Ten Commandments trump the Constitution
8: Direct American foreign policy according to the Bible
9: Deny First Amendment protections to Islam
10: Force military personnel to attend specifically Christian functions on-base
11: Diminution of the rights of women
12: Some forms of slavery can be legal on a Biblical basis
13: The view that atheists are not really citizens
14: No Constitutional rights for the LGBT community
15: Discrimination is permitted on the basis of the Bible
16: Putting an end to contraception
17: Putting an end to abortion even in cases of rape/incest
18: Putting an end to sex education
19: The cessation of teaching evolution in public schools"
Tea Partiers Want Their Own Sharia LawNow obviously, several of the Tea Party Movement's goals are unconstitutional and will not be reached.But the one I'm most concerned of is: "Direct American foreign policy according to the Bible."
Oh yes. This is just what we need, another religious Crusade. But this time it's different. Back then we didn't have the technology to completely wipe off all life on the entire planet via nuclear weapons. And I'm of course assuming that the Tea Party Movement is referring to Deuteronomy 17:2-7. (For those of you who don't know [which is often the case that people don't know what's in there own religious texts] Deuteronomy 17:2-7 commands you to kill anybody of a different religion.)
Now some things, like "Legislate the Ten Commandments" are half good and bad. I'd love to have adulterers locked up. I'd love to have one day off no matter the circumstances. Many things are already enforced, like no stealing, no killing other people, and no lying in the courtroom. But some things aren't so good. The 2nd Commandment, if you actually enforce it, will end photography, drawing, movies, etc. That's right, the 2nd Commandment states: "You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth." And uttering "Oh my god!" has become a reflex for most, but that's not too severe ( I hope). And the 1st Commandment would be in direct violation of the 1st Amendment of the Constitution. Oh, and we'll have to kill Christine O'Donnell, because she was a witch. Hey, Deuteronomy 17:2-7 says so.
"The view that atheists are not really citizens"
Good-bye, George Clooney, James Cameron (Avatar), Jaimie Hyneman and Adam Savage (Mythbusters), Hugh Laurie (House), Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy), Angelina Jolie, Larry King (Larry King Live), Keanu Reeves, Gene Wilder (Original Willy Wonka), Brad Pitt....I could go on and on with this list, and this is just television&movies.
"Diminution of the rights of women"
Um. Isn't Christine O'Donnell a woman? II Timothy also states that women cannot have any authority. So by the Tea Party Movement's own standards, she shouldn't even be running for Senate, or even be thinking of a Presidential ticket, be it President or Vice-President.
And women will no longer have the right to vote, among other things.
"Putting an end to sex education"
Teen pregnancy. I think that should suffice enough.
I've said this many times, and I'll keep saying it. If you support this movement, you have lost your humanity and have no morals. But I'll say another thing; the Tea Party Movement is a palindrome to society.
