That's BS, Mark. You're using nut job fringe elements to incorrectly define a movement you don't understand.
Finding an article where some slimeball claims he has Tea Party support doesn't mean that he has the support of the vast majority of Tea Partiers. They aren't racist, although they may be opposed to affirmative action programs. You would be wrong to equate such opposition to racism. As for religion and government, they understand the critical role that religious leaders played in the founding of our country as well as the religious convictions of the framers. They also understand that "freedom of religion" does mean "freedom from religion." Rather, it means that the _federal_ government could not establish a religion. (The states were free to do so, and many did.) What do they support? There's only one common theme I can see, and that is smaller, less imposing federal government and lower taxes. Not smaller government. Not lower taxes. Smaller government AND lower taxes. > sure they do. > They're the ones who unfairly bear the brunt of the tax burden.
