Tea Party Christian Crackpots

The Tea Party Movement was born after Sarah Palin lost her bid to be President – after Jesus killed her running mate, John. John was meant to prepare her way.

The make-believe-solution for all of America’s problems is JOBS, and people buying insurance they can not afford, and get. Bush disappeared our jobs! How do Tea Party Crazies produce jobs and cheap insurance? They don’t have a clue! This is a Faith thing, they using our political secular way of life as a means to push their Fake Jesus on us, the Jesus that was invented in 1840 by John Darby.

Some people think I am crazy, but, think it is O.K. that Christians took over the Republican Party and have brought our Democracy to a dead halt.

Liberal Agnostics are worthless when it comes to opposing the Fake Jesus because they own the idea of a Cosmic Liberal Jesus who is a lot like them – even though they have never read the Bible! They can not grasp the idea that someone would use scripture to fight THEIR enemy.

“Ignorance is bliss.”

The rise of the Tea Party movement has been one of the biggest political stories of the year. Now a new study shows the strong relationships between Tea Party members and Christian conservatives.

The Tea Party movement is often heard to be about all protesting taxes and big government.

“There’s a lot of us who have a dream now, and the dream is that government get off our backs,” said Dallas Woodhouse, the North Carolina state director for Americans For Prosperity.

“The government has gotten far too big for far too long,” said Dave Smith, a spokesman for Americans For Prosperity

“Faith, hope and love are not dead in America,” said Dr. Alveda King, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s niece. “Hallelujah! We still trust in God.”

However, new research shows there’s a strong overlap between Tea Party members and Christian conservatives. Dr. Robert Jones, chief executive officer of the Public Religion Research Institute, led this study.

“We found that nearly half, 47 percent, of those who say they consider themselves a part of the Tea Party movement also say they consider themselves part of the conservative Christian movement,” Jones said.

And some fiscal issues are issues of conscience as well. For instance, Penny Nance, chief executive officer of the pro-family group Concerned Women for America, pointed out the huge federal debt is as much a moral offense as a fiscal problem.

“The fact that we have $13 trillion of debt hanging over our children and grandchildren is absolutely fiscally irresponsible and immoral,” she told CBN News.

Because of their dislike of intrusive government, the Tea Party is thought to be mostly made up of Libertarians, who usually share a “live and let live” philosophy on many social issues, but Jones disagrees.

“Among those who identify with the Tea Party, they’re actually social conservatives and not social Libertarians,” Jones said.

Yet, 63 percent of Tea Party members said abortion should be illegal in all or most cases, which is hardly a Libertarian viewpoint.

“Those people are well-rounded conservatives and they want to do something on the life issue as well,” said Tom McClusky of the Family Research Council

Eight in 10 Tea Party members call themselves Christians and 57 percent of those label themselves conservative Christians. But for all the publicity the Tea Party gets as being a major dominating factor in today’s politics, there is something important to remember:
■Just 11 percent of Americans see themselves as a part of the Tea Party movement.
■Twenty-two percent call themselves conservative Christians.

“It’s likely that the Christian conservative movement may in fact influence the Tea Party movement more than the Tea Party movement influences the Christian conservative movement, because of their relative size differences,” Jones said.

That fact suggests that the social issues so vital to so many Christians will not fade as crucial political issues.

The Internal Revenue Service admitted Friday to singling out Tea Party groups applying for tax exempt status last year, pointing the finger at “low level workers in Cincinnati.”
During the 2012 election cycle many Tea Party groups applied for tax exempt status under the federal tax code.

In response, many received an unexpected barrage of unusual and time-consuming questions, ranging from membership lists to board members’ resumes.
“This isn’t rocket science. We know what the rules are and we follow them,” Tim Savaglio, of the Liberty Township Tea Party, said.
After Tea Party groups across the country protested, the American Center for Law and Justice took the case, calling the IRS’s actions unconstitutional and smacking of McCarthyism.
“The cases that support our position, date back to the 1950s,” ACLJ Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow told CBN News.
Jordan Sekulow, executive director for the ACLJ, will talk more about the IRS’s apology on Newswatch, May 10. Check your local listings or check CBNNews.com after 5 p.m. ET for that interview.
“It’s the NAACP line of cases where the government tried the same thing,” he said. “They wanted membership lists, data, who did you communicate with? And the Supreme Court said, ‘That is intimidation. That violates the First Amendment.’”
On Friday, an official speaking at an American Bar Association conference confessed the IRS singled out organizations with the words “Tea Party” or “Patriot” in their applications.

Lois Lerner, who heads the IRS division that oversees tax-exempt groups, admitted the IRS asked for lists of donors, which violates its own policy.

She called the practice “wrong,” “insensitive,” and “inappropriate.” In all, Lerner says the IRS inappropriately targeted 75 groups.

But Tea Party groups say it was more than inappropriate.
One of the largest groups, The Tea Party Patriots, has rejected the apology, calling the IRS action an “outrageous abuse of power.” They’re calling on Congress to investigate.
