“First they came for the rich. And I did not speak out because I was not rich. Then they came for the property owners, and I did not speak out because I did not own property. Then they came for the right to bear arms, and I did not speak out because I was not armed. Then they came for me and denied me my medical care, and there was no one left to speak for me,”

This was said by Laura Ingraham, conservative radio host, at a major Tea Party...

The actual poem goes...
First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak out for me.



....I swear, I'm so fucking pissed...

On the down side, it is indeed infuriating that not only can someone be that stupid and senseless, but that thousands will actually applaud it.

On the plus side, the more publicity the Tea Party gets, the more likely it'll be the final nail in the coffin of the Republicans. Here's to them as a third party with Sarah Palin at the helm.

Here's the thing, conservatives need a party, I believe new age conservatives are ruining what is pretty much the only conservative party...
Sadly conservatism, true conservatism is a rational and important side, which has not had much intellgence from it in some time...

The sooner the current structure falls apart, the sooner they can rebuild it to a more rational state. The Republican Party, in it's current state, doesn't deserve to exist. Either they cut out the cancer eating them up (the Tea Party) or they completely collapse until a new right is formed.
