I'm a little tea pot party short and stout... Here's my handle, here's what I spout... Fear Xenophobia Cryptofascism Creationism Inequality Ignorance GOP
Eh, it’s Ireland. Not much of a surprise, though I somehow expected it to be Canada. But considering all they get is leftist mainstream American news and the BBC, it’s no wonder that they too have been fed this nonsense.
But, in terms of reality, the Creationism thing is probably the only one that is relatively accurate - even though it doesn’t depict every one of the tea party or GOP. It’s also not really a negative in the same sense as ignorance, fear, xenophobia, etc.
Inequality too, in a sense, is relatively accurate. The issue is in method and use. Europe opperates primarily on the leftist view of equality of result. In that pretense the GOP and tea party do preach inequality. However, the tea party at least promotes the original American concept of equality of ability/potential, not result. Meaning, created equal. Meaning, a person is left to their own merit and general circumstance. Everyone equally has a different starting point and able choice of direction… instead of having the same end result no matter what you want to do and no matter how hard, or how little, you work.
Otherwise, the rest are complete nonsense. The only way “Fear” could be twisted to be accurate is in “fearing” that America could turn into Europe if allowed to move further left. Yet, fear of something actually bad occuring is not necessarily a bad thing. It can allow you to take necessary precaussions and make decisions before it’s too late (hopefully).
The bad kind of fear is that same false fear promulgated primarily by the left and libs, such as plant food (Carbon) causing global warming, heterosexual AIDS epidemic in America, and other nonsense continuously shown as foolishness.
However much fear the right of America has had regarding the left, the left has had far more of the right and been exceedingly more vitriolic about it.
The irony is just how ignorant the Left, even that in Ireland, is of the Right in America.

And “Palin Princess” O’Donnell got only 40% of the vote, which I believe is a mudslide?
