Which America Do the Tea-Baggers Want Back?

Helen has an idea:

Would that be the America where the Supreme Court picks your president instead of counting all the votes? Would that be the America where rights to privacy are ignored? Would that be the America where the Vice President shoots his best friend in the face? Or would that be the America where an idiot from Alaska and a college drop-out with a radio show could become the torchbearers for the now illiterate Republican party?

I fear that would not be the America they want back. I fear that the America they want back is the one where black men don’t become President.

I fear that she is exactly right.

I also need to address the blithering moron who brought a loaded handgun to an Obama event, something along the lines of "just because it is legal to do doesn't mean that it is smart to do", but later.
