I've made no bones of not being fond of many of the Tea Party and it's candidates. Honestly I don't understand most of their ideas or how they would work. But the main reason I dislike the Tea Party is because of candidates like Glen Urquhart who recently stated-


"Do you know, where does this phrase separation of Church and State come from? Does anybody know? ... Actually, that's exactly, it was not in Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptists. He was reassuring that the federal government wouldn't trample on their religion. The exact phrase 'separation of Church and State' came out of Adolph Hitler's mouth, that's where it comes from. Next time your liberal friends talk about the separation of Church and State ask them why they're Nazis."

Of course that's not true. The truth and the Tea Party seem to be in constant conflict. In Jefferson's letters (to the Danbury Baptists) he stated-

"I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church & State."


I'm tried of this revisionism history. I know all politicians do it but to me this is beyond the common bull shit spread by someone trying to get elected or re-elected.

So, do you support the Tea Party? If so what do you make of statements like this?
