Your ignorance is really showing, Matt.
Try to read a bit before you rant about something you obviously know nothing about.
How does the Kool Ade taste?
BTW: Just for your edification, TEA stands for “Taxed Enough Already” and has very little, if anything, to do with your illustrations.

Howie— unions were never able to call out the U.S. Army to back them– industry did, and would be happy to again. There is indeed a “mixed” history with union leadership. There has never been much mixed message in the greed of Corporate CEOs, boards, and policies- greed is need.

TEA may mean “Taxed Enough Already” but their taxes haven’t gone anywhere and they’re at historical lows and have been so for years now.
However the TEA party has come for the rights of minorities and is nothing more than an ultra-right reactionary group bent on placing us all under theocratic rule. The polls, their actions, for a party claiming they believe in individual rights their bills are the ones taking rights away.

^ Fair enough. But I’ll have absolutely no problems countering that: but it isn’t the Atheists kicking students out of school for being gay or transgendered or having gay parents and trying to bar students from going to college if they’re gay or transgendered, that would be the Conservative Right Tea Party/Republicans. Heck, they’re even stalking gay kids who manage
One might say, “that doesn’t happen at every school,” but then again, neither do your examples. However since you’ve made yours all-encompassing, logically that makes my examples all encompassing as well.
The ACLU is one group and they have their issues, but if you want to list them by name, well then: NOM & Focus on the Family are two groups that come to mind immediately on the right “who support the Republicans 100%” crusading across the country destroying the rights of LGBT families and working to deny them at every turn. They don’t want them teaching [*gasp* transgendered teachers?!], they don’t want them marrying, they don’t want them adopting kids. Heck, they ignore biology and rational science and believe you can cure it with naked hugs and voodoo.
Incidentally, I wonder which of the following organizations gets blocked at schools: “Gay/Straight Student Alliance” or “Fellowship of Christian Athletes.” I have articles showing the former, do you have some showing the latter?
