Tea Bagger World. What Is Their Agenda?

[TheMastersNemesis]

If the most conservative hateful GOPPERS are not conservative enough what do tea baggers want?

When you add up tea bag rhetoric around the country and their fierce hatred of government you have to try to imagine from all the rhetorical pieces what a tea bag country would look like.

Here is what I believe we would have:

1. Balanced budget amendment.
2. No domestic programs.
3. No Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security.
4. Federal authority on most laws transferred to the states. (Labor, environment, health, commerce, etc,)
5. Federal authority only for military and home security.
6. Block grants to the states for money left over to do whatever they want.
7. Former domestic programs needs turned over to the churches to care for elderly, sick, poor, etc.
8. Amended Constitution aligned with Biblical law and the 10 Commandments.
10. National Amendment on Personhood declaring life beginning at conception.
11. Weakened gun laws nationally allowing free transfer of ownership no restrictions or background checks.
12. Privatization of most commons and infrastructure including national parks and monuments.
13. Taxation only on wage income.
14. Tax free for corporations and businesses and rich.
15. Funding for large military complex with preemptive attack strategies.
And I am sure there are other things they have in mind we do not know about.

PS. Feel free to add other ideas. What do these idiots want?

1. They donh't know what they want except they don't want a black president.

They wouldn't know what they wanted if it hit them over the head.

2. Abolish the 19th Amendment

As long as the womenfolk have a husband who can vote, they're represented. Those others without husbands...well...

Also outright disenfranchisement of people of color. No more yim-yamming about birth certificates and things like that, they will just take it away.

I also wouldn't put it past them to try and re-introduce slavery in some fashion...

3. This has been the GOP's wet dream for a long LONG time..............

Take a moment to think about how much time, money and effort has been expended to sell this to the rank and file Teapublican.
How many stars/shills such as Rush Limbaugh have been created to do the sell job.
The tremendous costs of redistricting, lobbying not to mention what price the new Jim Crow might have had.

Now, consider, who benefits from this.

4. They want a dictatorship with them being the Dictators.

They refuse to compromise which is the cornerstone of our democracy. They feel they are always right and everyone else is always wrong and there will be no discussion about it. They are quite un American and even fly other flags in place of the US Flag. Flags such as the Confederate Flag or the "Don't Tread on Me" flag. They actually HATE Democracy and will LIE, Cheat, and Slander to get their way, because they can not debate their ideas in a fair format.

5. Withdraw from all international organizations. Big walls on all borders.

Nothing - no people, no goods - nothing gets in or out.

Abrogate all treaties since they diminish our national sovereignty but restricting our freedom of action.

Gradually (or quickly) effectively disenfranchise minorities so as not to jeopardize future tea party dominance.

Self-deportation (or forced deportation) is the order of the day.

6. Based on the ones I know personally

A few things summed up, paraphrased, and there is some overlap

- A 1950's 'Father Knows Best' world, but with modern technology

- An Eisenhour era prosperity but using Reagan policies. Completely at odds, but like the angry drunk; you don't dare point that out unless you want a fight

- Get the black guy out of white house

- A world where they themselves make more and more money, but everything they buy will cost less because everybody else should make less money since everybody but themselves is obviously overpaid. Refer to angry drunk logic above to assuage the cognitive dissonance

- Turn the US into Bible-land
