Tea Party Leader is Pro-Bullying

In a post sent to Tea Party Nation members,TPN leader Rich Swier rails against a Florida group that introduced an anti-bullying initiative, arguing that being gay is just like being a drug addict and that the bullying of LGBT youth is a “sham,” because “this is not bullying. It is peer pressure and is healthy”:

...and , oh, Swier also thinks America is facing "white extinction". Of course he does.

1. So not only is he homophobic, he's a racist.

2. ..and he spends a lot of time
writing bad things about Muslims.

Seems like Rich Swier pretty much hates everyone.
How much would it suck to be him!

4. So, we should make our moral decisions based on what our peers want? I'm confused, I
thought that was their basic criticism of the LGBT community.

I swear! These people are impossible to credit with even the slightest bit of human understanding.

5. Republicans do have the herd mentality
so it is just natural for them to believe in peer pressure

6. So many contradictions and none of them appear capable in the slightest to justify ANY of
it on any basis other than obedience to assumed nobility.

Since they are so much in favor of war, one wonders what they think happens to a person, say for example, someone who has lived his/her entire sexual life as a lie, what happens to that person in the last few minutes/seconds of existence.

They just have this big message going on about believing in things and standing-up for what you believe, even to the point of killing or being killed, and you have to wonder what they think happens in crises, especially ultimate end-game crises, when those beliefs show themselves to be nothing but in-authentic lies based upon peer pressure.
