Tea Party or Totalitarian Party?
Straight out of 1984, it's Teabagger Prime, Senator Jim DeMint, and his supporters:

"Sen. Jim DeMint told a crowd of supporters Friday evening that he will continue to recruit like-minded Conservatives across the nation to run for Congress and pastors to join the fight to “take our country back.”

DeMint said if someone is openly homosexual, they shouldn't be teaching in the classroom and he holds the same position on an unmarried woman who's sleeping with her boyfriend — she shouldn't be in the classroom.

“(When I said those things,) no one came to my defense,” he said. “But everyone would come to me and whisper that I shouldn't back down. They don't want government purging their rights and their freedom to religion.”

Duncan residents Mike and Sheila Tate said they were encouraged by DeMint's speech.

“He's a great leader for this area because he share our concerns, our values and he's not afraid to speak up — even when it looks like everyone else is against him,” Mike Tate said."

1984, meet 2010...

NO SECURITY OF EMPLOYMENT is FREEDOM!
BEING UNABLE TO PAY YOUR BILLS AND RENT is PROSPERITY!
BUREAUCRATS CONTROLLING WHAT JOB YOU HAVE is SMALL GOVERNMENT!
