This is the modern day Tea Party Republican Party

Clint McCance is a school board member at Midland School District in Arkansas. Here are some quotes from his facebook response to “spirit day”

“Seriously they want me to wear purple because five queers committed suicide. The only way im wearin it for them is if they all commit suicide.”

” I cant believe the people of this world have gotten this stupid. We are honoring the fact that they sinned and killed therselves because of their sin. REALLY PEOPLE.”

“Being a fag doesn’t give you the right to ruin the rest of our lives. If you get easily offended by being called a fag then don’t tell anyone you are a fag. Keep that shit to yourself,”

“It pisses me off though that we make a special purple fag day for them. I like that fags cant procreate. I also enjoy the fact that they often give each other aids and die.”

“I would disown my kids if they were gay. They will not be welcome at my home or in my vicinity. I will absolutely run them off. Of course my kids will know better. My kids will have solid christian beliefs. See it infects everyone.”

The political wing of the Tea Party may not be saying anything about gays and African Americans before the elections. Their political representatives like Rand Paul may even be covering up their views before the elections, but gay people are still near the top of their list. People like John McCain and Clint McCance just find it difficult to hide their bigotry. The political wing of the Tea Party still hates gay people and anyone remotely different. We have however been demoted. They just have a new primary target of hate, the Muslims.

2. He sounds just like some of the teabaggers I know. Correct, republicans are keeping their hatred

of gay people below the radar and are focusing their hatred on Muslims now.

7. The point is that they were told to hide their bigotry,

this election was not supposed to be about social issues, but these people just can not help themselves. It is who they are.
