The Tea Party - Religious Right - What to call them?

[Rev. M. Rodimer]

Friends, I'm in a quandary.

For a while, the Tea Party and the Religious Right were two different subsets of the Republican Party.

Now, the Tea Party has merged with the Religious Right and absorbed the Conservative Movement, and Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck are among their de facto leaders.

So, what should they be called? I don't want to say "Tea Party" only, because some folks may not yet realized that they are pretty much all conservative Christians.

I don't want to say "Conservatives", because some freaks might think of that pervert Barry Goldwater.

I like "Tea Party Christians", but I'm not sure that's quite right, either.

What do you think? "ThEocrAcy Party"? Too "733+"?

Because not all of them are True Christians. There are many Tea Party, Republican, Mormons around. Unfortunately because of their silly UFO and getting their own planet beliefs, they're not getting into Heaven.

Mormons and Catholics are not Potentially True Christians™

What happened to the stuff about being reborn and a new beginning? If someone you consider to be a shameful harlot can be reborn why not a Mormon or a Catholic?

I'd say Tea Party. It's an established concept.

You people are so funny. I'm proud to be a Teabagging Mom, who's 100% for America AND keeping America a CHRISTIAN COUNTRY. No one who really loves America would want anything else!

What's funny about it?

Not all conservative Christians are Tea Partiers, and not all Tea Partiers are Christian Reconstructionists.

Just the overwhelming majority.
