The Tea Party moves to ban books | Amanda Marcotte

the Tea Party looks more and more to the old religious right censoring what children read in school is on the agenda

Although ignored by the media types married to the story that the Tea Party is a spontaneous uprising of the people who were apolitical before Obama sent into the turn, I guess many of you, I read with interest Robert Putnam and David Campbell distillation of intense research in the political attitudes of Americans shows that the "Tea Party" is the same old right wing base, but only with a new name. And they are most striking in the Bible-is the basis of law (like most racists - these things tend to go hand in hand). Putnam and Campbell write:

[members of the Tea Party] disproportionately social conservatives in 2006 - opposition to abortion, for example - and still are. Apart from being a Republican, the best predictor of being a supporter of the Tea Party today was a desire, in 2006, to see religion play an important role in politics. Tea Party and continue to maintain these views: the search "deeply religious", elected officials, to approve the participation of religious leaders in politics and religion brought you to the political debate. The Tea Party general we can say that his main concern is a smaller government, but not their bases, which are more concerned to put God in government.

This does not mean it can only increase as the same shit different name. One important thing has changed - giving them the nickname of luxury and a lot of new artificial turf and the endless coverage of events on the right and the media gave a value to these dickweeds. It's the same shit different name, but with more power and energy due to the new fancy names.

• A measure of the emboldened religious right is at all times is to analyze the challenges and censorship of books in local schools. Interfere with the intellectual autonomy of minors below the list of priorities with pregnancy rates increased to produce a steady stream of examples to point out when I call in the wages of sin. And attempts at censorship was very successful this year, according to the American Library Association

ThinkProgress reported last month that high school in Missouri banned the classic novel Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut, because residents complained that the monks are taught the principles contrary to the Bible. Now, reports American Library Association, this year, American schools have banned more than 20 books and over 50 face other challenges, and many more expected this fall to start school ...

While parents traditionally have implemented most of the challenges, Deborah Caldwell-Stone, counsel for the association, said he noticed "an increase in organized efforts" to remove books public and school libraries.
