If I was a young single go-getter, I would likely infiltrate this group, because you know the hot chicks in this video want nothing to do with old bug eyed jones that seems to be their only member, and I’m guessing he bats left and throws like a girl, which means your odds go up astronomically.<\/p>\n

Turns out I must be a tea partier, because with the exception of the Glenn Beck & gay marriage thing, I agreed with like 85% of that stuff. And my gay marriage position is essentially the 10th Amendment, which I think might push my back into the group.<\/p>\n

On Edit: Maybe not, I just went to their website, and here is their list of “facts” with me afterward:<\/p>\n

TEA PARTY FACTS <\/p>\n

64% of Tea Party activists think that America’s best years are behind us. This one kind of makes no sense. Right now I think we are in an absolute shitstorm, and it will be tough going, but I have faith eventually we will pull out of it. I’d like to see how this one was worded in the poll.<\/strong><\/p>\n

66% think global warming does not exist or will not have a serious impact. I think it exists, I also think that man has jack shit to do with it. Also, I don’t believe it will have a serious impact.<\/strong><\/p>\n

57% think George W. Bush was a good President. I think he was great on some stuff, and unconscionably bad on others. So, I don’t know how I would rate him. But, I believe he is a good man, which is something slightly different.<\/strong><\/p>\n

40% think Sarah Palin would also be a good President. Count me in. Yes we can!<\/strong><\/p>\n

32% think that violent action against the government could be justified. See, this is another one. It was justified in 1776 wasn’t it? I can’t forsee any violence I would support provided we still have free elections and such, so I guess I would be a no, but if I was in venezuela right now I would be supporting it, or Iran, and at one point they didn’t have the political system they do now. I wouldn’t categorically rule something out, but then again, I think we are a LONG LONG LONG way away from that one.<\/strong><\/p>\n

42% want to decrease legal immigration. If we stopped illegal immigration, I would want to reassess at what rate new folks coming in could be successfully assimilated into our society. So I guess I would have to be a no here. The problem with immigration is not the legal folks who follow the rules, it is the line-jumpers who screw over those who are waiting to get here following the rules.<\/strong><\/p>\n

41% believe that gay couples should have no form of legal recognition. No. I think they deserve whatever recognition the states should deign to give them, and essentially all the legal rights. Essentially marriage from the states point of view is just a contractual relationship, so I don’t have a problem with whatever they come up with. Actually, for the life of me I can’t figure out why the government is involved at all. Sure, I think they have a compelling reason to want to promote marriage and offspring, but it’s not like the track record on the gov’t is good, so, how about you guys sit this one out.<\/strong><\/p>\n

45% believe that abortion laws should be stricter than they already are. I think I’ll sit this one out.<\/strong><\/p>\n

59% like Glenn Beck. I don’t know, seems a little melodramatic for me. I like his books better than his radio and TV show, although he does seem entertaining from time to time. I’m agnostic on Beck. Especially after he had me on his show to discuss a movie I hadn’t seen, which seemed a bit odd.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
