Who does the Tea Party Sound Like?

President Ahmadinejad of Iran.

He denies the Holocaust!  He denies Israel's right to exist in the body that authorized it!  He denies 9/11 was an Al Qaeda event!  and now for good measure, he states that the U.S. started World War II.

This is not an individual who lets facts get in the way of his statements.  It is his way or the highway.

Well, that is exactly what the Tea Party advocates.  Their way or the highway.  They will not compromise on any point.  They will not acknowledge that other views may have validity.  They will not adhere to consistent philosophy.

I am not suggesting that any Tea Party person believes that Ahmadinejad does, only that stylistically they are following the same script.

Of course, most Tea Party people want us to bomb Iran, but the U.S. cannot afford a war of that magnitude with our fiscal situation unless we were forced into it by Iran starting the shooting.
