Muslims, Christians, and Tea Partiers

The tea party ... they talk about the constitution as if it were a religious document.. the founding fathers as if they were prophets. As if the words they wrote at that time.. should stand forever unaltered. Not unlike radical Muslims or Christians who interpret the Koran and Bible ... as if every word is a direct line from God, that should stand forever unaltered regardless of changing times.

... both are imagining a world that doesn't exist

According to a Newsweek article by Andrew Romano

"Tea partiers are driven by the belief that the America that elected Barack Obama isn't their America, and Beck comforts them by telling them they're right: that the America they love, the America they now feel so distant from, the America of faith and the Founders and some sort of idyllic Leave It to Beaver past, is still there, waiting to be awakened from Obama's evil spell.
