Here are the 10 most bizarre Tea Party bills currently being debated in the Montana Legislature, which is now controlled by the right wing of the Republican Party. Some of these bills, believe it or not, have a chance of making it to the governor’s desk.
1) Prepare for National Ammunition shortage (SB 122). When Obama comes to get our guns and bullets, Montana will be ready...
2) Establish Armed Militias in Every Town (SB 130). Even if we have enough bullets, Montana could still be in grave danger from the federal government...
3) Require that nipples and areolae be fully concealed; prohibit “simulated genitalia” (HB 365). Our state already has a general law against indecent exposure but Montana’s social conservatives feel it isn’t enough...
4) Montana Legislative Dress Code. A young conservative ascended to speaker of the House this year, and his first order of business was to propose a new dress code...
5) “Encourage Critical Thinking in the Classroom” is the title of HB 321...
6) Allow Concealed Weapons in Bars, Banks, and on Campuses (HB 371, SB 143)...
7) Ban “Foreign or Religious Law” From American Courts (SB 199). The purpose of this law is to prevent Muslims from using Shariah law to co-opt our legal institutions...
8) Return All Federal Lands to State Ownership (LC 1758 et al)...
9) Nullify All Federal Gun Laws (HB 203)...
10) Allow Hunting With Silencers (HB 250)...

Aren’t the Progressive leftists supposedly BIG advocates of the “Separation of church and State”.....
Well I guess a Mosque is not a Church or Temple....
Create the MEME...
Feed the MEME....
PIMP THE MEME!
Hunting with silencers doesn’t sound like a good idea. Growing up my friends and I were all over the place, field, stream, and woods. We were well acquainted with popular hunting spots because of gunfire and so avoided them.
I’m moving to Montana soon
Gonna be a dental floss tycoon.
God bless you Jim. Texas, and now Montana are on the top of my list of I ever have to move back to the ‘ol USA.
All I see are a bunch of reasons to move to Montana.
A lot of these sound like positive change to me.
Actually, it's extremely bizarre these days to see a legislative agenda that does not encourage homosexual marriage, pedophilia, transsexuals, drug use, and illegal immigration ... or praise Islam and slam Christianity ... or try to eliminate gun rights and gut the military ... or encourage race baiting!
Salon would think balancing your checkbook would be an extremist act.
I wonder what they would say about Wilson's 14 Points? >:(
Number 3 is a little weird. Do they really have an areolae flashing problem in Montana?
Go Montana!
Wait... upon further reading... I (a male) have to wear a shirt in Montana???
As far as I remember, TEA was one thing. Taxed, Enough, Already. It covered a wide variety of ages, races, religions and areas of the country.
The favorite game of the left now is to hang every social, religious, and political position they don’t like in one box, and call it “TEA”.
TEA started with that guy yelling “stop spending stop spending stop spending”.
They love making TEA about everything, because they HATE the idea of TEA being a one issue concept of reigning in government spending.
I’d rather not see obese people in shorts and tank tops jiggling around in the grocery store, but I can always look the other way.
I like to walk-hunt, not sit in a blind-I don’t want to be doing that where someone with a silencer is walk-hunting too-it seems dangerous. But there is nothing bizarre about any of that, in my opinion-I think most recent democrat proposals are bizarre because they reward negative/bad behavior...
Seems like a good start.
From the comments at salon;
“While today’s Democrats are clearly not the same as today’s republicans (who have gone so tribal and authoritarian as to no longer even be conservative-radical right is more accurate), today’s Democrats DO align closely with Republicans of about 30 years ago.
I share your fears, but here’s a serious question. How do we keep the country from moving ever rightward while the Dems move ever rightward?”
So the Tea Party has officially endorsed these laws?
” like to walk-hunt, not sit in a blind-I don’t want to be doing that where someone with a silencer is walk-hunting too-it seems dangerous.”
I think they are already legal for hunting in Texas.
Sure. Didn’t they call you? They polled the rest of us.
