Former NY Times Reporter: Tea Party Are 1850s 'Know Nothings' and 'America's Worst Idea'

The Tea Party is five years old this election season, which means it’s done teething and spitting up on itself, but still prone to temper tantrums, irrational outbursts and threats to take its toys and storm off if it doesn’t get its way.
As a movement, it is down to a couple of former talk-radio hosts running for office in two states of the old Confederacy, Texas and Mississippi.

They can keep saying what they like but we are the wrench in the the machine. It doesn’t take a lot of wrenches to stop a machine. We don’t have to win every race to stop them or ultimately overtake them. The left taught us as much. Look what a bunch of radical pot smoking raping hippies managed to do? Now that they have risen to power they of course like most want to try to stay there forever. They talk change and diversity but that is not what they want. They want us to change to agree with their very narrow spectrum of diversity which always leads to greater and larger swaths of freedom ceded and government grown.
They depend on our acquiescence to transform our nation. They can not defeat us in open battle so they try to silence us and demonize us but there is something changing. Their screams of “racism” are ringing increasingly empty to those without jobs and who see them more concerned about interests of foreign migrants than unemployed citizens. There day is coming and their reign will end.
