Tea Party Treachery

Christine O'Donnell, the new Republican Tea Party candidate for Senate in Delaware, said on Tuesday night that the "same people who are supposed to be protecting our freedoms are taking them away." I wonder what she meant. The last time I checked, most of us still have the freedoms guaranteed to us by the Constitution--unless she meant Muslims in New York and Latinos in Arizona.

She also said that the cause of her campaign is "restoring America." Everyone in her audience nodded and cheered. They knew what she meant. I didn't. Restore America to what? A past where we didn't have a black president? A past where gays weren't advocating marriage and open military service? A past where Muslims hid behind burkas?

Hypocrisy in America is at an all-time high. I hope too many people aren't fooled by it.
