The Jesus Party

Interesting article from an insider on how the Tea Party is less about economics and more about distilling politics through "Christianity."

That a viable politician for American office brags about signing away allegiance to a power other than the Constitution, just 50 years after John F. Kennedy was forced to humble himself and say his church did not speak for him or him for it, is simply mind-scrambling.

Even more startling is apparently there's a kid's book out there about the Second Amendment called With My Rifle By My Side.  I guess From My Cold, Chocolate-Smeared, Partly-Crammed-Up-My-Nose-Most-of-the-Day Hands was already taken.
