Good God (pun intended), what does the Tea Party have to do with religion? I thought the TP had a big umbrella, was open to everyone. One of those doofuses said that during the debate last night, I don't remember which one now.

If YOU aren't providing your children with knowledge about politics then SOMEONE ELSE is. If you believe your values and polictical leanings are correct then there is nothing wrong with getting "first bat" at steering them in your direction.

I wasn't complaining.
I was commenting on past history and that there can parallels, until we know more we cannot judge.

That is your choice but I can assure you that once your child reaches adulthood they will be what THEY want themselves to be and not what you want them to be. Better to instill good values and leave politics out of the child rearing IMHO.

"Falls under the Tea party umbrella"??? You lost me there. To me, Pelosi and 0bama fall under the Marxist umbrella.

Sounds like history repeating itself indeed.
