Of course they do. It's hard to argue how much foresight and insight the founding fathers had, how perfect the Constitution was, how we don't need anything other than what came from their minds and their hands to run this country... when you can point out their blatant hypocrisy and limited vision.
I don't think the US Constitution is perfect, but it is the best the framers could come up with and I applaud their efforts. Some of these imperfections, however, are a result of stupidity among people and racial issues (slave trade) was clearly a dominant one at the time. The founders can be seen as hypocritical for supporting and owning slaves, but they likely wanted to be seen as non-threatening to cultures within the US that worshipped the idea of slavery. Consequently, they ended up postponing the inevitable (which, I'm sure was a calculated risk), the civil war, as a compromise for immediate need, the building of the US.
Well I don't see anyone from the state board of Education in Tenn. endorsing that. So it's just a fringe group that's very vocal.
The same happened to Texas when they were reviewing the books.
Religion was going to replace science and history was going to be whitewashed to favor the South. Neither happened.
If we did that you'd have to rewrite the whole history of the friggen world. I don't think people would do that just to please a bunch of Texans and the members of The Mad Hatter's Tea Party.
So now that we have smeared both the occupiers and the tea party, we can now return to the benevolence, wisdom and charity of the "moderates" who performed their duties laid out in the holy writ of Wall Street.
Compromise is what we need. We can move beyond the radicals of populist socialism, or loss side capitalism. Profits in good times for the cronies and losses charged to the masses is working. Leave it be.
I finally read your links and found both to be left leaning blogs. Now I am against what those people are for but then I don't think we need to tear down what some children may think about our Founders. Do you really think that is a necessary thing or are you just pounding progressive crap?
I think that you and HuffPo are a bit wild with your claims about the Tea Party wanting these things when a whole two dozen people spoke out. Do you libs actually think that 24 Tennesseans are making policy for the national group when there is no national group? Naw, you just want to discredit the Tea Party for political purposes.

Wasn't huffingtonpost co-founded by a tea party pundit?

Censorship and whitewashing of history is wrong, even if it's done to protect our children.
You shake hands with 24 bigots a day? So in the course of a year you shake hands with 8,760 bigots a year, 43,800 over 5 years, nearly 100,000 over ten years...where do you live? How do you know they are bigots...and why shake hands with them if they are?
That's not even a remotely believable claim
Besides, the article states 24 were handing out materials...not 24 in the entire group...
Reading comprehension fail, expected from trolling by little stormfronters.
Have you been back on stormfront to find out what it going on again?
The tea party has become a fringe group. Many, if not most, Republicans and conservatives no longer support it.
You hope so, anyway. Lets wait a few months and see if you folks have managed to marginalize the group.
