Tea Party Nation Confirms The "Tea Party" is One and the Same as Christofascists

I have long maintained based on polls that show a roughly 85% overlap between Tea Party members and self-identified far right conservative Christians.   In fact, the cynical side of me believes that part of the rise of the Tea Party was by deliberate design as a vehicle to repackage Christofascists in a manner that would disguise their religious extremism form less informed and knowledgeable voters. Instead of wrapping themselves in the Bible and the cloak of religion, the new "Tea Party" would claim to wrap itself  in "freedom" and the United States Constitution.  No has made it clear that the Christofascists w, in the wake of Gov. Jan Brewer's veto of the religious extremist backed SB 1062, Judson Phillips, the head of Tea Party Nation, has made it perfectly clear that the Tea Party and the Christofascists are one and the same.  Here are highlights from a statement on the Tea Party Nation website attacking gays:

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has vetoed SB1062, The Religious Freedom Restoration Act in Arizona.  No one has ever accused Governor Brewer of being the most courageous Republican around. Come to think of it, the word courageous and Jan Brewer have probably never been uttered in the same sentence.

 

The left and the homosexual lobby in America went into overdrive to kill this bill.  Conservatives rallied for this bill and Governor Brewer opted for cowardice instead of courage.

Why is this bill so important and what did it mean for not only Arizona but America?  The issue can be boiled down to one word: Freedom.

A free man or woman controls their labor.  A slave has no control over their labor.  A free man or woman decides who they will work for and under what conditions.  The slave cannot.

The left and the homosexual lobby are both pushing slavery using the Orwellian concepts of “tolerance” and “inclusiveness.”

The storm rose against Arizona and Jan Brewer proved she was no Ronald Reagan.  She has an honored place in the ranks of the French Republicans.  Corporations and business interests, many of whom support far left wing causes, like Apple demanded this bill be vetoed.  Apple gives 96% of its political giving to Democrats.  Why a Republican listens to a word from Apple or lifts a finger to help them is beyond comprehension.  The NFL threatened to pull the Super Bowl from Arizona in 2015.

Someone with courage would have called their bluff.  Arizona has Jan Brewer.

The most common victims of the left wing homosexual assault on freedom have been Christian bakers and photographers. 

Note the theme of Christian persecution - the same mantra that we hear more and more from far right "Christian" hate groups that incessantly demonize and denigrate LGBT citizens.   Anyone who thinks that the Christofascists and the Tea Party are two different groups is merely deluding themselves.
