Yes, the topic of the thread is the Tea Party and as John has pointed out the Tea Party is perfectly willing to let the government tell you who to marry, to interfere with medical procedures, to legislate morals, etc... They are no unlike the Taliban in that respect...Like the Taliban they want the government to inlfict and enforce their particular set of values...

John's question is quite relevant to this discussion...

I mean, the entire left v. right thing has to do with government... The right can not have it both ways... Government isn't like a menu at a resturant... We either believe that government does some things very well and let it do it or we have Mad Max After the Thunderdome...
