3. You're Six Decades Off

I would respectfully point out that you're at least six decades off. The ideology that the Teabaggers are pushing was actually formed back in the 1920's and began to assume a recognizable form back in the late 1950's and early 1960's. HL Hunt and other right-wingers had come up with what they wanted to do even before the end of LBJ's administration. All they lacked was a suitable power base, which they acquired, then built on, when Ray-gun took over the GOP after 1976.

What the Teabaggers are pushing is NOT new. This is the same old, same old right-wing crap I remember hearing on the right-wing religious radio stations in my youth and reading in old right-wing polemics I found a Half Price Books back in the 1970's.
