The American Taliban

What the Tea Party believes in:

• Ideological purity
• Compromise as weakness
• A fundamentalist belief in scriptural literalism
• Denying science
• Unmoved by facts
• Undeterred by new information
• A hostile fear of progress
• A demonization of education
• A need to control women’s bodies
• Severe xenophobia
• Tribal mentality
• Intolerance of dissent
• Pathological hatred of the US government

Thank you, Aaron, for this true list of bad things.
