"Buck up or stay in the truck."

Matt Taibbi spent most of the last year talking with the Fascist-Teabaggers who just put the House of Representatives back in Republican control.

After nearly a year of talking with Tea Party members from Nevada to New Jersey, I can count on one hand the key elements I expect to hear in nearly every interview. One: Every single one of them was that exceptional Republican who did protest the spending in the Bush years, and not one of them is the hypocrite who only took to the streets when a black Democratic president launched an emergency stimulus program. Two: Each and every one of them is the only person in America who has ever read the Constitution or watched Schoolhouse Rock. (Here they have guidance from Armey, who explains that the problem with "people who do not cherish America the way we do" is that "they did not read the Federalist Papers.") Three: They are all furious at the implication that race is a factor in their political views — despite the fact that they blame the financial crisis on poor black homeowners, spend months on end engrossed by reports about how the New Black Panthers want to kill "cracker babies," support politicians who think the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was an overreach of government power, tried to enact South African-style immigration laws in Arizona and obsess over Barack Obama's birth certificate. Four: In fact, some of their best friends are black! And five: Everyone who disagrees with them is a radical leftist who hates America.

It seems to me these Fascist fucks are the ones who hate America. This movement is nothing more than the last gasp of a generation of Americans who can't seem to grasp that we are becoming a much more integrated society and that the younger generations are much more progressive on social issues. I could be wrong, but I think this year's elections are just one of only a few minor victories they'll enjoy over the next decade or two of Democratic dominance.
