It is critical that the GOP/Tea Beggers need to get out more and see the world. Their ignorance and intolerance towards others is just a very sad situation. The GOP/RNC need to learn about other religions, other cultures, and other people. The GOP/Tea Beggers have no objectivity on social and cultural issues at all.

    Do not ues complex words when talking or writing to the Tea Beggers. They are very paranoid already, and they will start shooting. Learn to duck! In their case they love to shoot ducks.
