from the St. Petersberg (FL) Times:


Tea party members tackle a new issue: manatees

from the 4th paragraph:

"We cannot elevate nature above people," explained Edna Mattos, 63, leader of the Citrus County Tea Party Patriots, in an interview. "That's against the Bible and the Bill of Rights."

And that? That is why we mock & scorn you, Tea Partiers. You're not only idiots, you're anti-manatee.

Poor manatee, being denied its right to assemble. And to free speech. Doesn't the Bill of Rights cover that?

Clearly, they are furtive Cuban-funded refugees, and therefore have no citizen-rights.

I knew it! You just can't trust anything with a face like that.

I guess they all conveniently ignore the part in their precious Bible that talks about being stewards of the Earth, eh? They only remember the bits that serve their purpose.

What would you know about the bible? You're a godless liberal! (as evidenced by your disagreeing with them)

I am embarrassed on behalf of my state.

Maybe we can always hope that the Rapture might come after all. More like an anti-rapture.

So if parents are above their children, they shouldn't take care of them? Or a better parallel, shouldn't adults take care of their parents?
