Why do nationwide polls show that the Tea Party is less popular amongst the American public than Muslims?

America hates spoiled brats like the tea partiers. A unique political study done by researchers at Harvard and Notre Dame that tracks the same 3,000 people and their political opinions over time reveals some new insights into the Tea Party movement — and strips away much of the political narrative that surrounds it. The group was first interviewed in 2006, and then again in 2011.

The results are fascinating, let’s look at the key findings: The Tea Party was never a nonpartisan movement made up of political novices who had just gotten fed up with politics — in fact, researchers found that the single best predictor of whether or not someone would be a member of the Tea Party was past affiliation and involvement in Republican politics. As a group, they were more likely than the average to have contacted government officials back in 2006. The Tea Party movement is overwhelmingly white and members have low opinions of immigrants and blacks.

True in 2006, and still true today, according to the study. In fact, these opinions are more consistently held among Tea Partiers than the belief in shrinking government. Religion is the driving force for many Tea Partiers.

The second biggest predictor of Tea Party membership (after being a Republican) is agreement with the notion that religion should play a prominent role in politics. The Tea Partiers in this survey put increasing the role of religion in government ahead of fiscal issues like reducing taxes or cutting the deficit. Tea Party ideology is increasingly out of step with the rest of America. Out of 23 groups polled about in the study, the Tea Party receives the lowest approval ratings, lower than atheists and Muslims.

That is despite the fact that the entire survey group has moved to the right on economic issues. In fact, the difference seems to lie in their strident beliefs on religion in politics and government — and area where the survey group (even non-Tea Party Republicans) has moved away from.

That must be the 300th time some liberal has posted that question. Now tell me who the sheeple really are.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
