Is this name calling on my part?

I find it difficult to listen to what the "Tea-Baggers" have to say since it is clear that they, on the whole, are echoing the ludicrous and dangerous spouting of the likes of Limbaugh, Beck, Murdoch, Palin, Bachmann, et al. I find those people to be no more than dangerous demagogues who repeatedly use fear mongering to arouse apprehensive Americans by consistently applying the age old tools of hate, racism, and their very own brand of fabricated, hypocritical religious rantings to promote their vicious ideas. In short, they lie!!!

Is that name calling on my part? I think not. It is a statement of fact.

To put it simply, the far-right, who are now in the process of purging their own political party of Republican moderates, are at the cliff's edge, trying to drag the rest of the country with them. They are, knowingly, naively, stupidly, and at times intentionally nothing more tools of corporations and those who want to destroy the American middle class for their own selfish gain.

Their political mantra is "small government" meaning NO government control, and "Family Values" meaning their own fundamentalist, myopic, hypocritical view of Religion.

Neither side of our political spectrum has a monopoly on sainthood but the tactics of the American far right are nothing short of evil and are anathema to Americans who cherish democracy.

The Right wing Republicans say, "this is what happens when one side doesn't listen to the other." But they doggedly adhere to a written, public, tactics manual that instructs them to say NO to everything?

Politician's have never been known for truthfulness but in my entire adult life, and it's been a long one, I have never seen the amount of spinning and flat out lies that I'm seeing now, with the exception of the insane rantings in the days of Joe McCarthy.

If Americans can't understand the havoc that total lack of government oversight of the financial and health care industries and oil Corporations, to name a few, have wreaked on America, there is no place for reasonable conversation or reasonable resolution.

We all know how we wound up in our present fiascoes. Any discussion of that is moot. The only reasonable and perhaps fruitful conversation is, how do we repair the damage and position America for success in future generations?

I don't laugh at the tea-baggers. I pity them. They seem to me to fall into two clear classes: the used and the users.
