Something in the Water in the 6th CD

I was bored today so I googled the Sherburne County Tea Party. Boy what a trek into tinfoil land. Words cannot describe now nutty and paranoid they are up there as part of the 6th CD, Bachmann turf.

Just looking at the "ads" on the right, any environmentalism is "fascism", then they go to Health Care is Communism the next "ad" down. Talk about divergent views so close to each other, far right to far left. My head is spinning by trying to read this nonsense. Remember, this is the base the GOP is reaching out too.

Lots of Fundie Lutherans and Baptists. Families are inter related more than any other area of the state. The Syndrome lives.

Any other ideas about how this came about?

I always thought of people up there as so sensible.
