Really, Teapublicans hate Reality. Republicans pretend that basic math like 2+2 is negotiable. They say things are in the Bible that arent, and ignore things that ARE in the Bible. The GOPee would have you believe that scientific facts are debatable.
This denial-based approach to reality has lots of consequences. By denying biology and human sexuality,the Teavangelical abstinence only approach has caused STD epidemics and lots of unintended underaged pregnancies. By denying history, Trickle-Down economics has beggared the many and fattened the few. By denying science, whole nations are being wiped out by climate change, and more damage is occurring on a daily basis.
By denying the Constitution, a partisan republican Supreme Court illegally installed Gee Dubya Bush in the White House. By denying the facts, that illegitimate president allowed 9/11 to happen. By denying MORE facts, that same individual launched an illegal war that killed thousands of people and squandered billions of dollars. And so on. And on. AND on.
Those who vote for Teapubbies are even further divorced from reality (except for the .1 % crooks): because even though their jobs and money are gone, their women abused, their fields parched and their homes foreclosed upon, millions of Americans continue voting for Repubs. Because they deny the reality that their lives have been drowned in GOP Elephant s***.
Reality cannot be denied forever. Sooner or later, the facts will have their triumph. And all the denial one cares to create and perpetuate will accomplish naught in the end: nothing, that is, but even greater destruction, death, and human misery.
Reality is calling. Pick up the damned phone, America.

Repubs would have the world believe that the teabaggers are separate from the GOPee.
