26. I have lots of tea party relatives

Happily they are on the other side of the country.

They will all get offended if I call them a racist, but they all make racist jokes, forward racist emails and use bigoted terms to identify others. Does that make them a racist?

Anyway, this is an ugly joke but it pales compared to the loony stuff my relatives have been posting on FB recently. They are all concerned that the DHS is gearing up for a civil war. That the government is creating camps for prisoners and tea party protesters. That drones will be used to monitor their every move. That the government is going around confiscating peoples guns, cash and soon gold and silver too. O, and of course that the president if from Kenya. The civil war thing is very big lately.

Tea partiers are lunatics. And they vote....
