Let's review:
1) ...One might think so, but no. Let's review:<br /><br />1) The book is written in 3 parts, each of which is about twice as long as most tea partiers are capable of reading.<br />2) Those tea partiers who have wikied the book, or anything about the author, take the parts they like, mostly about minimal government, and ignore the parts they don't like, mostly about government staying out of people's personal lives or using tax dollars to support corporations.<br />3) Each of the movie's two released parts are about two hours longer than the attention span of most tea partiers.<br />4) The author's views on religion (and its role in public policy) are diametrically opposed to those of tea partiers.<br />5) Love or hate the author or her philosophy, she is very clearly opposed to hypocrisy in all it's forms. That just doesn't work for tea partiers.<br /><br />In summary, today's tea partiers have about as much as common with this book and its author as they do with, well, the folks behind the original (Boston) tea party.<br /><br />Any questions?<br /><br />P.S. Even if the author is not your cup of tea (pun convenient), the book is a good read.Legacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00550465920724934392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991003657160361514.post-10588481701034236672013-08-07T14:51:08.494-07:002013-08-07T14:51:08.494-07:00I never read the book.

That is if it is the book I am thinking about. jamiessmileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150972137054126110noreply@blogger.com
