Tea Party Nation: Put an armed George Zimmerman in every school

The worst Americans. In the wake of this last mass murder, this one that is supposed to be different now, politically, from all the others because only the most monstrous among us could watch the aftermath of 20 children executed in their bright, sunny classrooms and think to themselves that there is nothing much to be done about such a thing, the Tea Party Nation watched, and waited two days, and sent out written proof that they are, indeed, the worst among us. If a lone fool pens a lone letter outlining how all his own crackpot little fantasies have been validated by these murders, that is one thing, but if the leader of the association passes it along as the sort of good, solid crackpot fantasies that his little organization of misfits, morons and terrorists-in-training can endorse, that is something else.

I have no patience left. Nobody should. But here is the advice that the Tea Party Nation is giving out, just so you know that somewhere along the line, the astroturf group that first ponied up the dough lost control and now the racists, the paranoid, and the militia goons have taken over:

1. Homeschool. Take away the power of the radicals in the classroom.

The "radicals" here would be referring to the teachers and principals and other students, not the heavily armed murderers. I thought I read something that said the murderer had been homeschooled for a while, but I am probably mistaken.

2. Back Right to Work legislation for the public sector. Teacher's unions have helped cement much of this in place.

I am not sure what it takes to look at the teachers who in crisis tried to protect their young charges (your children, and mine) from bullets, some successfully and some not, and wander perfectly from that into the assertion that they are evil and we should cut their pay and break their unions, but apparently there is at least one set of dumb fucks in America who not only think that, but feel no particular need for even a week of silence between the first part and the second part.
