You got this quote: 'Freedom of Religion' does not mean 'freedom from religion'", from the teabaggers? Do you have no shame?

Maine Republicans Go Crazy ... Where Do Snowe And Collins Stand?

Need more proof of the radicalization of the Republican Party? Look no further than Maine:

An overwhelming majority of delegates to the Maine Republican convention tonight voted to scrap the the proposed party platform and replace it with a document created by a group of Tea Party activists. [...]

The document calls for the elimination of the Department of Education and the Federal Reserve, demands an investigation of "collusion between government and industry in the global warming myth," suggests the adoption of "Austrian Economics," declares that "'Freedom of Religion' does not mean 'freedom from religion'" (which I guess makes atheism illegal), insists that "healthcare is not a right," calls for the abrogation of the "UN Treaty on Rights of the Child" and the "Law Of The Sea Treaty" and declares that we must resist "efforts to create a one world government."


While most Americans are concerned about the economy, health care, national security and the like, Maine Republicans want to wave tea bags while wearing tin foil hats.

And it should be noted that just the day before Maine's Republican Party adopted this cup full 'o crazy, Senator Olympia Snowe, who appeared at the convention with fellow senator Susan Collins, told gathering that:


The people of Maine and America are with us. We are going to move heaven and earth to be triumphant in November.

Let's start a countdown clock on when the Maine twins begin speaking out on their new vision for America ...

>How many times have you heard a liberal compare Bush to Hitler? That wasn't an isolated criticism made by a fringe lunatic.

I always find that to be overboard. But I've heard it much more from establishment figures on the right over the last year and a half than I did by establishment figures on the left over the previous eight.
