> [@Shot\_From\_Guns](#): > > The clear rebuttal to that is obviously “Herp derp!” Hey! Careful! Some of my favorite creatures are herps. Even the ones that actually spit venom are better than those closet racist teabaggers. At least with my cobras, you always know exactly where you stand. (Which is to say, well back. And preferably with a face shield.) ---

There was a sign in front of a local firehouse that said ‘Tea Party 10/1’. WTF? I’m still not sure how this whole Teabagger thing works. Is there going to be a fundie bitchfest at my firehouse on Saturday? That doesn’t seem right. FWIW, my BF pointed it out to me when we drove by but honestly thought there was going to be a real tea party there. He’s so innocent. ---

Since they’re against all forms of socialism, I assume they plan to disassemble the firehouse. ---

There’s a sign that has popped up in Nashville, NC for the Wilson Tea Party. (I’m not sure why Nashville can’t have their own Tea Pary, but whatever.) This sign encourages passers-by to vote and “Take Back America”. The sign inspired me to vote – but I don’t think they will be pleased with my choices. 😃 ---

> [@pikey\_pete](#): > > I’m a member of a forum group called UER. We are all about urban exploration. Cool site, and usually good people. Imagine my frustration when I logged into their chat room only to discover Tea Party Truthers. can there be any more irritating people on the face of the earth? I think not. Forget the guy who feels you need to feel the bass from his car when youre at a red light, or the guy who laughs like a braying mule at a movie, or people who text while driving. Someone who believes that the US is a strictly Christian nation, that mice have been bred with fully functioning human brains, and that 9/11 was a government conspiracy beats them out hands down. I wish I had wombat hackers some days just to get these people restricted from spreading their ignorance. They make the baby Jesus cry. So, in short, ON, you know who you are, and if you are on TSD…please, read some things and let go of the ignorance please. Sheesh…I can’t believe anyone would defend Christine O’Donnell. Some fair points I guess. But after looking at your urban exploration site and others, would you admit that in the vast majority of the places you visit, you are entering illegally? Trespassing? Does the fact that you are breaking the law bother you? Or is it just a lark, and you feel it’s just cool, and fuck the law? ---

Of course I forgot to add that if you urban explorers actually put up settlements in these abandoned buildings and tunnels and such, it would be double secret illegal, and we would have to have a binding ruling under international law. ---
