	<blockquote>Ideology is one thing. But if the tea-partiers do well next week, especially if the Republicans capture the House, they need to move past ideology into the realm of practical policy. This means having something serious to say about how actually to bring spending under control. To date, they have preferred breezy slogans. Will they cut into pensions and Medicare, and if so how? Will they accept that taming the deficit will require hikes in taxes as well as cuts in spending? Will they continue to oppose reflexively every measure of a Democratic administration, or have the courage to share responsibility for the painful decisions the times demand? <strong>It has been all too easy from the outside to conjure up a mythic America of limited government, sing hymns to the constitution and denounce the federal bureaucracy in all its forms. Once they are in government themselves, that gig will be over.</strong> </div></blockquote></div></blockquote>
	<br />
	Not really. <br />
	<br />
	They have no interest in governing, or governance beyond cutting taxes and raising spending, for the wealthy, rich and uberrich.<br />
	They have just come off 12 years of running things and are enjoying being downtrodden. <br />
	<br />
	So what we will see from them are corporate tax breaks, socialism for agri-biz, and other cronyism.  <br />
	That stuff will get little or no press. <br />
	<br />
	What will get lots of press will be legislation to outlaw the use of Sharia law in the US. <br />
	 Anti-immigrant laws such as AZ 1070.<br />
	And other nonsense attacking Muslims, immigrants, Latinos, GLBT, and the poor. <br />
	<br />
	Anyone who opposes these laws will be Muslim or socialist or worse.</div></blockquote>
	<br />
	Do you support the practice of Sharia Law in the U.S.??</blockquote>
	<br />
	The point is that no one is practicing Sharia law in the US.<br />
	<br />
	You might as well pass a bill outlawing the eating of fried unicorn shit.
