    No.

    They are a threat to rationality though, and our great nation's IQ can not take any more of the Tea Party propaganda machine, or the Christian Fundie's declaring war on "evilution", without some dire consequences.

    No, our nation was founded by Christian fundamentalists and we were a Christian country until the Democrats because the anti-Christian party. We have more to fear from Muslim fundamentalists like ISIS, Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Boko Haram, the MoA, and others.

    The difference in the TEA party platform is no different than the difference between dems and repubs. Their simply a new idea that fat cat politicos are not ready to listen too, nothing unusual here

    Atheists dont own secularism and they didnt come up with the idea of secularism either. Christians did. Its easy to pick on christians isnt it? Because you know we wont stoned you to death in the street. I dare you to go to Saudi Arabia and say this about muslims and islam. They'ed skin you alive and hang your skinless body from a light post by your intestines. And you would deserve it. Youre just a little coward.

    America is not a democracy, moron. Did you get past the 3rd grade? Remember the pledge to the flag: "and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands" Did your brain roll out your ear or did you poop it into the toilet?

    Any extremists threaten democracy,the extent of that threat depends on membership,financial influence,and what they're prepared to do,to gain power.

  • Religious fundamentalism is a threat to democracy and sane people everywhere.

    Since the tea party a constitutional strict constructionists--no they present no threat. Constitution shredding liberal idiots are truly the main threat to our country.
