In thinking about the Tea Party recently, I, like many of you, simply failed to fathom the bizarre-ness of it all. How can people possibly believe so many things that are so manifestly untrue? If you have two neurons to rub together, how can you believe that "global warming is a hoax", or "Obama was born in Kenya", or "tax cuts pay for themselves", or any of the other demonstrably false claptrap they believe? Then a light bulb went on. It's a cult.
