Are you...surprised?

 

[CabVet]

Not surprised either, but it is always a shock to see the numbers.

I suppose I'm desensitized to it, because of where I live.

That 61% is higher than I imagined. It shows that the Tea Party isn't just against taxes.

If they only defended the Constitution half as much as they claim to do.

 

[Strathos]

Obviously the think the Constitution means something other than what it really means.

Probably similar to how they interpret holy books. It means what they want it to mean.

60% of those polled said they were not a part of the tea Party.

True. It shows that the majority of all Republican primary voters have little regard for the First Amendment. Not much difference between the Tea Party and non-Tea Party wings.

But the Tea Partiers are particularly low information when it comes to evolution.

Very true. Nevertheless, they continue to have more influence with the Republican party than their numbers would suggest.

I do wonder what the voters in this poll thought having a "national religion" actually entails. I suspect different people thought it meant different things.

Many countries have a national bird.....
but still allow other birds to fly over
as long as they don't land.

A "national religion" is anathema to us -- so is "religion."
