The tea baggers are people who resented kids who did well in school and they took the easy courses like Bus Education or did horribly in college courses because it was hard work. The love to wallow in ignorance and even when told that what they spew is not correct they don't care as they are not reality based. Like some person who is blindfolded and trying to hit a piñata they go around flailing away in anger railing at everything as their emotions are how they go throw life - never thinking their ignorance is really their fault. They always need someone else to blame for their problems.
