If you want to see what the a National Tea Party-party might look like, take a gander at what's going with the Iowa GOP. The Hawkeye State's top Republicans have put forth a platform that totally bites some major samples from Glenn Beck's 912 Project, but that's not really surprising. The interesting part of this revolutionary document calls for the reintroduction and ratification of the original 13th Amendment. (*Not the slavery one, an older one.) Specifically...“If any citizen of the United States shall accept, claim, receive or retain any title of nobility or honour, or shall, without the consent of Congress accept and retain any present, pension, office or emolument of any kind whatever, from any emperor, king, prince or foreign power, such person shall cease to be a citizen of the United States and shall be incapable of holding any office of trust or profit under them, or either of them.”
Well, there goes Ronald Reagan's U.S. citizenship. The Republican icon was honored by the British Crown with honorary knighthood. Same with Rudy Giuliani. Whoops, right? So why would the Iowa GOP want to do something so nutty? It has to be something that really pisses Tea Partiers off. Could it be...SATAN?!! OBAMA?!!
