Tea Partier Lauds Texas Republican Platform - (Video)

&feature=youtu.be

Apparently this is satire; however it does seem very close to real. The guy claims he is "Grand Dragon of the Tea Party" says reforms will "put blacks and women back into their place" and "get this science shit out of public schools." The other quick references in the video:

1. Repeal Voting Act of 1965. One voting booth for 10,000 people.
2. Opposes reparation for slavery to give the black people a kick in the ass.
3. Repeal minimum wage because it is slavery for the older class. Wants people to live like people in Bangladesh.
4. Against any immigration reform.
5. Defund education and eliminate science in schools.
6. Doesn't like the way women dress.
7. Women should carry babies regardless if they were raped or are victims of incest.

If you look at the actual Texas GOP platform, they want to abolish something called the Voters Right Act which is not the correct name of the law.

The Texas GOP is full of idiots
