It was co-opted by the millionaires and corporate media mentioned to take the reigns and make sure the movement would pose no serious threat to their plutocracy. Seems to have worked nicely.

Any grassroots movement that poses a real threat is soon infiltrated and radicalized to the point that marginalization is inevitable. Damage control. Yep.

Damage control.

Trash a bunch of citizens turned anti-govt patriots as if what they offer is truly beyond the pale. As if they haven't lived in this country and absorbed its political process for decades. As if they were born "last" night. As if their goal was to destroy the country, instead of save it. As if they would sell us down the river via debt and deficits. As if they actually had progeny that they are looking out for, instead of being politically "cool". This is one of your poorest efforts Rob. Ineffable stupidy, I believe you call it. That must be what Rob has going here.

The majority of America's Founders were indeed members of various Christian Denominations. And even the few Founders who were deists were deeply molded by Christian culture.;-) See American Founders at Wikipedia.
