Huffington Post:



*snip*

Despite all their stated reverence of the Constitution of the United States, Republicans (regressives) are really in love with the Articles of Confederation and wish the Constitution would disappear.

It has been apparent from the beginning that most of the Tea Party people, who now have control of the Republican Party, never really understood the Constitution (assuming they had read it), and certainly not the context in which it was written.

This is a very rare article talking about the tea part "state-power" ideas are really based on the articles of confederation and disagrees with the constitution. Am I the only one that learned about the Articles of Confederation in high school and the fact that it was a complete failure?
