Let's make the complete list of things teabaggers must boycott to prove they're antigovernment
(I'd have preferred "their anti-government bona fides," but the subject line isn't long enough.)

Roads. Those SUVs might finally prove useful for something.

Similarly, fundamentalists and creationists don't believe anything has changed since God created the Earth 6,014 years ago, so they don't need to immunize their children, or at least not more than once. After all if we don't evolve, pathogens don't either.

Ok, what ya got?
