Tea partiers now want to repeal the 21st amendment?!
http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/10/top-5-constitutional-amendments-tea-partiers-would-repeal.php?ref=fpb


This one's a bit out of left right field and there's little indication that a significant subset of the tea party really cares about or supports this. But check out what Nevada Senate Republican hopeful Sharron Angle told Liberty Watch: "I feel the same about legalizing alcohol," she said. "The effect on society is so great that I'm just not a real proponent of legalizing any drug or encouraging any drug abuse."

The 21st Amendment repealed the 18th Amendment, which instituted prohibition. Just repeal the 21st Amendment and -- voila! -- the 18th is back in effect. Not sure that'd be great for Nevada's struggling, booze-and-gambling-centric economy, tough.

6. If I were in Nevada I'd be tempted to boycott the Casinos on Angle's behalf.
Houses of sin and vice that they are.

4. I didn't realize they knew there was a 21st Amendment.
I always thought the Second Amendment was as far as they could get.
