WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Many supporters of the conservative Tea Party movement that has shaken up politics share the same views as the Christian right on social issues like abortion and the role of religion in public life, according to a poll released on Tuesday.
...are more likely to support government restrictions on gay marriage and other social issues, the Public Religion Research Institute found in its American Values Survey.
Nearly half of those who identify with the Tea Party believe that the Bible is the literal word of God, and a similar proportion thinks that public officials do not pay enough attention to religion, the survey found. They are more likely than the population as a whole to view America as a Christian nation.

Fair enough-but this man was a patriot.
I don't think he was a patriot because he didn't have a real understanding of the Constitution.
Not that it still exists. But I'm no Constitutionalist for the same kind of reason a Christian shouldn't be a Bibliophile.
