Every week, the Tea Party Nation hosts a weekly radio program , calling itself a “home for conservatives.” Two weeks ago, Tea Party Nation President Judson Phillips hosted the program and discussed changes that he felt should be made to voting rights in the United States. He explained that the founders of the country originally put “certain restrictions on who gets the right to vote.” He continued, “One of those was you had to be a property owner. And that makes a lot of sense, because if you’re a property owner you actually have a vested stake in the community. If you’re not a property owner, you know, I’m sorry but property owners have a little bit more of a vested interest in the community than non-property owners”

Astounding. This is now where we are. Beyond that, no comment necessary.

But if you'd like some, see ThinkProgress, for some historical context, as well as the audio clip from the program.
