Review: "Tea Party Catholic" | National Catholic Reporter

Review: "Tea Party Catholic" | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: It seems that this book is a standard "hooray for our side" puff peace.  Facts are optional in such propoganda - at which point the review could stop.  The title is troubling.  Ignoring colonial, no-nothing and Klan anti-Catholicism is one thing - but an essential thing - if one is also ignoring the membership of Tea Party Nationalists within that umbrella and some of their pro-militia, neo-Confederate still contain a strain of anti-Catholicism.  I suspect that the purpose of this group is not to lead Catholic sheep to these wolves (as if some conservative Catholics don't have fangs of their own) but instead for Acton to get a piece of the Koch Brothers money that seems to flow toward all things Tea Party.  I wonder if he is going to expressly cross the last two popes and deny global warming?
