:''"Yup, and the fact that they chose to call themselves "teabaggers," which is slang for a certain act involving (deleted profanity). It sort of says a lot. I would say a mouthful. Looks like it's very upsetting for them, but he's brilliant. The thing is, he's half white but that's still not enough -- for them it's all white or (deleted profanity). I think we don't deserve him and certainly teabaggers don't deserve him."'':

Fisher ignored the fact that the Tea Party was created in response to an increasingly-repressive, over-taxing, and power-grabbing central government; it has its origins with the [[Boston Tea Party]] and the conditions which caused the [[American Revolution]], conditions which are cited within the [[Declaration of Independence]].  Fisher herself played Princess Leia in the ''[[Star Wars]]'' films, which involved her character being on the side of a rebellion against a corrupt, repressive, and power-grabbing central government.

For years, the [[American Civil Liberties Union]] has been filing lawsuits against Christians in the country over prayers and gatherings in public places, prayers in public schools, the teaching of [[Creationism]] or [[Intelligent design]], or anything that has to do with the [[Bible]].  On August 3, 2010, the City of New York passed a unanimous resolution granting the building of an Islamic mosque just blocks away from the site of the twin towers of the [[World Trade Center]], which was totally destroyed by fanatical adherents of [[Islam]] on [[September 11, 2001 attacks|September 11, 2001]], killing nearly 3,000 people there and in simultaneous attacks in Washington D.C. and Shanksville, Pennsylvania.  Utterly-condemned by the nation at large, the ACLU and its sister group New York Civil Liberties Union said in a joint statement about the new resolution ''"We congratulate the Landmarks Preservation Commission for promoting our nation's core values and not letting bias get in the way of the rule of law.  The free exercise of religion is one of America's most fundamental freedoms. For hundreds of years,our pluralism and tolerance have sustained and strengthened our nation."''<ref>http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/08/03/new-york-city-panel-clears-way-mosque-ground-zero/</ref>
