Guest Post: 100 Reasons To Call Me A Tea Partier!

It is rare that I feature a guest poster and even rarer that said guest post wasn't specifically requested on a particular topic.  However, once in a while, a fellow blogger writes something that is so dead on that I want to feature it on Biblical Conservatism.  Today is on of those rare days.  So please welcome today's guest poster, Melody Kite!
