Decades of GOP political inbreeding has begat the Tea Party.

The problem is this spawn they couldn't keep hidden in the barn.



GUVMINT! LLIIHHHBRRELLS! SHOWSHOWism!

King James' Grammar is slightly different that today's. "Begat" is the simple past tense of "To beget." "Begotten" is the participial form.

Not a criticism, just a brief lesson in 17th Century English.

since the Teabaggers want to take us back to the 1600's

Forget, forgot, forgotten.

Different words, different tenses. Just because they sound alike doesn't mean they're conjugated alike.


Genesis 5 (KJV)
"3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and BEGAT a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth:
4 And the days of Adam after he had BEGOTTEN Seth were eight hundred years: and he BEGAT sons and daughters:
6 And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and BEGAT Enos:
7 And Seth lived after he BEGAT Enos eight hundred and seven years, and BEGAT sons and daughters:
9 And Enos lived ninety years, and BEGAT Cainan:
10 And Enos lived after he BEGAT Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and BEGAT sons and daughters:
12 And Cainan lived seventy years and BEGAT Mahalaleel: "

If that's what you mean. If you meant "begot," not really.

ETA: On further research, "begot" is also a valid past tense, but came into use later. Similarly "begot" and "begotten" are both OK as participial forms, too. I guess I'm stuck in KJV usage. But "has begat" is just incorrect all around.

Of course, this was before American Idol, so I guess there wasn't much to do at night other than begettin' your brains out or going out with the boys for a drive-by smiting.

I mean...maybe we're all going about things the wrong way...

Alas, the spirit is willing but the flesh is starting to head south. So much for my shot at making it much past 120.

Just a quick lesson that spell check doesn't catch all errors.

Excellent catch! I'll leave it in place. :rofl:

The teabaggers are a bought and paid for invention of corporate interests.

And will ride it until it crashes, detaching their trailer at just the right point.
