Existentialism is the root of the Tea Party?

I found this both funny and disturbingly dangerous. It is automatically suspect when anyone takes there definition of a philosophical systems out of the american heritage dictionary. I feel that a movement like existentialism is dangerous in the sense that in describing the human condition, almost everyone is involved, associating it with a political movement then has great weight. I'm not a political animal myself, but this just seems inappropriate. Any thoughts?Join me on Twitter or Facebook for updates. Please email suggestions, links and questions to PhilosoraptErs@gmail.com
