In the context of this thread, where is Webb talking about Christian values? From what I'm seeing he's calling for a smaller government. Do you have a problem with that? If so, why?

To add about Webb, from his site (http://davidwebbonline.com/About.html - broken link)...

"Active in politics on the local and national level, David co-founded TeaParty365 in New York City, a non-partisan, non-profit advocacy group for fiscal responsibility. He is also the co-founder of the Black Forum, Black Republican Forum and American Forum Series. He has consulted the Coalition For A Secure Drivers License and political campaigns from municipal to gubernatorial."

Before the Tea Party he was already a vocal fiscal conservative- apparently for 20 years now. I want to know what the problem is with folk being fiscal conservatives.

Well thats his side of the argument(Christian conservatives), so that is not a particular response to the comments he made in this thread.

I dont agree with the smaller government he wants though. Big Government has always been around to stop force smaller state governments to give people like Webb rights and such. He may feel its not needed, but I would not bet against hatred.

I'm not following. Webb has not posted in this thread. I've linked a vid of him, and other links. I'm not seeing religious anything, but I may have missed it.

Minimizing government is minimizing spending. period. I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would be against minimizing spending. Our debt and deficits are out of control. It's not sustainable.

Either way, she had an opinion and you disgareed with it. Neither of you have any way to prove your opinion is a fact.
I never attempted to prove that my opinion was "fact".........I simply asked ASKED THE QUESTION, why wouldn't the Tea Party denounce/reject publicly the David Duke endorsement. The person who started this thread apparently got embarrassed because she/he was posting off topic and got called on it.

Bottom line is still: WHY does the Tea Party continue to remain silent regarding the very public endorsement of their movement by David Duke, the nationally known white supremacist? Why does the Tea Party remain silent when they are being publicly and openly supported by stormfront members and the Council of Conservative Citizens? It doesn't make sense that they say NOTHING about these white supremacists supporting their political movement when they have been accused in public of being a white racist movement. It would take very little effot to make a statement denouncing Duke.

Just look at Duke's web site........he does share the political positions of many conservatives in terms of immigration, the national debt, he thinks Al Franken won the election because of "felon votes"......feels that the NBPP is getting a break from the Obama Administration and that they're dangerous. I pointed out all those things and listed the headlines on Duke's web site to support it.

You are continuing to spin. I'm a feminist, too. So what's that got to do with anything?

Again, Nitsua started a race baiting thread over the tea party and Duke. She wants to know why Webb denounced a racist member of his organization, but not Duke. I say Duke is just being ignored because he's not a member. But no, it's really because Webb is a racist. He's a black racist against blacks. That's the point of the thread.

I guess I should have linked her thread.
The point was Webb was being inconsistent. The point of the thread was to DISCUSS why the Tea Party did NOT publicly reject David Duke's endorsement
