That's it... keep proving my point! More (in)tolerance.

If not narrow minded people, those who fear their power.
As was said about another post, this bears repeating....it amazes me the vitriol, hatred, fear and misinformation that is exhibited by some people regarding the Tea Party people. I do not belong but I admire that they have tried to effect changes in the way our government is running the country. Change is good. Why do some people fear it so ? Is it because the Tea Party wants to limit some of the outrageous spending that has become so prevalant in our government ? I guess everyone is afraid they might not get theirs......

Remember when Obama ran around the country yelling doom and gloom if sequestration happened.

Obama thought he had republicans in the bag and they would give in because of cuts to the military even promising during the election debate that sequestration wouldn't happen. The left won't tell you that Obama tried to include "another" tax increase in order to stop sequestration. He was wrong, Republicans didn't give in and there are cuts in the military.

Obama ran on raising taxes to pay his political cronies. Welfare (the 47%ers) are also Obama's political cronies only they are cheaper. Obama or Democrats won't spending on welfare after all like Pelosi said, welfare is a stimulus.

I didn't say they weren't peaceful. I didn't say they were messy. I said they were clowns. Sorry you felt the need to squawk about the Occupation movement in response. Doesn't make the tea baggers look any less clownish, though. Morans, if you will.

Now go get those gummint hands off'n that Medicare!

Not too sharp eh?

You called the TP clowns, yet you support real clowns like Occupiers.

Amazing I needed to dumb down my post....but it is what it is when dealing to the low information voters.

You should run to mommy and say someone hurt your feelings by not pretending Republicans aren't idiots. Go on now, go tell her that someone said the things Republicans do and say make him think they're clowns, and he did it without asking you even once if it would hurt your feelings and make you cry. You tell her how I'm a big intolerant meanie who made you sad.

So you are demonstrating Liberals are Intolerant and the banner of tolerance they wave is a false flag.

Nobody says liberals have to tolerate everything, and I wonder who told you otherwise.
