Look at where roysoldboy comes from and that should explain everything. One of the most ignorant, right wing extremist, backward, bible thumpin', hate mongerin' places in the nation.
maybe before you label someone a hate monger you should read how your posts sound. I do not see hate in Kansas but i do see your hate for Kansas
Proving once again that Lefties have no common sense. They never "get" that what they've done is objectionable, offensive or unethical until they've already done it and the outrage is heard. Only then do they figure out that they were out of line. It's happened so many times just in the last few months.
I have to disagree with this - in my experience it is the right wing loons who behave that way. Not only do they not recognize when they are being offensive, when it's pointed out to them, they just don't care. And most of the time they just don't understand why anyone would feel insulted.
Show us where in that link it says that the protesters want to be called teabaggers, or where they actually use the term. They don't. They used a tea bag as a symbol that they hoped would call to mind the original Boston Tea Party. Becasue they were using tea bags, some wit (and I use that term loosely) decided to call the people involved in the protest "teabaggers."
there was a thread way back about this, and I swear me and other posters had NO idea about the sexual connotation, and thought the one single poster who was claiming it was sexual was crazy. I still think they started it themselves. If it was meant to be derogatory the cons would have been all over it WAY before now. I think the only recently found of what it means and decide to blame it on the left.
Agreed! Also, I just read yesterday on CD that at the very beginning of this Tea Party movement, people were told to "Tea Bag" their senators and reps, by sending them tea bags. Perhaps "who started it" is difficult to discern.
Why not? We have so many laws regulating what is and what is not allowed in the private sector. Otherwise rapists and killers (just think of domestic violence) would get away arguing it happened in the private realm. Humans need to be regulated by society because human nature tends to be egoist.
Becasue the companies aren't doing anything illegal. They aren't killing people, they aren't raping people. Profit is not, and should not be, illegal. Using salary to attract and incentivize top talent is not illegal. Risking corporate capital, risking shareholder money, is not illegal. Nor should it be. So long as the goals and policies of the company are disclosed to the shareholders, and the shareholders have the choice of whether to own the stock or not, corporations shouldn't have to answer to anyone else about their business decisions. A company wants to take chances, wwing for the fences? Let them. And if they should miss the ball, and strike out, you sned them to the bench. Better luck next time. Now the federal government has mucked up that policy by bailing out these failing companies, essentially excusing them from paying for the chances they took. Ohh, it's ok, take another swing, this is a friendly game. What a lousy idea.

and if they "tea bag" they are, by definition "tea baggers."

I have come to the conclusion that the people that use the term teabagging or teabaggers simply are scared of the movement and have no respect for people who are using their rights given to them in this country and try marginalize it with sexual connotations. its sick to think how low they will go

Can you indicate the part of Kansas you have visited and then call the people of the state those ignorant, left wing extremist, backward, hate mongerin' names?
I think you only know that we always vote red but are ignorant enough about us that you don't know that Kathleen Sebelius won two terms as insurance commissioner followed by 2 successive terms as Governor. Do you even know who Kathleen Sebelius is? I think not but maybe some day you will learn who she is if she, who is mentioned over 2500 times as an enforcer in the Reid bill, is still Secretary of HHS once it becomes law. Hell yes, I voted for her all four times she won election but would never do that again after her performance in Greensburg that afternoon in 2007. Yep, she tried to use our state National Guard as an anti-Bush weapon with one of the biggest lies I have ever heard told on TV.
I think you know about Kansas from the mouths of progressives only which really does make you as ignorant as you think I am.
No, it's a SOCIALIST disaster crushing what was supposed to be a Capitalist country. Capitalists said that those failing companies should be allowed to fail. President Bush started, and President Obama has continued on a much larger scale, the socialization of our capitalist economy by "bailing out" those failing banks with taxpayer money. Capitalists and conservatives have railed agasint it since it started.
Bill, Glenn Beck said the very same thing about those two men that you have today and all these liberal progressives don't know about it. Maybe Kos or HuffPo will tell the truth about him sometime but they couldn't allow his words to be known by progs.
