I'd say that this is a sign of the times and most people will agree that our nation is indeed in distress.
Absolutely. But you won't find too many agreeing with you in this crowd of anti-American communist left wing radicals ... they think the country is heading in the right direction .. communist/fascist dictatorship headed by a foreign national posing as an American.

The Tea Partiers may be large enough to sway local ellections but not strong or diverse enough to sway the presidential election.

When that group stops the name calling the president and start standing for true issues by putting together true resolutions for our countrys problems they would diversify and become more powerful. An all white tea party movement (as it stands today) is not going to do anything but embarass themselves in the longrun.

the problem the left has with the Tea party is no matter how they try to marginalize them they do not understand that the tea party group is swaying elections. So you guys on the left keep on insulting them and calling them names, you will drive this voting block away from the Dem's.
you guys have not learned yet but there are more lessons to be taught in the next election

Please inform me of the multi racial and bi partisan statistics. Seriously! Give me information regarding their solutions to our problems. I thought they where the ones that had all of the nasty things to say about president obama race and called him a muslim. They also said that obamas pastor hated our country and white people.

I know these are not the main issues that they stand for but they have been quoted on tv as believing such.

Please help me to understand something different that what I understand.

As a VET that served this country, and risked my life for it -- I find it absolutely disgusting that this business owner is flying the flag upside down. It's shameful.

A suggestion, madam: Read up on your objects of disdain before you rant at them. I realize that may be a difficult thing for you to do, but at least try. Take a look-see at this: Tea Party movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia While I agree that the wiki sites are far less than what could be, it's a starting point.

"elections" (one "l")
"embarrass" (two "r's")
"country's" (possessive)
"long run" (either two words, or hyphenated)

Not the concealed carry instructor saying it, the DA on film saying it.

The "toothless redneck" might have to pony up about $10K on legal bills to guarantee an acquittal, but you'll be hurt, permanently injured or dead. Also civil cases aren't easy to win in Texas for aggressors so forget about getting too much $$$ from him.
You don't get it.

That toofless, ignorant, piece-of-crap redneck wouldn't have a chance to use a gun. He'd see my fist and be on the ground, knocked out. He can't use a gun when he's lying on the ground like a stupid hillbilly fool, bleeding from his face, drooling and gagging.

And if he tries to press charges against me, I'll just use the defense that I was defending myself and punched him as he was going for his gun to assault me. Also civil cases aren't easy to win in Texas for aggressors so he can forget about getting too much $$$ from me.
