No, Jadex, it is for this thread. That is a lovely attempt to deflect. I applaud your stage performance.
If the tea party is for these things than they must obviously believe that it is not being followed now. The extremism is an extension of the inability to articulate what the problem is and to address the problem within the framework of the constitution. THIS IS WHY.
So.....because the message isn't clear enough for you, that equates to "extremism"; seriously? Using your logic, everytime Obama goes off teleprompter I can hardly understand a thing he says, so he too must be extreme. Surely you can do better than that.
I take it you have not ran into the "Not ratified" crowd then.
Sure, and I've also run into the HAARP crowd, the 9/11-was-an-inside-job crowd, the moon landing hoax crowd, etc.
You questioned my statement that nobody with authority inside the Tea Party movement was advocating the repeal of the 16th Amendment. Name names, and also list their connection to the movement. I've been to a number of Tea Party gatherings, and it was never on the agenda - not once.
Your 16th Amendment argument fell flat on its face with the first response to your post. You can be a man and admit that you were wrong, or you can keep pretending that you're not. Either way, it doesn't matter to me. You're the one at risk of making a fool of yourself.

Text & History » Strange Brew: The Tea Party (http://theusconstitution.org/blog.history/?p=1857 - broken link)
The Tea Party consists of Birthers, people who want to take the country back, people who get upset over everything Obama does (even though he's not the first to do it), people who listen to sound bytes on the Glenn Beck show and take it for the gospel, people who fantasize about shooting up abortion clinics, people who say that the president of the USA is sympathetic to Muslim fundamentalists and that he hates America, people who want the president impeached and people who have delusions about their state seceding from the union. Those are extremist views. If you don't fall into one of those categories, you may as well because if you are at a Tea Party gathering, you're standing next to someone who does.
For someone that goes by the name, "Factsplease," you sure don't seem very interested in them.
I think this is the second time I've voiced that observation. Two strikes and you're out - welcome to ignore.
Yeah, like trying something that has failed for centuries is a smart thing to do. Stupidity is this administration's middle name. They are putting us on a path of failed economic principles proven to fail for centuries. That is the very definition of STUPIDITY!
And what principles are those exactly that have failed for centuries?
Just google "stop ground zero mosque" and you will get the picture and if you are too lazy to do that. Then Tea Party Patriots | Stop the Ground Zero Mosque! (http://www.teapartypatriots.org/BlogPostView.aspx?id=1a6927a7-f934-471c-8253-5a9cc5f28038 - broken link)
Again, it was you, not me that used the word vast and you also said they advocated unconstitutional methods; I'm still waiting for evidence of either hyperbolic claim. The fact that you're a student and tomorrows future greatly concerns me. I've got a challenge for you: the next time your Marxist Sociology 101 professor talks about "diversity", I dare you to ask him/her how many conservatives are in the Sociology department, and when he/she responds "none" ask them why diversity doesn't apply to them? Question liberal authority, don't be a lemming. You'll be the better for it.
Tea bagging hasn't been about any of that, it is all about power grab. The constitution is just fine, the government could be better but the tea baggers are hell bent on extremism, a step towards fascism masquerading as "patriots" (Hitler did that). Don't believe me? Don't. You just might catchup with the realities someday.
I gather Tea bagging is the derogatory term used for your sexual preferences since you say it so much. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
You ignored the OP and didn't say anything of substance, you just babbled. I guess because you said so it must be true.

Look I gave you an example from a well established Tea party website and the instructions on how to gather more information for yourself. I do not have time to spoon feed it to you.
BTW I am many things, but a Marxist isn't one of them. I also think its entertaining how much you assume about me and my life.
