Ummm, duh?? They're like the Aryan Nation of Black Americans, so I wouldn't exactly say they represent the ethnic group as a whole.

For the record, I don't find those "slurs" offensive... they're more funny, and I don't know any white people who'd honestly be offended by them. Well, pig wasn't nice, but the rest are just plain silly.

I don’t look at it as opposing their freedom of choice only criticizing a bad decision. A decision that is self-destructive in nature. My point of view is very different than yours so we’ll never see eye to eye on this. The TP is more than just small government, less taxes and the constitution and you know that!

I’m not for less government but more efficient government. I’m for a government that takes care of its vulnerable, regulates commerce, ensures consumer protections, creates fare laws, and protects its boarders.

Then I am right. You are opposing their freedom of choice and freedom of expression which is their Constitutional right. The Tea Party is about small government, less taxes and upholding the Constitution. That is why Tea Party candidates overwhelmingly unseated democrats during the 2010 mid term elections. The American people made their choice and exercised their Constitutional freedom of expression and rejected Obama's economic ideology and policies at the polls. Are you for less government like slashing bureaucratic red tape, unnecessary regulations and government entitlement programs?

Why not for less efficient government? Who are the vunerable? The Tea Party is for fair laws and protection of the borders. Now answer this. You say "The TP is more than just small government, less taxes and the Constitution and you know that!". Elaborate on what you are implying please and answer the other questions I presented to you. Thanks.

[quote=SHABAZZ310;23839124]Yes I do oppose blacks from joining the TP. But it doesn’t create division. What creates division is these Tea Baggers spewing hate and opposing Obama not because of his positions but because of his race. Gee, there whole purpose was to take America back.

Where do you get this drivel? Whoever you are listening to is lying to you.
Take America back, means to we the people, from this evermore oppressive gov't. The gov't is way to big. We give the gov't our money so it can waste most of it, disperse it to their friends, line their own pockets, party hardy, make bad investments such as Solyndra and green energy, and send it to other countries. We want lower taxes, smaller govt, and less gov't interference in our lives. It has nothing to do with race. It's about America. Quit trying to separate yourselves from the rest of this country. You wanted integration, so damnit intergrate and help us regain our strength, so we can all benefit.

TeaParty Ted:

Do you consider yourself a part of the tea party? Because they do stand for LESS government, less taxes, less interference. Government is inefficient by it's very nature. People with skin in the game are efficient. When it's your money, you pay attention to how it's spent, you are held accountable. Gov't has no accountability and no reason to be efficient.

our quotes are getting all screwed up

Of course I am a part of the Tea Party. I am for less taxes, governmental interference, cutting out useless entitlement programs and getting rid of useless regulations in the oil and gas industry that will free up the industry to build more refineries and so America drill for more oil and gas. There is to much of a stranglehold on American businesses. Those initiatives will create more jobs in the United States. I am what you would consider a pro Constitutionalist.

P.S.....Yes the Shabazz poster screwed up the quotes when posting. I think that is where you got confused. I was trying to do my best addressing his posts.

for your review


as for Trinity, this is from their site.

THEY AREN'T AFRICAN, they are Americans, whether they like it or not.
They are primarily Americans of African descent. They should have as much right to celebrate their ancestry and traditions in their worship services as other Americans.

There was an investigation. There was judgement against the NBPP, even though no intimidated voter was ever produced.
