My experience with the sort of people who gravitate toward the tea party organizations is that they are counterfeit libertarians. That is: freedom for me, but not for thee, if you're gay, Muslim, atheist, or anything that contradicts their antiquated ideas of God-fearing normalcy.
I do not know what tea party you are speaking to, but it is and relative to Smaller Gov. Lower Taxes and the following the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Vs..:
a Socialist Liberal Democrat which Gov. Controls all walks of life. I find that disturbing and against all things American.
Everyone should concerned about a over reaching President and corrupt politician who has long since forgotten why they were sent to represent their people.
The Tea Party in a sense puts the emphasis on the Constitution and ones rights.
We Tea Party really don't care who you sleep with and what is your back ground. Just stand for America for a Change.
Libs just do not understands the rights we losing on a daily basis.
I'll be sure to keep your requirements in mind whenever I post anything.
Not my requirements. Your response simply made no sense. You responding in a rant to something that had nothing to do with it. He was talking about fair share at all, nor was I.
When did the liberals compromise when Obamacare was being debated?
There were over 161 GOP amendments included in the ACA. And four of the planks of the GOP's 2009 Solutions for America Healthcare Plan were included.
The reason people hate the Tea Party is because you LIE. Democrats lie as well, all politicians lie. But the Tea Party acts as if all of their motives are based on full reasoning of the Constitution, and that reasoning is the only reasoning, which allows for no nuance. That's why you get crap like this:

Government doesn't control all aspects of life, lower taxes is NOT a good solution is all cases, following the Bill of Rights and the Constitution is going to include following the parts you don't like, Socialism is just a political system, and "American" doesn't mean a right-wing American.
If the Tea Party debates with honesty and compromise, people will like their message. When you deal with bumper-sticker ideology and say stuff like "low taxes, constitution, and less gov" people are not going to like that. Don't you guys realize that life is more complicated that one-size-all fits solution?
Oh come on, Wrecking Ball, lets face it you are so dedicated in defending the Presidents Birth place , Kenya, no you mean Hawaii. Sorry it slipped!
That you can not see the other side.
Jokes aside:
Tea Party is Defending our rights thru Citizens, established political dinosaurs and parties. If we do not control our Gov. thru the Constitution we are doomed to have a political system Like Russia.

Also sarcasm doesnt cover ignorance.
Where is it written in the TOS that everything someone says when quoting someone has to be a direct response to the exact context of that quote?
My repsponce was to his statement alone, not the context in which he was replying to you.
Your post that prompted his response was simply irrelevant to me.
The Right is all about (to hear them talk) not leaving debt to 'our grandchildren'.
True, at least for the conservative right. The rino right is only a little bit better than you are.

They seem to have no problem leaving those grandchildren a crumbling country that cannot compete on the world stage because we cheaped-out when it came to maintaining our roads, our ports, our internet, and even our sewers.
And you seem to have no problem with the Democrats racking up 7 trillion dollars in debt during the Obama administration without maintaining our roads, our ports, our internet, or our sewers. That's your problem with your whining. You got your stimulus, you got your trillion dollar deficits, you got your tax hike on the rich and what do you have to show for it? Nothing. You're still crying about the same things you were crying about before. Yet you managed to almost double the national debt in the process.
Quote:
I doubt those grandchildren will be writing any thank you notes.
Of course they won't, because we didn't get what we wanted. The thank-you notes that they won't be writing will be addressed to you, not me. I didn't vote in the government that spent 7 trillion dollars in the past 6 years to accomplish nothing. You did.
kidkaos -- That debt wasn't to pay for new stuff...it was to pay for the old stuff, like two wars off the books. The stimulus did a lot of good...but it wasn't enough to do everything because Congress cheaped out (thanks, GOP!)
I'm not whining; but I'm not happy. Borrowed money is about as cheap as it can be right now when you're talking about a country like ours borrowing to pay for things like infrastructure (which will pay off in the long run *and* be cheaper to build now than even one year from now because prices for goods and labor increase). But the GOP is so risk-adverse that they won't go for borrowing even at .5% interest rates.
It's literally 'penny-wise, pound-foolish' on a national scale.
Attacking me doesn't change the basic situation. We have to pay for what we buy. The GOP doesn't want to.
