Where was this train of thought the last eight years when we needed it more than ever. People just find it funny that as soon as we get a African American President, now all of a sudden everyone wants to be a politician and policy checker. The tea party was nothing more than a waste of time and money. It was nothing more than a show of the people that the rest of America will have to worry about in the event they become out of control. The amount of people who attended nationwide was less than 1million (300million population)

Obama hasn't raised anyone's taxes (you actually got a tax break). You "Tea Party" "Obama Haters", are doing nothing more than than drawing a really heated split between yourself and the rest of America. Last time things were getting this bad, the only way to end it was...... Well you all know, lets be carefull not to head down that path, because you are severely outnumbered.

We all know that the majority of you are mad because we have and African American President (mixed). Get over it. We live in a democracy, a vote was cast, and the Majority has spoken. Don't get yourself in something that you think you are ready for. The South thought they could beat the North, and you see where that got them. We are all Americans, so calm down, and give OUR President the respect he deserves.

My Dear, the "experts on everything" are more than prepared to explain to a hen how to lay an egg.

Judging from the Affirmative Action President's cabinet picks, none of the liberal freaks pay taxes.

LMAO, you have GOT to be kidding...your not are you? Far left idealoges have used children a political pawns to obscene levels before. Like the grade school teacher that made the headlines with the 'Obama...Our Leader' song that she had her class sing as an 'educational' project.. If they ARE unemployed, well they paid their dues to draw unemployment, did they not? As far as 'not caring about their kids education" what the public schools are cramming down our kids throats these days (see point #1) can hardly be considered 'education' anyway.

I think both sides have used kids, but I still don't think it's appropriate.

Unemployment insurance is funded by taxes. This was supposed to be a taxpayer's revolt, no?

Unemployment benefits - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

BTW, if you want to get a crowd, look at this one, twice as large as the Denver "tea party".

Thousands fill CU's Norlin Quad with smoke for 4/20 : CU News : Boulder Daily Camera (http://www.dailycamera.com/news/2009/apr/20/420-cu-colorado-boulder-marijuana-pot-smoke-out/ - broken link)

"Although CU officials have not yet released an estimate of the crowd's size, observers said it appeared today's 4/20 gathering was larger than last year's, which drew more than 10,000 people."

Well then don't insult other people's parenting if they choose to educate their children in other ways besides cnn and what the teacher tells them at school.

So they have college degrees. Nice.

Doesn't mean they know anything about our countries history or playing a role in having a public voice.

There are soooo many things incorrect with the above that it's hard to know where to start. As for the "we all know" the "we all" must be a really,really small group (like 3-4 on cd and at CNN/MSNBC)...
It seems you're reading from the dailykos or mediamatters and painting everyone with a very,very broad (racist) brush. Is that really the best you can do, insult everyone? How about trying some intellegent debate with FACTS.
Yes Obama was voted in and your point is what exactly? Just because he got voted in doesn't give him a pass to do as he wishes without complaint from the public if they (you know the people who have to actually pay for it) don't agree.
8 years of Bush was not good, not good at all but then to compound it with what's happened since November was the final straw.
AIG and the banks (don't you DARE try and lay that back on the last administration, congress and Obama could have said NO to the bailouts and bonus) as for respect, he'll get it when he earns it just like everyone else I know not just because he had enough $$$$ to get elected. Btw, I respect the office, the man/woman in it is another thing altogether.
Again, Obama and congress have spent trillions and unless think we can just ignore it like many do with credit card debt it HAS TO BE PAID BACK. So you tell me since you're putting yourself out there as all knowing, how exactly is it going to BE paid back? Hmmmmm?
I'm waiting......

You know, I should just ignore you, but like most parents, it really p***** me off when you criticize my kids. You don't know them (or me) from a hill of beans. You'd be surprised what they know about "our country's history"; I'd be willing to be more than you do, so just lay off, pal.

I never said lunatics just partisan Republicans. And no, for the record, I am not a Democrat. I also believe our founding fathers didn't exclude anyone unlike these current ones.
