Sure! I don't do booze so that works out fine. Let's just agree to be differant and tolerate each others choices respectfully! Party on Dudette.

My God, its' worse than you think. I have asked my two hunting dogs to view that YouTube segment with me. They maintain that it doesn't pass the "smell test", and it actually contains a Black Lab wearing a Golden Retriever suit.

The collective will of the people is to back off of your progressive agenda. Will that happen? Hells no. Your guys are going to commit political suicide passing an unpopular measure. Then you have the balls to say, the expression of our collective will. Who's collective will? The minority 22% who approve of Obama leadership. Or is the collective the 78% of people Obama lied to to get into power.
Or is it the percentage of folks like me, who get sick and tired of all the hot air and chest-beating and name -calling, labeling every person who doesn't bow down and kiss your butts fast enough as a liberal...

When are you folks going to realize that all of the above plus a dime won't get you a ride on the subway? I am so utterly sick and tired of all these dire predictions, like the GOP is going do some magic hocus-pocus should they win in 2012, wave a magic wand and say 'Wisho-bango boola-boola-ray we're here to save the USA!!!'

Well, here's a newsflash---It's MY country too, I don't think it's gone anywhere, just one group of folks wants to tell everyone else how to live their lives, and whines constantly because the country isn't being run THEIR way, and anything other than THEIR way is 'socialistic, communistic, liberalistic, terroristic, and any other istic we can conjure up!'

So, know this...we are here, we are vocal, we WILL express ourselves to the best of our ability, and no amount of smart-mouthed snarky remarks will deter us...Evah

I cannot speak about you but I find it very interesting (really I should say hypocritical) that the left wants kumbaya, love a kisses, now that they have started a "party" when they have been rabidly intolerant and disrespectful and downright hateful to the max against decent citizens that have had enough.

H*ll even the radical Vann Jones is spouting his love for Glenn Beck


I think I have it figured out. Liberals are like disruptive children who will keep it up until they get slapped down. The Tea Party movement, liberals and hussein obama sinking in favor across America is the big slap down.

Want a Coffee Party, why not? Go for it but they must remember we will watch our backs. The left is famous being wolfs in sheeps clothing. I would suggest they change their name. I'm sorry but Coffee Party sounds bland and silly. The Tea Party has historical referance.

C'mon I haven't been disrespectful. I've seen a lot of it here from both parties. Honestly I think either one is ridiculous. This whole business of we vs. them isn't getting US anywhere. Do you think I enjoy seeing posts that express the view that "the civil rights act" should never have happened? Or "Blacks were better of under slavery"(as an example). There has to be a middle ground. I offer an olive branch, don't hand me thorns.

You don't have to say it or even imply it. But the corellation is clear. You are quick to point to the "Facebook" roster to clear up any diversity questions about this group but you still won't come forth and acknowledge that the Tea Party shares the same diversity. Pretty simple but you can't bring yourself to say it. Very telling.

Read my first line "I cannot speak for you". I do not know what your opinion is. It was a general opinion about liberals.

I have posted a statement that the blacks may have been better before but not under slavery). Where did I get such an idea? From blacks who were saying backs were better off in the 50s and 60s because families were families and the fathers did not abandon their children. I chose to believe them, considering they should know better then I.

I think it would be foolish for conservatives to let their guard down, even if that is the natural inclination. The left has taken hatefulness to a whole new level. All this overnight "can't we all be friends" "love and kisses" raises the hairs on my arms. You don't changed your colors overnight like that. This could be the liberals Trojan horse. I will approach it with caution.

In a former business my competitor saw me as his worst enemy because I beat him at every turn. He did business in a devious and underhanded (if not illegal) way so it took a lot of creativity to beat his well honed game. He was getting out of control and more frantic so one day I decided to talk to him and make peace. Once on friendly terms, I let my guard down and he cut the rug right out from under me. I learned my lesson when people try to make you believe they changed their spots overnight.

The only thing "telling" here is the fact that you jumped on me for something even you admit I didn't say or imply. I don't have to acknowledge anything about the Tea Party. I wasn't talking about the Tea party. If you're so defensive of the Tea Party appearing as diverse as the Coffee Party seems to be, then why don't you link its FaceBook page here side by side with the Coffee Party's FaceBook page so we can all do a comparison of their fans?

That's the problem with a contrived, manufactured movement - no passion, not "real" and soon to fizzle out.
