It's all about the "Real America" which is that Ozzie and Harriet Land where there were no minorities

I think it's a pretty good x-ray, myself. What parts of it do you deny are true?
"The flimsy and contradictory policy arguments only make the winking racial subtext more obvious.

"For instance, the president cut taxes for the middle class. According to the CBO, a full third of the projected national debt -- $3 trillion over the next 10 years -- is due to the president retaining middle class tax cuts and rolling back the alternative minimum tax so it doesn't absorb middle class earners. Tax cuts. So how, then, can the tea party reasonably claim that President Obama is all about taxing the middle class 'to death,' as some e-mailers argued?"

another huffer trying to use their post as some sort of proof. It's like announcing to the world that you're damn proud to be in the bottom third. To each their own, though.

Unfortunate the GOP feels obliged to pander to this segment of America unwilling to be Americans. Desperate stuff. The only thing Tea is accomplishing is destroying whatever high road the GOP had to take.

that's exactly what I was thinking, and just about everytime I hear a conservative talk...atleast the Staunch conservatives. They have this fear that minorities are starting to take over the country, but never raised a word when they were recruited to work the farms at lower wages then they would ever work for.

Teabaggers need to get a life and realize that this country IS turning brown, and they should welcome the "new" immigrants as much as they did the Italians, the Irish and whoever came after the Puritans did.

I remember hearing Pat Buchanan say that America was great in the 50s...gee wasn't that when blacks and other minorities HAD no rights at all?


I'm not saying that they are racist, but damn if they don't sound as if they're omitting that so they won't catch any flack. I do call them by that so-called degrading name because they are splintered group who will never get together no matter how much the government makes them bend over. They have no concrete agenda, some members have to be racists because of the flyers I've seen at gatherings. I thought most of them were people from the Middle class, until I saw a lady in a Bentley with a TEA Party Sticker on her bumper.

Much like the picture of the tard that wrote this article (go ahead and look at his picture and honestly tell me that is someone you would trust to do anything more than bag your groceries), here is your average huffer's post reader/believer. I'm sure they won't get it either.

Yup, exactly.... while the Taliban want the world to look like "700 AD", the 'Wingers & Fundies want it to look like "O & H, circa 1955". Too bad we can't lock 'em both up in a room together, and maybe they could meet each other "halfway". Then that would put them both at about the time of the Crusades... perfect!
