The truly ironic thing I see is that the OP is the only poster here who I believe would go to a rally carrying a "The only good Palin is a dead Palin" sign....

 

[California Girl]

I despise ignorant people who get their information from the media instead of proactively studying a topic before forming an 'opinion'.

The HuffPuff.... *Snickers*

Of COURSE! What was I thinking? I'm sure the HuffPo photoshopped all those images.

Liar.

Think? You? The next time you demonstrate the ability to think will be the first.

FYI: Last summer, the HuffPuff had 3000 'citizen journalists' to 'report' on the TEA Parties. They scrapped that little idea because a lot of their 'journalists' admitted to taking their own signs along, photographing themselves as 'TEA Partiers' and flooded the net with them.

That sort of blows any claims of legitimacy regarding images purporting to come from the TEA Parties.

Seems to me, you just 'despise' anyone who disagrees with your moronic 'opinions'.

And this is why the Tea Party will continue to act to protect our liberty, despite all the attacks from the Big Government Cronyists:

Over almost a century, under the influence of the Progressives and their heirs—the proponents of the New Deal, the Great Society, and Barack Obama’s New Foundation we have experienced a gradual consolidation of power in the federal government. Legislative responsibilities have been transferred to administrative agencies lodged within the executive—such as the Environmental Protection Agency, the Federal Communications Commission, and the vast array of bodies established under the recent health-care reform—and these have been delegated in an ever increasing number of spheres the authority to issue rules and regulations that have the force of law.

In the process, the state and local governments have become dependent on federal largesse, which always comes with strings attached in the form of funded or unfunded “mandates” designed to make these governments fall in line with federal policy. Civic agency, rooted as it normally is in locality, has withered as the localities have lost their leverage. The civic associations so admired by Alexis de Tocqueville have for the most part become lobbying operations with offices in Washington focused on influencing federal policy, and many of them have also become recipients of government grants and reliable instruments for the implementation of federal policy.

The Tea Party movement is, however, testimony to the fact that all is not lost. When confronted in a brazen fashion with the tyrannical impulse underpinning the administrative state, ordinary Americans from all walks of life are still capable of fighting back. It is easy enough to mock. Like all spontaneous popular movements, the Tea Party has attracted its fair share of cranks: it would have been a miracle if it had not attracted those who are obsessed with the question of Barack Obama’s birth certificate or the heavy-handed and ineffective procedures adopted by the Transportation Security Agency.

But it should be reassuring rather than frightening to the American elite that at the dawn of the third millennium, Americans know to become nervous and watchful when a presidential candidate who has presented himself to the public as a moderate devotee of bipartisanship intent on eliminating waste in federal programs suddenly endorses “spreading the wealth around” and on the eve of his election speaks of “fundamentally transforming America.” It should be of comfort to them that a small-business owner in Nebraska believes he has reason to express public qualms when a prospective White House chief of staff, in the midst of an economic downturn, announces that the new administration is not about to “let a serious crisis go to waste” and that it intends to exploit that crisis as “an opportunity to do things you couldn’t do before.” And it should be a source of pride to elites that the philosophical superstructure of the United States demonstrated extraordinary durability when a significant number of their fellow citizens refused to sit silent after an administration implied the inadequacy of the founding by promoting itself as the New Foundation, and after the head of government specifically questioned the special place of the United States in the world by denying “American exceptionalism.”

Most important, it should be humbling to those elites that ordinary American citizens choose spontaneously to enter the political arena in droves, concert opposition, speak up in a forthright manner, and oust a host of entrenched office holders when they learn that a system of punitive taxation is in the offing, when they are repeatedly told what they know to be false—that, under the new health-care system that the administration is intent on establishing, benefits will be extended and costs reduced and no one will lose the coverage he already has—and when they discover that Medicare is to be gutted, that medical care is to be rationed, and that citizens who have no desire to purchase health insurance are going to be forced to do so.

In 1776, when George Mason drafted the Virginia Declaration of Rights, he included a provision reflecting what the revolutionaries had learned from the long period of struggle between Court and Country in England and in America: “that no free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue and by frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.” What we are witnessing with the Tea Party movement is one of the periodic recurrences to fundamental principles that typify and revivify the American experiment in self-government....

I think this is good piece, as far it goes, boedicca. The Tea Party had its chance to reject the haters in its midst, and did not.

I appreciate the activism of any American...but for me, the Tea Party boat has long since sailed.

sorry Maddie dear, but you of all people don't have room to talk about REJECTING haters.
And you can turn your nose up at regular American folk in the Tea Party, it don't make no difference to anyone.

now carry on haten.

 

[Madeline]

The left has its haters as well, The Infidel. The animal rights freaks, the environmental nazis, etc. No one has 100% clean hands.

But the Tea Party's leader and spokemen have revived (or invented) racial and religious bigotry, and I find that so much more vile. It's a value judgment on my part, I will admit.

I would join you in hollaring down the house for fiscal restraint, but not at the expense of the peace and dignity of my neighbors.

So sorry if you were really upset by the thread. Yanno I am fond of you.

"Heeeeyyyyyyy!!!!!!"

The thread is a little offensive Maddy, and extremely hypocritical.

I still love you

 

[Stephanie]

Who's upset with the thread, ANYONE?

I found it rather zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

just another same ole same ole SHIT.

 

[Anachronism]

Madeline,

I haven't been around here long enough to know where you sit on the Political spectrum. In reality it doesn't really matter to me or to the arguement that I'm about to make related to your OP in this thread.....

You want to see the Tea Party "chastized" for its "Racist" elements. Ok, I can actually agree with you there. HOWEVER, I hope that you would also want both Major Political Parties to address similar radical groups in their midst.... like the members of the radical Green, Anti-Gun and Socialist movements in the Democratic Party. Or do you only want to see ONE side forced to "discipline" their members.

I am not a member of any political party. Personally I don't believe we should allow political parties in the United States. If we do, and if we wish to end these sorts of "problems" there is only ONE way to do it....

Implement a completely and totally illegal form of limitation on ALL political candidates..... Force them to stop making ANY comments (positive or negative) about anyone other than themselves in any form during the campaign.

For example:

ALLOWED:
I am a Strong Proponent of the Second Amendment.
I have voted to protect your Right to Keep and Bear Arms
I will vote to protect your Right to Keep and Bear Arms

NOT ALLOWED:
My opponent is Not a Strong Proponent of the Second Amendment
My opponent is Strongly Against the Second Amendment
I am a Stronger Proponent of the Second Amendment than my opponent is.

Until and unless that form of unConstitutional campaign reform is put into place, people are going to attack their political enemies. It's just a fact of life. Some people like that and some of us don't. That's a personal opinion.

Im not going to sit back and just let you denegrate my beliefs.... The Tea Party is not a hate group, nor do they hate Obama because of his race...... ITS HIS IDEOLOGY we hate... not him!

I believe he is violating his oath to protect the Constitution and I and all my Tea Party brothers and sisters do not hate anybody.

WE NEED TO GET BACK TO COMMON SENSE.... POLITICAL CORRECTNESS SHOULD BE SHUNNED.

We are losing the very basis of our nation, and for you to brush me and my friends with the paint you spread of hate in that thread..... well, Im dissapointed, thats all.
