So what is this....fighting back against the tea parties? Oh we are full on in stage 3 of Ghandi's 4 steps. "First they ignore you(last april's tea parties), then they laugh at you(last august through this april), then they fight you (this kind of stuff), then you win (November 2010 here we come).


Kudos for giving us more legitmacy progressives

The Tea party is a grassroots movement not a bunch of union thugs and minority misfits. Basically they're a joke out to save their jobs and entitlements. They are not and never will be for what's in the best interest of this nation. In other words, they wouldn't make a pimple on a tea partiers ass.

 

[daveman]

Yeah, because the Coffee Party worked so well.

Among the groups involved are the National Council of La Raza, the Service Employees International Union, the NAACP, the AFL-CIO, and the United States Student Association.

La Raza and the NAACP, hmmm. I look forward to finding out what my place is in this "One Nation" they're planning. Thank God the conservatives don't just admit it's about race and advocate directly for whites... because furiously sputtering behind lame proxies like "freedom" has really been working pretty well. And I'm sure that when whites are in the minority, it will continue to be a winning strategy.

No. One nation under stupidity.

If they want to co opt the message, they need to listen to the message.

And if they listened in the first place, there would be no tea party.

"President Eisenhower describes his administration's political philosophy as 'dynamic conservatism,' then as 'progressive, dynamic conservatism,' then as 'progressive moderation,' then as 'moderate progressivism,' and then as 'positive progressivism.'" William Manchester

Always amazes me how the republican party has swung so far right, the tea party are just whining losers, hopefully there will be some progressive ideas and hope in the progressive movement. http://www.usmessageboard.com/tea-party/116607-would-the-tea-party-exist.html



"The peculiar internal tension of liberal constitutions is that they constrain power even as they authorize it—that is, they attempt to curb the despotic power and ambitions of individual rulers and officials and, by doing so, to permit stronger systemic capacities." Paul Starr in 'Freedom's Power'

The tea parties interests are simple:

1) Smaller, less intrusive government
2) A government that lives within its means and not using defecit spending to accomplish goals.
3) Balanced budgets through spending cuts and shrinking the size/scope of government instead of by raising taxes.


Those 3 things ARE in the best interests of the nation....what did you think the tea parties are about?
