This forum has the tea party all wrong.

[Buford]

Is this where all the Tea Party people are supposed to post?

 

[Firehorse]

That is the forums name, but it's usually used to try to poke fun at us or to generally ignore facts in an effort to try to tell us that ...

1. The Tea Party is dead (dispite our resent successes)
2. The Tea Party is nothing but a part of the 'Pubs party (dispite our resent actions to the contrary)
3. The Tea Party is not in touch with the real america (dispite the fact the we ARE the real America)
4. That the Tea Party can't do anything with real meaning because they lack a real goal (which is not true, we have a stake and a role in every election as shown in the dem blood bath of '10 midterms)
5. That we are only out for Obama (this is in part true, but to real key to fixing the problems this country faces rests in the Senate ... Though obviously, we must not forget about the pres)

That was a point well taken, but I was constrained by not being able to post urls. Okay, that is not the issue. In my experience, the Tea Party would invite a militia group in and once the militia members were participating on the discussion board, the Tea Party would kick the militia organization itself out, siphoning off as many members as they could.

What they were really after was the most radical and racist elements they could find. When I "called" them out on a Tea Party discussion board over a racist sign, the proceeded to treat me like the militia organizations - kicked to the curb in 10 seconds flat.

Yeah, I know the link... unfortunately I had to find it by way of a left promo, but it is what I saw and what we argued over. I demanded to know why the Tea Partiers weren't feed this guy his sign:

"This Sign Is The Brownest Thing On the Entire Block

TEA PARTY RACISM: What The Media Won't Show You About Teabagger Racism - YouTube

Check it out at 3: 39 seconds into the video (Actually most of the signs are funny and true), but the one was overtly racist and the Tea Party cheered... if they weren't racists, they would have ripped that sign up and invited the redneck to run for his life.

By kicking me out of their little tree house club, that action spoke volumes.

I am not a particularly active member of the TEA Party. Their main point is the one that attracts me, though. The government is peopled with conniving thieves and we as the governed populace need to eject the conniving thieves and take back the country.

This general thought process attracts plenty of people with an ax to grind.

I really don't care about race, gender, sex, religion or anything else you might care to throw up as a diversion. If you want to change or remove your organs in a religious ceremony with a diverse group of all genders, that's dandy. Pay for it yourself and leave me the hell alone.

The government is too costly, especially in view of what they deliver at the expense demanded.

I'm sick of it. I really feel the the government in Washington needs to be dialed back to about the size it was in 1950. There was plenty of power there then and it was dirty enough so Frank Kapra was making movies about it.

There would still be enough corruption to satisfy those who need it to live, but at least it wouldn't cost the rest of so much to support the lying thieves who live to act like kings on our dime.

Bring my government home to me where I can look into the eyes of the lying thieves and vote him out because i can see he's a lying thief up close and personal.

I think one sentence summed up where you and I have a really strong agreement. You wrote: "The government is too costly, especially in view of what they deliver at the expense demanded."

I would be for any political effort to reduce the size, power and scope of government. Throughout much of the 1980s and 1990s I worked hard at reducing government and promoting privacy Rights. I tried to expand on the Privacy Act of 1974 to eliminate the need for the SSN and in the 1980s was involved in court cases against the income tax.

Great strides were being made to get rid of such agencies like the IRS and the Federal Reserve (among others.) In 2003, Jim Gilchrist revived the old K.K.K. Border Patrol idea and the right (especially the Tea Party) jumped onto the anti - immigrant / National Socialist bandwagon.

While the Tea Party talked of reducing taxes, they backed the anti - immigrant / National Socialist policies that created the Dept. of Homeland (IN) Security at a cost so far of upward of a TRILLION DOLLARS so far.

In doing so, the Tea Party has attacked your Right to Privacy, instituted National ID / REAL ID Act, and destroyed the unalienable Rights of the American people. BEFORE the Tea Party and the Minutemen, the constitutionalists were making great strides at eliminating government agencies and reducing the size, power and scope of government. AFTER the anti immigrant efforts (which are supported by the Tea Party), we have the so - called "Patriot Act" (which nullified the Bill of Rights); we have a Hitler inspired National ID / REAL ID Act to promote a socialist agenda; we have dimwits lobbying to spend TRILLIONS on a wall around America (as if foreigners are too stupid to build a freaking tunnel.)

When you get down to the nitty gritty of it, Obama spent more money during his term of office than all other presidents combined! The flip side to that, Obama merely signed off on legislation, three quarters of which was proposed by people sympathetic to "Tea Party" principles. The Tea Party has endorsed more waste and done so on political arguments that wouldn't fool a fifth grader.

What's a national ID? I don't seem to have one nor have I ever heard of one nor have I ever been compelled to get one. Am I to be rounded up as I don't have my papers in order?

Was the Department of Homeland Security a product of the TEA Party or a response to the 9/11 attacks? I don't think the TEA party was really very active at the time of the 9/11 attacks, was it?

As far as your ranting in regard to the deletion of rights, anything under the Bush administration pales in comparison to what the Big 0 has done. It's really been quite amazing and very scary.

 

[Annie]

Very funny stuff ... We are out of touch with the youth and black America .... We are however in touch with successful Americans and know what needs to be done to make the optimum number Americans to join the 'successful anericans' group .... You can thank us later for returning your freedoms and future.

You are out of touch with the Constitution and its case law, the rule of law, and the fact it is impossible to return to an idealized American past that never existed to begin with.

And in your reactionary zeal to drag American back to the Dark Ages you’ll succeed only in destroying our individual liberties and the future of this Nation.

Cool, explain exactly how. What 'idealized past' are the tea parties trying to go back to? Cite examples.

Or could this just be a lede into how Hitler and the tea parties are one in the same? How fukin original you are. Not.

Still waiting. . .

You, like everyone else has a National ID card. In Georgia, they don't even hide it. Your supposed driver's license application tells you on the form it is an application for an Identity Card. You simply need to read up on the REAL ID Act and how society now demands your SSN as identification.

No, the Dept. of Homeland Security and the so - called "Patriot Act" were on the drawing board YEARS before 9 / 11. The 9/ 11 event simply gave Congress a pretext to start dismantling the Constitution.

The so - called "Patriot Act" would have expired TWICE had it not been for the endorsements of people like Glenn Beck and Sean Vanity Hannity. Both of those men were instrumental for the Tea Party's initial successes.

Obama can do something worse that forcing us to use the Socialist Surveillance Number of all our financial transactions; Obama can do worse than a repeal of the Bill of Rights? Obama's going to do something worse than both of those things PLUS wage a war against Due Process and the presumption of innocence???? What's that going to be?

 

[JakeStarkey]

Listening to the far reactionary right wacks here makes one realize how irrelevant the TP movement has become.

 

[chanel]

Listening to the far left progressive wacks in the media makes one realize how relevant the TP movement has remained. Despite the trashing of the TP vs. the lionizing of OWS, their favorable/unfavorable ratings are not too far apart.

 

[JakeStarkey]

I agree that the TP movement's ratings continue to demonstrate its unpopularity.

One thing I will give both OWS and TP is that the true Americans among them espouse populist causes.

The problem is, as I see it, too many people are willing to jump onto a bandwagon that sounds good, but is merely building an ideology around what sounds popular.

When the group starts developing policies that cancel each other out and allowing themselves to be taken over by the mainstream, they cease to be relevant. They may get a candidate here or there to carry their banner... but when that candidate is able to give the Tea Party the big Screw U, they'll do it - much the way the Tea Party did to organizations they screwed on their way to the mainstream.

I'm guessing you're a frequent visitor to the conspiracy portion of this board.

The portion highlighted in red above is the SOP of this administration. Obama and his DOJ have routinely ignored court rulings, used intimidation tactics on individuals and companies alike and are in truth abusing the citizenry of the country for their own politcal goals.

It's a disgrace.

He's (Obama) targeted insurers, oil firms and Wall Street—letting it be known that those who oppose his policies might face political or legislative retribution. He lectured the Supreme Court for giving companies more free speech and (falsely) accused the Chamber of Commerce of using foreign money to bankroll U.S. elections. The White House even ginned up an executive order (yet to be released) to require companies to list political donations as a condition of bidding for government contracts. Companies could bid but lose out for donating to Republicans. Or they could quit donating to the GOP—Mr. Obama's real aim.

The TEA party is not a party per se, but rather a movement.

There are whackos, to be sure that attach to this, but the driving force is to reduce the expense, power, reach and intrusion of the Federal Government.

As people are elected to do this, they will be turned out if they don't comply.

Actually I've never been in the conspiracy section of this forum. I have worked in immigration law for six years, was involved in court-room battles against National ID and the forced use of the SSN as identification going back to the 1980s. I fought the so - called "Patriot Act" and won and headed up a legal research team that had a win in the United States Supreme Court dealing with the income tax.

I personally have nothing to do with Barack Obama, liberals and have never voted for a Democrat in my life. In one thread I participated in, one poster called me a liberal and then quoted the ACLU and the Obama administration to attempt to "prove" me wrong.

Let me make two things abundantly clear to you: I'm not a liberal and secondly, I don't give rat's rear about what label you hide behind: if you attack the Constitution, regardless of the pretext, I will comment on it. The reality is, those making up the Tea Party endorse and hide behind the people that have passed all the unconstitutional legislation, save of Obamacare, over the last decade.

Trying to paint people that are opposed to turning America into the ultimate POLICE STATE by calling them liberal is doing yourself an injustice. In a constitutional Republic such as ours, the military is prohibited from engaging in domestic law enforcement. But, what the hell. If calling someone a liberal helps get socialist legislation passed, what's wrong with bending the hell out of truth? Right?

AK-47, nope they prefer M-16, yet their agenda is not about guns (let the NRA worry about that), it's about making America a becoming more business friendly via less regulation, less taxation and less spending. Big distinction from the Taliban

Tea Partiers don't hate the President they hate his policies. The Taliban is all about big government and controlling the people (they like Obama's policies to that extent). TP is much different than that Taliban.

Tea Party is most made of middle class average Americans, some religious and some not. Religion isn't their main theme. Much different that the Taliban. Most Tea Partiers are Christian, while the Taliban are Devil Worshipping Muslims. Another distinction!

Part of how I define a Conservative, not a Republican, a Conservative, is that they are constructionists. If anyone is working to undermine the Constitution or adding things to it that simply are not there, by definition they are applying Liberal interpretations and therefore are not Conservatives.

I am not familiar with the particualr and specific things that you are citing. You say that a Driver's license is a national ID and then say you fought against it and it's not.

Which is it?

You say there is a national ID and yet the Political Left of the country is fighting mightily to avoid having even a local ID to identify voters. Are they stupidly incompetent or is this thing you describe non existant?

I believe that you are saying what you think is true, but what you are saying is confusing and contradictory.

Well you're kinda right about a couple of things..guns..yep..Tea partiers like different guns. And the Taliban..they are a different flavor of the same religion.

But both want the same thing. A government ruled by religion.

Lets go back in time a bit...

This is what started the present Tea Party:
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEZB4taSEoA]Rick Santelli and the "Rant of the Year" - YouTube[/ame]

It was a rant about the possible government bail out of mortgages. That never happened.

Then FOX promoted the Tea Party rallies.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FglAFOF1inI]Tea Party Express - National Tour Promo Video - YouTube[/ame]

People like Bachmann..started spreading lies to scare people like "Death panels".

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNMXmRGE7t0]Bachmann 9.09 Newsmax - Death Panels - YouTube[/ame]

Which was total bullshit.

Once tea partiers made it in to congress..they almost completely shut it down. And the bills they tried to pass had nothing to do with jobs. They did have everything to do with making abortions illegal, killing SSI, and killing medicare.
