Survey- Ignorance and divisive propaganda lead to Tea Party...

[Luddly Neddite]

When The Tea Party first appeared, I had high hopes. I liked what I was hearing and was ready to climb on board.

Then they sold out. They have become the Stupidest Wing Of The Party Of Stupid. They're actually proud to be owned and operated by Koch's, Rove and $tupid $arah. They brag about voting aainst their own best interests, the best interests of their children and of their country. They don't think for themselves and think wearing silly hats makes up for their complete and total abandonment of everything the US was founded on.

They are willfully ignorant of and completely against the constitution they say they love. They're here every day, spouting about what the founding fathers really meant and its obvious they haven't a frikken clue.

How many times do we read them here, braying that their First Amendment Rights have been stolen from them? It is so prevalent that I added special instructions in my signature - just for those who don't understand those all-important first five words.

Indeed, all they know is the Second Amendment and the damn fools get that wrong too.

They celebrate that their "elected" representatives do not represent them. They are in favor of blatant voter suppression, vote theft and gerrymandering to the point that Republicans don't even have to show up in their district to get re-elected. They are happy that they could stay home from the polls and their "representative" would still get "voted" back into their perpetual vacations.

They have become the tee potty and anyone who doubts that only has to read the posts on this board. This board is mostly posts devoted to the useless, thankless, endless and impossible job of educating those who value ignorance over and above education, science, individual thought and ideas.

The founding fathers these ignorant fools are so quick to quote are rolling in their graves.

The results of the study, which draws from data on the number of tea party organizations in counties across America and Census Bureau information on county-wide educational segregation, showed that the distribution of college-educated individuals play a role in tea party support. The report also notes that educated, white, middle class Republicans are more likely to support the tea party regardless of educational segregation in their county, although educational segregation exacerbates this likelihood.

Which comes as no surprise given the fact that the 'tea party' and republicans are in essence the same - indeed, there is no 'tea party.'

The Republican party is dead.

And you guys have your own set of jokers, not the least of which being the POTUS himself. Both parties need to die.

This response is getting a high number of "likes":

Actually, college graduates are more likely to support Tea Party ideas because they are educated and understand the issues.

Followed by typical Liberal FAIL responses.

They may receive "likes" but not becaue they understand the issues. Case in point: Cuting taxes, cutting spending and cutting government is not the best way to repair the roof (the roof in this case is our nation's infrastructure).

Bullshit!

You can cut down the size of government without harming the infrastructure. You can cut spending too. Take the EPA for example, that should be relegated to the states freeing up federal dollars, the same with the department of education, the department of energy, the department of agriculture, department of transportation and the department of labor.

Read Tom Coburn's "Wastebook" and see how much money is simply wasted in this country and then tell me that spending cuts will affect infrastructure.

Bullshit? Let's think about the solution some advocate to allow states to make most of the decisions. Consider Brown v. Board of Ed. as our first example. Why was this needed? Do you believe racism today is less intense then it was in the 1950's?

Consider the EPA, rivers and air move freely across State Lines, do you believe every state will be a responsible neighbor?

What of all those factory outlet pipes, once used to dispose of waste - sometime very hazardous waste - all along the major US Rivers. Will states enforce the laws, or will the laws be different in each state?

Condsider the Dept. of Agriculture, do you believe food products regulated by states will always be inspected as safe for export?

How about health care, do you believe each state will take care of their own, or will mass migrations be the new normal and conservative states will patient dump the poor, aged and infirm across state lines (years ago FBI rap sheets showing arrests in the South had this notation: Offense: Burglary, auto theft or battery. Disposition: Floater. Floater was the term used when the offender was taken to the county or state line and told "don't come back").

There's a reason Congress passed legislation to regulate commerce on a Federal Level. Consider to the national highway system, will each state continue to maintain them? Will they remain free or will we pay a toll each time we enter a different town, city, county and state? How will such effect costs of products, even rail may well be a source of coin for local governments.

Yes I believe states will do the responsible thing in every one of your questions.

Think about it logically, if you can.

Take the Dept. of Ag for example, if a state allowed for unsafe products to be distributed then the state would ultimately suffer. First through law suits then through loss of trust leading to loss of sales thus loss of revenue. Not only for the state but those that grow the produce or livestock.

You seem to think some states are barbaric and won't do what's good for it's citizenry.

Who maintains the roads and freeways in your state? Have you ever seen a federal highway department? Here in Texas the Texas Highway Dept. is responsible for all the interstate roads, the county is responsible for county roads and the city is responsible for their roads.

No road is free.

Great, a typical response which leaves out one very critical element - how many people might suffer or die before such an 'accident' occurred? And, what then, were sorry, we'll pay restitution to the victims and revamp our policies/practices (until next time).

You seem to think some states are barbaric and won't do what's good for it's citizenry.

History suggests this to be true. Look at Prop. 8 in CA. Look at segregation and Jim Crow laws in the South, look at how some Governors rejected the PPACA and how it harmed its citizens.

Who maintains the roads and freeways in your state? Have you ever seen a federal highway department? Here in Texas the Texas Highway Dept. is responsible for all the interstate roads, the county is responsible for county roads and the city is responsible for their roads.

Revenue sharing pays for the Texas Highway Dept to maintain the roads. One assumes a State will need to fund such work as Texans (and others) feel accepting funds which come with regulations impacts negatively their liberty.

No road is free.

And no Federal money given via revenue sharing comes without strings attacked.

You too? Since I'm not a republican, you would be wrong.

Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, is all I'm saying.

Researchers Think They Know Why College-Educated People Support The Tea Party

you can't get more divisive than posting than this

good OLE HUFFERPUFFER and notice the Researchers THINK THEY KNOW
