The tea party is the wrong way

[ScienceRocks]

I believe the tea party's belief in anarchism and libertinism is bad for our country. My belief is that we already walked down this road during the 19th into the early 20th century blindly accepting the ugly face of capitalism without regulations.

1. We're all better off with a government that we vote for regulating and preventing monopolies within the private sector.
2. We're all better off with clean air and water standards that are world renown....Most of the world want to be here!
3. We're all better off with a minimum wage. I understand that a business must be profitable, but if they're not profitable at the point of allowing a person to eat a meal??? What kind of country are we??? The right to union and the minimum wage was the reason behind the large middle class of the mid 20th century. Do you really want to go back to the early 20th century??? MEXICO, anyone??? Vote tea party for mexico! And, no I don't believe we should pay people 20 bucks per hour as it would do great harm. This is called economics!
4. We wouldn't have computers, railways, highways, freeways or much of the overall infrastructure of civilization if it wasn't for government. Time to get serious! Time to spend some serious bucks on what's important.
5. The nws, nasa, cdc, fda, nsf, etc all make us the evy of the world when it comes to science. No way in hell can the private sector do what the nws does and be as open as they're. Thousands of people a year saved from live threaten weather events that would like wise die.
6. Every child should have exist to public education!


I propose waking up and smelling the coffee. I rather enjoy civilization! Once you do, well, see to it that the public sector has its place in our society.

 

[Avorysuds]

You're dumb.

 

[Ibentoken]

The Tea Party supports constitutional government. That's the American way.

 

[ScienceRocks]

The tea party is for turning this country into a third world shit hole.

 

[ScienceRocks]

You're dumb.

You're stone age savage. now go fuck yourself!

 

[ScienceRocks]

The tea party has a lot of the same goals as the taliban and ISIS! They hate civilization!

 

[ScienceRocks]

Tell me, assholes. How is being a first world country with programs in science that are the envy of the world = unconstitional. Cave trolls? You do know that some of the founders would disagree with you?

 

[TheJedi]

The Tea Party supports constitutional government. That's the American way.

If this is the case, then why are they against gay marriage? Why do they continually espouse ideals that seek to curtail or outright restrict the rights of certain Americans? Why do they keep trying to inject Christianity into government when the founding fathers clearly, according to Thomas Jefferson, erected a wall of separation between Church and State?

The Tea-tart's relationship with the Constitution is the same as many Christians with the bible. That being they pick and choose what they like and dismiss the rest in order to forward an agenda of hatred and intolerance. Then they wrap it up in the flag and call it patriotism. There is a reason the term American Taliban still floats around today.

This is called hypocrisy.

If you have faith in the people, the Tea Party is obsolete. I say, "United We Stand".

Nothing about the Tea Parties platform stick out except for "Free Market". A basic profit driven concept that spits in the face of the Constitution under the Commerce clause.

But they sell themselves as Constitutionalists. They are really weak minded drones listening to profit driven media that tell them how to make more profit for Corporations.

 

[TheOldSchool]

Damn matthew. I think I'm a tea partier now.

 

[ScienceRocks]

Just say no to the anti-civilization types. They really don't know shit about the constitution. The constitution allows for a nws, nhc, fda, central bank, epa, educational system.

The tea party wants us to become haiti! All my friends that are pro-civilization and science better vote sanity in 2014 and 2016!

 

[bripat9643]

So the United States was a third world shit hole in 1929 before it had any of the government you mentioned?

Government isn't civilization, asshole. In fact, it's precisely the opposite. Government is the monopoly on force.

You're an idiot. The commerce clause doesn't give the government power to regulate anything except transport and sale of goods between states. That's what the word meant when the Constitution was written.

Obviously, you have Soros' hand thrust firmly up you ass.

Show us where the Constitution authorizes the government to create the NSF.

Let me see
1. America was breaking up monopolies
2. There was a national weather service
3. Central Bank
4. infastructure was being invested in by the federal government


The modern nation is what we ran into. You people don't like the fact that the public/private system is the way they work throughout the world.

I can see why statists are afraid of the tea party...Look at the platform.
Smaller government and lower taxes would diminish the welfare state and thereby lower the number of people voting for the party that gives away the most free stuff..


1. Eliminate Excessive Taxes - Excessively high taxes are a burden for those exercising their personal liberty to work hard and prosper as afforded by the Constitution. A fiscally responsible government protects the freedom of its citizens to enjoy the fruits of their own labor without interference from a government that has exceeded its necessary size, scope and reach into the lives of its citizens.

2. Eliminate the National Debt - By implementing fiscally conservative policies at all levels of government, progress can be made toward eliminating the U.S. National Debt. Massive increases in the National Debt have created and continue to create a huge burden for the next generation of Americans, thus imperiling the country’s short-term and long-term economic health and prosperity.

3. Eliminate Deficit Spending - All deficit spending must be eliminated immediately. We insist that government representatives at all levels maintain a fiscally responsible budget and balance the books as would be expected of any American business.

4. Protect Free Markets - America’s free enterprise system allows businesses to thrive as they compete in the open marketplace and strive toward ever better services and products. Allowing free markets to prosper unfettered by government interference is what propelled this country to greatness with an enduring belief in the industriousness and innovations of the populace.


5. Abide by the Constitution of the United States - The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land and must be adhered to without exception at all levels of government. This includes the Bill of Rights and other Amendments to the U.S. Constitution and their provisions designed to protect states’ rights and individual liberties.


6. Promote Civic Responsibility - Citizen involvement at the grassroots level allows the voice of the American people to be heard and directs the political behaviors of our representatives at both the local and national level so they, in turn, may be most effective in working to preserve the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness of this country’s citizens.


7. Reduce the Overall Size of Government - A bloated bureaucracy creates wasteful spending that plagues our government. Reducing the overall size, scope and reach of government at both local and national levels will help to eliminate inefficiencies that result in deficit spending which adds to our country’s debt.

8. Believe in the People - The American people, given their guaranteed freedoms, will thrive in a democratic, capitalist environment which allows individuals to strive toward ever greater achievements, innovations and the efficient production of needed and valued goods and services.


9. Avoid the Pitfalls of Politics - American politics is burdened by big money from lobbyists and special interests with an undue influence on the peoples’ representatives. The Tea Party movement is seen as a threat to the entrenched political parties and thus is the continual target of smear campaigns and misrepresentation of its ideals. We choose not to respond to these attacks except to strongly and explicitly disavow any and all hate speech, any and all violence as well as insinuations of violence, and any and all extreme and fringe elements that bring discredit to the Tea Party Movement. We are a peaceful movement and respect other's opinions and views even though they do not agree with our own. We stand by the Tea Party beliefs and goals and choose to focus our energies on ensuring that our government representatives do the same.


10. Maintain Local Independence - The strength and resilience of a grassroots movement is the ability of citizens at the local level to determine their own platforms, agendas and priorities free of an overriding central leadership. Exercising the clearly stated message of the Tea Party movement by its nature involves discourse about which policies and candidates best hold to our stated principles, and these various opinions should flourish and evolve at the local level.

If this is the case, then why are they against gay marriage? Why do they continually

Faggot marriage is not one of the items listed in the Constitution. ..

So the losertrian mindset says that the government shouldn't stop gays from marrying. Thanks for handing us a victory!

That's right...focus on the important things.

And you losertrians think the nws, noaa, nasa, fda, cdc, and the interstate highway isn't consitutional? Go fuck yourselves within a dark cave! I think I'll keep the America I love so much and watch you live out in the woods!
