We're Sliding into a Socialist Nightmare

Oh no! It’s like 1930s Germany up in here! Except no it isn’t. When you're a Tea Partier, words can mean whatever you want. In this case, “socialism” refers to “any political opinion with which I do not agree.”
Sarah Palin is the Next Ronald Reagan

This could actually be true some day, but the scary part is they think it’s a good thing.
Barack Obama Isn't Eligible to be President

There’s actually a conspiracy theory within this conspiracy theory: some of them think that birthers are actually liberals trying to make the Tea Party look crazy. If so, well done, Evil Liberal Conspiracy Dudes.
Government out of Healthcare! Whoops, What's Medicare?

They hate the idea that the government might have some say in their health care. But in the same breath they demand that the government not touch their Medicare, which of course is a government-run program.

The Tea Party remains a loosely coalesced band of strict constitutionalists and fundamentalist Christians (that doesn't sound like any kind of party to me!), despite efforts to project the image of a cohesive force capable of defeating ... whatever. Republicans? Democrats? Reform? Whatever it is, well by golly they don't like it!

The greatest new development since their crushing defeat with regard to health care is their vague threats of Civil War Part Deux. Sorry, but we're not too worried. Actually, it sounds adorable! Imagine a ragtag group of seniors with Confederate caps, their Rascals all gassed up and rarin' to go! Doesn't that sound cute?

We won't ever get a clear list of actual things they want (and "not that" doesn't count), so what is it really that they believe? Take a look at the delusions of the Tea Party.

I don't see any dilusions. I see honest, hard working, American citizens trying to have their voices heard. They do not want our country to become second rate to Cuba, Venzuela, North Korea or Iran. These are people that value thier freedom and the Free Enterprise System.

the tea party is the largest group of military supporters you would ever find. They/we are fighting in our own way to keep Americans free. Same as you. I'm so sorry you just don't get it. : (

Next comes a bloody revolution where the bankers are regulated - with bullets. Let's hope it never comes to that and stays peaceful. Americans are Fed up with corruption! The internet has blown a hole in the information-deficient mainstream corporate media news. That, naturally, cares more about protecting it's corporate advertisers than informing the American people.

P.S. The free enterprise system, which is based on the continuous mass consumption and discarding of resources, is destroying the planet. Period.

No, not really, no.

In case you haven't noticed, our capitalist vehicles are much more efficient and clean than the ones produced by Russia, China, Cuba, or North Korea.

I would read a book perhaps. Maybe two.

Referring to Obama as a "communist" is like calling 3-term President and champion of the little guy, FDR, a commie. Last time I checked, FDR was still a rather popular representative of this country. It's preposterous statements like that that make the TEA Party look outlandish and ridiculous, which they are. Keep up the good work!

reply
JoeKremer to ScottCl... 2011/02/24 01:24:08

Read up on some of the things FDR attempted to do.

- He consolidated more power than any previous president in the executive branch.
- He attempted to stuff the supreme court by trying to add three of his cronies to it.
- He antagonized Japan, spread anti-German propaganda, while pretending to be a neutral country. (Not saying those moves were bad, they weren't, but to do that while pretending to be neutral is retarded)
- He oversaw over a decade with next to no economic recovery. Evidently the New Deal failed. It is no surprise that things started to get better when everyone was put to work after Pearl Harbor.
