The Tea Party Movement is no different than the American Revolution? The American Revolution was an all out revolt against an overbearing colonial empire. The Tea Parties are irrational protests against taxes and healthcare reform.

The Tea Party Movement is no different than the American Revolution, the Christian Revival Movements of 1735-42, The Prayer Movement of 1857, and 1900; that is seen as The Holy Spirit enveloping God’s believing creation to awaken his children to the truth.
God Bless You
Yea yea right i agree with ya!

In what way did I paraphrase Glenn Beck? Glenn Beck and the reports on Fox use many words and say many things, so I am bound to produce a sentence that uses a similar word/wording.
I agree. More than common sense you need a critical way thinking. I don’t think that paraphrasing Glenn Beck helps your point.
rpg:
I don’t simply take the word of a reporter. However; I’ve found that online papers and newspapers are much less reliable. The only way you can learn is if you look at he material yourself. You have to go out and read the bills being passed, watch the raw footage, and then use common sense to decide what’s real and what’s not. Most of the networks out there don’t even report the news. They choose to ignore it.
The only person being illogical here is you since you take fox news as a serious news source. I watch fox news because it’s the only network that I get here and it amuses me! It’s amusing to see how, when the network picks a stand on an issue it gets reflected by every other show on the network. It’s amusing when they start to manufacture their smear campaigns. On current events newspapers, cable news are the only things you can rely on to keep you updated. AND then thinking, lots of it.
rpg:
That would explain your illogical and flat out ridiculous opinion. You attack Fox when all you have are online newspapers and Fox. If you can’t see the point that I am trying to make, then you really shouldn’t be discussing politics, the economy, or any important matter with anyone. Don’t comment back until you view them all.
Actually, I just watch fox news and read from every major newspaper online.
rpgmaker:
You should start watching all news sources before attacking one. It has become too common for people to use attacks on Fox as a scapegoat, but if you view all news sources, they are far better than CNN, MSNBC, and most big papers/magazines. I know this because I watch the three big networks, read a short list of papers/magazines, and also include online sources. People like you enjoy letting your eyes glaze over as you lip sink to the reporters on MSNBC.
Lie Lie Lie!
Yeah, the bernie madoff ponzi scheme could’ve been totally avoided without the govt in the way. Totally.
I agree that the govt could’ve dealt with the GM situation in a different way but it was considered too big to fail and the bondholders talk were stalled. The bondholders were getting in the way of the big picture so the govt did what it had to do.
So did you erase the past eight years eh? It’s easier if you just say that you’re a republican and can’t see past party lines, is not like it isn’t clear by now or that there are any doubts. You could just admit that one of your guys screwed up (it happens), that doesn’t mean that conservatism failed (bush wasn’t a conservative in practice) or that the GOP failed. The thing about torture is, uhh, oh yea, is not as effective as other interrogations techniques, stop listening to dick and fox news.
Did you guys hear Obamas new program called HR-1444? If you didn’t, google it. You’ll be surprised.
If you get ripped of by a corporation, sue them. Don’t shop with them, hurt them where they’ll notice instead of bitch about it. The only quasi monopoly anymore is Wal-Mart.
I’m not saying get rid of the FDIC, I’m saying to the government, “Don’t tell banks who to give loans to, especially if they can’t pay them back in their lifetimes.” That problem that helped escalate the great Depression was caused by speculation, the same thing that caused all of these problems with the Sub -Prime mortgages, insurance companies felt they could make more money by insuring those loans, when they became bad paper all of those polices became worthless, billions down the drain.
ladylordess, how does torturing “enemies” save American lives? psychology has proven that under torture detainees give false information so we actually end up being less safe…I have more chances of being killed in the US by another American than I do of being killed by an enemy of the US…..do you remember what happened to the roman empire? we’re heading down that road if there is no massive change in US politics. beware the ides of march.
The deeper problem is if we just focus on manufacturing jobs alone (those are important in and of themselves) and not enough on mental labor we will be dominated by Germany, Japan and India in the sciences…their kids are much smarter than ours, sadly, because we have such a negative attitude in the US against people who are smart, so we teach them that it’s unAmerican to be intelligent
If only everyone knew that racism is a no brainer!! Regulation is necessary, but not intervention. If a company has failed, it should be allowed to fail. The problem with regulation is that we had regulation (except in some newer areas, hedgefunds) but the regulators have been asleep at the wheel. Bernie Madoff should never have been allowed to happen, but he had 12 more years after the SEC was notified. Government isn’t the answer, it usually is just part of the problem.
I DON’T care about the bush admin NOW. I care about what is going on in our country NOW as you should be. I guess you have not been listening. I would torture our enemy ANY day of the week to save any one American, EVEN YOU!!!
: )
If you have spoken to EVERY person who is arming themselves, and have asked them if they are right wing nut jobs, then I would believe you. However I do not accept ANY generalization. The BONDHOLDERS did not want that. The failed management and the Govt wanted it. They still took from one to give to another, INSTEAD of DIP financing and let them go the path they set out for themselves. The Free Market way, not the government prop us up again way. This is why people cry comm/socialism.
i agree to your last response to me. i totally understand their are crazy racist people here in the world and to not generalize. that’s a no brainer. as to believing in free markets, i agree that it should be free…..to a point.
look at the collapse of aig and the many people who were to retire right before. you cannot expect power not to corrupt. it does each and every time if not regulated. this doesn’t mean i want socialism. we just need balance.
The more I study politics and learn more about economics the less political I become! I don’t believe in liberalism or conservatism. I don’t believe in Dems or Repubs. Obama or McCain. It seems that I am all I have. Make money and let the sheep fight about the issues…. Unemployed and making more money than ever! See you at the mountaintop…
For someone that doesn’t have a side you seem very reluctant to admit that the bush administration crossed the line several times. You seemed very in line with the “look forward” attitude that Fox News is promoting and I’m guessing that you’re also ok with “enhanced interrogations techniques” (aka torture). Now, I could be wrong…
