Tea Party Weekend

Recommended Posts

And, I will wait for you to find the quotes from some right wing known name that says the demonstrations or disagreements with any of the things you stated (cause there are none of any consequense)

To follow, the Tea Party demonstrations were historic in the size an meaning. The left media and talking heads ignored it for the most part and then you have the likes of Pelosi calling them what she did as well as others. Are you going to condem them?

I will not hold my breath.

And yes, you ARE on a side, consitantly

>you can bet the state sponsored media will NOT report what happened here.

But FOX News will! They will report in an unbiased, totally objective manner so people can see what's REALLY going on:

yes, they did report it.

And they did not do the "stirring" if that is what your link implies.

Dont have time right now to look at it

Remove states boarders to insurance companies
Remove state mandated coverages
Let the 1700 plus companies compete with oversite



It still does not change the fact that all corporation are designed around a profit model, which is fine for products but not when it comes to humane life and health. IMHO.

I have said this more than once. Cant you remember anything?



I remember substance not bull shit. The right has offered nothing of the sort. All I here is the same old blind admiration for capitalism that is treated like religion to some. So yes they are blind and faithful to it regardless of the facts. The rest is people getting suspiciously excited about what the black president is doing. They claim its about taxes and expense yet they all had a tall glass of shut the fuck up when the subject was the Iraq war and the expense was caused by GWB.

So sorry but my memory is what allows me to see the hypocrisy and makes me wonder what the real reasons are.

Saturday night AM radio was saying there were 10 to 20 thousand protestors in DC.



I tried to find a hotel room in DC on Saturday night. There were none available, so I ended up driving the 4.5 hours back to our house in Roanoke.

Let me repeat that: there were no hotel rooms available in the Washington DC metro area on Saturday night. In a city the size of DC, that doesn't happen from 10 or 20 thousand visitors.

Hey, dude. I was there. It wasn't like in that photo, no. But I didn't say it was. What I said was that there were a lot more than "tens of thousands" of people.

The photos here are pretty accurate, from what I saw, in person, with my own eyes.

How is that standing up against a war that was false, more costly in lives and money was compared with being traitor or unpatriotic?



Close to half of the Tea Party folks I've talked to have been opposed to both the current US wars (Afghanistan and Iraq), and generally suspicious of sending the US military overseas.

Would that be like the vast majority of Italians who, after the Allied invasion, said they were always opposed to Mussolini?

More like all the suddenly pro-war Obama supporters, who've only recently discovered that they support more killing and dying in Afghanistan.

No, being opposed to something is NOT like being in favor of it.

The majority of the anti-war movement was concerned about Iraq, not Afghanistan. Some of us didn't like war at all but understood that the bad guys were actually in the country we were invading. Some of us still bitched though, but it was more about MOAB's and using cluster bombs. I was particularly annoyed about dropping cluster bomblets and food aid packages which looked nearly identical. But that didn't make me against the Afghanistan operation as a whole. Iraq on the other hand was wrong on just about every level. It was a damn expensive, preconceived, arrogant, strategic, deadly, economic and foreign relations mistake.
And no, I don't know anyone who supports more killing and dying. But what do you think the right would say if Obama bailed from Afghanistan/Pakistan and the latter, nuclear armed, fell to extremists? I'd be complaining right along with you.
