Quote:Queen Elizabeth II fronts for the Rothschilds. She is the largest landowner on Earth. She is Head of State of the United Kingdom and of thirty one other states and territories, and is the legal owner of 6,600 million acres of land, one sixth of the Earth's land surface. A conservative estimate of the value of the Crown Temple syndicate's land holding, under the Queen's signature, is £17.6 trillion.

I think that reporter was smoking something...If he said Jefferson....If you don't think we can govern ourselves, I'd invite you to come to any town meeting on zoning or a budget....That is where democracy works best, on the local level. That is what the tea party is aiming for....Shrink, the democracy stealing, federal government.....Nothing more.

You mean those zoning meetings where they unanimously approved a community center two blocks from ground zero, and then every single tea-bagger in the country simultaneously shit their pants? The modern definition of "socialist" is anyone who's winning an argument against a tea-bagger. AURaptor's Greatest Hits: Friday, September 24, 2010 I hate Obama's America. You're damn right about that. Friday, May 28, 2010 - 18:26 To President Obama: Mr. President, you're a god damn, mother fucking liar. Fuck you, you cock sucking community activist piece of shit. ... go fuck yourself, Mr. President.

Quote:Originally posted by Niki2: You pretty much nailed it, PK. Good to see you. Good to know some of the rest of the world can see this clearly, because that about sums it up. A few things tho': Beck is a joke. He said HIMSELFQuote:I’m a rodeo clown,’ he said in an interview, adding with a coy smile, “It takes great skill.” “He added later: “I say on the air all time, ‘if you take what I say as gospel, you’re an idiot.’“f course, that was before he got a pulpit, a huge, ignorant audience and started taking HIMSELF seriously. Unfortunately, his followers all conveniently forgot what he said and take him dead seriously and believe every word out of his mouth. He's crazier than a coot. 1. They’re quite happy to talk about anarchy and revolution if they don’t get their way. Some talk about the “second amendment solution” (2nd amendment = gun ownership) and so forth. They have no idea what it would really MEAN, and they don’t particularly care. It sounds good. 2. Abe Lincoln, yes; in fact they love hollering about the "Founding Fathers" even tho' they know little or nothing about them. More than that, tho', Reagan, which is even funnier. 3. Not hijacking the black vote; the Tea Party has been not-so-subtly doing what the Repubs have done for years, it's called the Southern Strategy. Subtle buzz words and sentences to play to the racism still alive and well in our country. Only now they've added Hispanics and Muslims to the racism against Blacks, and it's working quite well for them...so far. 4. Absofuckinglootely. That’s what it’s all about (and racism, which is running rampant now we’ve got a Black President). 5. What’s even funnier Is you should see the signs at their rallies. Right alongside “smaller government!” will be a sign saying “don’t take away my Social Security!” And as for the debt, they’re quite happy with not letting the Bush tax cuts expire for the rich, which would increase the debt hugely, not to mention being for “smaller government” but wanting that government in our bedrooms and everywhere else we’re doing anything THEY don’t like. 6. Don’t get me started on Palin...! 7. Yup, right on target. They may pay for it, but what the hell, we survived Bush, we’ll survive her, and the Tea Party. Things change, but things remain the same... Good to hear outside perspectives see it for what it is, that's reassuring I know conservatism is on the rise globally, so maybe we can be a warning to other countries before THEY go too far. One can only hope... Hippie Operative Nikovich Nikita Nicovna Talibani, Contracted Agent of Veritas Oilspillus, code name “Nike”, signing off

Quote:Originally posted by peacekeeper: These comments may be considered flippant, but the truth of the matter is, the Tea Party Movement just didn't portray itself in a particularly positive light to the outside world.
Quote:Comparing Winston Churchill to Adolf Hitler because of his feelings on gun control is a teency step too far over the threshold for any one to take it seriously...

Quote:Portraying that as a wide-spread belief among Tea Partiers, or anyone else, would be bad journalism.

Quote:It seems that the TeaBaggers are the kind of people that have done a lot of shitting and can't take having some of it land on their doorstep.

Quote:If someone wanted to find members who reflected unpopular beliefs, it'd sure be possible.

Quote:Originally posted by Niki2: Geezer, I disagree. Of the people put up by the Tea Party, a goodly number of them have espoused beliefs unpopular with the majority of Americans over and over, and done it quite openly.

Quote:I'd also guess that a pretty significant number of voters chose conservatives for their fiscal views (smaller government, balanced budget, etc.), and held their noses at the candidates' less liberal social views (anti-abortion, anti-gay, etc.).

Quote:Originally posted by Niki2: But the other; are you saying they put up candidates they knew couldn't win just to rile up the base or something? Why would you put up candidates with even LESS chance of winning than try to find one that had a shot? Doesn't make sense to me. Especially where Reid is concerned..>EVERYBODY hates Reid, so why not put up a viable candidate?
Quote:CNN's exit polls show that men and white voters broke for Angle by significant margins. Angle carried white voters by a 53 percent to 41 percent margin and men by a 48 percent to 46 percent margin. Reid made that up among women (53 percent), African Americans (78 percent), Latinos (68 percent) and Asians (79 percent). Even though white voters made up 72 percent of the vote and Reid only carried 41 percent of that block, those large margins among other ethnic groups carried him to victory. In terms of turnout, Reid benefitted from higher than anticipated turnout among Latinos, which was crucial to his win.
