I didn’t accuse them of fascism, but thanks for reminding me, since they are certainly fascists too.

Fascism is the merging of corporate power with political power

That is the essence of the Republican conservative Tea Party

WHY DON’T YOU PEOPLE GET ANGRY OVER WAR?

WHEN PEOPLE STARVE TO DEATH?

OVER POVERTY?

PREVENTABLE DISEASE?

YOU GET ANGRY WHEN THEY RAISE TAXES FOR THE RICH!

WHAT KIND OF PHILOSOPHY IS THAT?

What has that got to do with the constitution?

The government uses my tax money to murder people and build weapons of mass destruction in the trillions of dollars.

WHY NOT GET ANGRY OVER THAT?

WHAT KIND OF MORALITY DO YOU HAVE?

ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN?


Providing food for people is not a function of government.

I despise any and all forms of religion.

Of course I get angry when they raise taxes on the rich. I get angry when they raise taxes on anyone, let alone a single specific group of people under the guise of "they can afford it".

Ever heard of equal protection under the law?

There is no difference between Democrats, and Republicans. NONE.

The US has a ONE PARTY system, and it has for a long time now. The Donkey and Elephant show is just a distraction, keeps people thinking they have a "choice".

In the odd case where part of the show includes a "real" issue or two, or an "important" candidate that isn't completely blackmailable, then the next part of the game is implemented, VOTE FRAUD (well documented, the USA is utterly corrupt to the core).

So, does a person's vote do any good, at all? Yes, and no. In the sense that a vote provides data to the elite regarding how effective their various schemes are going, how gullible the sheeple are, etc., then people can indeed "send a message" that at least informs TPTB how fed-up their subjects are about different facets of their tyranny. But, there's a downside to this. What they do with the data you give them, is use it against you. Their Plan will still march forward, whether this way or that, faster or slower, but their Will be done. Period.

Depressing? A little, but we should be used to it by now.

Solution? Spread the word. When someone says, "Republicans / Democrats are DEMONS!" Stop them, let them know that they are deceived, help them out, ask them to do some homework perhaps. If they are "too old" (too brainwashed / stubborn / stupid) to learn any new tricks, then don't waste your time.

Even better than spreading the word about things that don't matter all that much would be raising people's awareness about things that really DO matter. There is enough that is so radically wrong and twisted, that if even a few percent of the people "awakened", TPTB could find themselves seriously back-pedaling.

Well, good luck OP, but here on ATS, I tend to think the average person isn't quite as vulnerable to the age-old "Hooray for our side" mentality that was immortalized by that popular song so many decades ago. Sort of gives me hope at times!

You said:
"WHEN YOU personally understand that we live in a modern society of inter-dependence, and we have to assist and help all people in this modern era then you will reject the false premises of the anti-human conservative republican tea party rhetoric."

Who was it that decided for all of us that WE HAVE to do that? Freedom means making it or breaking it on your own. If you make it big, being free means that you can live in a crystal tower and laugh at the people living in refrigerator boxes; you arent REQUIRED to give them anything.

Leave me alone...I have my home and my land...I work my job and i make good money on hard work....If you want to smoke crack and eat out trash cans instead of working then that is your choice; you have been free to make it all this time. Leave my hard earned money alone too

Coherent argument?

DO you deny that the South turned Republican after President Johnson passed the civil rights laws in the 60’s?

Or are you just spouting rhetoric?

I have loads of ISSUES in the OP

Deal with THEM!

The Republican Supreme court saying
Corporations are people
Now corporations are giving secret money to politicians in the millions

Did you know about that?

Did you know the Republican party stopped a bill to reduce outsourcing?

Did you know about that?

I would advise we deal with issues not emotional rhetoric

And speaking of war, I'll just leave this little nugget here, brought to you by the current administration.


WASHINGTON – In a move criticized by human rights organizations, the Obama administration has decided to exempt Yemen and three other countries that use child soldiers from U.S. penalties under the 2008 Child Soldiers Prevention Act.

In a memorandum to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, President Barack Obama said he had determined that "it is in the national interest of the United States" to waive application of the law to Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sudan and Yemen. He instructed Clinton to submit the decision to the Congress with a written justification for the move.


news.yahoo.com...

So I ask, what does anyone have to gain by letting these countries continue to use child soldiers? Why has Obama flipped on this one? From the same article:

Jo Becker, children's rights director at Human Rights Watch, said Obama had supported the legislation when he was in the Senate. "This is a ground breaking law," she said. "This is the first year it has taken effect and he's undercutting it."

I wasn't going to chime in on this thread, because of the current atmosphere so far, but I thought it best to do so.

I cannot believe the absolute ignorance of some people! The world is a complex place, not black or white (left or right) as many of you insist that it is. Not all Tea party members are racist and not all Liberals are socialists! It is these harsh generalizations that continually divide people into political ideologies that will never find common ground, allowing the government to serve the people, instead of serving politicians and partisans.

We should be concerned with providing an atmosphere of healthy debate in order to find the best route for our governments and the people. This continual left VS. right only serves to empower TPTB and others who wish to control the outcome of our fates.

I think we all need to look within, before we point a finger and ridicule those that disagree with an idea different than our own. And for the love of all things holy, can we have a discussion of the issues without people acting like immature teens in a high school debate class? C'mon people!!!

The liberal is a funny animal...

There has been democrats almost as long as there has been a USA.

The democrats we see today have been twisted and perverted into some monstrosity that has forever blackened the party. Democrats like JFK, even my state Governor, John Lynch (whom i voted for tonight) and one of the great fore fathers of our country John Adams believed that the federal government should be small and serve the people by rule of law; that the people know whats best for their own society.

The progressive lunatics you see these days utilize thuggery and sly shady tactics to persuade and intimidate people into submitting that maybe we dont know whats good for us...maybe those people in washington should tell me what i should do and what i shouldnt do.

BIG BAD BOB!

You think you are so independent.

When someone robs your house, or mugs a member of your family [ god forbid] I imagine you don’t call the police you solve the crime yourself, right?

Or if your house burns down you don’t call the fire department you put it the fire yourself, right?

Or if you get sick Big Bad Bob you don't call the ambulance, no, Big Bad Bob goes down to the emergency ward by his Big Bad Self, right eventhough you just might have had a heart attack, right Bob?

Or you want to go from Minnesota to Ohio, then you build the bridges yourself, right.

Or you get on your horse or Mule and tred there yourself, right?

You clean your own streets, right?

You don’t abide by traffic laws, right, you just do your own thing, right?

You don’t pay taxes, right?

You walk around the streets naked, right, because you don’t want to be bothered, yop want the freedom to do what you want to do.

freedom to do what?

Yes, the Democratic party has changed quite a bit. You are correct. But have you also seen the manipulation from the Right? It's not as cut and dry as many make it seem.

The Tea Party started as an "independent" movement, only to be engulfed back into the Republican fold. That's one reason why I disagree with the OP's blanket statements towards the Tea Party.

Like I said before, it is best to look within before we point fingers....otherwise we will have just as many pointing right back at us.

Well heres a breakdown of your ingenious reply...

1. (Crime against me and family) Well I DO pay my taxes...It pays for a LOCAL police dept to RESPOND AFTER THE CRIME HAS BEEN COMMITTED. I have my own protections at home. I have the "100lb pissed off german shepherd and really pissed off trained gun owner security system" at my house.

2. (fire) Again, i do pay taxes and that pays for a LOCAL fire brigade to come extinguish the flames.

3. (health insurance) I have a job...I pay $115 a week for good insurance...Im pretty well covered without govt intrusion.

4. (bridges) jeez i dont know...I know that i cant really go anywhere without an armed officeial of the govt trying to catch me to fine me. Sure i like bridges...they are convenient but i think my local taxes could probably be used to keep them up.

5. (clean the streets) actually we have a program in NH called "Adopt a Highway"...ppl volunteer to keep them clean. I clean up the trash on my road because i take pride in my nieghborhood. I dont need a federal employee to come pick up trash for $38/hour

After all that...youve shown that you are completely dependent on the federal government to give you every essential service...what happens when the government shuts down? answer. YOU WILL DIE.
