Wow, this comment morphed from something moderate to equating progressives to communist and fascist icons and murderers. Divide and conquer alright.

Quotes from America socialist leader Norman Thomas (1884 - 1968):
"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism, but under the name of liberalism they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program until one day America will be a socialist nation without ever knowing how it happened."
************
"I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democrat Party has adopted our platform."
There, my fellow Americans, is the progressive's blueprint and road map to bringing down this country. Many in the tea party realize how far along that path the progressives have come and want to stop them now before they complete the destruction of America.
So, if you try to see things from the tea party's point of view, saving the country is not something that can be compromised on, it has to start now.
Just like the progressive's view that their goal of destroying America is almost within reach, so they can't let up. Efforts must be redoubled. No room for compromise there either.

I think racism is a major factor to why the tea parties have made such a political influence among the conservative population ...
Stop you right there.
Based on exactly what reputable sources or evidence?
"You think" somehow makes it a fact - as in a lie repeated often enough becomes a fact?

Never forget that poll after poll shows that people identifying themselves as "liberals" make up only about 20% of the electorate, while conservatives have the highest percentage followed closely by independents.

It's still early days though, given the conservative base and their innovativeness during the election period, there may verywell be a republican golden boy or golden event waiting to push Obama aside. Anything is possible, it just doesn't look as though republicans are gathering any convincing candidates. When I look at the republican portion of congress, they don't appear to be all that confident.
The Statesman reported that Rick Perry, in the middle of the special legislative session he called, flew off to Vail, Colorado, on a donor's private airplane to a summit hosted by the Koch Brothers. Rick Perry is no stranger to meeting with conservative billionaires to plan how to enact corporate-friendly policies at the expense of Texan families, and it's for this reason that he could be the preferred presidential candidate for the Koch Brothers.

Rick Perry is the GOP Nominee. He has been annointed.
The Koch brothers called him like a hunting dog and he came. Right in the middle of a special legislative session that he himself had called for.

Obama's not looking all that popular in the polls, he's still hovering around 40% by most standards. However, I don't think the current band of republican candidates at the moment show much against overtaking Obama in 2012. I'm sure you disagree though, I mean you've got Fox news, drudge, free republic, alex jones and all those other conservative outlets to tell you otherwise.

That is very true. In actual fact, the idea that hispanics and african americans tend to be liberal for the most part is nonsense. I've found that most minorities actually tend to be conservative. Americans in general tend to be conservative but that being said, only a fraction of americans are conservative to the point of promoting free market policies and extreme social policies such as forcing raped woman to bear pregnancy. Most americans, while conservatives, are moderately conservative. The brand of tea party does not appeal to most americans and it never has. Reagan tried to bring in similar policies that would virtually transform america to what the tea parties advocate now, he never got far. Reagan was a staunch opponent of medicare, but he never touched it. Nixon can be applied to in the same light. George H Bush? If anything he was quiet the centrist and actually raised taxes in part of his presidency, reagan did prior as well. Dubya? Well you all all about him. But hey? Who am I to convince you?

There's a great example of hypocrisy (by the left) in action.

Now for my post.
Racist? Not really. Morons? Yes. Most of the Tea Partiers have no f-ing idea what the f*** they are talking about and are just making a big b****ing storm. And it's become very annoying.

It's really funny watching Progressives freak out about the Koch brothers when most of the Progressive movement today is bankrolled by George Soros.
How did Obama get elected? Any guesses? It's certain that Soros funded Obama's campaign and funds MoveOn.org.
What's the problem here?

Socialism is a bridge to communism.
And how do you define socialism exactly?
any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
a system of society or group living in which there is no private property
a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done
