Tea Party 4-18-11 Topic

My mom is the oddball Science Fiction fan. I assume their is a Freudian reason I made that error, but that is another topic I only dabble in.

So lets correct and reask....and expand the parameters....

Should kids be reading Animal Farm, Atlas Shrugged, neither or both?

Any one who thinks that there is value to reading Ayn Rand and the whole objectivism nonsense needs to ask themselves if they really DO believe in democracy. Sorry, but the whole elitist crap ****** me off.

Hey, look, another nut who shot at some cops because somebody led him to believe armed insurrection was the only answer to the country's problems:


Williams watched the news on television and was upset by "the way Congress was railroading through all these left-wing agenda items," his mother said.

She said she had planned to cook salsa with her son on Sunday and was making preparations when she got a call from a television reporter, looked out the window and saw that her pickup was gone.

She said she then checked the locked safe where she kept her guns, all legally purchased and owned, and found that they were also missing.

Janice Williams said she kept the guns because "eventually, I think we're going to be caught up in a revolution." But she said she had told her son many times that "he didn't have to be on the front lines."

She said she had no explanation for his actions.

"Something snapped," she said. "His life is over. He will go back to prison for the rest of his life. Our lives are over."

This guy was had been convicted of multiple felonies. He stole his mothers guns and had aquired body armor. There is nothing connecting this guy shooting to his politics. What about the other 2 felony convictions....Abortion and Estate tax??

Yes. Saying that he was angry at "liberals" is in no way an identification of his politics.  (sarc)

Agreed, just like carrying racist signs at a teabagger rally does not make you a racist.

With the latest polls angry at liberals isnt a big deal.

And so what. He was furious at liberals. What connects his actions to that? This is his third violent felony, they cant all be Rush related!

The few people that were caught at rallys carrying signs may well be racists.

The point is the thousands and thousands of Tea Party activists that were not carrying signs should not be considered racists.

Of course then the Democrats would have to talk about their record in the next election!

Just say no!

So a person with a sign makes the whole group look bad.

On the flip side going to a Black Seperatists anti-American preacer for 20 years means notthing!

Its OK, you can keep your sign. Just stop denying you are a racist.

Me and everyone in the Tea Party and the whole Republican Party. We are not Racists. Some in the group may be.

Some in the Democratic party are racists, as well as some in the NAACP. Also Obama's long time preacher is a Racist.

Hate is not who you stand next to. It is in your soul.

She admits to a racist act about 20 years ago. Obama forced her to resign.

Can I pick neither, but she seems like a hard worker who got screwed.
