Is it racist to hate members of the Tea Party?


do you even know what racist means?

 

[zinfamous]

I proudly have a Tea Party flag hanging in my room. Does this make me a terrible person?

I use this simple equation: Tea Party flag within 3 standard deviations of distance (Southwest conversion factor = 6 inches/distance) to Confederate Flag and Flag of Israel = racist.

So, it all depends on how closely you display it to your Confederate flag and Israel flag.

I'm libertarian.

Jesus,dude. We've established in this thread that you know jackshit about libertarianism. You're an idiot who calls himself a libertarian.

Its pretty racist to hate the most racially diverse political movements around today.

Uh... most polls put the teabaggers at around 90% white.

I rock at that game (Killer Instinct). Played on XBAND back in the day.

KI2/KI Gold I destroyed all. Sabrewulf was the shit. In 2 I played him and Jago. In 1 I played him, Cinder and Glacius

Libertarianism emphasizes individual freedom, and I'm enthusiastic about that.

You tried to say that I don't believe in libertarian ideals because I believe the federal government needs *some* kind of funding in the interest of national defense. I didn't feel it was necessary to respond to that remark because it was silly. You're saying that libertarians don't believe there should be a federal government? Seriously? Of course there needs to be a federal government, and it needs funding. If the federal government regulates inter-state and international commerce, then taxing imports is somewhat more appropriate than taxing individuals. It would also have the benefit of encouraging Americans to produce goods. You said this is a failed economic idea. I'd appreciate any examples you can provide and I'd gladly read about it.

Good. Sounds like you're better than those "-->, -->, MP" players.

Uh, no. The "Libertarian Party" follows the "libertarian" philosophy. And this moron has contradicted several key planks to both the philosophy and the party platform.

http://www.lp.org/platform

1.4 Abortion

Recognizing that abortion is a sensitive issue and that people can hold good-faith views on all sides, we believe that government should be kept out of the matter, leaving the question to each person for their conscientious consideration.

3.4 Free Trade and Migration

We support the removal of governmental impediments to free trade. Political freedom and escape
from tyranny demand that individuals not be unreasonably constrained by government in the
crossing of political boundaries. Economic freedom demands the unrestricted movement of human
as well as financial capital across national borders. However, we support control over the entry into
our country of foreign nationals who pose a credible threat to security, health or property.

Teabaggers are just members of the Republican base who are embarrassed by Bush. They also like to throw around terms that they don't understand. In that sense, Ichinisan is the model teabagger. He is most definitely not a libertarian, though.

I'd like to study this. I see no logical reason for it to fail, unless it was not free market. For example, if it was government-subsidized businesses that didn't truly have to compete with foreign goods.

Do you know of any specific examples I can research?

every south american country that defaulted on their loans in the 80's had been trying to use import substitution industrialization for the past 30+ years.

on the other hand, some countries with export subsidy industrialization did extremely well. take all the east asian countries specializing in manufacturing.

preslove, i wasn't defending him. I'm jus saying "libertarian" and "Libertarian" are different words. both of you guys were using the lower cased version instead of the upper cased version.

The difference is that the capitalized word is political party that follows the philosophy of the non-capitalized word. You're just being pedantic & have no point.
