Dude, if we progress forward and spend more money, we'll be less in debt. Get it?

Yeah spending more money always reduced my credit card bill too. The more I spend, the less I owe :awe:

Why do you hate investing in our country?

More like taking a cash advance to max out all the credit cards, burning the cash in the fireplace, then asking for a credit limit increase :p

I think this is a pretty good example of individuals being themselves in a relaxed setting and then possibly behaving out of character (or in true character?) as armed rabid maniacs when out marching and demonstrating with a leader screaming ideological mantra through a megaphone like I've seen so much of during the 2010 election campaigns.

Same with any group of people taken over with mob mentality expressing their hatred of the boogeyman, the terrorist, the mushroom cloud, etc.

Meh, the tea party sucks, but Nick seems like an OK guy to me. Doesn't strike me as angry in the least.

Nah, just you and your pals in this forum that disagree with me politcally think so. I'm actually quite happy with life, couldn't be better in fact. You don't know me whatsoever, and your judgements about me are completely unfounded.

Also, you making post after post after post after post after post in this thread trying to attack me personally as being angry, instead of commenting on the OP says farrrr more about you than it does me. And that I'm sure is something the other viewers of this forum see.

I would agree. I know it's anecdotal, but by-and-large the people that I meet on a day to day basis that are angry and miserable tend to be on the liberal side of life. I’ve read plenty of posts in this forum and most of the incivility comes from the people on the left. I’m not talking about honest debate or disagreement, that’s all fine with me; I’m referring to flat out rudeness, personal insults, elitism, etc. Not saying that there aren’t conservative jerks, but my general observation is that the bulk of the uncivil speech is coming from the left.

Just stating my personal experience. Yours will, no doubt, be differenct than mine. :)

I'm so miserable, that I fantasize each day about shooting people with my guns. I also like to state all the time how I will shoot this person and that person,... but I never did, nor will do. Because I am a fearing miserable coward who fears certain "types" of people.

Like the "type" that I found on top of my girlfriend one afternoon when I came home for work early with some flowers for her. She was making noises I could never get her to make. And, when I walked in on them, the "type" told me to 'close the fucking door'. I had to wait out in the living room until they were done - 20 minutes later. When they were done, my girl walked out with him. She didn't even look at me.

I am also afraid that there is an African American in the White House. I support and praise political groups that are bat shit insane, only because they oppose this African American President - I am too much of a coward to lead such efforts. So, I follow the loons.

The video linked in the OP reminded me of a really bad Saturday Night Live sketch. The type where they take a ten second premise and drag it out for ten minutes. Apparently this video is supposed to be satirical, but it was a total and absolute waste of time.

I disagree. It was a bit dragged out, but I think it's important to note that the administration calling these people terrorists for political purposes is unsettling. The left's ironic clamoring for a return to civility notwithstanding, it's a very serious charge when the government levels that accusation against citizens. If there were substantive evidence of terrorist ties or actions, there might be some merit to it. But for the most part the Tea Party has been vocal and active, but not violent. To that extent they are no worse than the anti-war protesters during Bush's tenure, who were not called terrorists despite doing such things as forcibly shutting down marine recruitment offices in some areas.

This analogy only works if you own a business and are purchasing things for the business with the intent of increasing your revenue and profit. Otherwise, this is a stupid analogy that makes no sense and doesn't fit. However it sounds perfect if you're making a Tea Party argument because an unintelligent argument like this is the smartest thing a teabagger could come up with.

No, the analogy fits fine. When you spend more money than you make, you take on debt, which will crush you if it gets too big. That's all there is to it.

What do those people know about macro economics? Why should they be able to destroy the world economy because of some weird fucking idea about what money is theirs? I mean fuck those people look like they make no more then 40k a year. Some fucking fat uneducated peasants are going to demand how the world economy will run? No that IS terror.

Respond to what I wrote. Why should some 40k a year peasants have a better understanding of economies of the world then people who have gone to the best schools and studied such thing their entire lives? Idiocracy is here and it exists in the teaparty.

You are assuming. You don't know the first thing about any of them, let alone their incomes.

You come off as the classic liberal elitist. Calling people fucking peasants, and all the rest. You are no better than those you hate, infact you are probably worse.

So these people have a firm understand of macroeconomics? They know the best way forward for the world economy? Please. They are simple.

I am pretty elitist though. I just don't accept crap in my life. From the finest cuts of meat to the best consumable media and wine I know what is good. Hate me for it. At the end of the day your living in the suburb of shit and I'm living in a thriving vibrant city with a interesting career and I worked hard for it.

Again, you don't know the first thing about any of them. You just assume and assume and assume, its making you look quite the ass.

More assuming, this time trying to put me down. You don't know where I live or what I do, you don't know shit about me.

In another thread, you claimed to know 2% of my life and it was enough for you to know it was a horrible shitty life. I asked you to explain and you never did. Since you are taking the time to call my life out again as being shitty, I'll give you another chance to explain.

You won't though, you are just a pathetic little coward. Everyone can see right through you, you are worthless.

Here's a Tea Party Terrorist

"Anti-Union Tea Party Congressman Collecting Disability From His Union Job

A Minnesota tea bagger (Rep. Chip Cravaack ) got elected, voted for Paul Ryan’s Kill Medicare plan, but had no problem accepting $92, 273 for disability payments. That’s right, he took government money but had no qualms about campaigning against himself by bashing Big Bad Intrusive Guvmint… and unions. Did I mention he’s a union member?"
