This times 1000. OP, we know the established Left is full of bitter old timers, clawing on desperately to what used to be their world, but don't you start.

Rachael Maddow got new respect from me when she said Loughner had nothing to do with the TeaParty or politics in general.

But I guess Rachael Maddow looks reasonable compared to her mad cow infested fanatics.

That quote only applies to those movements that are not morally bankrupt succeeding in their right to revolution. The teabaggers, although unified, did not have the underlying moral, philosophical, or logical foundation to justify any 'second amendment remedy'. You cannot free yourselves from a self-imposed tyranny of ignorance with a gun.

do you?

So, what is it that I've offered that you find question of?

Geez, I want some of what you're smoking.

You're seriously delusional if you think that the actions of some lone crazie has anything to do with "watering the tree of liberty". Nobody in the mainstream media that I know of is taking that position. Left or right. I do find it ironic how the full blown crazies seem to bring other crazies out of the woodwork.

So can I be 3/5 of a tax payer?


Or perhaps 3/5ths is to be interpreted as the amount of your income the federal government allows you to keep... or is that the amount they intend to take...

Hrrrmmm...

Hahaha so true. Blame Bush has literally become "Blame Palin, Rush, Tea Party"

Pretty sad, but predictable from the goons boomeranging between reality and some fantastical place likely induced by hallucinogenic drugs and guilt.

If the Tree of Liberty needs to be refreshed with the blood of tyrants and patriots every 20 years, I suspect it died long ago. Has anyone checked to see lately?

We have representative democracy aka republic. Hard to argue tyranny. TJ wrote a lot about "right to revolution" and nutters miss the critical element, representation.

Feeling represented are you? I sure as hell am not. We lost our representation a long time ago in this country. It seems some folks are finally taking notice. Then again, those who have millions of dollars to throw at "political funding" would probably feel they're being represented just fine. The population lost control of this government a LONG time ago.

So then what's the point of this thread?

Let's see...



< Dons Magical Swami Hat >


Clearly, the OP wishes for Tea Partiers to be slaughtered, and their blood used to water the trees on the White House lawn...


The remains, of course, make really great strawmen.
