Sometimes who a groups enemies are tells me more about them than who their members are. I despise Soros and his ilk, who believe in the right to free speech, just so long as you're saying exactly what they want you to say.
Anyway I've been fairly a-political of late, but the fact that the tea Party has provoked such a strong responce from all the assholes I despise most give me pause for thought.

Nice post Zulater.
If I am not mistaken the tea party members simply believe in the principles this great country was founded upon.
Is this correct?

NO! They are RACIST & EXTREMIST because they don't agree with the president or pelosi!

Sounds good to me then.. Sign me up.. The tea party is fighting what our country and what it was founded on..
Nothing better then a Black & Gold Wedding 09/24/11
They'd have to be around a whole lot longer for me to consider them in any important fashion. Its easier to "walk to the planet Mars" than for a political party in the USA to get established.

I would imagine there are those who would join simply on principle empire regardless of their perceived "importance" or relevance in the eyes of many.
Let me ask you friend, do you believe in the principles this country was founded upon? Freedom & liberty.

Check out whichever organizations are in your area. A lot of different, unrelated organizations use the Tea Party name in one form or another.
I was excited about the tea party early on, thinking Americans had woken up to the fact that they've been sold out by both parties. But the tea party movement was hijacked by the Republican establishment. What started off as something that could have pushed our country back in the right direction has turned into nothing more than the activist arm of the GOP.
Array title="GBMelBlount has a reputation beyond repute">
Really? How unfortunate if that is the case. The purity of the principles on which this country was founded seems to lost in partisan politics on both sides imo.
Yes. But I suppose they (the tea party) can at the very least be used as a "tool" to get a message across to the political establishment. I figure, at least right now at its origin, there are noble intentions regarding the tea parties core message. But with all power, comes corruption. The mere "physics" of governing is deviant in itself. If or when this new party gains some form of footing in Washington, then what? What is their plan ? What makes them so better than what we already have ? Are they led by some genius who out-thinks both Dems and Repubs ? Who is their leader anyway? "Every" politician that tried to change Washington in the past has only attained a temporary, band-aid fix at best to whatever was considered wrong with the nation at that time. So many have tried in the past, but the very fact that we look around and find that we have a need for a "tea party" at all lets me know the chances of real change (change for the better)... is slim to none.
There's an old Jewish saying that goes,"If you are at work on something and someone yells out, "the Messiah has come, the Messiah has come !" Finish with what your working on first, then go check on the Messiah.

And in George Washington's farewell speech, he stated that political parties would affect this country horribly... O George, how correct you were.
The very thing that made the tea party legitimate is the same thing that led to its undoing. It started off as a grassroots movement of Americans who were angry with government, both Democrats and Republicans. But the tea party never had an organizational structure, so that allowed opportunistic Republicans to move in and claim it. That's why Sarah Palin has become the tea party's darling. The Republicans have taken over the movement.
And I'm a Republican. But first and foremost I'm an American. And I think BOTH parties have sold us out, and quite frankly I'm tired of both of them. And THAT'S what the tea party was supposed to be about ... Americans standing up against the government and saying, "ENOUGH!"
Array title="GBMelBlount has a reputation beyond repute">
By Republican I am assuming you are talking about in principle....even "conservative" perhaps. If that is the case I understand your concern. It seems to me that that there is a big difference between what we are told in principle by our politicians vs. how they actually govern.
Whether in government or the private sector, people tend to look out for their own interests...and just as liberals rail against the unfairness of capitalism and free markets, my argument will always be that those in government exploit us in the same way for their own benefit and need to be carefully regulated as well....just as our founding fathers believed...
In many cases, giving the the government unchecked powers in order to "protect" us from the "greed" inherent in freedom and capitalism is no different than putting the fox in charge of the hen house....
At least that's how I feel.
But then again, I like Brett Favre...
Yeah, I've had a few beers and slipped up. I used to be a proud Republican. But no longer. I'm a conservative, but picking a Republican over a Democrat is like choosing the lesser of two evils. Everything you said is spot on, GB. Well, except the Favre part.
Array title="GBMelBlount has a reputation beyond repute">
Thank you friend.
I tend to agree, unfortunately.
...but as far as Favre is concerned, we will agree to disagree.
Cripes, I'm so frustrated with our elected officials that I'd vote for Favre if he ran for president.Thank you friend.
I tend to agree, unfortunately.
...but as far as Favre is concerned, we will agree to disagree.He couldn't do any worse.

Russians or Al Qaeda
Tutsis or Hutus
Shia or Sunni Muslims
Al Qaeda or Iran
Array title="NJarhead has much to be proud of">
You compare Russians with Al Qaeda and Tutsis with Hutus while citing simplicity???? And, lemme guess, you want to be taken seriously to boot.
Array title="GodfatherofSoul is a jewel in the rough">
That's sarcasm friend.
Array title="NJarhead has much to be proud of">
I don't think it was. I read your other 12 posts before responding and with the exception of Poteat being the worst Steeler (which I think I may agree with), they all seemed condescending and snooty to me; as if you were trying to "educate the rest of us peasants." I know sarcasm and I'm a pretty funny mofo, so I'd hate to think I missed the joke. And again, I don't believe I did.
