@xGimpyx It's my understanding (and, mind you, I'm viewing this from the other side of the Atlantic in little Switzerland) that New Englanders in general have a much more accepting view of what is seen as deviant in other regions of the US. It's an idea probably best expressed in the motto of New Hampshire: Live free or die. It should never be up to a government to decide what defines a marriage and, besides, there are greater things to worry about now, aren't there?
Here, a "Left" quote that explains Obama's "mission." Did that "help" you?
The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate. - Noam Chomsky

A Constitutional Republic: Voting on dinner is expressly forbidden, and the sheep are armed. 4. Federal Government: The means by which the sheep will be fooled into voting for a Democracy. 5.

I have to say, the far leftist are some of the most stringent, prejudice, haters on the planet.
You seem to just yell out the script that your higher-ups tell you to all the time... trying thinking on your own for awhile, you might like it...
isn't it funny how they were so in Bush / Cheney's face all the time (and rightfully so), but now that "their guy" is in there they do nothing but defend him.... he hasn't kept any of his real promises, just another shit-talker... bought and paid for.
@Doppelgangersin .. It's not a high horse, it's just fact, did I say that all of those criminal Neo-Cons are/were good in any way, shape and or form, good? Hell no! As far as the Tea Party goes, well, they have been partially hijacked by those Bush Republicans because that's the in thing now, so I'm not necessarily what I would call a Tea Partier either, at least not the current form, you don't want to hear this but it was Ron Pauls 2008 election that started the TP. Oh well, out of text........
Tea party is about taxes (TEA = Taxed Enough Already). Same sex marriages is not taxes. Notice how they all say "We have much bigger things to worry about than same sex marriages..." Somebody has been misinterpreting the whole Tea party's mission..
They are for smaller government, more personal freedoms and the Constitution which WOULD AND SHOULD include gay rights, personal freedom of choice. like what to do with one own body ie drug rights and woman rights. and as in the Constitution 'separation of church and state'. If it was more about these freedoms then I would be more approving of the tea party. But they cant help but to muck it up.
@dude12nothin Separation of church and state is not in the constitution, it isn't even written down any where. Plus it means that religion is supposed to be a part of government, but government is not supposed to be involved in religion.
@toastertown6 The phrase separation of Church and State comes from Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptists and explains the meaning of the VA law of Religious Freedom which is the basis of the Establishment clause of the 1st amendment, and has been part of established constitutional law for nearly 150 years...also there is no way religion can be part of government without government involvement (and interference) in religion, thats the whole point of the establishment clause
@toastertown6 The 1st Amendment reads "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" While "separation of church and state" is not written, it means that the government is to stay neutral to religion. It will not promote or condemn religion. It is doesn't mean "supposed to be a part of government" Research Thomas Jefferson, a founding father, who helped America become the first ever, in the history of mankind, secular government.
"Separation of church and state is not in the constitution, it isn't even written down any where"
You know what else is not in the constitution? "Bible, Jesus, Christianity" or any named religion. Kind of defeats the conservative talking points on most social issues, huh?
"Tea party is about taxes (TEA = Taxed Enough Already). Same sex marriages is not taxes. Notice how they all say "We have much bigger things to worry about than same sex marriages..." Somebody has been misinterpreting the whole Tea party's mission.."
I find the Tea Party avoiding issues like this a big weakness. The GOP bigotry towards gays + ass kissing to the Jesus Cult is a major problem I have with them.
The real Tea Party members are primarily against Corporate Government and the Fed. The divisive image of them painted by the corporate media is a distraction. Both sides of the working class are distracted to hating the other side when it's the corporations we should both be against.
tea party isn't actually a political party. they have no uniform political beliefs and no real leadership. it primarily a large group of people who are against big government but hold very differentiating beliefs on other issues. yes they are usually very ignorant people but dismissing their opinion as void because you believe you are superior than them intellectually or that they're all just nut jobs makes you just as ignorant
Disappointing. These Tea Partiers should be advocating the separation of marriage and state. The real issue should be about ALL consenting adults needing approval from the government in order to marry someone. The government has no business defining marriage, that's more like Sharia law territory.
So now the New Hampshire tea party has no problem w/same sex marriage while in Iowa the tea party has a totally different view on same-sex marriage. These people are confused.
Once again. The Tea Party is NOT about social issues. It is about the financial problems the US is facing AND the massive overstepping of the Federal Government on individual rights. Many Tea Partiers are borderline libertarian in their social beliefs.
@amitbarfs Not every asshole in a crowd is representative of a group. We have no other issues but federal spending and its ever expanding claims of authority.
ah then you must be part of that movement from a couple years ago called the tea party movement. i'm talking about teabaggers, the ones on medicare who whine to me incessantly about poor ppl getting medicaid and how the poorest 47% DON'T pay enough in taxes. and then they say services should be cut for minority and underserved communities and they tell me that taxes should be CUT on the rich. wtf.
@amitbarfs Yes, the tea party movement. We are not a party, we have no leaders. We are, however, attempting to absorb the republican party. Our mission is to reign in federal spending by pruning back the federal government to its proper functions as listed in article 1, section 8 of the constitution.
i think the republican party ended up absorbing YOU, lol. the tea party is too rightwing for my tastes. the giveaway was when they supported DADT, DOMA, and defunding planned parenthood. wtf. those are all social issues.
None of these people give a shit about your issues... The media TELLS you they care, but when you get there yourself and see that none of them care, you STILL think they're garbage and morons because they don't like the way the government is being run. You think tea-partiers are bigots, look at yourselves.
Most reasonable people, mostly old school conservatives and Libertarians think marriage is a states rights issue and should have nothing to do with federal law.
So if the New Hampshire tea party doesn't see a problem with gay marriage then why is their counterparts in Iowa trying to ousts the three judges that made gay marriage legal in Iowa state?
Some of you are shocked that those people up there are NOT screaming... "death to all fags"...... well, one of the reasons you have such a biased opinion when it comes to the real Tea Party is because of all of the hate-propaganda you are fed by your upper left leaders.
If the "middle of the road" right and left would just "gang up" on all of the higher-ups on both sides we would all be better off.
Just remember, real Tea Partiers are against those criminal Neo-Cons!
Most reasonable people, mostly old school conservatives and Libertarians think marriage is a states rights issue and should have nothing to do with federal law.
@ptc5010 I am suggesting that the people in this video may not be a representative sampling of tea partiers. They are just a collection of a dozen rational-sounding New Hampshire-ites. There are no broader conclusions to be drawn from this video.
@stevensnell100 I think you still may have missed the point of my original comment. The reason why the apparent sensibility is surprising is because the issue discussed is same-sex marriage. I've been in the presence of a tea party rally and watched SEVERAL videos of people there being interviewed. I perceived a majority to be Christian. Like, hard-line Christian. The kind that think this country was founded because God gave us the go-ahead. Tolerance in general is unusual within the tea party.
I'm a Tea Partier. Gay marriage has never been an issue with me nor any other Tea Partier I know. On the other hand, if you want to discuss how this Administration has raped citizens to the tune of $14 TRILLION and has no intention of turning back, then we have an issue to discuss.
@bigmagumba If it's not an issue then tell that to Bauchmann and DeMint and the rest of the social conservative Tea Party caucus because they sure seem to make an issue out of it.
If this is accurate, then the tea party leadership is grossly out of step with their base.
/endquote
actually, if this is accurate, and I think it is, the media grossly out of step with the reality of the narrative...
Nice try, chump... The tea party as I know it is neither homophobic nor racist but rather tired of the progressive left in america painting them as such. Smaller government, more freedom.
This classically liberal libertarian says -deity of your choice- bless the tea party
@tyrohne Then why do all the Tea Party Candidates and elected officials focus on gay marriage and other social agenda issues? If you don't think it's a big deal then you guys should tell that to Bauchmann and DeMint and the rest of them
@tedrock88 keep your identity, partie uber alles ideology to yourself, shill.. I don't give a rat's ass about what a Republican politician and hate them only very slightly less than Democrats.
I'm tired of both parties using me for a purse and I don't care what you do in your bedroom or who you do it with or who you do or don't pray to when you feel like it. It's clear you bought into the media's attempt to paint the party as an extension of the R's but it's a false narrative. Chump...
who you calling chump...bitch? you 're a real tough guy on the web. I bet you are a member of the NRA because you need a big gun to make you feel safe and to compensate for your "shortcomings". YOU are the one that has fallen for the "false narrative" like you are part of some "grass roots movement" when it's publicly known that the Tea party was astro-turfed by billionaire bank rollers like the koch brothers. The ENTIRE TeaBagger Caucus in congress have R's next to their names.....chump..sheep
@tedrock88 you know, I used to have a dog that every single time you'd pet it on its head, it would puke. Nice enough dog. I loved him and learned to not touch his head. it just couldn't help it. When I look at your list of talking points I'm reminded of Toby, my puking dog... It's keyboard vomit, devoid of thought and full of ad hominem... You are shown a narrative from a "progressive" source showing a segment of the tea party that isn't homophobes and your head explodes... Hilarious...
@tedrock88 and I see ZERO social agenda issues coming from the Tea Party writ large but I see economy killing legislation coming from the "progressives" ; increased taxation, increasing "hate crime" laws, "green" laws, "Patient 'Affordability' Act", etc.
All of it is control and you are enabling a boot on my throat. Can the republican's be turned? I'm not hopeful but with herd mentality "deep thinkers" like you out there, the TP has to try. Two party rule is the bane of our Republic, IMO.
@tyrohne Zero social issues? abortion isn't a social issue? big govt should stay out of peoples bodies. marriage equality isn't a social issue? Big govt should stay out of out bedrooms. Affirming the U.S.A. as a "christian nation" isn't a social issue? Big govt should stay out of my beliefs or lack of them. these are the primary things on the "new gop"'s agenda. check the house republican bills ( many co sponsored by YOUR TEA PARTY congressmen) if you don't believe me.
@tedrock88 show me some examples.. what I see from the O Administration is continuation of Rendition, Judge Dredd like assasinations of law breakers (from Drones or Seal Teams), increasing size and scope of the TSA giving us a "Police State" feel, decreasing the already minimal free market in health care. You've proven as Mencken said: "The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
THE PEOPLE FUNDING AND ORGANISING THE TEA PARTY ARE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO BUS THOUSANDS OF ILLEGAL MEXICANS INTO THE USA EVERY WEEK TO WORK IN THE GIANT FACTORIES AND SLAUGHTERHOUSES OF THE INDUSTRIAL FOOD BUSINESS.
IS ths supposed to rdicule the tea party? The tea party is not against same sex marriage. It never has been and never wll be. It is aganst out of control spending and socialism.
@Varmfarm...Anger Management 101, go online to dumbass.com and sign up. you really need some help. And learn to read, write and think so you can do just a teense better with your insults....Or are you really 11 years old? Bad boy, go play in traffic.
@varmfarm Woah there Mr. Libertarian... A little anger there? Agreed about how a LOT of libertarians are actually anti-war, pro-drugs, and pro-gay marriage, but unfortunately the 'god' of many Libertarians, Ron Paul, happens to be an anti-gay Christian.
@varmfarm I'd kick your fucking skull in if you were here and dared say that to my face. Seriously. Do you think Liberals can't get violent as fuck and beat your skull in?
@cmfluteguy stupidity? they were being honest. I in no way agree with the Tea Party on most issues but they were clearly saying that marriage equality did not effect their lifes. How does that make them stupid?
@rg0057 i think the original tea party adherents would rather let gay people do whatever they want. that original concept is long since diluted by GOP groups trying to control the "movement"
@rg0057 Most reasonable people, mostly old school conservatives and Libertarians, think marriage is a states rights issue and should have nothing to do with federal law.
@rg0057 There is no 'tea party leadership', we are a movement concerned with the suicidal levels of federal spending on welfare programs like social security & medicare along with the perpetual warfare the federal government engages in.
Anyone claiming to be a 'leader' of the tea party movement is just an arrogant fraud.
"If this is accurate, then the tea party leadership is grossly out of step with their base."
Or...the "base" is changing...and conservatives are losing this one. I mean conservatives did oppose interracial marriage for the same reasons, and that changed.

@tedrock88 you know, I used to have a dog that every single time you'd pet it on its head, it would puke. Nice enough dog. I loved him and learned to not touch his head. it just couldn't help it. When I look at your list of talking points I'm reminded of Toby, my puking dog... It's keyboard vomit, devoid of thought and full of ad hominem... You are shown a narrative from a "progressive" source showing a segment of the tea party that isn't homophobes and your head explodes... Hilarious...

@tedrock88 and I see ZERO social agenda issues coming from the Tea Party writ large but I see economy killing legislation coming from the "progressives" ; increased taxation, increasing "hate crime" laws, "green" laws, "Patient 'Affordability' Act", etc.
All of it is control and you are enabling a boot on my throat. Can the republican's be turned? I'm not hopeful but with herd mentality "deep thinkers" like you out there, the TP has to try. Two party rule is the bane of our Republic, IMO.

@tyrohne Zero social issues? abortion isn't a social issue? big govt should stay out of peoples bodies. marriage equality isn't a social issue? Big govt should stay out of out bedrooms. Affirming the U.S.A. as a "christian nation" isn't a social issue? Big govt should stay out of my beliefs or lack of them. these are the primary things on the "new gop"'s agenda. check the house republican bills ( many co sponsored by YOUR TEA PARTY congressmen) if you don't believe me.

@tedrock88 show me some examples.. what I see from the O Administration is continuation of Rendition, Judge Dredd like assasinations of law breakers (from Drones or Seal Teams), increasing size and scope of the TSA giving us a "Police State" feel, decreasing the already minimal free market in health care. You've proven as Mencken said: "The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."

No, if this is accurate than the media fueled hype is grossly mischaracterizing the Tea Party (which is what I think it is)..

THE PEOPLE FUNDING AND ORGANISING THE TEA PARTY ARE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO BUS THOUSANDS OF ILLEGAL MEXICANS INTO THE USA EVERY WEEK TO WORK IN THE GIANT FACTORIES AND SLAUGHTERHOUSES OF THE INDUSTRIAL FOOD BUSINESS.
NEVER FORGET THAT.

@varmfarm Woah there Mr. Libertarian... A little anger there? Agreed about how a LOT of libertarians are actually anti-war, pro-drugs, and pro-gay marriage, but unfortunately the 'god' of many Libertarians, Ron Paul, happens to be an anti-gay Christian.

The Tea Party base are little grassroots puppets being manipulated by the Tea Party leadership, which is Big Business and the GOP mainstream.

@rg0057 i think the original tea party adherents would rather let gay people do whatever they want. that original concept is long since diluted by GOP groups trying to control the "movement"

@rg0057 Most reasonable people, mostly old school conservatives and Libertarians, think marriage is a states rights issue and should have nothing to do with federal law.
Michaelwiseguy 10 months ago
@rg0057 There is no 'tea party leadership', we are a movement concerned with the suicidal levels of federal spending on welfare programs like social security & medicare along with the perpetual warfare the federal government engages in.
Anyone claiming to be a 'leader' of the tea party movement is just an arrogant fraud.

Or...the "base" is changing...and conservatives are losing this one. I mean conservatives did oppose interracial marriage for the same reasons, and that changed.

I don’t understand; stopping abortion, enforcing DOMA, repealing DADT, and stopping gay rights were all priority over a balanced budget this year.
Even their budget debate was about crushing liberties, not the budget.
So far the teabaggers have contributed to increasing the debt faster than Obama.
