9/12 DC Tea Party: Freedom Plaza Rally (3 of 3)

[BoredomCorner]

Question: when is the Tea Party going to protest on Wall Street, for all of those greedy corporations screwing up the economy so badly as to need that stimulus in the first place?

[FutureNews2point0]

You never saw this on the news.

[Bigbird5553]

thats because it wasn't that big of an event.

[iomega]

teabaggers have no grasp of history. The Tea Party was about taxation without representation. There's a significant difference from the past and now. I'm sure those people are too dumb to look it up.

[Brantoc]

Well I sure am taxed to death, and sure don't feel like I'm represented.

[BoredomCorner]

@Brantoc At least you have a theoretical choice in the matter -- the original Tea Party members didn't.

[Brantoc]

@BoredomCorner Choice? well The Democrats are Liberal Socialists, and the Republicans of late have been Progressive Socialists. Sure doesn't sound like much choice..

[BellyButtonQuiz]

@Brantoc I do not believe Republicans are Progressive Socialists.  Neither

Progressive nor Socialist fit them, imo. The bad Republicans have been

"sell outs" imo ... controlled by the elite ... sold out to lobbyists ... and also

just not good protectors of our Constitution or our tax dollars. But I see them

as enemies of the Progressive movement and ... not socialist ... because there

are good Republicans who are conservative, which is very different from

Democrats' philosophy.

[Brantoc]

@BellyButtonQuiz Your right.. it depends on the Republican, but several recent people have REALLY need bad. When people are Pro stimulus, Pro Obama-Care, anti Tax Cuts, anti Defence it's hard to say they are conservative.

[BellyButtonQuiz]

@Brantoc ... Yep, Brantoc, that's why, hopefully, those people will be and

are being voted out of office ... along with the Democrats who support such

things ....

@iomega you want to tell us the difference dickhead? we're being taxed out the wazoo and spent to hell with an insane idiot for a president. the tea tax was like 1.5%, obama's gonna kill us! 1.5% would be nice, if he crawled into a hole for the next 2 years and left us alone, DUMBFUCK!

[iomega]

@mrbadx19 I'll bring you up to speed since you obviously slept through history class. The original tea party was against taxation without a sanctioned consent by the colonies' representatives.

The tea party of today... bunch of ignorant douches like you whining about taxes in general despite the fact it was voted in by the republic form of representation. See the difference? Hope that helps you! Feel free ask if you need more tutorial help from me again. :)

[mrbadx19]

@iomega ignorant? we are taxed 10 ways to sunday, in 1773 there were no income taxes, sales taxes, real estate taxes, liquor taxes, tobacco taxes, fuel taxes, road taxes, death taxes, tanning taxes... need i go on?

the federal government/constitution (hence, constitutional government) was formed to protect citizens from an overzealous leadership.

consider yourself brought up to speed, dickweed!

[iomega]

@mrbadx19 1773 there wasn't US military that sucks up over $550 billion a year or a border patrol preventing illegals from crossing the border, douchebag.

[mrbadx19]

@iomega what border patrol is preventing millions from getting in? millions are getting in!!! some fuckhead at work approached me last week asking me to sign a petition/postcard to protest immigration law and arizona's "hate law", i turned to my computer, brought up mexico's immigration laws and told him, i want their laws for the USA, he walked away from my cube, sad and dejected, he didn't even know the laws of mexico.

American people are so lucky to be given the right of freedom, and be able to express what they believe in, even when it is different from what the officials or medias wants them to believe. I went there on that day because I wanted to, no one was my sponsor, so as every one else I met there.

[starbucks3954]

I know, those protesters aren't paid at all. Glenn Beck gets paid by companies to create fear about a bill that helps the average family pay less for insurance. Then protesters go out, mainly for fears of "communism" , that Beck spits out every second sentence. Politicians get scared, ignore the moral thing, and vote the bill down. THEN the insurance companies get paid because they have no real competition.

But no protesters are paid at all... So it's okay.

[michelleyang0625]

I was born and raised in China, where every kid was taught that communist is the best, Capitalism is evil. No one was allowed to protest because if you say anything bad about the government or the communist party, you broke their law and you will be arrested and put in jail. Neighbors and co-workers, relatives and close friends were encourage to spy on each other, so they can arrest before you even think of protesting.... ...

[starbucks3954]

Yeah, I remember when liberals protested the Bush era, that went well. How they were called anti-american, unpatriotic and basically traitors. My how times have changed,

[tumadros]

That's not communism; that's totalitarianism.

[BellyButtonQuiz]

@michelleyang0625 my heart goes out to you, I can't imagine living in a country where you are so oppressed that you cannot even voice your opinion if its negative about the government without fear.

[BoredomCorner]

@BellyButtonQuiz Try living in Canada -- which has a VERY conservative government, I might add, that's not very different from these clowns.

[BellyButtonQuiz]

@BoredomCorner ... dear BoredomCorner, I am confused by your remark,

as I see socialized medicine as a progressive idea, which is opposite of

conservative idea.

[mcmgrant77]

OH MY GOD ! MORE IDIOTS !

[Navy1Fan]

LOL. We are against gov't policies not people. People pound on black conservatives. Call them all kinds of disgraceful racially charged names,i.e. Uncle Toms, etc. We disagree with a president's policies who happens to be black and we're the racists? Look in the mirror fellow voyager on the earth.

[TheAerialbomb]

Oh yeah, there are no racists in that crowd. Their wives are happy to have them out of the house because at least it's one day not being beaten up. Do you think any of them can read or do they just copy the letters off the FOX channel. Folks, you're being played by BIG CORPORATIONS...... I'm sorry for you. Search the names of the sponsors to learn where their money comes from. Ask your Congressman how much he earns and how much of a raise he got this year. Learn to think for yourself.
