Stan's Vlog #2: The Tea Party 2/22/10

PLEASE READ: The second part of this video; addressed directly to the ordinary tea party supporter expresses my disagreement with their view of the role of government; this is entirely open to discussion and disagreement; and I am in no way saying that my view of government is beyond reproach.

The First part of this video regards the dangerous tactic of letting anyone into their organization in order to gain numbers; this is not a point of contention between me and them, it is an admonition that they are irresponsible for doing this.

@Bassbait first comment in a year

I actually may ending up bringing the points in this video in my history class, because tomorrow I'm supposed to talk about the recent tea party in class. I have a feeling that half of the people in my class don't know about the tea party at all, and I would like to bring up the points about the fake "tea party"

[Bassbait]

If "stan's vlog" is so ugly, can't you just use something like "stan's thoughts"?

@standinstann ??? The group doesn't like big government; that's is the point of the protest.

What did you think it was about?

And anyone can show. How could these to things be mutually exclusive?

[standinstann]

@poisonapple16

Contrary to what you think I'm saying, I don't want it to be their funeral; I certainly hope you're right, and i hope that eventually, somebody. somewhere, will stop defining the tea party as a group who doesn't like big government, and insisting that it's "just anyone who shows up" in the same breath.

@standinstann As I stated I doubt anyone was invited under those premises.

I certainly don't think Ryan Sorba is coming back soon.

If they do invite him back; then it's their funeral.

There are no 'invitations' to tea party protest. Anyone can show up; which was my original point.

@poisonapple16

I'm not asking anyone to apologize for anything, I'm asking them not to invite certain people and groups, and to denounce certain rhetoric.

[poisonapple16]

@standinstann I don't think anyone is allying themselves with Ryan Sorba.

Do you realize the trap they are setting?

Liberals LOVE making conservatives apologize; they live for it. As they are a bunch of left-wing assholes they hold themselves to no standards. Therefore. they NEVER have to apologize.

It's a useful tool in diminishing any conservative opinion.

It would appear most conservatives have figured out the apology game and just aren't playing.

Eventually, I hope you will too.

@poisonapple16

It probably wasn't, but that's why you don't ally your self with people like him, JUST because he happens to be against the Obama administration.

[poisonapple16]

@standinstann It was my understanding that he was supposed to be speaking on a different topic.

I find it difficult to believe this line was in the program...

....

2:30 Natural Law. Ryan Sorba comments on faggots and mocks those who support them.

....

Conservatives do dumb things; but that's just plain stupid.
