ORIGINAL: Owner59 The Tea Party is pushing back against what it sees as a campaign by Obama supporters and the media to grant amnesty to the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants living in the U.S. by highlighting the "horrors" of illegal immigration. Yes, but the Tea Party is happy to over look any illegal actions by US Citizens like speeding, jay-walking, and illegal download of movies. Weren't they JUST IN THE NEWS, for displaying racists words and actions? I guess the NAACP, was indeed correct then. If these tea party idiots, were truely against law breakers, then, they would have to turn in either themselves or others they know, who broke the law. Riding in a vehcile, and your friend is 20 mph over the speed limit....is an accesory to a crime! We do not see this among Tea Party activists. I guess, according the the Tea Party, it's ok for Americans to: quote:
ORIGINAL: Owner59 ...causing car accidents, raping the wives of Americans and committing murder. But if one is an 'illegal' then its just WRONG. What sort of insanity is this!?!??!?!?! quote:
ORIGINAL: housesub4you Hmmmm.......11 million out of 350 million are fucking everything up. That would be about right, actually. But it wasn't a bunch of poor illegal immigrants, but super wealthy business people. The whole 'Goldman Sachs and the Dervative Scam' comes to mind. Or how KBR, was given a no bid contract for our troops in Iraq, under the Bush Administraiton. Where was the outrage among Republicans over that? quote:
ORIGINAL: thornyhappy BTW, sure hope there's some fact checking done on this project. Tea Party activists check facts? Its as laughable an idea, as Fox News, checking facts. Heck, REPORTING the facts, minus the opinionated comments would be wonderful. But we all know by now, that Fox News is just the mouth-piece of the GOP propaganda machine (pretty sad to say it, but its true). quote:
ORIGINAL: truckinslave Yawn. I'm shocked that the left only wants one side of the story presented. SHOCKED, I tell you. Back to : yawn Yes, because the right, presents BOTH sides of the arguement, 'fair and balance' and without opinion? There are a heck of alot of videos on youtube.com, about instances in which Fox News conviently left out vital information to make its case on a subject matter. One such group that does report this crap of Fox News is...Media Matters. A few months ago, some plane was reported on Fox News as having someone on their 'no fly' passenger list the goverment keeps. I actually didn't believe Fox News and looked to other news sources to verify the information. Right there, I did something 95% of conservatives whom are Republican, DON'T DO! Finally, ever notice, that conservatives seem to be the 'un-cultured', 'uneducated', and 'unwise'? On these boards, those who believe they are non-right or non-liberal (since popeye1250 declares himself conservative when its 'ok', to be one), actually behave in this manner. Their replies, are 90%, shorter then four sentences in length. usually display little real thought process, and can often easily be crushed with sound arguements. Not that being crushed by sound arguements stops them, from going a step further to do it again and again. Like those who say 'Creationism' is correct, and that 'The Theory of Evolution' is 'just a theory or guess'. I equate it to George Orwell's '1984'. The main character, explains to the reader how the dictionary is revised with fewer (not more), words, so that the population becomes dumber, and easier to control. Likewise, limiting news coverage, that promoted the 'party' in a positive manner, and their enemies in a negative manner. (sounds like Fox News, doesnt it?) I just dont like the direction Republicans are trying to push this country towards. Its ugly, hateful, frightful, and evil. They are 'ok', that Republicans, under the Bush Administration violated people's 4th Amendment rights with the Patriot Act. Or that, funding the Iraq war based on false information was acceptable. But boy, do they rail the President, for posting accurate information as its known at the time! As President Barlett (played by actor Martin Sheen) in the TV series 'The West Wing' put it: quote:
"If you have the facts, argue the facts. If you have the evidence, argue the evidence. If you have neither the facts nor the evidence, slam your hand down on the table loud enough, to block the other guy's facts and evidence!" I think that, right there, best explains the Republican mentality when it comes to our country. They hold little credibility. Little integrity, honesty, and independence (as seen during the Health Care, final bill comments). Even now, we don't see anything out of the GOP, as actions to help America. Since, to them, (insane view point I guess), if the country's economy fails, President Obama fails. If President Obama fails, they win. So they do have motivation, to see the country not only come to a grinding halt, but actually start to splinter and tear itself apart. We've seen it with actions to filibuster ANYTHING, including stuff that once, would not have been considered filibustering for (like filling vanacies in the White House for 'higher level' file clerks (not sure of the actual titles). I would not vote a single Republican, whom displays this attitude, in even, the remote sense. That the 'ends', justify the 'means'.
