Hello all,
I'm a new user and I had a question that I was hoping I could have answered, which is, why is the Tea Party so hated among both Democrats and Republicans? It seems to me that returning to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights as the basis on which we pass laws and run our country, in my opinion, seems like a very smart move, considering the direction our once great country has been going these past decades. Hoping someone could shed some light on this.
Thanks,
Okay, now that you have heard from all the shrill circus monkeys from the left who engage in the same tired liberal canards, let's deal with some facts and corrections.
First; what makes you think that TEA Partiers are hated by Republicans? I would argue that it is only a few inside the beltway Republican leaders whose time in Washington has run its course and see their jobs now, and rightfully so, at risk. I'd be interested to see where you are getting your impressions; most likely, in the media.
Secondly, the irrational hatred coming from Democrats is predictable and expected. The TEA party movement represents a very real threat to the status quo that has developed between old time Republicans and Democrats that has led to the "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" politics that has led to this massive growth of Government.
Republicans, having historically been the minority, developed a relationship with big spending party Democrats who will throw party Republicans a bone now and then just to get along.
The new TEA Party Republicans who are now actually representing their Constituents are a threat to this good'ol boy long term relationship. They are even a greater threat when they willfully ignore the dire warnings of the media elitists and their inside the beltway pundits."
How dare these young upstarts disrupt the applecart and massive network of power brokers we have worked all theses decades to ensure".
You are 100% correct in your assessment that returning Government to its Constitutional basis is a good thing. The TEA party movement, I believe, is helping move us in that direction as can be witnessed by the visceral reaction to them. That is a good sign.
What is happening right now with the Governments shutdown is the Constitution in action and exactly how it was designed by the brilliant men who created her.
I hope this shed some light over the shrill closed minded cries from the forums dimwit class.
In closing, here some other things we need to fight for to acheive a true Republic for the people and not the sheeple;
1) term limits of three terms for the house and two for the Senate with no crossover.
2) abolish the current tax code and supplant it with a Fair (consumption) Tax
3) eliminate all Government subsidizing
And,
4) eliminate the Departments of Education, Housing, Energy and Agriculture.
