I saw this lickspittle on PBS briefly over the weekend.

I detest the worm.

Sounds like Joseph Goebbles from good ole uncle adolph’s camp during the nazi run at world domination. The saying went “The bigger the lie the more they will believe it”. Amazing that these idiot assclowns are trying to persuade those that are not fooled by the fool! He needs to go home and rest his neck.

What the tea party and Boehner did not reckon with is that Obama and the Democrats are done being intimidated by the use of extra-constitutional means to extort concessions that the right cannot win through normal legislative and electoral methods.

Sure, E.J. Just like the 'Rats fiddled with Senate rules to pass the Unaffordable Care Act.

you need to change your meds.

“Stevie-Dee” inserted his comments in the mix...

The exploding heads trying to keep up with that guy are failing miserably...

Never thought someone like that would actually have an account to reply to such an article...

Personally I think that this is the ‘final’ trump card of the administration. SNAP/EBT/SSDI/SSI all turned off and the ensuing chaos allows for the ‘use of force’ in restoring law and order. And who would get the blame? Why those horrific Tea Partiers and their ‘tools’ in the house of Representatives.

Never mind all of the efforts to fund the government EXCEPT for Obamacare, that didn’t happen obviously because the ‘oh-so-reasonable’ Democrats and Obama wouldn’t have let that happen. Or so the MSM will be saying to the Low-information-voters and the ‘thug’ base of the party.

The tea party started in a small way during the TARP bailout by Bush in October 2008. It launched in February 2009 after the inauguration of Barack Obama and his signing of the Porculus Bill. Within 2 months, over a million Americans around the country were in the streets on April 15 2009. By May/June, Janeane Garofalo launched the campaign of defamation of the Tea Party by calling its motivation racist, racism pure.

The Tea Party shifted into high gear during the August recesses of 2009 with the town meeting campaign of meeting their elected representatives.

In November 2010, the Republicans had an historical sweep of the House of Representatives, governorships, state legislatures down to dogcatchers nationwide.

Soon after the Tea Party House was installed, the Tea Party was declared dead. I'd love to know all the times since then the Tea Party has been declared dead. This is just another time. Just wait until the RINO's, including big names will lose their primaries and get replaced with Ted Cruz Republicans.

This country is beyond reconciliation, especially with the left, from the POTUS down, stoking the fires by calling us arsonists, terrorists, teabaggers etc.

The Liberals have yet to see the end of the Tea Party. The Patriots have not begun to fight! There is no surrender for people who love freedom. They better be looking for a new line of work because they will fall with their dummy-prop president.

He might take the opportunity to cut off all entitlement checks, and blame it on the Republicans. If the EBT/SNAP money is cut off, our cities could explode.

But that would exterminate their own voters. They must think they have vote fraud perfected to the degree where they can risk it.

At that point, future elections will be moot.

It will be rule by emergency decree under the emergency powers act.

Game over.

“...if they just backed off a little on the control freakery and let the economy prosper, they could have plenty of big government programs to keep themselves in office and still not crash the whole system.”

They WANT to crash the system. They CAUSE chaos, blame and demonize a convenient target (the Jews in Germany in the 30s, Christians here now), and then present themselves as having the answer, all the while gaming the system and putting themselves into consolidated positions of power.

To understand the left, all you really need do is LISTEN to them; when they tell you they’re going to do something to you, believe it. They mean it. It may take them a couple decades, but they’re like venereal disease; they never go away, and they just keep passing it on to warp another generation.

“...I suspect most of us would even tolerate high taxes if we felt we were actually getting something tangible for our money....”

I wouldn’t. I understand your point, but taxes should be one single flat tax, that everybody pays. Say, 2% of your total income, once a year. No loopholes, nothing. Flat tax, and get outta our faces.

Sales tax on goods? That’s fair; Everybody pays the same for the goods. The more you use, the more you pay.

“...it’s about control, of everyone and everything,...”

It always has been.
