I need to get something off of my chest. I talked to an old friend today. Had not talked to her in years. The subject of the election and politics came up and I informed her that I was an ardent Tea Party supporter.
I am a true believer in the Tea Party and its stated mission and endorsement of a smaller less powerful federal government that adheres and limits itself to the powers granted to it by our constitution.
Back to the conversation and here is where it got ugly fast. Her response to my admitted preference for the Tea Party was thus, "Oh my God, that is such a racist organization." She might have been a liberal democrat, yep, ya think? I told her that I did not want to talk to her anymore (Gee, I don't know why, she only called me a racist) and goodbye.
This got me thinking about why I dislike democrats. Remember back when the Tea Party was formed, just before Obamacare was passed? Do you remember how they had to delegitimize the opposition which was primarily the Tea Party at that time? Do you remember how they lied through their teeth along with their partners in the media when they claimed that we were a racist organization, over and over and over again? Do you remember when Elijah Cummings tried to frame us, as a matter of fact he did frame us along with a willing accomplice, the media, which was quite willing to go along despite ample evidence to the contrary?
And do you remember how thousands and thousands of actual racists in our country heard on TV that the Tea Party was a racist organization and then said to their own racist selves "Hellfire, since I'm a dang racist I want to be in the Tea Party Too!" FYI, you know this but I will say it anyway, in my 15 (or so) years on this site I have never read anything even remotely racist. Never.
It seems like we got saddled with those illiterate racist creeps for all time.
Yes sir and yes maa'm, I was reminded why there is at least one reason why I don't like establishment democrats.
I was also reminded of this. Every time I get down about things I can count on Free Republic to pick me up and remind me that I am on the correct side of the issues when I stand here with my friends. I am on the correct side of the issues and I am standing on moral high ground, my friends don't step into the gutter to get their way like the opposition party does. For the most part we take the righteous path. We are the good guys.
All of this and you guys make me laugh like hell, I can't believe some of the wit in this place.
Feeling a lot better, audios amigos, you racist bastards!
I believe that the TEA party is a lot bigger than thought and extremely quite as evidenced by the election of President Trump.
I cant talk to most of my college friends. They remained liberals and went further left. I figured things out at age 20 and am more conservative than Rush, but he was the guy who put things in context for me and developed my thinking ability for defending a consistent cohesive worldview.
That just shows how ignorant these lefties are. I would avoid her myself.
Sieg Heil
I remember. You are not alone. I firmly believe God is on our side. Keep your chin up!
Don't.
The best response possible. Completely lays the responsibility on her for being rude, and an idiot who simply barks out meaningless slogans when she hears a bell - just as her media masters have trained her.
And now .. the LEFT is trying to “replicate the Tea Party” for the DemocRATS - NOT UNDERSTANDING that the Tea Party was a broad-based motivated voluntary organizing group. Nobody was leading it from the RNC.
However, the “Women’s march” which the DemocRATS claimed was a “tea-party like movement” was NOTHING OF THE KIND. THE WOMEN’S MARCH WAS LED BY THE ULTRA LEFT-WING OF THE DNC - WHICH INCLUDED COMMUNISTS AND MARXISTS.
The DemocRATS do not have ANY SPONTANEOUS ORGANIZATION OF ANY KIND .. IT IS NOT ALLOWED. THEY WANT CONTROL OVER EVERYTHHING .. ALL THE TIME.
Geeeeee .. where have we seen that before .. maybe in local governments run by DemocRATS?
There never was anything racist about the TP or about the people who got Trump elected, it’s a total red herring. But the Tea Party never really amounted to anything other than in a few areas, attempts at creating an organization were stillborn and rife wtih the usual corruption and ego trips. Got all the organization we need right here, it’s called President Trump.
There are none so blind as those who will not see.
“And do you remember how thousands and thousands of actual racists in our country heard on TV that the Tea Party was a racist organization and then said to their own racist selves “Hellfire, since I’m a dang racist I want to be in the Tea Party Too!””
Umm...no. Did that happen?
Anybody opposing liberalism is by their definition, racist, bigoted, homophobic, etc.
I went to State from 1962-66 and everyone I am still in contact with on FB are all Christian conservatives. It is nice.
Valid rant!
I personally believe libs and conservatives can RARELY be friends. At least close ones. Not anymore. Too far apart.
I also think 1/4 of FReepers are insane degenerates but that’s based on FR letting me join :)
How to Persuade the Other Party by Scott Adams
I keep changing all the time. When Clinton was pres. I was a misogynist. When Bush became pres. I decided to become a xenophobe instead. When 0bama became pres. I had to rethink everything again and it was clear to me that being a racist was the only way to go. Until now, anyway, because I’ve finally realized that I should be a NAZI and nothing could persuade me otherwise.
I hope Trump wins re-election because I don’t want to change again for a good long time.
From what I saw online, despite the signs and the ugly stupid hats, the March was led by a Muslima with a Sharia agenda. The far left *liberation* agenda was just local color.
I keep wondering if they are using the pink hats as a lead-in to the hajib.
