Tea Partys War on America By JOE NOCERA
You know what they say: Never negotiate with terrorists. It only encourages them.
These last few months, much of the country has watched in horror as the Tea Party Republicans have waged jihad on the American people. Their intransigent demands for deep spending cuts, coupled with their almost gleeful willingness to destroy one of Americas most invaluable assets, its full faith and credit, were incredibly irresponsible. But they didnt care. Their goal, they believed, was worth blowing up the country for, if thats what it took.
Like ideologues everywhere, they scorned compromise. When John Boehner, the House speaker, tried to cut a deal with President Obama that included some modest revenue increases, they humiliated him. After this latest agreement was finally struck on Sunday night amounting to a near-complete capitulation by Obama Tea Party members went on Fox News to complain that it only called for $2.4 trillion in cuts, instead of $4 trillion. It was head-spinning.
All day Monday, the blogosphere and the talk shows mused about which party would come out ahead politically. Honestly, who cares? What ought to matter is not how these spending cuts will affect our politicians, but how theyll affect the country. And Im not even talking about the terrible toll $2.4 trillion in cuts will take on the poor and the middle class. I am talking about their effect on Americas still-ailing economy.
Americas real crisis is not a debt crisis. Its an unemployment crisis. Yet this agreement not only doesnt address unemployment, its guaranteed to make it worse.

Obama is the only one that got what he wanted.
His only concern was to NOT kick this down the road to a year from now because it would hinder his ability to pull off a victory with his voter fraud again.
“Che” was gay /s...And one of the most notorious mass murderers in modern history...Next to Pol Pot, Stalin et. al.

As Patrick Henry might have said: If this be jihad, then make the most of it.
Ofcourse they do. They have to.
I wrote, a year and a half ago, when I was blogging We are quickly reaching a time using history as our reference that the only way to move this leftist movement forward is through the use of terror on the citizens who are part of a resistance to the furthering of it. Things have not shifted course, they have only deteriorated. Therefore, we are even closer to that time.
Well, you know, Marxist-Leninists would say the same thing. It's so simple, the way they think.
They perceive that an "April Theses" moment is right around the corner. And when Marxist-Leninists get in this mood, the bodies tend to start piling up.
“The TEA Party’s War on Socialist Amerika” would be an accurate headline.
