Tea Party’s War on America

Tea Party’s 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 America’s most invaluable assets, its full faith and credit, were incredibly irresponsible. But they didn’t care. Their goal, they believed, was worth blowing up the country for, if that’s 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 they’ll affect the country. And I’m 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 America’s still-ailing economy.

America’s real crisis is not a debt crisis. It’s an unemployment crisis. Yet this agreement not only doesn’t address unemployment, it’s guaranteed to make it worse.

My own view is that Obama should have played the 14th Amendment card, using its language about “the validity of the public debt” to unilaterally raise the debt ceiling.

Is this “end justifies the means” policy he is pushing better? These people are such hypocrates! I like the way this writer cites articles (also from The Times) to prove his point. I think they are mad because we are not as stupid as we look (to them).

[Mouton]

Prisoners, we don’t need no stinkin prisoners!

I am thinking of changing my first name now to Che. It is an honor to be called a terrorist by these thugs...frankly, I’d rather be a freedom fighter than a commie any day.

Evil author spews lies for satan. The left in this country are all satanists... to be a dim... any dim... is to invite the evil of satan into your life and the lives of your family.

Terrorists? Tea Party movement folks are terrorists? Biteme said that. Must be a circulatin'.

The 1960s Marxist-Alinsky street/campus revolutionary rabble and their ideological issue use aspects of terrorism from full-blown terrorists acts (bombing, murder) to mau mauing and street/campus violence (like burning down buildings at Kent State).

No the Nytimese guy is projecting. His side are the terrorists.

[mosaicwolf]

Come on now! Jihad is a bit over the top. Let's call it what it really is - The Second American Revolution.

[all the best]

At best it is a war on the monstrous federal government not America. The government is not the country. As the government grows we shrink. As the government is strong we are dying.

[KarlInOhio]

And I’m not even talking about the terrible toll $2.4 trillion in cuts will take on the poor and the middle class.

List very closely, Joe. There are no cuts. None at all. Every single year more will be spent that in the previous year. All this agreement did was very slightly rein in the galloping increases in planned spending, especially in far future years which will almost certainly be ignored by future Congresses.

Also, Joe, please consider the terrible toll $14 trillion in debt increasing to well over $20 trillion in the next few years will have on the poor, middle class and rich.

NO QUARTER... NO MERCY!

"Dig It. First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, they even shoved a fork into a victim’s stomach! Wild!"
-Weather Underground leader and wife of Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, referring to the Manson murders

"Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that's where it's really at"
--Bill Ayers (1970), quoted in New York Times, September 11, 2001:

excerpt...

In 1969, Ayers and his wife convened a "War Council" in Flint Michigan, whose purpose was to launch a military front inside the United States with the purpose of helping Third World revolutionaries conquer and destroy it.

Taking charge of the podium, dressed in a high-heeled boots and a leather mini-skirt – her signature uniform – Dorhn incited the assembled radicals to join the war against "Amerikkka" and create chaos and destruction in the "belly of the beast."

Her voice rising to a fevered pitch, Dohrn raised three fingers in a "fork salute" to mass murderer Charles Manson whom she proposed as a symbol to her troops. Referring to the helpless victims of the Manson Family as the "Tate Eight" (the most famous was actress Sharon Tate) Dohrn shouted:

Dig It. First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, they even shoved a fork into a victim’s stomach! Wild!..."

"Today William Ayers is not merely an author favored by the New York Times, but a Distinguished Professor of Education at the University of Illinois, Chicago.

His Lady Macbeth [Bernardine Dohrn] is not merely a lawyer, but a member of the American Bar Association’s governing elite, as well as the director of Northwestern University’s Children and Family Justice Center."

More whining from the NYT.

Sad to see it; it was once a great paper.

[Jagdgewehr]

Published idiocy from the mind of a leftist.

Honestly, who cares?

Indeed.

[kittymyrib]

This weak sissy certainly couldn’t take the real facts as outlined by David Walker on CNBC this morning. The USA has 61 TRILLION dollars of unfunded liabilities. We are in far worse shape than Greece is.

This piddly bill is barely worth mentioning when one faces the coming catastrophe if China’s economy starts deflating and they want to keep their money instead of loaning it to us.

[TheBigIf]

The email I just sent this guy.....

Your extreme rhetoric in calling those you disagree with ‘terrorists’ is typical of the left-wing. It has been the progressive movement and the demcorat party though who have a rich history of using terrorism. The KKK was the terrorist wing of the democrat party. After republicans had defeated the KKK it was the progressive movement that again revived them. Many of the policies of the demcorats and the progressives today are still based upon the terrorist policies of the KKK. Abortion and the murder of millions of babies started with the KKK, separation of church and state was started by the KKK as well. Then of course you have the other terrorist progressive left-wing groups like the Weather Underground, ELF, ALF, CodePink, etc… the left-wing progressives use any means possible to destroy their fellow Americans and to create policies that even target our children and future generations. The only jobs that your policies would create are government jobs that would further attack the liberty of our children and future generations. You should be ashamed of yourself but instead you seem to take joy in the hate you support and the misery for America you espouse.

BOTH OBAMA AND OSAMA HAVE
FRIENDS WHO BOMBED THE PENTAGON
_________________________________________________________

From HumanEvents.com, April 29, 2008:
"By all accounts, he [Obama friend and associate, Bill Ayers] was a ferocious, violent, revolutionary Marxist in his halcyon days as a Weatherman leader. He and his Weatherman bombers were enamored of Ho Chi Minh, Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, Mao Tse-tung -- indeed, all the murderous heroes on the Left. Referring to the Weatherman members in August 1969, he said (according to the FBI): 'We’re revolutionary Communists.'

He got off on the group’s multiple explosions, too, and discusses them rather lovingly in his memoir.

Ideal Bombing Weather:
'Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon,' he writes (although he concedes it was really a group effort). 'The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them.' (p. 256 in the 2003 edition.)

BOTH OBAMA AND OSAMA HAVE/HAD
FRIENDS WHO WANTED TO BOMB FORT DIX

From David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com/DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
March 6, 1970: "three members of the Weather Underground accidentally killed themselves in a Manhattan townhouse while attempting to build a powerful bomb they had intended to plant at a social dance in Fort Dix, New Jersey -- an event that was to be attended by U.S. Army soldiers. Hundreds of lives could have been lost had the plot been successfully executed."
http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6808

"The bomb was intended to be planted at a non-commissioned officer's dance at Fort Dix, New Jersey.
The bomb was packed with nails to inflict maximum casualties upon detonation."

Obama Gave Bill Ayers' Book a Rave Review

Obama is the one waging jihad on the American people.

[MulberryDraw]

America’s real crisis is not a debt crisis.

So prove it. Don't just throw this comment out and leave it. Dig out your high school math skills and prove this statement. By the way, what where Obama's algebra grades? That might be a relevant thing to know in this argument.

Review your knowledge of exponential curves and look at our governments debt.
