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.

Watched in horror? Most people I know were cheering their heads off.

I don't remember the Slimes ever publishing an article about ACORN's war on America.

I guess only Eric Holder's people should be allowed to participate in the political process.

"Should we even take prisoners?"

Short answer: NO!

We'd just have to feed them on the Federal dime. Wait, we're already doing that.

Cannot help but laugh a gentle laugh. All Americans, who give a damn and want to save this country, are TEA Party persons now that the politicians and media have spoken. I would like to thank the politicians and the media for telling any American, who wants to save this nation, exactly who the politicians and media are in actuality. Americans know how the politicians and the media think and behaved. Forward with the TEA! Our ranks have swelled! On to 2012!

LLS, allow me to suggest the following. Take prisoners, but then place them in servitude. Pay them at minimum wage and make them to pay off their personal portion of the debt through labor for the common good (unskilled labor on highways, forestry, etc.) At about $150,000 a crack, they will be working a long time before they are done and the public will benefit considerably from the cheap labor. Then at the end of their servitude, feed them to lions.

I don’t know if tea party rally’s are still happening, I’ve not heard of any in my state (Al) but we need to keep them happening.

Wait until fall. If there were any Tea Party rallies in Texas at this time, no one would attend. If they did attend, they'd risk heatstroke with temps over 100°.

You are thinking of the wrong books. The Hobbits are in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, not Harry Potter, and yes they win at great cost.

Harry wins also.

“Their intransigent demands for deep spending cuts”...are the appropriate beginning of getting this abomination of a government back within the constraints of the US Constitution.

The New York Slimes...All the news that’s fibbed to print.

Confession (Manson Family)

When they got in the house, Susan [Atkins] said that in the living room there was a man on the couch and a woman on the chair reading. Then some of Susan's group stayed in the living room, while Susan went into the bedroom where Sharon was sitting on the bed talking to Jay Sebring. They quickly put nooses over Sharon and Jay's heads so that if they moved they would choke.

Frykowski ran for the door. "He was full of blood," she said and claimed that she had stabbed him three or four times. "He was bleeding and he ran to the front part, and would you believe that he was there hollering 'Help, help, somebody please help me,' and nobody came? Then we finished him off."

"Sharon was the last to die," Susan said with a laugh as she described how Sharon was begging her, " Please don't kill me. Please don't kill me. I don't want to die. I want to live. I want to have my baby. I want to have my baby."

Susan said she just looked at Sharon straight in the eye and said, "Look, bitch, I don't care about you. I don't care if you're going to have a baby. You had better be ready. You're going to die and I don't feel anything about it...In a few minutes I killed her."

Susan said she saw that there was Sharon's blood on her hand and she tasted it. "Wow, what a trip! To taste death, and yet give life."

Susan Atkins, one of the killers, writes “Pig” on the house’s front door, in Sharon Tate’s blood.”

"When police arrived at the LaBianca murder scene, they found various words written in blood. On the living room walls, there was "rise" and "death to pigs." Carved into Leno LaBianca's stomach was "war." Alone these seem to give no clue, but another writing on the refrigerator did. It was the incorrectly spelt "healter skelter." This led some investigators to believe the writings may have been influenced by the so-called "White Album" by the Beatles which included the song "Helter Skelter." Another song on the album, "Blackbird," used the word "arise" which may have inspired the bloody use of "rise."

The phase "death to pigs" was likely inspired by the Beatles' song "Piggies." Had police made the connection, they would have realized that "pig" was used in the previous murders at the Gary Hinman and Sharon Tate houses. At Hinman's, bloody writing said "political piggie" while "pig" was written at the Tate house."

“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.”

$2.4 trillion on $45 trillion in spending projections. It’s not even a real cut, its a 5% reduction in a ‘baseline’ that doubles the spending on the prior decade, and fills only a fraction of the $14 trillion hole we have to fill.

It is indeed head-spinning to imagine this massive Big Government spending as some huge victory for fiscal conservative position.

The liberals have lost it in more ways than one.

I’ve come to learn that the more the left is infuriated the more are strategy is working!

They’re showing their “class”, or lack of it. I say let everybody see their hate, because most people don’t agree with them anyway - they don’t see that they’re making themselves look like fools, pushing more away from their position.

This is self-destruct in motion :)

To defeat the left, expose the left.

Their “true face” is despicable to all decent human beings.

Best to get them to expose themselves than to try to do it yourself, it’s more believable when you show decent people the “fruits” of leftists than to just tell them what they truly believe.

One thing that seem to have been overlooked in all the debate over this bill.

Headed into a brutal 2012 election campaign, 0 has just completely demoralized his base.
