Tea Party not in step with the majority

Neither were our Founders. The revolutionaries began as the minority, but they were focused and ready to give their all for what they believed.

As per usual the progressive liberal communist media will never acknowledge it is obama who would shut down the government.

The fiscal responsibility of the government is administering programs that benefit the safety, welfare, equal treatment of its people and care for the environment. The recent visit from Pope Francis was pretty clear on this.

I must have missed the memo that says the Pope is our de facto leader on government policy...

Who knew !

What political philosophy does the author think a majority of Americans follow? Socialism, Fascism, Communism, Libertarianism?

It seems that 47% of Americans are members of the Gibmedat Party.

"Any representative who advocates shutting down the government as a means to an end endangers the stability of the country and its people.



Translation; Any politician who dares to cause the Democrats to filibuster or the POTUS to veto must be un-American!

James Harris is a retired federal air traffic controller...
___

Scary to think that someone with such distorted thinking was in a position of controlling air traffic. Glad he’s retired. Now he should retire from writing.

LOL....funny how libs consider themselves *entitled* to their own sets of facts. This line was particularly amusing....

....The fiscal responsibility of the government is administering programs that benefit the safety, welfare, equal treatment of its people and care for the environment.

The recent visit from Pope Francis was pretty clear on this.


This idiot could not be MORE wrong. I missed that “programs” edict in the Constitution....especially the environment one.

Oh, and who gives a flying fig what the Socialist Pope has to say about what the responsibilities of OUR government are?

They hate Obamacare, I fail to see a problem with everyone having access to health insurance

I hate Obamacare because it doesn't work, is way overpriced, doesn't do what it was supposed to do...

I would agree our healthcare system needed some serious tweaking, everyone should have access to "medical care" not necessarily "medical insurance"

Several simple "fixes" would have fixed a vast majority of the problems...

... more than 200,000 guns were reported stolen last year.

And that pales in comparison to the numbers lost in boating accidents. No wonder so many gun dealers have been having banner sales!

{”James Harris is a retired federal air traffic controller”}

The fact that this person has misstated and misunderstood the positions of Tea Party voters is not the worst part of the article.
The knowledge that he ever had any position of responsibility is frightening.
Maybe he was younger and saner then.

Does this means he got a nice FedGov gig after President Reagan busted the PATCO union?

His ‘majority’ can’t do the math to see the government spends more than it takes in, so he and his majority should voluntarily pay more in taxes and immediately make up the shortfall and then the TEA Party has no reason to exist and he will be happy...

More Liberal Fantasy—Tea Party= Anti-Black KKK. The Tea Party was kicked to the curb with that before —but no more. We are the Not so Silent Majority Now! Trump has changed the rules—Love him or hate him—he has ripped up the old playbook. He has changed America forever—The days or Liberal PC and “Feel Good” Politics—is done. We are seeing the end of the Progressive Dominance and their RINO Running Dogs.

Last I heard polls showed 20% were liberal and 40% were conservative. Tea Party/conservatives are not in step with most of the politicians in the Department of Corruption in Washington but the grass roots seem to be much more conservative than corrupt.
