San Antonio Tea Party

[MannyIsGod]

Because the silenty majority is getting politically active, they aren't supposed to do that. they are supposed to go to work build the nation pay taxes, obey the laws, and let the more intelligent more morally enlightened run the country.They are supposed to know their place, and if for one minute the thought crosses their mind that they have a right to self determination, the more intelligent more morally enlightend people ridicule and debase them,trivialize them as humans. if that fails more violent methods are deployed. The people cave.

I don't believe you know what the world majority means.

Remember when Dubya was dumping piles (pallots actually) of $100s into Iraq? Where was the 'conservative' outrage then? hmmmmmmm....

The US flew nearly $12bn in shrink-wrapped $100 bills into Iraq, then distributed the cash with no proper control over who was receiving it and how it was being spent.

...In the year after the invasion of Iraq in 2003 nearly 281 million notes, weighing 363 tonnes, were sent from New York to Baghdad for disbursement to Iraqi ministries and US contractors. Using C-130 planes, the deliveries took place once or twice a month with the biggest of $2,401,600,000 on June 22 2004, six days before the handover.

Who called you anti democratic?

I'll answer for you, no one.

You said "you can stop acting like this is anything other than an anti democratic measure"

[micca]

Enlighten me .

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah, go back and and reread the posts and tell me if you figure what I was talking about. Or you can pray on it if you'd like.

Its not Bush bashing, its questioning the motives of a group who says they hated what Bush did but form up less than 3 months after he leaves office. Bush is gone, I could give 2 s about bashing him. But where was the outrage while he was in office? The lack of fiscal conservatism out of DC is far from a new thing.

Your so chicken .You are totally into simple minded Bush Bashing We all are why deny it. the whole point Mc Cain lost was so many republicans voted either in protest against the neo-con party line or didn't vote in protest of eight years of lies and betrayls. There was tremendous rage by consevatives and republicans about both Bush and the Party and when Mc Cain was nominated it pushed it over the top. The RNC couldn't buy a vote. Obama didn't win the Neo_cons lost. and consevatives are still not trusting the RNC. Bush ed the people who voted for him, what the you think Obama is doing now.

Its kinda funny because you actually believe everything you type.

what's even more funny is you think your clever.

[ChumpDumper]

what the you think Obama is doing now.

Pretty much what he said he would. It's not like he pretended to be a conservative.

[baseline bum]

Funny how the conservatives never talked about Bush until right before the election when their party started talking about Bush.

[LockBeard]

Funny how the Liberals always cried about how fascist Bush was, and now TOTALLY IGNORE how authoritative and radically forceful the Obama administration is.

That's politics.

And before you say, ...they are the authority, stfu you know what I mean. Well you probably don't because you ignore anything that questions your love for the O...

[LockBeard]

Actually he did once he beat Hillary.

"That's politics."

If the Repug case, head's Consitution-raping, power-grabbing for the Exec while emasculating the Legislature with signing statements is unique.

Let us know when Obama's team comes anywhere near the lawlessness of the Repugs, as opposed to Obama doing stuff YOU simply don't like.

The San Antonio Tea Party will completely energize and transform San Antonians, and perhaps even the entire USA.

or, maybe it's just a self-congratulating circle-jerk, signifying nothing.

They're already there dumbass, you just don't have any posts on democraticunderground pointing it out for you so you don't have a ing clue.

[Oh, Gee!!]

the video (like this thread) was a complete waste of time

Except for, you know, the multiple threads where a few of the boards liberals have already called Obama on his FISA vote, on his state secrets privilege request, and multiple other instances.

Way to self-pwn, loser!

Do you have specific examples of the laws they have broken or are you just making up?

Funny how the conservatives never talked plop about Bush until right before the election when their party started talking plop about Bush.

No, that's not true. There was plenty of conservative opposition to Bush on: Dubai Ports, delaying the Iraq surge, Medicare Part D, his budgets in general, amnesty for illegals (i.e., comprehensive reform), faith-based initiatives, the Miers nomination, Rumsfeld, and so on. I remember reading quite a lot of this sort of opposition at the conservative journals (National Review being the most important) and the think tanks. Rush opposed Bush on several points. And heaven knows I did!

That said, you're right the McCain campaign distanced themselves from Bush. I don't know if this was a smart move or not (I guess it was), but at points I wanted someone to stand up and at least express some appreciation for Bush.

(I realize this last point violates ST Politics Rule #1, which states, George W. Bush is not in any way smart, right, well-informed, or decent. Any posts violating this rule will immediately be flamed. I understand this.)

[Don Quixote]

I'm fairly sympathetic to a peaceful protest against big government and high taxes. I'm of the opinion that those things are necessary an hetical to liberty.

That said, I don't think we should call these things ""Tea Parties." There was ONE Tea Party, and it was awesome. Since something of that magnitude is not likely to happen (i.e., kicking off some sort of revolt), we're best off toning down the language, and just calling it a "low taxes" rally, or something.

And the rallies should be non-partisan. Republicans are almost as guilty of this largesse as are the Democrats. The ones still in Congress waited WAY too long to be protesting big govt (i.e. after the Messiah got elected). Perhaps they are finally feeling pressure from their cons uencies.

Okay -- consider yourself advised. I am officially letting you know The Big O has far surpassed any damage that W did to the cons ution..

You stand ready, I'm sure, to give specific examples of this. But I'm guessing you don't really see the need to drop that kind of information on a board like this one.

You mean to say that you... an edumacated man -- well versed in the failures of W and the cons ution - you are not aware of the violations and proposed violations to the cons ution ? You are not aware of who Obama wants to appoint as cheif legal counsel for the US to serve in international issues --- including representation to the UN ( or his views that the USA should defer to the world court and any conflict between this country and the world court should be resolved by eliminating the law of the country in favor of the world ?)

In short, you can't provide the information he asked. Thanks!
