Comparing the Tea Party to the Ku Klux Klan

Post Reply New Topic

There are hundreds maybe thousands of separate Tea Party groups.

Ironically, on the "About Us" page, they list this as one of their 15 core principles:


Not average Hawaiians, apparently.

14. English as our core language is required.

House Republicans? Have done more damage to American competitiveness than al Qaeda ever could. “What is happening is sabotage. Terrorists couldn’t do a better job than the Republicans are doing.”

The Tea Party? Defeat them the same way segregation was beaten. “It is the same group we faced in the South with those white crackers and the dogs and the police. They didn’t care about how they looked. It was just fierce indifference to human life that caused America to say enough is enough. ‘I don’t want to see it and I am not a part of it.’ What the hell! If you have to bomb little kids and send dogs out against human beings, give me a break.”

Surely there are some good Republicans though, right? “Chris Christie, who is a big Northeasterner, and people only go for Christie because he is reasonable. He says something nice about the president helping out Jersey and now he is on the hit list by Republicans,” Rangel said. “And now my friend Peter King is on their hit list. Peter King, a Republican, is considered a goddamn communist.”

....“It has to do with whether or not in God we trust. I don’t know how much God played a role in the country, but it is everywhere ... And I used to be an altar boy so that I can say, if you are talking about Jews and Christians and probably Muslims and Mormons, [there’s] the whole idea that... we are supposed to help the aged and provide health care and give kids a break and do all of these good things. What are we Democrats fighting for? We are not fighting for salvation and going to heaven. But we are fighting for Medicaid, Medicare, health care, education, jobs, helping old folks. And I’ll be damned, besides same-sex marriage, I don’t hear the voice of the church. As a matter of fact, the pope is talking he can’t judge gays. Well, damn it to hell, ask for another message from God. Here we were born. I mean, why is there a silence on old folks and a silence on poverty and a silence on kids?”

...“We have been a powerless giant for a long time. It is just that there is no one there, and so therefore we dominate center stage,” he said. “But the dysfunction of the Congress and the inability of the president to make any changes has caused a lot of Europeans who admire and respect us to take another look.”

“Let’s face it,” he added. “The Republican presidential candidates didn’t make any damn sense. If it wasn’t for the presidency, it would be embarrassing as hell for me to get calls from people overseas and ask what the hell was going on.”

Democrats throw a fit whenever the GOP stands up for itself, they want them to be their Washington Generals to their Globetrotters. The establishment of the two parties are one and the same, there is a reason why nothing ever changes in this country. It's all a show.

So the Republicans standing up for themselves includes cutting government services people need?

People should have the right to produce in order to meet their needs. They should not have the right to be given what they need.

So those in need, who can't work, or can't find work, should just go and die? Conservatives constantly say we are a Christian nation. As I recall, a big part of the Christian ethic is loving your neighbor, and compassion for the poor.

And Americans are a giving people who wouldn't let their neighbors die. Helping people on their own accord is different than being robbed at gunpoint.

And Americans are a giving people who wouldn't let their neighbors die. Helping people on their own accord is different than being robbed at gunpoint.

Nobody is seriously being robbed at gunpoint. The government helps the needy because the American people and their representatives have chosen to have the government with it's greater reach and resources help them. The way conservatives make it sound, some alien organism or something had descended from the stars to enact social programs. No, as a matter of fact, it was us all along.
