I hope that somehow the tea party can be reestablished with its original theme of small government and fiscal responsibility. Originally Posted by LazLaz,

Heh. Mine? You know better than that.I should have said, 'The Tea Party'
Politicians, in general, like to tell other how to run their lives. The Teapukes have no corner on that market. The fact that some people have a problem with that shouldn't be any surprise. Originally Posted by Chica Chaser

I used to be a card carrying member of the ACLU. Honestly. The ACLU used to be nonpartisan. Now, with respect to many issues, it has become a surrogate of the Democrat party. Their work on "voter suppression" (i.e. enabling voter fraud) is a good example.

Cases
Casias v. Walmart (2011 case): The ACLU is suing Wal-Mart on behalf of a cancer patient who was fired for using medical marijuana in compliance with state law.
The reality is that the ACLU would stand up for your basic rights before the God damn Tea Party would. They are just another special interest group. Ron Paul is half ass right, the problem with him and the Tea Nuts is that they worship at the alter of State Rights....like State Governments are not spme huge form of government. Rick Perry in the State of Texas has Crony Slush Fund...boy that inspires me to give the state of Texas control over my life. I could go on and on Originally Posted by WTF
.You seem to think that Arsenic bought locally is better for you than Arsenic bought in Washington DC.
I'm no fan of Rick Perry but you're dead wrong about states rights. The closer you can move government to the people the better it functions. As much as possible should be handled at the local and state levels, which are much more efficient than federal government. We get value from state and local government. We get fucked by the federal government. Originally Posted by Tiny
Politicans are exactly the same, be it State or Federal. The more power you put in the hand of the individual the more freedom one has. You are falling for that BS State Rights crap. It should be Individual rights that one fights for, not State Rights. Originally Posted by WTFGood point. I think I agree.
Actually, Im commenting on the general, "moderator's" neutrality that you're exerting in this forum CC. I really find it inappropriate that you come in here and spout your Tea Party bullshit and then hang The Rules over our heads.Inpugnity? What the hell is that? This post is hilarious. Did you read what CC wrote? That Tea Party politicians, like politicians in general, like to tell other people how to run their lives? Do you even disagree with what he wrote?
.I don't really give a fuck what you do. We didn't see shit out f you until you became a mod in this forum. Now you're the cock of the walk.
I urge you to make a choice, bro.
I find your leanings to be slightly to the left of Atilla the Hun.
If its OKAY then you get no pass in these debates. OKAY?
SPECIFICALLY, I WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY POLITICIANS YOU'VE KNOWN THAT QUALIFIES YOU TO MAKE A COMMENT LIKE YOU DID WITHOUT INPUGNITY. Originally Posted by Yssup Rider

And how am I a fence sitter? Which fence am I sitting on? Is it because I refuse to choose between the Democrats and Republicans? I'm firmly against both.

No fences here, dudes. You're delusional again, because you have trouble coming up with rational responses to my posts. Originally Posted by CuteOldGuy
