Republicans were very poorly represented by Bush I think we can all agree. I think Obama needs a little more time before he is wrote off yet, Bush was given a second term in which to prove himself and he never really did.

Exactly! By the end of the day on January 20th Neo-Cons were already blaming him for the economy. "He's had all day to fix the economy, but what has he done? Gone to parties all day. Hmph!"
Getting change that is small writting your congressmen might work for, but rarely, fundamental change it does not work for. We are talking about fundamental change, not anything small.
I never said voicing your opinion was useless. Did I by accident?

First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one

Just let BBA have his word.

:3
Its fun to take extremist part of a group, say anyone who doesn't believe in you is apart of said group, and then demonize them all!

Fundamental change is only brought on by progressive thinking or violence. Which side would you prefer to be on?
Do you even remember what you posted a page ago?That doesn't work, sorry. Try it sometime and see for yourself.Originally Posted by The Dopefish
If ANYONE, not just those people who participated in those "tea parties", is upset about how the government is run or wants to have a particular say in what is happening, there is a wide range of things they can do including, but not limited to: voting, writing their representatives in Congress, funding a political-action committee which has more push than just one person, etc. It's not like these avenues have mysteriously disappeared. A sincere, heartfelt, well-thought out and well-written letter to your personal Senator(s)/Representative(s) may honestly do the most good. But they still can share their opinions with their duly-elected officials.

Lets try how Hitler got into power not when he was in power.
Like how he was elected partly based on his promises of restoring Germany to its international glory by seeking aggressive military solutions to the dirty foreigners that were rotting the country from within and without?
Wait...
Well, I hope you younger folks enjoy poverty and debt. When it all comes crashing down, it doesn't really matter which party is (was) spending the money.
But hey, might as well embrace the massive expansion of government and debt. It's better than being a tea-bagger, right?
I've had a pretty good life and I'll probably be on my way out when this all really hits hard. ENJOY!

BTW I didn't compare any party or anyone here to fascist Germany back then. TWD stated that we have other problems right now and that these race issues just distract from the real ones. I just think it is dangerous when people state that it doesn't matter if certain people showing publicly that they think that humans of color or a different race are inferior or not as capable as white folks. This behavior should not be tolerated. Reminds me a bit on the crisis in the late 20's...economy going down, people lose jobs, cry for a "strong hand" and blaming the victims...
...anyways...
WTF ...I am posting in a political thread...

Why does it seem that you are lumping anyone who isn't a treehugging liberal into the neo-con group? Many of us are conservatively minded, but do not approve of heavy government intervention or spending.
What country did we invade to steal their resources? Iraq? Yeah, we stole their oil, especially considering the fact that the PEOPLE OF IRAQ own the oil there.
And I'll use Britney Spears as my example here to prove you wrong. She sold how many millions of CDs and is a household name, yet is her music really that good? Seriously, is her music award winning stuff, at all? Hell effing no. Her music sucks for the most part and she has no real talent other than looking good way back when. I see the socialistic and communistic way of life as Britney Spears, it is okay in moderation but isn't all that it is cracked up to be.
I'll let you in a little something that I eluded to earlier. Conservative thinking is that of less government growth, intervention in our lives and less government spending. This is related to citizens in the form of less taxes and more personal freedoms and responsibility. On the other hand, your idea is that the rest of the world (those who are not conservative) wants their government to live their frigging lives for them it seems at times. "Oh please Mr President, won't you give me free dental and medical?" You know, somebody somewhere has to pay for that crap.Your views on how this country should be run and how we should conduct ourselves in front of the world are on the same level of mental sickness that a child molester has. You are willing to hurt everyone else for your own personal gain, and you can't seem to see anything wrong with that.
You and some of the more vocals persons on this forum can spout off all day long about the wealthy and how they are the degradation of our society, but without the taxes collected from the wealthy AND the revenues from big businesses, a great many of the government provided services and benefits you love or even depend on would probably not exist or would be drastically lower in scale.
Ill-gotten gains are one thing, but many wealthy folks have worked very hard putting forth honest sweat and effort to get where they are, be it making 250K or 25 million per year. To say that these folks (the honest ones) are a blight on society would be tantamount to me saying that all poor people are lazy and worthless, for which we all know is horribly misguided thinking.
Haha! Instant point invalidation, conservatives are Nazis. Good one BBA. Does the Democratic Party have a chip implanted into your head to feed you drivel? Because you make the most baseless, kool-aid soaked arguments known to man in every political thread.
I read what you posted, and you are still wrong. Oh, I'm sorry you are STILL wrong! I think perhaps you might want to take a political science class befor you open your mouth again.
I didn't agree with the way money was being spent then, and I don't agree with it now. Are you really so thick as to think that conservatives are responsible for Republican Party politics? Let me remind you that plenty of people from your own party of Gods voted for and supported both of the wars we were in until it was no longer politically viable to do so. I'm happy for you that you have this completely polarized view of politicians, even though they are all exactly the same.
I'd love to know what planet you are from where 52% is a landslide victory. I'd also love to know what planet you're from where McCain was the best candidate (and honestly don't start about the "neo-cons" thing, we already know).
Hahaha, yet another instant point invalidation. Nice strawmen there BBA. Do you think you're working me up into a frenzy even close to the level you are clearly operating on? You're not.Your views on how this country should be run and how we should conduct ourselves in front of the world are on the same level of mental sickness that a child molester has. You are willing to hurt everyone else for your own personal gain, and you can't seem to see anything wrong with that.
Major generalizations, baseless points and more are all you are filled with. What is possibly more comical than your little tirades is the number of people trying to agree with you.
I really don't think you know how I want this country to be run. At least, none of your posts to date indicate that you know anything more about my political views except that they "lean right".
Also, anyone in this thread talking about taxes needs to get their reading glasses defogged. Our taxes are lower now because of a stimulus bill tax benefit that WILL EXPIRE. And once it expires, what do you think is going to happen?
Not true.
What did I say was the problem again and who did I say payed attention? Do they belong to the same group? Obviously not. You can't get the federal government to give up power by going to them just like you couldn't go to state governments and ask them to give up power or for that manner go to a business and say will you pay more. It doesn't work that way. Its one thing if the issue is just something they can support and not lose anything on, but when you ask them to give up power and along with that money, healthcare, and so on they aren't going to listen. Remember we are talking about power here not just taxes or spending. The thing is you aren't going to get rid of out of control spending until you limit power.
Anyway, action comes in many ways and I don't' see how protests isn't acceptable.
