Another reason I love the Tea Party.........

He was referring to Godwin's Law which states that the first party to resort to Nazi allusions or comparisons in a debate loses the debate.

 

Yeah, but about Godwin's Law, try though I might I still can't find it actually codified anywhere in U.S. jurisprudence and so I have reluctantly concluded that it is a general cultural guideline regarding posting behavior rather than a hard and fast rule. Of course it is usually correct regarding the nature of Internet-based 'debate'; but still . . . .

 

Correctamundo! Like Murphy's Law and Jude Law. Many of my Israeli friends get quite upset with the American tendency to trivialize the Holocaust by always and quickly comparing (fill in blank) with the Nazis. Really pisses them off.

 

No kidding.

I like to use their tactics against them.

When it's their party doing it, they support everything they claim to despise.

They are just like the Nazi enablers that didn't know what the hell was

going on, they just supported it.

 

Image over substance.

That's the right wing for you!

 

Ah . . . but then they are still pining for the days when they were embraced by U.S. leftwingers who would go to bat for the delicate nature of their sensitivities, but since most leftwingers now seem eager to stand in line to spit on Jewish adherents they are probably out of luck in that regard.

Anyway I will continue to think of Godwin's Law as more of a suggestion than a law and therefore will cheerfully violate it at will; that is (scratching head) should I encounter a posting situation in which it seems applicable. Not that it ever has, but then again . . . you never know.

 

Funny, but I think you're actually serious!

The Ron Paul tea party was never much more than a fringe group of isolationists and gold bugs.

The tea party that emerged in 2009 was a product of K Street lobbying firms and political consultants. It was not a grass roots movement. It was a marketing campaign designed to reenergize the right wing of the GOP after teh disgraceful exist of their hero George W Bush.

It was organized, financed, and run from K Street and promoted on Sixth Ave (Fox New's adress)

It was created for one purpose, and one purpose alone, to put Republicans in the House in 2010.

And it worked. After that the GOP lost interest and the money dried up.

But the mob did not disband. They believe the half baked concoction of slogans, code words, and sixth grade civics notions that the campaign promoted.

So the candidates the mob elected found independence from the GOP and proceeded to wreck it.

The almost forced the US to default on its debt, doing billions in short term damage to the world economic, and then it prevented the GOP from making a deal, forcing a round of draconian spending cuts under "sequestration", and further damaging many local economies across the nation. Then it shut the government down.

The GOP has worked hard to strangle the monster they created, and have largely succedded in this cycle.

The OP, someone who obviously prefers teh sizzle to the steak, isn' t even aware that the tea party activist he promoted on this thread, is out.

She tried to run for Congress on Ted Cruz's coattails, and got clobbered in her primary. Which doesn't say much about the future of the tea party, and not much about Ted Cruz's future either.

We both know that's more descriptive of the left.

Liberal Tripe to the 10th power.

 

man, you must be a good carpenter because you've hit every damned nail right on the head...............

 

really sounds more like liberalist rote-speak

 

Too much makeup. I'd still... you know... but just sayin.

 

A bit of history for you.

http://www.infoplease.com/us/government/tea-party-history.html

Now this only was possible because millions in the nation were already "Tea Party" people they just did not have the organization yet. In fact, you can go throughout history and always see a certain segment of the conservative party that were Tea Party people, those who are putting fiscal responsibility as their top priority.

The Tea Party is not going anywhere because it is really nothing more than a thought, an idea, a view, and no matter how hard the liberals try, they can't force everyone to think as they do.

 

the TP that formed under Bush was legit and about fiscal responsibility. But once Obama took office it became a party of and for bigots.

 

Oh jeez...just put a gun in a woman's hands and make sure her hair is groomed and that is considered "hot"?

I don't know where you people reside, but your perspective of hot sets a low bar. In NYC, there are at least ten women more attractive than this one standing at every bus stop.

 

Guess you don't understand the use of a hypothetical question. don't bother reaching.

 

Oh look yet another example of your prowess as master b... debater.

 

How very unchristian of you. why not use such a generalization to throw all those innocent children on the human scrap pile. who cares about the disabled, the elderly, the working poor (look up some statistics on how many people receive government aid that actually do work).

You take lots of pennies from other taxpayers. Those pennies come in all kinds of forms, which either thru ignorance or deliberate obfuscation, those with your attitude never bring up.

typical specious conservative argument. Its not democrats that don't give a rat's ass, its the right that doesn't as you are demonstrating in this post.

I find it hilarious that conservatives whinge about the poor being democratic slaves who will forever vote for democrats while calling those poor people all kinds of names, demanding that "the baby be thrown out with the bath water", and don't stop for a moment to consider that their very own ideology, attitudes, comments and actions might have something to do with the majority of the underclasses voting democrat.

But its never a conservatives fault is it? Its always those damn liberals. classic cop-out.

As opposed to how compassionate conservatives like you are?

 

When will tea partiers apply their vaunted common sense on the social and economic effects of the massive social engineering required for them to achieve their stated objectives?

(here's a good godwin for ya.)

its kinda like the Nazis who loved their ideology but ignored the consequences of it, right up to the bitter end, all the while blaming the evil allies for not letting them keep their sandbox.

 

So your answer is to simply not address our spiraling, out of control, financial problems?

You seem to think that the Tea Party people want to radically change everything overnight and that is not true, they simply want to reverse our course.

 

Taxcutter says:
There was no Tea Party during the Bush years. The Tea Party coalesced after Santelli's Rant in February 2009.

How did "Less taxation, less regulation, and less government in general" become bigotry (outside of liberal opium dreams)?

 

Really?

Which political party picked its Vice Presidential candidate based in her looks?

 

Last things first.

Out of one side of your mouth you claim that the tea party was the most effective political movement in history. Then out of the other, you admit that it is going nowhere.

You can't have it both ways.

I listed the accomplishments of the tea party.

And, as far as my remarks about the tea party being an astroturf campaign organized by K Street lobbying firms, political consultants, and ultra conservative billionaires, that isn't hard to document at all.

 

What, no twisting of the known vocabulary?

I can tell you're still Affected by being busted on your use of Affected.

In your own words below you describe yourself to a tee.

Affected as a synonym for - artificial, pretentious, contrived, put on, feigned, spurious and phony to mention just a few.

If your aim is to impress with your vocabulary, you need arrange your words where they make sense in context.

Debating the likes of you is a breeze, the facts are all on my side.

Later Mr. Synonym

 

Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

 

I am starting to notice a pattern here.

You like to use uncommon words that describe you best,

vaunted being the latest example.

We can't start to reverse all the mistakes of liberal social

engineering until the ignorant become enlightened.

Your last paragraph describes obama to a tee.
