Thr tea parties are just a way to gang up and gripe about what’s not right, at the end of the day nothing has changed, WHEN YOUR REALLY READY, GRAB YOUR GUN’S (BEFORE THE TAKE THEM)GATHER UP, MARCH ON WASHINGTON, AND KICK EVERY POLITICIAN’S REAREND RIGHT OUT OF THE SEAT THEY ARE SITTING IN AND START FRESH.

When people fear the goverment it’s called tyranny, whan the goverment fears the people it’s liberty.

The question is are you ready to lay down your life for you cause, if so screw the tea parties, let’s have a arms rally.

By the way "Greg" - I hope that isn't your real email address you used for all the world to see....those comments might just get you a well deserved visit from the FBI...now that'd really freak you out. ( "Arms Rally" indeed)

3. welcome to my world

10. that's ok - down here, we socialist /fascist / Commie Obama lovers

can return fire - massive retaliatory/suppression fire. But it all seriousness - that Greg person is walking a this line between voiving an opinion and inciting violence against the government.

4. "Redneckistan"

That's a good one, but I myself try to refrain from denigrating "rednecks", with too broad a brush. My preferred term is "RightToWorkistan". I note that one of the commenters quotes Joseph Proudhon ("To be GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered...."). Does he realize that Proudhon was an ANARCHIST, and a French one at that?

8. rednecks

It's ok - I'm a white, male, gun-owning (if the right-wingers ever have their little fantasy uprising,the local liberals can return fire) , pick-up driver. So it's like chris rock using the n-word. But my racially-mixed marriage/kids and my politics set me apart. "RightToWorkistan" is very good, though.

12. Here's a map of RightToWorkistan:

Notice how closely it models the "Red State" map, at least BEFORE last November's election. That significant elements of it had been detached ("liberated") in that election, is why I caution against pejorative references to "rednecks". They are our Fellow Americans, and here is still much educational work to be done

5. There were a few sensible comments.

I liked this one

This has got to be the silliest mess a have heard of in some time. The consrvatives spend eight years running this country into the ground. Now they play tea party (what are they, six year old girls?) and pretend they are going to save us from the man we elected to clean up their mess? No thanks, we have had eneough of your help in the form of the Cheney/Bush fiasco.

I was somewhat surprised and very disappointed at the lack of “minority” attendance at the Tea Party festivities at the Expo Center 7/4/09. This event was not about Dem/Rep or color/cauc, but it was about regaining control of an Out of Control Government.

I was shocked to look at the crowd of over 1000 people and didn’t see any Black Americans in attendance. Are they happy to be slaves to the Obama Regime? Since when did they decide to accept the shackles of their government? I thought if anyone wanted to fight economic slavery it would have been the Black community that would have stood up and shouted NO MORE!

7. Yeh, he was "shocked" my ass ! .......

That's like me saying;

"I was shocked not too see any skinheads at the rally in the South Bronx yesterday"


Asshole !
