Tea Party

“"nervous yet?"

Nope. The local, regional and statewide teabaggers in Michigan are ripe for a major ass kicking.

Folks 'round these parts here don't really take too kindly to morons stealing pies off of the public window sill ...”

“Yeah, big labor got you by the balls up there. Can't be stealin them lovely gubment pies... How's Detroit looking these days anyways? Neighborhoods all cleaned up yet? Crime down? Hey, isn't Michigan next to Wisconsin? Seems like they were in the news recently.
Heh heh....

Pepsi, I can't disagree with that too much. I'm just not willing to give up and take it lying down, yo.”

“Well Strat, if the Tea Party is such a political force, how does the GOP end up with Mitt?

It's faux reform, promoted by faux news.”

“I just see the tea party as another distracting arm of the old establishment itself.

Sarge got one thing right about this, and that is that the tea party is a set of ideals. The manifestation of it in contemporary politics, however, is as you describe. Big difference, one that the MSM and the political establishment has fought hard to ignore.”

“"Yeah, big labor got you by the balls up there."

Yeah, big labor helped save this State, and a large part of the United States manufacturing base and economy. They made huge concessions during bankruptcy, and worked with management this time around instead of against it. Due in part to those concessions, "union thugs" all across my state were rewarded with bonus checks that mostly went right into the local economy and help stabilize the state. Good thing those plants that those union bassturds are working on can be retooled for our war machine; but that's besides the point.

BTW - Bet you didn't know Michigan is leading the country in economic recovery? That's due to the economic reforms/stability that our previous governor got into place, that now our DB TBer governor is trying to take credit for.

"How's Detroit looking these days anyways? Neighborhoods all cleaned up yet? Crime down?"

Our Tea Bagger governor has tried his best to bury what is left of that city. He came in and purposefully created financial situations throughout the State's stock of cities through withholding revenue sharing, raising taxes on the old and poor and shifting 1.8 billion dollars in tax breaks to businesses (that haven't come). Yep, he even screwed the car companies with his new tax system. Under his administration Detroit has become much worse. The city has a lot of assets that the State has been chomping at the bit to get to for 20 years. The region was struggling before, and he's made it a lot worse in Detroit, and other cities that have black majorities.

Hell, the EFM law is going to get repealed, sending your DB TBer pals screaming and pissing their pants.

"Hey, isn't Michigan next to Wisconsin? Seems like they were in the news recently.
Heh heh...."

Snyder is just fed by the Koch brothers, just like that moron in Wisconsin governor who is the subject of a John Doe political corruption investigation. Looks like he thinks he is above the law as well, and doesn't mind using taxpayer resources for personal gain, eh? Walker will be walking out soon enough.

If you've got the time you should come up here; I'd love to show you around ...”

“When the Texas Oil Die-Nasty, does just that, then this country will return to sanity. Texas is an OPEC Middle Eastern Country pretending to be the last 'Murikan Drug Store Cowboy'.”

“Q- Our Tea Bagger governor has tried his best to bury what is left of that city.

Good call. The average home price is hovering around $6,000, not $60,000, 6! What are you trying to bring back? Snipers shooting at firefighters? Let it go.”

“"Q" you are at least partially right. The big unions did make some concessions. After they bargained for years to destroy the auto industry and the economy, they gave back a little bit. How magnanimous of them.

On another note, I find it telling that the liberals can't express themselves with out name calling. Tells me they can't defend their positions so out come their big weapons.

Name calling and vicious threats seem to be the mode for liberals everywhere, I guess. Thankfully the threats don't seem to be as prevalent here as most other places.”

“"The average home price is hovering around $6,000, not $60,000, 6! What are you trying to bring back? Snipers shooting at firefighters?"

Huh?”

“Amazing! The best recovery In the nation under a conservative govnah and you call him a DBTP'r that hates blacks. Whoa!”

“Don't play dumb Q.

June 12, 2009: Median Home Prices In Detroit Fall To $6,000

Although I am a deflationist,I must admit surprise that the median home price in Detroit has fallen to a stunningly low $6,000.
http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-12-05/news/30476762_1_detroit-mayor-dave-bing-emergency-financial-manager-hostile-takeover”

“1-c, great question! How did mitt win? He won because of this stupid caucus system where theY dribble out votes over 3 weeks instead of just every state voting on the same day. Who knows, we might have gotten Ron Paul...”

“You're probably right about that. My point being the country will remain a mess until we decide to hold those responsible for the mess accountable. Republicans and democrats.

I disagree with Sarge's contention that the tea party is a set of ideals. If it were, and they were concerned about bloated government spending, there would be an anti-war narrative in their platform. There isn't. At the end of the day we know the tea party will vote for Mitt and the status quo.”

“no, they will vote against Obama and certain destruction”

“Certain destruction? Just what are the policy differences between Barry and Mitt?

They are both for the insane wars we have started, costing untold billions and the nations credibility.

They are both for the Patriot Act and the spying and now killing of US citizens.

They are both for government health care, actions, of course, speaking louder than words.

There is no principle of limited government under which the tea party operates. Don't kid yourself! ..it must be they just like the funny hats.”

“1-c, once you give in to that mentality, they've won. They WANT you to feel like there's no hope. Like there's nothing you can do about it, so just give up and quit trying. now I admit that Mitts not that great. He was LAST on the list of every single TPer I know. The TP IS NOT the republican party. You still don't get it. We don't care what party they are, if they don't do what they say, we fire them. Ñb”

“Romney would never run up 5 Trillion in debt. Bottom line.”

“I have given up at all. I've just stopped enabling them. Only about 40% of the country votes, if 5% of each party feels like me and the other 60% gets riled up, all bets are off. No litmus test, no central authority, a true citizen revolution. That's real change. The tea party is a phoney protest for all the reasons you won't address.”

“The Tea party is fascist, no books, no documentaries, no 'for profit' biz or religious school teaching - it's fascism, nothing more or less.

“Romney would never run up 5 Trillion in debt. Bottom line.” It would be 15 and rising.”

“1-c, you're so close but so far away. Address what? Il address anything, as long as it's real. You've said all along that it's insignificant but they keep winning elections. Just admit that the TP is relevant, Then we can discuss why.....”

“Clif, fascism is Rham Emanul telling a company they can't do business in his town because he disagrees with their religious beliefs.
All you got is namecalling. You are therefore irrelevant. It's over man. Move on, dot org”

“The war Strat, that's where we are spending money, the tea party is silent on the war. Pay attention, lol.

People being frustrated with their choices will increasingly cost incumbents their jobs, that's not a mandate for the tea party, its a coincidence.

And again, Presidents don't spend much money, centainly not trillions. Obama spent war money on Lybia, Egypt, probably some in Syria. The deficit spending you and cliff are talking about is Congress spending.”

“The war. Uhm well, it's over Brosiff. You want me to defend Bush? I'm over it dood. He's gone, I'm lookin forward. It's a waste of time. He grew government too much, IMO so I'm not gonna defend him. The war happened, unfortunately it'll probably happen again someday too. Deal with it.”

“You act like the war is over?? Maybe stop getting your news from the Blaze, lol.

Actually, Bush doing what he did in Iraq will probably be cheaper long term. If we hadn't gone in there cowboy style and got out from under UN auspices, we be there 60 years from now like in Korea..with no end in sight. At least we are gone from Iraq. President Obama has promised a "perpetual force" in Afghanistan. NATO style.


http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/item/11497-the-nato-un-army-perpetual-war-and-bankruptcy-for-us

The new normal. A global military force entirely supported by US taxpayers.”

“Hey, the Army needs poppy plants too, right?”

“The army is burning the poppies, just like the taliban does...meet the new boss.
http://www.military.com/video/operations-and-strategy/afghanistan-conflict/big-pile-of-poppy-seeds-burn-in-afghanistan/1755970326001/

Where is the tea party outrage?

They call for no cuts in the military budget, just like the republicans, another coincidence?

Maybe it would be better if you would tell me how the tea party differs from republicans.”

“"Don't play dumb Q."

Not playing dumb; just reacting to your statement that equated low housing values with snipers shooting at firemen. That statement made zero sense.

As to home values; Detroit is not insulated from the Republican-facilitated blow up of the housing market. Due to an Aryanian economic philosophy from the fine folks on Wall Street and the Fed; Detroit's housing market became over inflated and blew up like many other cities across this great nation.

While your "article" is really an opinion piece, it fails horrifically to point out all of the tremendous amount of investment that has come into the city in the past 10 + years. You can look up people by the name of Karmanos, Illitch and Gilbert is see what has come to the inner city. Heck, Detroit was really rolling in the movie biz until our TBer Govoner stepped in and Deep Six'd that puppy. Too bad, we lost about 25,000 jobs right off the bat over that (it was one of the first things he did).

It's really too bad that our TBer Governor threw 20,000 people off of the roles over the summer, too. It's kind of interesting that the majority of these folks all pretty much lived live in a certain place in Detroit, and they are the poorest of the poor zip code in the state as well.

Even in that area, they don't shoot firefighters ....

"Maybe it would be better if you would tell me how the tea party differs from republicans.”
1camper"

Here I agree with you; however, you'll be waiting a long time. Strat's hatred of Obama is so thick that he will not be able to present a viable, reasonable and lucid reasoning as to the differences in the TBer land and Republican - ville because Dick Army, the Koch Brothers and FreedomWorks have him so skull-phucked that if they don't tell him what to say, he can't speak for himself.”

““Hey, the Army needs poppy plants too, right?”[i]

To ship back to the USA in the body bags of the fallen, as from VietNam?”

“FLMAO!


A very ironic item just came across my desk.


Ahem.


Apparently, when the Boston Tea Party happened, the ship that the Brits sent to help quell the uprising was named the HMS Romney.



LOL!



Looks like history will be repeating itself yet once again ...”

“I've said it a thousand times: we are kicking the old guard, progressives(you gleefully call them moderates) out onto the streets. They are part of the problem, government growers. Changing the R party from within. A force to be reckoned with. Eventually you won't be able to deny it or call it coincidence any more, but you'll still try....

Now, which word did you not understand in that statement?”

“"I've said it a thousand times: we are kicking the old guard, progressives(you gleefully call them moderates) out onto the streets."


No, you're not. What you are doing is killing what is left of the Republican party through a thousand cuts.

If you think what you're doing to "progress", keep on going. Once you and you're derelict buddies are out on the street, you'll be #&%!$ing about starting another "party".

I'm sorry, Dick Armey will be #&%!$ing to start another party.”

“Qface, does it sadden you to see us fire the progressive R's who capitulate to the Progressive D's in the name of compromise? That's how we got into the insane mindset of thinking we can borrow 42 cents out of every dollar and think its indefinately sustainable.

Stupid is what stupid does, Lapkiss”

“"Qface, does it sadden you to see us fire the progressive R's who capitulate to the Progressive D's in the name of compromise?"

No, not one bit at all. Nope, not sadden one bit.

In fact, LOVING IT!!!!!

You TBers do more to destroy your own party than any other action could possiblily do. With every "moderate" Republican you ... ahem ..... "get rid of" and replace them with your whack job. looney tunes TBer candidates, makes it all the less work from us Dems to get bury the Republicans once and for all.


Keep up the great work, strat.

Keep ridding yourselves of the "unwanteds", all of the undesirables where ever you see them.

In the meantime, and not like I expect you to do so, you should watch this lovely little clip written by a very thoughtful person along time ago.

It's just where you, and your TBer pals, are going:

“Q- "

Not playing dumb; just reacting to your statement that equated low housing values with snipers shooting at firemen. That statement made zero sense.

I didn't equate the two, I said those two fairly incredible things happen in Detroit. Maybe you remember John Lee Hookers singing about the snipers shooting at firemen? Here ya go, the worst riots in American history.

http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/the-12th-street-riot

Devil's night? Ringing any bells? How can you live up there and not know this stuff?

Low housing values? $6,000! Where else in the country can you buy a home for six grand? Detroits a mess, I'm sure its not your governors fault cause its always been a mess.”

“..but the HMS Romney thing is priceless irony, and some of you don't believe in God.

“Unions, there's your problem. And the Guv getting rid of bloated government positions is a GOOD thing. Government is too big, period....”

“"I didn't equate the two, I said those two fairly incredible things happen in Detroit.

Then perhaps you need to word your sentences better in the future. Your statement read clearly as a equivocation.


"Devil's night? Ringing any bells? How can you live up there and not know this stuff?

Devil's night hasn't been in issue around these parts in many, many years. Since Mayor Archer started "Angel's Night" during the 90's, those actions have dramatically decreased over the years to less than what happens on a typical night in Detroit.

That's the type of information a person has when they live in the area, and do not rely on crappy sources, campy.

"Low housing values? $6,000! Where else in the country can you buy a home for six grand? Detroits a mess, I'm sure its not your governors fault cause its always been a mess.

Such bullshyt. Detroit hasn't always been a mess. Your hasty generalization is your undoing.

" From California to New York, there are houses for sale for pennies on the dollar, and in a scattering of hard-hit neighborhoods some houses are going for a few thousand dollars each

http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/photos/0,,20256816,00.html "

Detroit is very unique in many, many great ways. The housing market in Detroit is happening everywhere in the country.

You wanna pick on Detroit, that's cool with me.

Just make sure yer not talking out of yer ass when you do it, k?

FLMAO!!!”
