Tom was that you at 5:14 in the video. He used your line that you have never worked for a poor person!! Glen Beck is very educational BWHAHAHAHAHA!

Racists bastards.

Racists bastards.
Probably that too but it was hard to tell, they are certainly ignorant that's for sure.

Probably that too

Was that bait tasty? You have nothing to base that on, NK.

You back it up.

Thanks for giving me cred . But that is a truism that is ageless and I can't take credit for.

Start making sense, NK. Turn your sarcasm detector on - if you have one.

OK, you want ignorant protesters? Thousands showed up in Springfield, IL to march and chant, "Raise my taxes! Raise my taxes! Raise my taxes!"

I say give 'em what they want. Raise THEIR taxes.

Almost forgot the link (http://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/clout_st/2010/04/thousands-of-protesters-at-illinois-capitol-to-press-for-tax-increase.html).

Speech why are they Ignorant? They don't want budget cuts and they know taxes need to be increased so budget cuts don't happen so logically they want their taxes raised. I would call them ignorant if they didn't want budget cuts but didn't want to increase taxes.

I went to the link, looked at the pictures and saw no ignorant people as compared to the tea party people in the video. The Illinois people have a goal: to protect their school system. To you that's ignorant, I'm pretty certain you don't value education.

You're pretty certain about a lot of things concerning me, dead wrong but "pretty certain" you're right. Would that make you ignorant?

I must be since I don't understand what you said there. :)

Spit, they're ignorant of they think the state of Illinois can simply raise taxes enough to solve their near bankrupt state. They're ignorant if they think giving more money to the government is going to mean anything other than more government growth. I think it's a pretty ignorant thing to ask the government to raise my taxes, especially in this economy.

I must be since I don't understand what you said there. :)

All you need to know is "dead wrong."

Ok, thanks.

Always glad to help.

Good luck with your tea party people.

Hmm. I guess I missed something on the article that went with it.

SPRINGFIELD --- Thousands of protesters bused down by labor unions and social service advocates rallied at the Capitol today in an attempt to pressure state lawmakers into raising the income tax to avoid more budget cuts.

Somehow I didn't read teachers into the beginning lines of the story. Looks like all they are fighting about is a raise.

They can always volunteer to cough up more duckets if that is their desire. Truth be told however ,they want someone else's taxes increased and not their own.

So you don't believe you should pay for your wars. It's OK with you if you strap your grandchildren with that debt.

For those new readers, George W. Bush made war on TWO countries, borrowed the money to pay for it, and gave the richest amongst us a huge tax cut. THAT'S what much of our debt comes from.

excon

The debt quadupled in a year . Keep carrying water for the President. You can stop the concern about what my daughter will need to pay for because of the Bush Presidency . The wars will be paid for ;the entitlement obligations that she will face is what will bring the house of cards down. Last month another boulder was added atop it without any concern about how it will be paid for .So your crying over Bush spending is becoming a little stale .If you were at the same time complaining about the massive increases in debt since Obama then perhaps your argument would have some merit.

Tom I don't know what you are worried about, galloping inflation will cure it all for you and today's debt will be just a drop in the bucket of future debt

Yeah I hear the KRudd ;now that global warming is a confirmed hoax ,is no longer be the leader who bought the Aussies cap and tax. Instead he is going to borrow from the success of Obama and "reform " Australia's health care system .

What's the deal ? I thought your system was already running like a well oiled machine.

Yeh our system works okay for the doctors and the patients, but some of the states have been transferring funding away from public hospitals, NSW is in dire strates with medical suppliers on the verge of refusing to supply because the local area boards haven't paid their bills and state treasury's have been interferring with infrastructure contracts. We have a new hospital built with operating theatres too small, etc in my town. It was an election issue three years ago and he has just realised he needs to get it off the agenda before the next election. What Krudd is doing is changing the funding equation so there is federal responsibility for 60% of funding of public hospitals so the states can't divert the funding.

Yes it is strange Krudd has forgotten global warming, etc when we just couldn't do without emissions trading, but our version of the cash for claukers has come home to roost with massive waste, installer deaths and contractor rip offs aplenty and complete cancellation of the scheme. We now have warehouses full of insulation. It was the flag ship of the emissions abatement brigade in the short term

That's close the way I heard it . But when all the election hype is removed it amounts to more centralization of an inefficient system and a massive election year giveaway to the states.. right ? In fact ;the only part of the health care system in Aussie that works well is that part of it where most people opt for private coverage.

No, Tom, I think that is a biased remark. The inefficiencies we have are inherent in your system too and that is the multi-tier systems which have confused local and federal priorities. What it comes down to is local politicians interferring in allocation of funding for political purposes. Not only that but the GST is a growth tax and the Federal government doesn't like the states having free reign with that and then asking for specific help with hospitals

Our payment/insurance/general practice system works OK but people have long stayed away from private coverage because in an emergency they are going to be treated in a state public hospital anyway. We are all invincible you see and don't need doctors. The Liberal Federal government tried to boost participation rates but most people think 1.5% levy is about right for health care costs so it doesn't matter to them who they pay and the less you earn the less you pay, an incentive for the government system. The Federal government hasn't allowed private coverage for ordinary medical expences just procedures in hospitals. By opting for the public option the public have restricted the growth of the private hospital system and the states have taken advantage of this by diverting funding which was their obligation in the system. All this is a legacy of social engineering by a succession of Labor governments and now we have another Federal Labor government try to fix a problem created by the state Labor governments.

As a rule, I don't pass along these "add your name" lists that appear in emails, BUT this one is important. It has been circulating for months and has been sent to over 20 million people. We don't want to lose any names on the list so just hit forward and send it on..

While the press has finally begun to notice the tea parties they are again behind the curve . Because the most fascinating things happening at the tea parties are not the protests ,but the Tea Party Summits that are shaping this into a genuine political movement .
Post Party Summits|Organizing for a Free America (http://summit.americanmajority.org/)


The Post-Party Summits represent the beginning of the new American Revolution, one in which we organize for liberty and take back our communities from the political class. Each event is designed to maximize your time and provide you with real-world strategies and tactics that you can apply immediately. We have brought together some of the country’s best in messaging, political organizing, leadership training, new media, etc. to offer each of you the opportunity to move beyond protest to implementing freedom. Now is your time, what will you do with it?

Also of note but flying beneath the dinosaur media radar is the Contract From America that the tea party movement published.

Contract FROM America (http://www.thecontract.org/)


The Contract from America serves as a clarion call for those who recognize the importance of free market principles, limited government, and individual liberty. It is the natural extension of a movement that began in the local communities and quickly spread across America in response to unprecedented government expansion, reckless spending, and a blatant disregard by our leaders of the nation’s founding principles.

During the past several months, hundreds of thousands of Americans have debated thousands of ideas to solve our nation’s most pressing problems. 454,331 votes were cast. It has been an open process and has provided a genuine opportunity to give voice to a broad cross section of concerned Americans.



The Contract from America
We, the undersigned, call upon those seeking to represent us in public office to sign the Contract from America and by doing so commit to support each of its agenda items, work to bring each agenda item to a vote during the first year, and pledge to advocate on behalf of individual liberty, limited government, and economic freedom.

Individual Liberty
Our moral, political, and economic liberties are inherent, not granted by our government. It is essential to the practice of these liberties that we be free from restriction over our peaceful political expression and free from excessive control over our economic choices.

Limited Government
The purpose of our government is to exercise only those limited powers that have been relinquished to it by the people, chief among these being the protection of our liberties by administering justice and ensuring our safety from threats arising inside or outside our country’s sovereign borders. When our government ventures beyond these functions and attempts to increase its power over the marketplace and the economic decisions of individuals, our liberties are diminished and the probability of corruption, internal strife, economic depression, and poverty increases.

Economic Freedom
The most powerful, proven instrument of material and social progress is the free market. The market economy, driven by the accumulated expressions of individual economic choices, is the only economic system that preserves and enhances individual liberty. Any other economic system, regardless of its intended pragmatic benefits, undermines our fundamental rights as free people.

1. Protect the Constitution
Require each bill to identify the specific provision of the Constitution that gives Congress the power to do what the bill does. (82.03%)

2. Reject Cap & Trade
Stop costly new regulations that would increase unemployment, raise consumer prices, and weaken the nation’s global competitiveness with virtually no impact on global temperatures. (72.20%)

3. Demand a Balanced Budget
Begin the Constitutional amendment process to require a balanced budget with a two-thirds majority needed for any tax hike. (69.69%)

4. Enact Fundamental Tax Reform
Adopt a simple and fair single-rate tax system by scrapping the internal revenue code and replacing it with one that is no longer than 4,543 words—the length of the original Constitution. (64.90%)

5. Restore Fiscal Responsibility & Constitutionally Limited Government in Washington
Create a Blue Ribbon taskforce that engages in a complete audit of federal agencies and programs, assessing their Constitutionality, and identifying duplication, waste, ineffectiveness, and agencies and programs better left for the states or local authorities, or ripe for wholesale reform or elimination due to our efforts to restore limited government consistent with the US Constitution’s meaning. (63.37%)

6. End Runaway Government Spending
Impose a statutory cap limiting the annual growth in total federal spending to the sum of the inflation rate plus the percentage of population growth. (56.57%)

7. Defund, Repeal, & Replace Government-run Health Care
Defund, repeal and replace the recently passed government-run health care with a system that actually makes health care and insurance more affordable by enabling a competitive, open, and transparent free-market health care and health insurance system that isn’t restricted by state boundaries. (56.39%)

8. Pass an ‘All-of-the-Above” Energy Policy
Authorize the exploration of proven energy reserves to reduce our dependence on foreign energy sources from unstable countries and reduce regulatory barriers to all other forms of energy creation, lowering prices and creating competition and jobs. (55.51%)

9. Stop the Pork
Place a moratorium on all earmarks until the budget is balanced, and then require a 2/3 majority to pass any earmark. (55.47%)

10. Stop the Tax Hikes
Permanently repeal all tax hikes, including those to the income, capital gains, and death taxes, currently scheduled to begin in 2011. (53.38%)


So while the video cherry picks responses from what must've been hours of taping ;the people at the rallies are only part of the story.

I contend that the tea party members shown in the video know absolutely NOTHING of what you just posted.

Hello again, tom:

This swill brought to you by someone who doesn't think it's necessary to spy on enemies planning to attack the country... who thinks we should tie one hand behind our back and play by Marquis of Queensbury rules while the enemy kicks us in the nuts.. because that makes us better people .

Jonah Goldberg captured the mood of the Tea Party this way, which is “We won’t be fooled again (http://article.nationalreview.com/431990/a-delayed-bush-backlash/jonah-goldberg).” I think he's right.

Hello again, tom:

Police in riot gear were called out to the Tea Party protest (http://biggovernment.com/jhoft/2010/04/28/team-obama-calls-out-swat-team-on-tea-party-patriots/) during the president's visit to Quincy, Il.

No, I never said Obama called the riot squad and don't believe he did. The video was not my creation, however the police in riot gear parading through the geriatrics were real.

NK my first reaction was the absurdity of the thing. That's why I answered in the absurd.
The Red Hats represent geriatric anarchy by their own definition.

Listen to their radical rhetoric:

Some may ask, "What do you do?" The answer is... We do exactly

The Democrats call anyone who disagrees with their lord and savior.. the Messiah, Obama a rascist.

Strangely enough... when THEY were bashing Bush for stuff they never were able to prove he did (unlike this situation) they somehow weren't rascists?


Exactly where does any one racial group have the right to demand Everyone has to agree with everything they do. Or Be called a rascist.

I really want to hear their answer to this one... because a Balck man has no more right to be free from being criticized than any white man does, or Asian, or Indian.. etc.

Yet somehow Rev Wright, Jesse Jackson, Akl Sharpton aren't rascists in a democrats eyes.

Haven't you gotten the memo... Obama is the Messiah... and its blasphemy to not agree with him. THey are going to put a stoning punishment in their next BS bill they push. They plan on declaring martial law, disolving the Constitution, and appointing Obama Emporer for life next year.

So no examples then. Just rantings and ravings with no facts. Ex is right.

You do have a TV don't you... Watch CBS or CNN. ANY coverage they present of the Tea Party is so fraudulent its Fiction, not news.
THose are the Lefts preffered "NEWS" sources.

Or are you another typical lefty that ignores all the facts to be a good socialist... err Democrat, Just like under old Soviet Russia.

Ok all you geniuses that think the Tea Partiers are racists and terrorists, what's your excuse for the SEIU terrorizing people at home and shutting down banks?

The SEIU, whose former president has our president in his back pocket, is traveling the country in buses terrorizing people at home. In this episode (http://bigjournalism.com/acary/2010/05/21/d-c-metro-police-escorted-seiu-protesters-to-greg-baers-home/) at the home of Bank of America executive Greg Baer, 14 busloads of union thugs terrorized Baer's teenage son who was home alone (http://biggovernment.com/amarcus/2010/05/21/npa-seiu-terrorizes-child-breaks-laws-what-did-president-obama-know-and-when-did-he-know-it/).

Don't trust Breitbart's account? Try CNN's Nina Easton, who is Baer's neighbor, who just got her own toddler to sleep (http://money.cnn.com/2010/05/19/news/companies/SEIU_Bank_of_America_protest.fortune/index.htm) when the 500 screaming thugs showed up. Easton has it right:


Targeting homes and families seems to put SEIU in the ranks of (now jailed) radical animal-rights activists and the Kansas anti-gay fundamentalists harassing the grieving parents of a dead 20-year-old soldier at his funeral (the Supreme Court has agreed to weigh in on the latter). But that's not a conversation that SEIU officials want to have.

Is it a conversation you want to have? Or are you just going to continue demonizing grandmas and other concerned citizens peacefully engaging in the political process while excusing this kind of thuggish, inexcusable and what should be illegal behavior.

That is insane. And they crossed too many lines in doing so. Taking to the mans front steps is an outrage. I wonder if the castle doctorine would apply to this situation because they clearly were inciting fear into the life of a child. SEIU is no better then the KKK but has this governments blessings.

SEIU is no better then the KKK but has this governments blessings.

Not just blessings, active assistance. They were escorted by 2 of DC Metro's cruisers.

Not just blessings, active assistance. They were escorted by 2 of DC Metro's cruisers.

The part that bothers me about that is they didn't inform the other jurisdiction they were coming in there. With 500 protesters I can see reason for escort. But not to continue into another jurisdiction nor notify them of intent. That's just wrong.

I wonder if the castle doctorine would apply to this situation...

I welcome them to come to Texas and try this...
