Should I mention that I was one of the "militant" "tea party" right wing activists at the Austin tea party? Oh well, I've been called a wingnut before.
So what exactly is a wingnut or another term I've seen, neocon? Are they supposed to be offensive terms to conservatives?
I'm guessing since it was Austin the only tea used was organically grown genmaichai green tea and none of that lipton stuff.
Wingnut is a term made up by posters on the Democratic Underground or Daily Kos (or one of them) as a shortened version of Right Wing Nut. I think it started out as a term to describe Freepers and the like, but evolved to mean anyone from Blue Dogs to the Right. Neocon is short for neoconservative which is the movement of hawkish moderates that culminated in the Presidency of George W. Bush.
They told us to bring tea, but since at the "real" tea party they threw the tea in the Harbor, I brought coffee.
Was it a protest against the imposition of Marxist-Leninism via the means of the expiration of a tax cut for the top marginal income earners? Because that is the way it has been pitched on the interwebs, as something that is on the very front lines of this struggle. http://www.google.com/search?q=tea+...-us&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1
Thanks. I've seen them thrown around a lot and never really new if I was supposed to be offended when I was referred to as one.
It was a protest against all manner of perceived tyranny, from bailouts to taxes to some food safety bill that people claim will crush organic farmers.
Adam Smith maybe.....we leave the socialist / marxist / communist talk to you and the wackos on the left. Liberalism is really a mental disorder!
I wonder what they think about the money the US spent on things like pursuing a useless war...heaven forbid that American taxpayer money is being spent on America.
Was anyone wearing a bucket on their head? KRAMER: (handing out anti-mail pamphlets) Here you go. Mail is evil. Pass it on. Hey, mail blows. Fax it to a friend. WOMAN: Why does this dummy have a bucket on its head? KRAMER: Because we're blind to their tyranny. WOMAN: Then shouldn't you be wearing the bucket? KRAMER: Yeah. Move along, Betty.
I can tell you that I don't like taxpayer spent on the world police, war on drugs, Patriot Act, foreign and domestic welfare etc etc too. It's all the same crap.
Remember planes flying into buildings? How about truck bombs going off in parking garages? Attacks on our naval ships? Embassies? Wake up numb nuts it was a worthy war. And if the media would have reported it unbiased as they should it would have allowed the military to actually kick ass and take names instead of p***y footing around to avoid bad press.
Why are you guys usurping the image of the Boston Tea Party when you have representation? Do you want to overthrow the government now that the Democrats are in control? There's nothing wrong with protesting, but using the specific image of the Boston Tea Party is sacrilege. Obama is not a King, and he's not half a world away.
So we should have leveled Iraq completely even though it didn't have anything to do with the attacks on our country?
The Iraq people seemed to be pretty happy about it... But what does that have to do with a symbolic protest against a government over stretching its reach? Do you even understand why they are doing this? Why it is relevant?
