Anger is good
 

when it is for liberal causes. Anger is bad when it is for conservative causes. The government controlled media tries to tell us that our anger is racist or homophobic to down play or trivialize our rebellion. Conservatives have every right to protest. Protesting has been something traditional for liberals over the years as the majority of Americans just go about their business. The media would be there with their cameras to show on the 6 o'clock news.(think Vietnam)
Now that average citizens across America are protesting, the media attempts to hide it by not covering it and twisting information to trivialize or condemn the protesters as bad or immoral people.
We the people cannot be beaten down by the progressive media's propaganda. It is our right to protest what they are attempting to do to our country.
Remember, you are going to be bombarded with the mantra:
Taxes are good and necessary.( I have read it here on this forum)
Protesting is bad.

It seems like yesterday when the liberals said that protesting was patriotic. Now they say it is bad. Wake up people!!!!

Yes people did say Bush was a Nazi and many people on this site call Obama a socialist. Insults from the left and right. Neither side was or is correct.

But spitting on people, hurling the N word or F word at Congressmen is just plain wrong whoever does it right or left. The threat of gun violence is uncalled for and even the Tea Party has condemed the practice.

I was very upset at many things that Bush and Company did in the 8 years they were in power...but not once did I reach for my gun. Oh wait a minute I don't own a gun.

upholding and protecting the United States Constitution eliminates the need for anger.

Yoda

Apparently not!

Your are correct and they will pay in November.

just as the media is now "targeting" Palin for her use
 

of a cross hair to "target" the democratic seats to upset in November. The terminology of "targeting" has been used for who knows how long without commentary. As is the use of a cross hair on a subject to infer "targeting".
None of which ever intended the use of violence in anyway what so ever....until now. The distortion of the intent by using these terms and graphics only confirms the lengths the hypocritical opposition will take.
And of course that the persona involved, Palin, is their constant "target".
Hence trying to get the public at large off the real subject....a tactic that has worn out it's use and or contributed value on thinking Americans.

Finally the silent majority is beginning to stir and some are getting nervous about it and continue to discredit actions "aimed" at standing and being counted.....

I find it utterly amusing in this era of the words are mightier than the deeds that some media and individuals have the nerve to criticize others.
How consistently hypocritical!!!!!!!!!!!!

btk

Targeting can be indicated without using a gun sight symbol! The use of this symbol implies the use of a gun which, by its nature, is violent. In light of the nasty crowds using the N word and spitting on elected officals.....gas line being cut. One simply cannot look the other way.

And geez I thought Bush was the constant target of the liberals not Palin.

That video was played over and over again and no "n" word or spitting was seen or heard.

This is just the liberals trying to divert the attention from where it belongs

The fact of the matter is that they just passed an illegal bill that is against everything our constitution represents.
Angry is good. Angry crowds are part of our heritage going back to the early days of our founding.
Don't you people get tired of the same old tactics?

That is just BS....I just watched the video and you can clearly see what happens. Was the gas line not cut either?

Violence and threats against Tea Partiers
 

It is horrible the violence from the left (aka Democrats) against peaceful tea partiers!!!
http://www.foundingbloggers.com/word...party-protest/


Anger is good and healthy but the Democrats take it too far, just like they did when Bush was president.

I could have predicted that you would come up with some obscure link to show that the Democrats also do it. But the post clearly says this guy threatened violence...they did not spit on Breitbart. Did anyone from the left spit on Bush? Did any member of the Democratic party cry out "You Lie" during the State of the Union Speech" Those answers would be a know.

You quote horrible violence.....show me because this link clearly states no violence took place.

Did you look at the video of the spitting incidence or did you just let Fox tell you what happened?

WOW....an angry arguement to decide who started the being angry...such a waste of time

PS: All Donna did was post a blog that decried the media coverage which even you cannot dispute is a one way street !

This is a joke, right? Spitting is horrible violence. LOL

I do think Donna did a little more than post an anger blog. Her link is bogus...Her generalizations are bugus...government controlled media is bogus....denying the N video is bogus...You don't like what you read or hear...so continue to assume the info is false,far-fetched and extreme.

I did not respond to Donna's post....I responded to COLOGAL's post !!!

As far as media bias is concerned, there cannot be a brain around that, after this past election campaign, will not admit to the bias that exists in the media.....that is a given !

I'll tell you something that is not bogus. I went to my first tea party demonstration last year on April 15th. What I seen there is a bunch of ordinary people who were concerned where the USA was heading. They were concerned about the deficit, socialized medicine, unemployment. losing their homes etc. Some polls say that 50-70% of the people were against the government takeover of health care. Congress is at the lowest ratings of all time. Pelosi and Reid have a favorable rating of around 8.
This congress is not listening to the people who they are supposed to represent. You betcha there is anger out there. Maybe even as angry as the Bush haters of the previous 8 years.
But we all know what the government media's strategy. Attack the credibility of the protesters. Always, always ridicule the opposition. Call them racists, call them bigots, discredit , discredit.

It is not going to work. The people will not be silenced by the media. Congress apparently didn't listen to Massachusetts when they took over the Senate seat that was Kennedy's for decades. Nobody in their right mind would predict that Scott Brown would win the senate election.
This anger will not go away before November. I guarantee it will not.
WE will see what is BOGUS November 2010.

No Donna you are the one who said the left was using horrible violence not I.

And I asked you several questions....

You always bring things back to what the left did to Bush....

So did any lefty spit on Bush or any GOP person?

Did any Democrat yell "You LIE" at the Bush during any of the 8 States of the Union addresses he gave?

Lest you forget....here is where YOU used the words horrible violence and provided a link. The link is even entitled reid supports threaten violence

Where is the horrible violence from the left?

Bucco....if I said the grass was green you would tell me it was red.

All the crying wolf and fake indignation won't mean anything once the sissies are voted out.

Perhaps you may want to watch this video of ALL the Democrats heckling and booing the President during the State of the Union address in 2005, but you will say that was justified of course.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/vid...the_union.html

There is so much more that you seem to handily forget in your PARTY first mentality.

Wake up....we just passed bill that likely will bankrupt this country very soon !

Probably because your posts are truely PARTY oriented. I certainly am not a fan of President Obama and this congress and will not shy away from saying it, but I have many times criticized Bush....I dont spend my time looking for threads that give me a chance to spout the party line.

Forget the Democratic party (I know, I know, you once voted for a Republican..you said that a number of times) and discuss the issues without the reference to party.

I have crticized this President manytimes and this congress, but very few times mention their party, nor try to make one party look like the good guys and the other like the bad guys...they both do all the same things, but you only post to defend the Democrats or get after the Republicans.

So, as long as you do that, Yeah...I probably will disagree with you !

My thoughts on the Tea Partiers....they are almost all white,74% of them are republicans...not a single African-American Repub in the house or senate since 2003. We have a black Pres. a female speaker,a Latino on the Supreme court and a powerful gay committee chair. I don't think it's health care,taxes or any of the other stuff. There are signals everywhere of an immutable change in the very identity of America not just governance. I think the tea party people are afraid that they will lose their piece of the pie to these "different" Americans. The status quo is good for them. Any change is bad for their position. I think they fear losing what they have and this fear is real. So they look for a scapegoat to blame EVERYTHING on and Obama is perfect because he is trying to change the landscape,ignoring the status quo. For that he is a socialist,communist,fascist,anti-Christ and every other name you can think of.For all that Bush and the repubs ignored for 8 years Obama is trying to solve. Do I agree with all of it..no. But there can be no denying that he has an agenda. Some of us agree with it others do not.

There is the typical race baiting stuff the democrats have been applying for years. You should be ashamed of yourself.
You seem to forget President Bush had the first Black Secretary Of State Rice that the democrats called aunt Jemima. The democrats down-played her achievements because she wasn't a democrat. The hypocrisy is astounding. Who put Justice Thomas on the Supreme Court? Another Black that the democrats belittle because he is not a Democrat.
The Republicans also have a black chairman. The only thing the Tea Party are afraid they are going to lose is our country. We are afraid of the democrats tearing up the Constitution in favor of Socialism and wealth distribution. (communism) We are also afraid of Obama disrespecting our allies and praising dictators. WE are sick and tired of Obama apologizing for the greatest nation in history like we did something wrong when we are the most generous country ever.
We are afraid of these sweeping socialistic bills that will take over 20% of the economy disguised as a "health care bill"
I'm also afraid that it will take generations to heal this country of the damage that this congress and president have caused.

I fear for the children that will have to pay for this boongdoggle of a bill, and a countru whose constitution has been shredded.

I discount this post immediately as you bring up race....this was the mantra on this board this past election campaign. If you oppose Obama you are a racist and frankly I am sick of it and do not understand those who constantly bring it up.

There are racists in every group and always have been, but do not tell me that because I oppose big government of this President that race even entered into it....this is insulting !!!

And while you worship at Obamas feet saying all the right things which are mainly that he is cleaning up Bush's mess (while actually he continues most of his policies) look around at what is happening the name of change and transparency ......

Tea Partiers
 

This kinda sums up my feelings.
http://www.city-journal.org/2010/eon0328mm.html

Yes Donna...it is part of the process for one party to stand up and cheer and the other to sit on their hands. It is also standard practice to boo and whistle...but I asked you if any Dem made a direct statement like Joe Wilson did when he said "You Lie". But we both no the answer to that.

You claim only the Dems do these things and I won't admit it...but you need to look at yourself and your party as well.

And when Joe Wilson told the truth millions of patriots cheered!!!

Thank you.....you made my point. And they are no patriots.

White women the new angry white men?
 

waynet, while you like the rest of us are entitled to your
 

opinion/beliefs......but on some things like this current post....you must get awfully lonely way out there in left filed!!!!!!!!!

How about a novel concept? Some of us do not care what a persons' religion or color or party or gender is and make our judgments based on whether we agree with them or not....whether any of us are right or wrong, it is our opinion.

The current administration and it's supporters are NOTORIOUS for categorizing and or type casting ANYBODY that does not agree with or blindly accept what is put forth.

The state of partisan politics in this country is the worst it has ever been and is a disease that is ruining the America some of us are used to having.

btk

Actually I am left of you but definitely in center_left_field..... so I offer this link:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/36075836...me_and_courts/

More Patriot's?..anybody want to guess if they were card carrying NRA members? This is what happens when the rhetoric gets to heated.

Me thinks she makes Waynet's point here. :a20:

What has your despicable link have to do with this thread that I started? This thread is about honest hard working Americans who are witnessing our country being taken over by socialist policies that are probably unconstitutional.
You people on the left will do anything to discredit anybody who is not on board with your far-left policies.

Your post is highly inflammable and should be edited from this thread.

I agree
 

Donna you are correct. This is pure Liberal hate speech.

I am sure that law abiding NRA members are not happy with her linking them to cop killers, either. Disgusting.

With all due respect to everyone, we should focus on the issues, holding on to what is left of our US Constitution and restoring this country financially, morally and emotionally. We shouldn't fall into the argument of which side did what or who is worse.

It's easy to resort to name calling and spitting rhetoric. Both sides will use it to their dirty advantage. The Democrats are going to blame the recent "threats of violence" against Congressional Dems on Republicans and use the "threats" as a fundraising tool!!

"A senior adviser to the president said his party was not out of bounds in issuing fundraising appeals linked to recent threats of violence against congressional Democrats," according to CNN Political Ticker.


http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com...ed-to-threats/


"Obama senior adviser David Axelrod also suggested congressional Republicans bore some responsibility for the overheated rhetoric and incidents of vandalism directed at Democrats."

I recall the threats against AIG employees and people were asking for names of family members and AIG employees' children were even being threatened. One threat was of strangling AIG employees with piano wire. When AIG CEO Edward Liddy said he was afraid to release the names of employee who had returned all or part of their bonuses, Barney Frank basically said tough, let the police handle it if something happens but release the names or be subpoenaed.

I watched Black Panthers standing at the front door of a polling place holding a black-jack club hitting it into his hand during the last Presidential election!
I remember an Iraqi journalist throwing shoes at our President.
You know what Bush said? Did he say let's use this as a fundraiser? No.

"So what if the guy threw his shoe at me?" Bush told a reporter in response to a question about the incident.

"Let me talk about the guy throwing his shoe. It's one way to gain attention. It's like going to a political rally and having people yell at you. It's like driving down the street and having people not gesturing with all five fingers. ...

"These journalists here were very apologetic. They ... said this doesn't represent the Iraqi people, but that's what happens in free societies where people try to draw attention to themselves."

Republican Minority Whip Eric Cantor had a bullet shot through his Richmond, Va., office. A man was just arrested today, who authorities believe was the shooter, for posting a Youtube video threatening Cantor. Cantor's response when the bullet was shot through his campaign office, "Let me be clear -- I do not condone violence," Cantor said at the start of his press event. "There are no leaders in this building, no rank and file members in this building, that condone violence, period."

Then he contrasted his own actions with those of Democrats who have been harassed:

"I've received threats since I assumed elected office, not only because of my position but also because I'm Jewish. I've never blamed anyone in this body for that, period. Any suggestion that a leader in this body would incite threats or acts against other members is akin to saying that I would endanger myself, my wife or my children. Just recently I have been directly threatened. A bullet was shot through the window of my campaign office in Richmond this week, and I've received threatening e-mails. But I will not release them, because I believe such actions will only encourage more to be sent," he said.


http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/...democrats.html

It happens on both sides. What both sides are doing should be what we are looking at.

So let me get this straight...a story from the national news about a bunch of right wing, gun carrying Christians who wanted to start a movement to overthrow the current government (from the story not my words) is highly inflammatory... But you respond with an inflammatory comment about the socialist government and its probable unconstitutional policies and thats ok.

Sure....

You can call me anything but that doesn't mean it is true...I am no more a lefty than you are. I may be left of you but no where near a lefty. You can't change reality.....

Amazing to behold that what was booed.....that SS is going down the tube is what happened..go figure !

The bullet he referred to, as if it was directed to him and his office, turned out to be one randomly fired in the air which ricocheted of another building. This was widely reported several days ago. The gas lines cut at was thought to be a Democratic Congressman's house, after a Republican blogger incorrectly posted the address on-line, were confirmed to have been cut deliberately.

But I agree with your last statement both sides need to tone down things before some whack job does something stupid.
