I understand it will be held by candlelight as the TeaParty is against anything progressive. They still do not understand that progressive means going forward and the opposite is going backward. What kind of movement do you want to belong to - one that moves forward with the times or one that goes backward?

It is obvious that the teaparty wants to go backwards - to the days of Joe McCarthy.

The Tea Partiers are getting together to burn their social security and medicare cards. They wouldn't want to be part of those socialists programs. They may be able to celebrate the overturning of the Affordable Care Act on Monday. High fives all around for causing seniors to pay more for their meds, and kicking young people off their parent's health insurance, and allowing insurance companies to cancel your insurance when you get sick, or not cover you if you have a pre-existing condition. Good times all around.

I am not a "tea partier" nor will I attend your meeting but I would suggest that you send all the replies you have received to the administrator..you do not need to take that kind of petty and mean abuse. I recall the Democrat club announcing a few years ago and as I recall got no verbal abuse. In addition, back in 2008 an Obama rally was announced on here and all the conversation was about where it was being held but no mean spirited remarks at all.

You are a new poster and I assure you that you Will get these kind of remarks from a few posters who deal with things this way. It is not the trademark of this forum nor most of the posters.

If you said anything remotely close to what they have remarked they would be sending them off as a reported post.

It is mocking language and not even remotely meant to be discussion.

Guest 06-23-2012 02:04 PM

It's always the left who cry about hate who are the biggest practitioners. There's is no tolerance in the left who scream for tolerance.

I always have said if you want to know what the left is doing, listen for what they accuse others of doing.

The ignorance of the left abounds.

Guest 06-23-2012 02:05 PM

Ludicrous and that's at best. :(

You should book Gov Rick Scott for one of your meetings and get him to talk about medicare fraud. Are we allowed to bring loaded firearms to this meeting?

I think it is a good thing to let the haters post to their hearts content.

It is kind of like sunlight, It illuminates the hate and vitriol that they just can't hide or hold back. It is a major reason for our inability to make any progress between parties. Just pure hate.

Guest 06-23-2012 05:15 PM

I will definitely attend this meeting - are we allowed to ask questions?

How you equate MEANNESS and LACK OF RESPECT for another person with any semblance of political discussion is well beyond me !!!

No, I think they put duct tape on everyone's mouth at the door after they give you an enhanced pat down search.

I guess beyond me too. I don't know what you mean?

None of that sounded like a political discussion, it was more like

"MEANNESS and LACK OF RESPECT "

I was not equating it to anything but the source.

Is it a Tea party movie? Or is the movie unrelated to tea party issues?

Some of the Tea Party groups have valid points about various things. Not sure what kind of ideas the new Villages Tea Party espouses??

Some of the things that I have heard from various Tea Party candidates ring true:

I do believe that they should allow "In God We Trust" in more places, just as long as this is not strictly a Judeo-Christian God. Americans should respect other religions as well as their own.

Something does need to be done about simplifying the Tax Code.

There also seems to be way too much bureaucracy for bureaucracy's sake.

Sure, keep walking forward. I think you're following someone who's leading you off a cliff, but you just keep walking forward.

Check history real close. Lincoln was a Whig Party leader and Illinois state legislator. We all know how many governors from that glorous state are being fed and housed by the tax payer. Might not be such a good thing to be quoting him.

Figmo, my friend, Lincoln had been a Whig Party leader but was a Republican (a moderate Republican, I might add) when he got the Presidential nomination. After the Civil War, Lincoln used his oratorical skill in trying to get the nation to think as one country again and not to punish the South harshly.

Guest 06-25-2012 09:12 AM

How can we learn anything from the tea party?
The tea bags that got elected in 2010 have done
nothing! Nothing to cut spending. Nothing to create
jobs. But they have received a sweet healthcare
plan and have a great pension system paid for
by taxpayers, while the revile civil servants that
pay for their own pensions.

Buggyone: Make up mymind are liberals for green or not. The Tea Party is using candles hopping to draw some liberals like you to their meetings so ou can see for yorself that they are wonderful people who love their country and as such want to be involved.

I am unable to attend but plan on attending in the future.

Guest 06-25-2012 09:26 AM

Reminds me of school yard recess K-6.

Once a Whig, alway a Whig, being elected Governor of Illionis, chances of going to jail 92% or there abouts. :loco::rolleyes: Might want to think twice about voting for anyone from there again.:police:

It would be fun to attend so I could see for myself what it is about. There has been so much hate and misinformation directed toward this group. I would like to decide about them myself without the hate infused posts and stories written about them.
I don't live there YET so I think I will find one here in Texas to find out why these people are SO BAD.

How did the tea party meeting go last week? Did everyone overindulge in Long Island Iced Tea to drown their sorrows over the huge conservative losses in the past 2 weeks? What kind words were expressed toward Chief Justice Roberts?

Guest 07-07-2012 06:18 PM

the original tea party also
 
just to remind everyone that the original area Tri-County Tea Party is still meeting, also on monday nights, unfortunately, at the American Legion Hall on Rolling Acres Rd....six thirty....speaker monday night is Karen Schoen, who founded AgEnders to work against Agenda 21....both groups have great speakers and members who love our country! nothing bad about it!

Guest 07-07-2012 06:29 PM

yes agenda 21 is very interesting and it is difficult to choose however the one at LaHacienda is also having a great speaker MOnday night. I've heard the Agenda 21 several times so think I'll head on over to the villages tea party club. let me know how you found the agenda 21 speech if you go.

Guest 07-07-2012 08:20 PM

Geeezzz reviewing these posts it appears the lefties have already worn themselves out and the meeting doesn't,begin until Monday:D

A pretty good link to read: Inside Agenda 21: The International Tyranny of Bike Lanes - Politics - The Atlantic Wire

Makes me wonder what these conspiracy theorists are up to?

The insanity of the left is never-ending.:smiley:

While researching the Tea Party, I came accross an interesting read. Seems to have a lot of fact to it.

WOW...a 2 year old article that has been debunked so solidly and so effectively in the last TWO years !!

Why does everyone who supports Obama want to make everything into race ?

I appoligize if I offended you. I have only known 2 people that claimed the Tea Party as their Party. They were both over the top racists, but I agree that not all tea party members fall into that catagory.

I have not decided yet who I will vote for as it depends on the VP pick by Romney. I am leaning Romney, but VP is important to me.

Your post is one of the reasons why I totally oppose labels. All Republicans are this....all Democrats are this....Tea Party folks are this.

I cannot think of many groups in the world that can be labeled under one label whatsoever. But it is easier....today we have stopped listening. Once we have these labels on everyones head, we no longer have to listen....big part of our problems.

The "perfect" ideology does not exist on either side under any label.

Guest 07-08-2012 10:30 AM

far too many people talk about minority (not race this time) issues or isolated reports or isolated incidents and represent them as general conditions. Especially if it makes their case or point or counterpoint for them.

They readily accept the notion that when looking at the world through a straw, they categorize what they see as what is going on in the world....as in looking at an elephant through a straw they would contend the world is indeed gray (the media uses these type optics on issues all the time...and many everything has to be partisans live by this method.
