KevinG Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 David duke, though I would say the tea party is worse for the simple reason that they have tremendous influence while duke had none. Absolutely, while Duke is a morally reprehensible individual he was in congress for what like 4 years?  And his record is of little distinction.  Though I wish Hixtler would have explained his picture more, giving a reason, hey maybe he was being funny, I am not sure.    The TEA party has downgraded our credit rating, and shutdown the government and is poised to do more damage.  They push more moderate Republicans to the right in fear that they will lose in the primaries.  Their rhetoric is not really based in reality and it is unfortunate that they brought us to this point.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bleedorange Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 So even though that original story referred to it as "tea party," and its own website refers to itself as the Tea Party, you will continue to use it as an acronym? Interesting choice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting choice. yep it is the way I roll, deal with it BTW from the article:   The demonstrations are part of a larger grassroots movement against government spending called Taxed Enough Already, or TEA -- giving name to the Tax Day Tea Parties -- and come more than 235 years after the original Boston Tea Party revolt against taxes.  really why do you all care? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Atticus Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 before I went to rehab I used to drive around after work listening to talk radio, building resentments related to all kinds of political and current events issues.  It can really take a toll.  I think discussing politics and even being invested in issues is great, but if it's making you angry on a daily basis, it may be time for a break or a readjustment.  there's quite a bit of anger and resentment in these threads--not just about the issues but about the way others think, feel and post about the issues.what's your next action? intervention? phone call? sending FTD?  i don't quite get the full whiff of sincerity from that post.
