Why don't they just go and atend some tea parties, read the postings here on FR, and listen to Rush, et al? They'd quickly learn what we're all about.

“Tea Party experts”...these morons treat us like they’re Jane Goodall and we’re the apes. We’re not fellow citizens to them, we’re some sort of anthropological experiment.

The Left is nothing if it’s not potty-mouthed. How can these elitists command any respect when they lace their language with vulgarity?

Maybe it impresses people who don’t have real jobs or who don’t care about children, but it doesn’t impress me.

It makes me think that they need to have their mouths washed out with Fells Naphtha.

Why?

It's simple. Three things happened:

(1) ~ in the last 2 elections the Democrats managed to bump off a good number of our Republican "problem children" who'd been engaging in too many "reach arounds"

(2) ~ Compound that with normal retirement levels

(3) ~ PLUS beating the cr*p out of many of the remaining "problem children" in primaries this year,

~ and there you have it ~ a Republican party with few "problem children" who are the type get out there and alienate Republican voters with promises of "Democrat Lite" or more "reach arounds".

We also got rid of all the known gay Republican office holders or individuals in party management ~ and that seems to have been reflective of a problem the public has, to wit ~ they look past the fact that 1/3 to 1/2 the Democrat activists are gay, but if a gay person shows up in Republican politics they recoil in terror. So, sorry gay people, the public says we can't win elections with you around in our party so if you have a complaint, take it up with them ~ not us!

They don't do as you suggest because they don't think you get to the truth that way. They believe all communication is deceptive, and the REAL truth can only be determined by an academic, using whatever theory he or she believes as a framework. The actions of the group or person in question are then analyzed within that framework, and the REAL answers emerge.

Example: Forget what the Tea Partiers SAY they're about. I am a Marxist academic, and I see they are angry white property owners threatened by the rise of a black socialist in a capitalistic society. Thus, the Tea partiers are obviously a racist cabal rising up to stop progress and return us to a slave state.

(I'm sure you think I'm joking, but I ain't!)

“One of the most famous things Saul Alinsky did was—when O’Hare Airport wasn’t hiring African-Americans—he held the ‘shit-in,’ “ said Perlstein. “They waited until the big planes were getting in then monopolized the toilets. I can’t see Barack Obama doing that.”

Obama has been taking a dump on America since he “became” a “citizen”. Next Tuesday is payback day to all these A$$ Holes, and I’m backed up enough for years of flushing.

"I wonder if we're likely to see a Timothy McVeigh situation," says Nicholas Robert, an attendee originally from Australia, who basically wonders if any Tea Partiers can be arrested. "It seems to be that we're being very polite. I wonder if there are any legal mechanisms—one that comes to mind are the provisions used to crush the Wobblies."

Ah, the classic reaction of Leftists when their power is threatened; kill the opposition.

“You’re not allowed to just say no to everything the president wants,”


an attendee originally from Australia, who basically wonders if any Tea Partiers can be arrested.

“The thing that makes America different, and this is a very dialectical, paradoxical concept, is that we have a lot of democracy,” he says. “The idea that everyone has an opinion of about what they’re hearing is both the glory and the tragedy of American democracy.”
______________________________________________________________

Less democracy, aka: citizen participation

No dissent allowed.

Use of police coercion.

Of course, it’s not fascist when the left does it.

They have a total blindness to individual liberty. They rant about using laws to create handouts and institutions that they seem to think cater to personal self-interest all the while being incapable of understanding anyone who would turn down dependency in favor of self-reliance.

No wonder they are losing. They do not understand basic human drives and when confronted by them, they deny that they can exist.

So, can we assume that the progressives are driven only by self-interest, have a fear of democracy and can be controlled by threats of police coercion? Or do they see themselves above all that while assuming that the experimental subjects will respond positively to such actions?

Total cognitive dissonance is truly a mental disorder.

“If you look across the board here, true skeptics of the Tea Party, 49 percent agreed with the proposition that blacks ought to work their way up without any special favors,” says Parker. “But if you look at the true believers, that goes to 92 percent. This is another indicator of racism, right: Over the past few years, blacks have gotten less than they deserve. Forty-five percent of true skeptics disagree with this; almost 80 percent of true believers disagree with this.”

What an incredibly jaded outlook on life. The notion that people should work for what they get is an alien concept to these dopes.

I guess they’ve never been to a public housing project...

The hardcore left is afraid, and feeling outmaneuvered--a new experience given the fecklessness of the Right historically since Reagan. Their refuge is to intellectualize their denial, and treat the movement like a clinical phenomenon. They don't want to understand. They want to hate, and possibly kill. That's what the left is all about.

Their biggest problem is do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do hypocracy. With one cheek they work to free those who they believe are wrongfully imprisoned, with the other (as stated at the end of this article) they look for a was to imprison those who disagree with them. I can give thousands of examples of this type of behavior. Maybe the real problem is that we are not as dumb as they thought, or better still, maybe they are not as smart as they thought.

On Friday morning we file in for the conference. Just outside are giant tubs of coffee and tea, and abstracts for papers that are in progress or completed.

Prospects for an American Neofascism. Initially the project would consist of a review of recent research on American right wing groups (including the Tea Party movement, the Minutemen, and the Christian right)

The Left wants to nationalize industry, shut down the political speech of our opponents, regulate all aspects of business and private life, and rule into perpetuity. Because you're a bunch a fascists.

Ironic paper is ironic.

Almost a year later, when Limbaugh was rushed to the hospital with chest pains, Washington Post reporter David Weigel had a wish of his own. “I hope he fails,” Weigel cracked to fellow liberal reporters on the “Journolist” email list sev.

Just another bunch of out-to-lunch radical leftists who are disappointed that Obama didn’t create American soviets right off the bat and sing The Internationale at his inauguration while he waved Mao’s little red book. A more out of touch, anti-American mob of losers you probably couldn’t find anywhere else.
