Maybe I'm misunderstanding you. All I'm speaking of doing is working with other elected officials whose vote is needed on certain pieces of legislation and on that every freakin' single vote is crucial! What do they bring to the table? They bring a vote! You going to exclude them because you don't agree with them at all? That's what got the RATS in the fix they're in.

Right, work with them up until the night of the long knives, uhuh. They can not be trusted. Sorry, but that's the nature of moral degenerates who hide in the closet with a spinning moral compass.

Politics is a dirty business and the majority of the American people who sent these folks up there to DO that job aren't capable of surviving in the cesspool that is DC. The purpose of party politics (besides doing the people's business) is to win for the party agenda. The B-I-G picture. If these idiots are on the Hill and they have a vote, WE have to include them for as long as we need their votes. That doesn't mean we can't marginalize them or even let them know that they don't call the shots, but we do need to work with what we've got to work with and that would include the RATs who are feeling the heat and want to stay in their jobs.

Work with everybody as much as possible to shove our agenda along until we control the game. THEN we can get out the broom and clean the House! To do otherwise is not only foolish, it is wasting our shot. We absolutely cannot afford to waste the shot!

Very wonderful animation! It looks like he may have used some time lapse and many ultrasounds to capture the movements of the later part. Very life affirming.
Thanks for posting that.
I'm going to run over to my hateful lesbian/wiccan/atheist/rhino board and post it right away!
LOL they love refuting the obvious with emotions, it makes them feel superior for some reason, either that or they get so mad in their denial of truth I get banned ...again.

[Maybe I'm misunderstanding you.]
I see where we're not connecting now.
 
I'm talking about the (non-elected) Liberal Pirates now calling themselves the "Tea Party" who wrote the letter and essentially demanded their social agenda not be interfered with - while they are also trying to unexist the fact that a substantial portion of the real individuals who participated in real Tea Party events were Socially as well as Fiscally conservative.
 
You're talking about the elected representatives those pirates are attempting to command.
[If these idiots are on the Hill and they have a vote, WE have to include them for as long as we need their votes.]
That's common sense. I agree.
 
What remains to be seen is which of these newly elected representatives, if any, constitutes "them" i.e. Social Liberals - maybe none at all. 
 
Hopefully none at all, and the Liberal Pirates are merely barking desperately from the outside, in which case I hope the freshmen IGNORE those outside special interest voices - and vote per the Truth in their conscience and input from their individual district constituents.  Not per any "party" directive - RINO, Tea, or otherwise.
Now, with that resolved - the more I think about it the angrier it makes me that the jackwagons who wrote this letter think they have ANY business at all instructing our elected representatives under the FALSE PRETENCE that they are speaking for all of us who participated in "The Tea Party".
 
They should butt out and let us individual constituents communicate with the representatives we've elected.  That is the American thing to do.  They served their purpose, and now they should let the system work.
 
I voted for my representative - one person one vote, just like always - not for a Tea Party district committee who will now presume to speak for me.  I can still talk to him all by myself without their coaching.  Who the hell do they think they are?

Keep fighting the good fight!!

My 10 y/o daughter is absolutely fascinated by the video—awestruck that she was created in God’s image in the same way. :*)

I have hope for the future of this country when I see her reaction to the preciousness of LIFE. :*)

There are personal issues and government issues...when you try to turn your personal issues into government issues you give permission for others to do that ...this is how the p.c. crowd has won so much social control allreaddy...

And now they have basically taken over our society.

The only answers are...

constitution,
freedom,
smaller gov.
less taxes.

Would you rather have freedom...or control over how other people live?

The founding fathers were christian...christianity used to need no promotion...people were attracted to it...they saw happy people living a good life...who were free to choose that path....

I dont know...but I cannot accept...the restrictive socialist concepts...or the criminality that is islam.

I think its time to concentrate on freedom again...more inportant than safety,or well anything else.

Thanks for outing yourselves in the list, leftist Tea Party impostors.

Sexual deviancy, abortion, euthanasia, assisted suicide, healthcare rationing, infanticide, unnatural marriage, anti-religious policies, anti-tradition policies are all unethical, immoral and atheistic socialist agendas. And, yes, they are social and cultural issues.

Any group that embraces this death culture, as mentioned above, is anti-American, atheistic, secularist, socialist, and does not belong to any authentic Tea Party ideal.

They can’t beat us. All they can do is divide us and have us beat ourselves.

I admit I haven't read all the posts yet, but I have a feeling that after finishing, what I've read will show that this is exactly what they are trying.

And very well might succeed.

lose too many fiscal conservatives because of social issues

Does that mean I should tolerate a pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage republican who wants me to believe he's a conservative just because he believes in balancing his checkbook?

Does that mean I shouldn't ask the question?

1. It is IMPOSSIBLE for a pro-gay, pro-abortionist to be conservative.

2. I don't want them in my camp, because they will always stab you in the back.

Killing children is a government issue. Unfortunately, our government has it backwards.

Marriage, too, has always been a government issue. The state as well as the church has always been concerned in it.

If gays want to do their thing privately, that’s their business. But they cannot force gay marriage on our country. And they cannot force the military to accept gay activities in the barracks—any more than they can force the military to accept open adultery among its officers.

And they cannot force gay brainwashing on our children in the public schools.

Yet they are trying to do all these things. Not acceptable. Not a matter of private choice, either.

Are you by chance a former USMC Gunnery Sergeant? Because the only other time I have heard this term is on the Geico commercial where R. Lee Ermy is playing a psychologist as an example of how not to act... it was hilarious but I have no idea what a jackwagon actually IS and I'm a former infantry captain!

The point is, it is not an either/or proposition. You can be socially conservative and fiscally conservative, without any extra effort.

Exactly!

Congress debates thousands of heated issues every year. We don't have to avoid "divisive" issues like deregulation of veterinary medication, in order to get our nation's fiscal house in order. We can walk AND chew gum at the same time.

Fascinating. You figure by now people would learn to just sit down and STFU.
