“When they were out in the Boston Harbor, they weren’t arguing about who was gay or who was having an abortion,”

Hey asswipe- thats because the British did not tax the colonists in order to finance the killing of unborn babies. Does ANYONE think that if the colonies were being taxed to kill babies that the colonists would not have rebelled on that issue as well?

[counterpunch]

So what do you suggest Republicans do?

Pick their battles.

Slash government spending. Shrink the size of government by simply defunding it.
The rest will sort itself out. Social liberalism cannot survive without the teet of Big Government.

But why open up a second, unnecessary front on the battlefield?
It is far easier to defend all of it on the fiscal front than defend it on the social front, too.
We concentrate all of our ammo on one target — spending — and don't let up.

So does that mean their version of the Declaration of Independence includes the right to liberty and the perfuit of buggery, but not life?

I think you misunderstood this. They are not arguing for rights, they are against wasting time on crap that doesn't need committee time.

You are not going to change Roe v. Wade by getting into a snit every time you think you've been insulted.

And, BTW, nobody calls the shots for the tea party movement so you can all ignore whatever you want to and move on to something else.

Issa should be asking why Holder is a racist, not why he kills babies and kisses drag queens.

So what do you suggest Republicans do?

I'd be happy if they'd focus on any ONE issue and get 'er done. In this case, focus on shrinking govt.

The benefits of fiscally limited (per the Constitution) government is a government is that it can no longer use tax money for things like paying welfare queens for abortions, or to build filthy muzzie foot washing stations for the filthy muzzies who are filthy, and muzzie.

Here it comes, with at least one representative right on this thread. Leftists with a label "Republican" or "conseravtive" but promoting abortion, homosexual agenda crap and so on are nothing but enemies of the Constitution. Couple points - fiscal conservatism but socially liberal always turns into fiscal liberalism; it's a fiction/fantasy that never has worked and never will. Why? because socially liberal policies first of all cost big money to force down peoples' throats, monitor, and then to clean up the human debris that results. Second, socially moderate/liberal Republics never win. Third, since so many people don't want to swallow the agenda, force is needed to shove it on unwilling people, so it's nothing by tyranny anyway.

Please note that the GOProud is not conseravtive at all, it's merely another incarnation of the Log Cabin "Repugs" whose goal is to transmogrify the Republican Party into another tentacle of the homosexual "rights" movement. 90% of the GOProud's legislative agenda is clearcut straight across homo-nazi agenda issues - from same sex marriage to perverts in the military.

And you know what group filed suit to force the military to accept open perverts? Why, the Log Cabin Repugs. Neither the GOProud or the Logs are conservative in any way, shape or form. They are trojan horses trying to force the GOP to the left. They just happen to like guns a little bit and woudln't mind paying less taxes.

I’ve attended over 100 tea parties in darn near every state of the union. God, Guns, Family, Country, Life and Liberty were in full view at every single one of them. “One nation under GOD” is ALWAYS the loudest line recited in the Pledge of Allegiance. Whenever anyone on stage mentions God, Christianity, Life, Marriage or any other social issue the crowd always cheers!!

Any so-called tea party leaders who turn their backs on God, Family, Life and Liberty are turning their backs on the Declaration of Independence and our God-given Liberty and are leading us straight to socialist HELL!! They cannot be truasted to defend our freedom!!

No thanks!!

Kick them OUT!!

Nanny State Big Gov has prevented the states from enacting the laws their citizens want.

Thanks to Big Huge Nanny State Fedgov, no states can pass laws against sodomy, porn, or abortion; or on a host of other issues that should be up to the states.

Thank you, Huge Nanny State Big Brother Gov!

State laws against sodomy, porn, obscenity and so on were consdidered not only perfectly Constiutitonal but indeed necessary for society, until the commie founded ACLU and leftist Supreme Court justices forced their Commie Nanny State Huge FedGov on us.

You don’t know what the hell you are spouting about.

I think Jefferson was more concerned with American Independence and the Bill of Rights. He, too, picked the more important battles to wage legislatively.

Do you think Jefferson was wrong?

[Jim Robinson]

FU, troll!! If you refuse to defend our God-given Liberty, then you are not part of the solution; you are part of the problem!!

You are a freaking coward!! Get the hell OUT!!

[sausageseller]

This is a strawman. They should defund these things, by all means. Just as they should defund all areas of government waste. But they should do it on those terms, not because they're taking a Fundamentalist stance. There are many ways to package the same agenda.

Sure has worked out well for your loseaterians.

[B Knotts]

But why open up a second, unnecessary front on the battlefield?

We're not the ones opening up the front; they are.

And you expect us to tie our hands behind our backs, while they take away our freedoms of speech and thought?

[Jim Robinson]

You are a freaking idiot!! Troll!!

[scbison]

Correct, we shouldn’t talk about social issues which means we don’t do anything about gay marriage.. Leave everything as it is now.. Only between man and women. Two can play that game.

[counterpunch]

Thank you for contributing some common sense to a thread that is sorely lacking it.

[Jim Robinson]

If you do not see the difference between big government meddling and us defending our God-given Life and Liberty, then what the hell good are you to our cause? Get the hell off of FR, MORON!!!

Just so you know...I am sure Kristinn understands the Tea Party, and he doesn't do "snits".

[Jim Robinson]

Get off the line, MORON!!

They can screw each other in the privacy of the bedroom but they shouldn’t expect the state to give them any new benefits.

I totally agree. And I don't want to even hear the words "gay," "lesbian," or "transexual."

[Jim Robinson]

FU, troll!!
