brilliant
great stuff.
the "tea baggers" are ridiculous, but what's even worse are the politicians who should know better who are acting almost as stupid...
I don't know why liberals
I don't know why liberals resort to crude sexual terminology to describe protesters. The tea party protest was a great day in our history. It's sad you all would have probably played the tories on that day.
I thought dissent was the highest form of patriotism?
umm...
If that's the case, why did nobody agree with that two years ago? When Bush was in office, if one even mentioned that they were against the war they were "UnAmerican, Unpatriotic, Terrorists... etc".
There was Protest by Rep Ron
There was Protest by Rep Ron Paul but you didnt want to listen .
End the Fed and you put an end to the ability of Washington D.C. to Spend money
we dont have. Be it a personal war (Iraq, W) bailout of "To Big To Fail Banks" (W,Obama,Congress,Senate,Etal), Health Unreform (DC Lobbyists for Insurance Companies,Big Pharma, and Lawyers against Tort Reform.)
Without the Credit Card (The Federal Reserve) the Politicians (Red and Blue) are disarmed and are forced to make decisions based on the reality that we are a debtor Nation beholden to "To Big To Fail Banks" and Foriegn Countries.who have no interest in doing what is right. Do not fool yourselves both sides of the aisle in Washington are owned and they are not acting in the best interest of the common man.
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency,
first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks]
will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.
The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."
Thomas Jefferson
That's what they called themselves
They called themselves "teabaggers" and called their protests "teabagging"
You know what is really sad...
It is sad for the rest of us that you found this website and want to pollute the discussion with your mindless rants. In other words, this is for smart people, go find a freeper site to lurk on where you can have all your opinions validated. You only come here to get a quick thrill by throwing out some outrageous comments to get people stirred up and run and hide.
It is also sad that people like you will happily play lapdog or boot-licker as long as one of your fascists is in charge. GWB did more to erode the rights that the founding fathers fought for than any other president in history. God only knows what it will take to retrieve those rights.
Your tory accusation is absolutely ridiculous and sounds like more of the right-wing projection (look it up, it is a psychology term). You would happily accept corporate rule and an out of control military budget. If you right-wingers fear the government so much why do you so happily support giving them the most advanced weapons ever dreamed of? Don't you know the toy guns you cling to so desperately won't mean a thing when a hellfire missle from a predator drone takes out your house and the official report to the media says you had a propane leak?
The original tea party was also a shot across the bow of the corporations that ruled in the day. It was as much about the monopoly of the British East India Tea Company as about the taxes. Yet you are also happy to let the corporations rule and have supported deregulation. Despite this warning from one of the founders of the nation:
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."
Thomas Jefferson, Letter to the Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin (1802)
3rd president of US (1743 - 1826)
At least those are political
At least those are political terms.
Tea party, teabag, whatever
The original Tea Party concept has nothing to do with anything mentioned here, including the cartoon. It had everything to do with throwing the British Crown OUT of the United States, and putting paid to royalism on our soil. And, that's what the Tea Party is about, keeping the US sovereign and independent, in a day and age when various foreign entities with deep pockets appear to be lined up to start giving Americans marching orders, essentially. What price independence? Giving up ignorance, and we'll gladly pay it.

Epic Fail
Usually these are pretty funny. This one sncks monkey nuts.
I know this. It's really
I know this. It's really funny. Bonds are lower risk than stock, but lower return, and stock portfolios should be carefully and closely monitored and managed. The closer you get to retirement, the more you should shift your accounts towards stable investments, and experts recommend at least 30% of any 401(k) funds allocation should go straight into savings, to establish a real credit with cold, hard, cash.
Self destructive
The right wing middle class has an overwhelming urge to destroy itself and transfer all its money to the top .01%. Not sure why they constantly vote against their best interests while Rush and Beck and Hannity and Cheney and Rove laugh all the way to the bank.
It's interesting that a
It's interesting that a cartoon, that attempts to make fun of someone not being able articulate a thought, has absolutely no ability to actually debate the issue. Instead, the only response they have is to try to mischaracterize and belittle those who have an opposing view.
You Liberals Suck
The term "teabaggers" was invented by the liberal media to mock the Conservative Tea Party movement. I was in Washington and I saw how successful they were. Thousands of honest, hard working Americans with home made signs (not printed, handed out signs by Acorn), people who truly care and want their country back. Obama and the ultra left wing of the Democratic party are trying to ruin this country at lightning speed before the people know what hit them. I feel sorry for all of the followers who think that there is something called a free lunch. As Obama takes us down the road of Government controlled Healthcare your liberties will be stolen from you and you will wake up someday wondering what happened. Go ahead and laugh. Forgive them for they know not what they do.
Just pathetic
Typical Liberal, Insult anyone who has a different opinion because YOU have to be right!
You can understand that why Americans QUESTION their president because that is a right which is in the Constitution, democracy in action. The pro health care group loves to cite 47 million uninsured, when the real figures are more like 17 million when you weed out the people who can afford health care but decline, non citizens and those who are in between coverage. Yes, we need to reform health care coverage, not throw the baby out with the bath water when we have the best in the world health care, our affordability and coverage needs reform, do not dump the best care when 96% of all people are covered and 87% like their health care. Aside from the fact that NO ONE in this country is actually declined health care. Let us have a good, calm debate over what we need to do to improve our health care coverage, let us not try to silence the opposing view, if you want that then move to China or Russia.
No one is stopping you from hating anyone. What is being stopped is your desire to declare open season on people who's views or lifestyle don't match what your ignorant ass thinks is acceptable. we actually look forward to a peaceful country that doesn't breed hate and violence. I pity your children, should you ever find a willing receptacle for your undoubtedly vile seed
If calling us "tea baggers" is the best they have got, then not only are they witless and spiteful, they are not very bright.
Comparing the Obama
Comparing the Obama administration's spending spree to Bush spending on the war with "where was your protest then?" comments just demonstrates your ignorance of our Constitution.
Whether or not you agree with the reasons we may be at war, it is absolutely the responsibility of the federal government to fund it.
Bailing out Banks (paying full out to creditors like Goldman Sachs no less), bailing out automakers, mandating health insurance - these are not the role of the federal government.
Congress (i.e. legislation) has been in Democratic control since 2006. You people need to learn how to quit blaming Bush for everything wrong - buck up and face the fact that the out of control spending is being done by the current administration. It makes no sense to say, "well Bush spent us into this problem so we get to spend us into a worse one."
Seriously. Simple logic, people.
