Comment on Watching the Tea Party Fall to Pieces by SF

The Tea Party may not have a favorite amongst the GOP nominees, but to make it look like they’re a spent force is just misleading. They will turn out in droves, once Romney picks a more conservative VP. It’s always the calm before the storm.

“Not all what it’s cracked out to be”? You do realize they gave the Democrats the biggest hiding in 70 years in the midterms, don’t you?

The pot-smoking college crowd can pretend it knows best. But those of us with something you don’t have – jobs – know better than to believe an opinion that passes itself off as fact.

The Tea Party hasn’t fizzled out like those Occupy defecators.

Wishing doesn’t make something so. All of the most recent polls show that the Tea Party is in decline. It may have begun as a grassroots organization but it quickly succumbed to a RW corporatist takeover by the likes of Boehner, Armey, Russo, the Koch Bros, etc. I admired that the TP was angry about the 2008 Wall Street Bailout but noticed that when financial reform in the form of Dodd/Frank was crafted, they were nowhere on the scene. Could it have been because the corporatists didn’t need them, so they organized no events that would have supported the passage of Dodd/Frank? I think so. It was this failure of the TP to act on D/F that allowed me to see that if the corporatists didn’t send the buses and plan the events, the tea partiers would be no shows, even on issues that they claimed as their raison d’etre.

Seth, you just keep telling yourself that. Our numbers are growing, and more people are coming to accept out ideas. It will take awhile, but it will happen.

Well said! This could well be the first chapter in the necessary tale of how a group of rabble rousers tried to use fear and lies to stampede the American public, to preserve a way of life that was never the Pollyana reality they’d like us to believe. Working title? “The Tea Party’s New Clothes.” They’re naked, they’re busted, and it’s time more people started pointing that out.

Malkins comments are pretty representative; that was his point, not that she, as a person, represents all conservatives.

1. Michelle Malkin is one person; she does not represent the conservative voice.
2. I understand how you’re frustrated at America not expressing condolence, but the voice to our country is democrat Barack Obama.
if you look hard enough, there is plenty along these lines to pick out and critique. But I could pick out just as much liberal-bashing propeganda if I so chose to. But it doesn’t move politics in any good direction, so I won’t and *knocks on wood* maybe this cattle prodding can stop?

Comment on Infrastructure: From Soccer City to Tempel Green; Conn student spends summer in South Africa and finds fault with FIFA World Cup by Noam

What do you think FIFA should have done to foster what you have called “human development”? What steps could they have taken than would have allowed them to pull of a successful World Cup (not easy) while also making real change in South Africa?

Comment on Former Harvard Professor Sheds Light on Genocide by Brian

What are you talking about Alex in the last few paragraphs? The only superpowers on earth that are policing the globe are the western nations of the U.S and Europe. The “Eastern superpowers” believe in a policy of non-interference. Hence countries like China or Japan do not start wars like the U.S has done nor have they engaged in covert operations in countries far from their own to destabilize or overthrow the local government. Please feel free to respond Alex,

Best,
Brian

Comment on Roasting, Charlie Sheen? by Mauricio Avendaño

You think it’s appropriate to laugh about a broken down, mentally ill man so desperate for money that he is willing to hurt himself publicly like an 18th century circus, but it’s inappropriate to make jokes about the death of people exactly like this? Ryan Dunn died because all you people kept laughing and paying to see these men seriously hurting themselves like idiots and pretending to have fun doing it… open your eyes these people were clearly desperate for money and since there was absolutely nothing else they could do because their fragile minds and violated integrity couldn’t give them a second chance to become respected on their own right, not just assholes covered in their own shit and vomit, these are human beings we’re talking about and people like you, who paid to see them be denigrated like animals got Ryan Dunn to think it was funny to drink while driving and take pictures and post them on twitter like it’s just another joke… it’s exactly what he had coming as well as all of the other jackasses especially Steve-O if you keep paying to see them act like freaking animals just for some lulz, yet you think it’s funny to see him do his “act” and break his nose for you to laugh?? what makes you any different than Amy Shumer? in truth you are much much worse… I bet you’re some of the people that think Dane Cook is real “comedy” because he’s a christfag, makes a lot of gestures and “politically correct” cliche stand-up and comedians like Anthony Jeselnik are not funny because he makes actually funny, short and intelligent jokes about taboo moral and social issues that get you butthurt because they offend you, what the hell you’re a hypocrite.

“In The Ethical Slut: A Guide to Infinite Sexual Possibilities, Dossie Easton and Janet Hardy famously argued that polyamory inherently fails, because dividing one’s love to multiple people means that less love can be given to each significant other.”

Fred, what book did you read? Cos that’s diametrically opposed to what the Ethical Slut actually says.
