    I think this is more "I think teapartiers are idiots" more than "I hate America".

    There are some people who believe that the only 'Real Murikans' are the teabaggers.

      The teaparty take advantage of the gullibility of people (this does not only apply to Americans). The rather shallow rhetoric takes into account that its adherents rarely check out the information they're fed Another technique they employ, continuously, is to make a number of statements, using a verbal syntax template, that virtually everyone can agree with, and then feeds in their lunacy, using the same pattern, which now becomes acceptable do the the forged similarity. Speeches, rallies, but above all, mob-mentality. By golly, they are, truly, the "Party of Palin" - for it's easy to criticize and give glittering generalities as a semblance of solution, but in real life (as we will, unfortunately, all to seen witness), they will only create partisan destruction. Idiot-worship at its best. Bush and his gang offered the same crap - and all but ruined the United State's economy, and the rest of the world along with it. But, you're welcome to polish up those jack-boots. It's a free country . . . unless you have your way.

      Better go back to playing with your test tubes. Or your testicles. The truth is that there are just many statists on the left as on the right. All of them are ready eager and willing to use the power of government to order those who don't agree with them to live in a manner that will not offend them and to contribute via taxes to the costs of reducing freedom. Whether the lefty wants to force you to feed the poor or the righty wants to censor your books, or the theocrat wants you to worship the only true God using the only acceptable name, it is all about telling people how to think. The tea party is primarily united in its embrace of of fiscal conservatism, not willing to let the feds spend a dime telling you what to think. This, of course, scares the crap out of all statists no matter what political label they claim for themselves so they lie and attribute the motives they have to the tea party.

                  I have to ask - who is this oakman? He seems to post almost exclusively in a private forum. So he just pops out every once in a while to insult and then run back to his sandbox to hide?

                      Oakman is not a bad guy. He is a strong conservative, but not too far right, unlike others you will also meet on this forum, eventually. To him, I am far left (hence my name Le Gauchiste), but in most countries on this planet, I would be considered more centered, probably. Speaking of that private forum, it is opened to any member that is at least 6-month subscriber to Code Project.

                            Not at all*. I think you are left of center, often able to make cogent and well-informed arguments for your point of view. I enjoy debating you because you make me think, occasionally, you even teach me something. The nice thing about SB1 is that the Neanderthals on both sides of the spectrum get spanked and end up leaving.

                                I doubt you were actually describing yourself, so I'll stick with projection. If you want to continue trolling, I won't be joining you. But if you'd like to discuss something, let's. I'd like you to prove Le Gauchiste right in his opinion of you. So far you have failed.

                                  Me, too. But please understand that Stan is (proudly) a social conservative. He is just as willing to use governmental power to enforce his belief system as Nancy Pelosi is - and is thus, just about as far away from my thinking as she is.

                                    One of the reasons I prefer SB1 is that opinions have to be argued, not voted down in a hit and run. But I countered the whiney-boy who gave you a one rather than engaging you.

                                        The biggest problem with the Tea Party, is the fact that its goals and philosophy are not well thought out - they are mostly a reactionary group as opposed to a political school of thought. Even their official website shows that to be true. For example, their Core Beliefs section (non-bold text mine): Illegal Aliens Are Here illegally. Well, duh! Currently our laws do indeed say that it is a misdemeanor to be here in the country without having a green card or visa. But that doesn't even begin to touch on the complexity of the actual issues of what our immigration policy should be. Stronger Military Is Essential. Stronger how? What determines this need and how do we know when it is strong enough? Special Interests Eliminated. Good point maybe, but care to define it better? National Budget Must Be Balanced. Every politician in congress will agree with this, more or less. The question is, how should it be balanced? Deficit Spending Will End. Bail-out And Stimulus Plans Are Illegal. Reduce Personal Income Taxes A Must. Reduce Business Income Taxes Is Mandatory. Political Offices Available To Average Citizens. Intrusive Government Stopped.
                                        All noble goals but I have yet to see truly well thought out philosophies from them on how to do this best (at least not that differ from other parties). Government Must Be Downsized. Agreed, but a significant portion of our spending is on military. How much else are we likely to have to cut in order to downsize if we're increasing military spending from its current levels? Pro-Domestic Employment Is Indispensable. Gun Ownership Is Sacred. English As Core Language Is Required.
                                        What is the philosophy behind these? Traditional Family Values Are Encouraged. What are these? How do we "encourage" these within a government without infringing on people's rights? After all a core value is supposedly "Intrusive Government Stopped". Common Sense Constitutional Conservative Self-Governance Define this...? Libertarianism addresses the issues of big government, personal liberties, etc, but it addresses the issues with well-defined philosophy and political thought.

                                          Not at all*. I think you are left of center, often able to make cogent and well-informed arguments for your point of view. I enjoy debating you because you make me think, occasionally, you even teach me something. The nice thing about SB1 is that the Neanderthals on both sides of the spectrum get spanked and end up leaving.

                                          You shouldn't tease Majerus. He's a newbie. *Far left are the guys who regurgitate the day's release from Daily Kos as if it is their own.

                                          The man who insists that he will walk the middle of the road has his path determined for him by those who define the ditches, and never then takes a step of his own real choosing.
