Teabaggers [modified]
-
One thing I found interesting was in a rant about name-calling, you used an insulting and demeaning version of the Tea Party's name - even though the movement is named after one of the first exhibition of an American National Patriotism. Enlighten me: how exactly is this OK when you objected so strongly to my pointing out that the reason "bugger" has become an euphemism for anal sex was that the Brits decided that ass-fucking was the Bulgarian national pastime? Or is it different when you do it???

Subject closed[^] The American Teabaggers have gotten in the habit of comparing Obama to to Hitler and are often seen carrying signs depicting the President's face with a little mustache on his upper lip. Like Hitler, Obama is an eloquent public speaker. Clearly the ability to articulate in public equates one with the murderer of 6 million Jews and the general personification of evil. You know who else was a great public speaker? Steve Allen. Or should I say "Steve Hitler." So was that guy you saw give a great toast at a wedding. I bet you didn't realize you were listening to Hitler. :-D

Why is it called the tea party? It isnt named after the Boston Tea Party is it, where a load of traders dressed up as Indians and threw some tea bags into the St Lawrence?
============================== Nothing to say.
I think the word you were looking for was "traitors", and the use of that word depends on who's ideology you favor. To the crown, they word "traitors", or in today's vernacular, would be called "domestic terrorists". To us, they were "rights activists", or even "patriots". Today's "Tea Party" was named after the Boston Tea Party in that they claim to be fighting to get our rights and proper representation back. To *me*, they're just a bunch of politicians (and ex-lawyers), and as such, they aren't to be trusted with *my* liberties. The only person that can reclaim *my* liberties and rights as enumerated in the Constitution, is *me*.

Rightly or wrongly, US politics has a real impact on our lives.

But, you still can't vote for em, so, um, maybe the energy is better used on local politics? Also, if you think either party in the U.S. isn't full of complete shit, then you don't quite understand politics here.

Find me a politician anywhere who's trustworthy and honest and I'll show you a man who isn't a politician.

Hitler: responsible for the deaths of forty million people; instigated World War II; attempted to take over Europe; fond of genocide and racial purity; manipulated Hindenburg into giving him absolute power. Obama: black.
Ravel H. Joyce wrote:
responsible for the deaths of forty million people
Wow, with every decade that number grows larger. Are you including the Pacific arena?
Ravel H. Joyce wrote:
instigated World War II
He didn't. Britain and France declared war on Germany. Hitler expected them to climb down over Poland as they had over Czechoslovakia, and his every breach of the Versailles Treaty.
Ravel H. Joyce wrote:
attempted to take over Europe
To the East, he was merely reclaiming land that was in the hands of Germanic tribes in Roman times. To the West, it was self-defence. (The USSR? Well, we all make mistakes.)
Ravel H. Joyce wrote:
fond of genocide and racial purity
Australian settlers had their genocidal moments, I believe. ("Let me Abos go loose, Bruce. Let me Abos go loose. They're of no further use, Bruce. So let me Abos go loose." is a lingering aftertaste of previous generations' of gratuitous racism.)
Ravel H. Joyce wrote:
manipulated Hindenburg into giving him absolute power
Hindenburg did not give Hitler absolute power. Hitler was Head of Government, Hindenburg was Head of State. Hindenberg could remove Hitler from office and, as head of the armed forces, make sure that he went.

"Business!" cried the Ghost, wringing its hands again. "Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, were, all, my business. The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!" Like you, I just try, in my own way, to look out for the common welfare. ;)

I never promised you that I would shut up just because you realized what an ass you were being about having been thrown out of Soapbox 1. But I'll tell you what: I don't spend any time in the Backroom. Go hang out there with your boyfriend, Eric, and you won't have to read anything I write, ever. Or maybe you could ask Chris to create a special forum for gays, lesbians and transsexuals.

Anything inappropriate for this forum will be deleted immediately." Well, I guess the only parts not in there are climate change and religion.

They called themselves the "Sons of Liberty" and were headed up by Paul Revere & Sam Adams - who were rather pissed that Crazy George III had occupied Boston with two regiments of British soldiers, in order to force Americans -- as they were beginning to think of themselves -- to buy tea from the East India Company, in which George owned a large share. Crony capitalism then, little difference from crony capitalism now.
