Is anybody going to a Tax Day Tea Party?

I would go to the one in Sacramento, but I'm working.  Is anyone going to a Tea Party in their area?  

Glenn Beck puts the government spending into perspective, and I don't care if you don't like Beck, fact of the matter that the current economic "solution" is horrible.

oh dear, how did 3 videos become embedded?

A what?

Obviously you think Glenn Beck's ridiculous position is so correct that it was necessary to post it thrice!!

Funny thing about people like Glenn Beck is that they're all fucking hypocrites when it comes to the economy and spending. The man supports more war, which take that as you want, I don't want a discussion of whether war is good or bad, but the fact is, it is one of the biggest fucking drains on the economy. So if he really wants to balance to budget and get the US economy back on the right track, it's one position he really shouldn't be too happy supporting.

Don't get me wrong the economy is in a shit state, the worlds economy that is, not just the US, but I can't stand hypocritical positions. And he seems like he's against the New World Order and banking elites and yet willingly supports their fucking foreign policy positions? Exsqueeze me? How can you be against the NWO agenda and also be a supporter of their foreign policy aims? That's like me saying I'm not a white supremacist but I'm just gonna walk along with a KKK march anyway.

"A what?"

"Obviously you think Glenn Beck's ridiculous position is so correct that it was necessary to post it thrice!!

Also, what the fuck is a Tea Party?

"

That's retarded.

Horrible idea, anyways.

"That's retarded."

Paying taxes is patriotic.

My entire political platform revolves around whither or not I am happy. So currently I work a part time, shit job and have a degree to teach high school. Me finding a teaching job would only improve my financial situation. That being said, with my current, terrible job I am 100% happy. I can buy whatever I want within reason. I have modest taste and videogames are my main hobby. When a game comes out, or a game console, I go out and buy it. Therefore I am happy.

So the taxes that come out of my check dont effect me, they dont exist. I dont care where they go and who they go too. The only money that exists in my realm are the ones in my bank account, and wallet. You will always pay taxes...get over it.

Glenn Beck is out of his mind, and the chart in that video is more than likely unadjusted for inflation, not to mention nothing on it is even sourced.

I dont care what they do with it...they have been doing horrible, and decent things with it for 200 years...i am sure they will continue to do the same. I also dont mind giving it to them.

So what are you saying?  That the graph will look slightly better than it does in the video?"

The graphs that Al Gore used to illustrate Global Warming were propaganda...and so are these. Its all perspective.

I dont care...I honestly dont care...I have a car, can afford all my hobbies, and have seen nice places in the world. As I said getting a career will only improve my situation even if the government takes more money out.

I get by...if even 1 dollar of my entire lives taxes goes to someone who could use it...goes to promote one social program, or helps one person...it was worth it.

I have nice things.

This isn't a protest of paying taxes.  Its a protest of paying too much taxes!  The stimulus plan sent spending straight through the roof, we're going to have to pay for that.  Those paychecks of yours will only shrink as time goes on."

Conservatives always gotta worry about other people...worry about yourself.

I am sure you are happy and have plenty of money.

I am sure you think I am just one of the sheep, happy to get taken advantage of...and thats fine if i am...let me reiterate, IM HAPPY.

It's $250k.

"It's $250k."

Glenn Beck is a fake, just like the entirety of FoxNews and all mainstream news channels. He pretends to be patriotic when he is trying to debunk everything people like Ron Paul and others brought forward. This sudden move from FoxNews and others for supporting some stuff Ron Paul was promoting is only for hijacking the real movement that started in the 90s, when the news about New World Order and stuff started coming out. Hijacking it and neutering it.

Guess what? All the mainstream news denied the New World Order and called anybody who denounced it a conspiracy theorist or lunatic, and here we are. The New World Order is a reality officially announced in the G20 meeting and you are going down. We are all going to live in a global socialist dictatorship. Is this the change you wanted when you voted on Obama?

While I wouldn't believe anything that Glenn Beck says without hearing a rebuttel, I'll assume that he's showing the facts as they are for half a second here. Even if that is the case, even if somehow Bush's money printing didn't surpass anything that had ever been done before, we are in the middle of a unique crisis, and it will take unique solutions to get out of it. This country needs money to get out of debt. I am going to trust my president to get me and the rest of my country out of this situation. Besides, we still haven't hit the 100 day mark yet, and the amount of criticism being heaped on him is appaling for people who just a few months ago were criticizing others for not standing behind their president.

Paying too much taxes despite the fact that Obama's economic plan gives the largest middle-class tax break since the creation of the Sixteenth Amendment, and that the taxation levels are no higher than they were during Clinton's administration?  Yeah okay, dude."

Alex Jones has interesting theories, but that's all they are, theories. They make you think though. He sounds like a lunatic on his radio program, interviewing people who talk about how someone got assassinated by the Illuminati and crazy backwards shit like that. Never consider conspiracy theory videos as fact, either, because it's almost always bullshit."

"Ignore him. In idiotic times people tend to laugh at the sane individuals. A man that calls for sane economic policies, prudent policies, a more thoughtful approach to foreign affairs is going to be laughed at in this day and age. Funniest thing of all is that Ron Paul is slowly being proven right."

You're fully aware that you're talking about a man who claimed that urban areas are soon going to be warzones in the coming race wars, right?

Oh, and Martin Luther King, Jr.'s a homosexual pedophile!!

"

Oh here's the Martin Luther King jr comments:

It was a newsletter NOT written by Ron Paul, but one merely carrying his name on it, one which he even said he did not actually read.

To Quote Ron Paul:

"When I was out of Congress and practicing medicine full-time, a newsletter was published under my name that I did not edit," Paul said in a statement issued by his campaign on Jan. 8. "Several writers contributed to the product.

"For over a decade, I have publicly taken moral responsibility for not paying closer attention to what went out under my name," he continued.

And judging by what the man actually does say and do, walk the walk so to speak, all is forgiven Ron, we all make mistakes. NEXT.

"Keyser_Soze said:

"Please get me the relevant quotes, because I have never heard anything to do with what you've just stated about Martin Luther King jr."

http://www.tnr.com/downloads/december1990.pdf under the section entitled "Dr. King."

"

"When I was out of Congress and practicing medicine full-time, a newsletter was published under my name that I did not edit," Paul said in a statement issued by his campaign on Jan. 8. "Several writers contributed to the product.

"For over a decade, I have publicly taken moral responsibility for not paying closer attention to what went out under my name," he continued.

In his Jan. 8 statement, Paul denounced his comments about King as "small-minded thoughts" and said he "never uttered such words."

"In fact, I have always agreed with Martin Luther King, Jr. that we should only be concerned with the content of a person's character, not the color of their skin," he said in the Jan. 8 statement. "As I stated on the floor of the U.S. House on April 20, 1999: ‘I rise in great respect for the courage and high ideals of Rosa Parks who stood steadfastly for the rights of individuals against unjust laws and oppressive governmental policies.'"

So a trillion dollar stimulus plan and a 4 trillion dollar budget by Obama is trustworthy yet anyone who dares to oppose Obama is immediately criticized?  The reason why he's gotten so much flak so far is because of his hasty, and almost reckless run into passing this stimulus bill.  But really thats the Congress fault as they pushed it through so fast that no one was able to actually read the whole thing in its entirety.  This country does not need money to get out of debt, its the same type of Keynsian spending that FDR tried in the depression, and there is no where in history where this sort of tactic has done any good.  By the time these programs and spending get pushed through the economy will be coming out of its decline and we'll be left with a massive debt, and how are we to pay it off?"

Ugh, I am NOT going to do the Keynesian arguement on this offtopic forum again. I am not at all saying that anyone that opposes Obama should be criticized, but these Fox guys are crazy for a number of other reasons, namely O'Reilly's stalking, and everyones smearing. They smear everyone from Obama to Jon Stewart to Bloggers. Like I said about Obama, he's still in his grace period in my book. I could understand if people started really getting on his case after 100 days, but honestly, Fox has been nothing but ragging on the guy from day one."

should bring a concern to anyone who enjoys capitalism? Do you honestly believe all of this shit about him trying to turn America into Europe and adopting a worldwide currency and junk? Ill make a correction to my previous statement: Those commentators on fox news AND the people who listen to them give conservatives a bad name. I will give them some credit though: they can be very persuasive with their threats of annihlation and doomsday

Oh Lord.  Now with the conspiracy theories and Alex Jones.

Personally, I think this sort of lunacy only weakens the credibility of valid problems in society.  It goes in all directions.

Be grounded and logical and don't take up with the loonies and you'll be more credible.  It doesn't matter what you believe is write in government or economy or morals, all views are weakened whenever this sort of hyperbole, fear mongering and craziness crops up.
