While Urbane is the resident right wing wacko on this board, he's also the recipe guy, and since I didn't know anything about these "Tea parties" I honestly thought he was posting about food. I didn't notice we were in the current events forum. I'm with you Brianna.

I might go make myself some green tea right now...

Real matoor, classic, real matoor.
Although I do realize that the world revolves around you :p, no I was responding to S123 and her reference to the french - low blow = kick in the nads.

I would never deprive you of your sweet cream, nor your tea.

After that bit, there's really no need to go on with the post, is there?

My mom goes to these tea parties, if that tells you anything..........LOL.

It's a place for suburbanites to talk about the new guns they have purchased and tell each other that Obama is the anti-christ blah blah blah. Obama did it, blame Obama..blah blah blah...Obama the secret spy that was sent from other secret factions to destroy the country la la laaa. (for those of you who haven't heard of these tea parties)
Yes there is a group in this country thinking that they are about to go to war and they get together and talk about it.


Apparently Obama has destroyed this country. Even before he was sworn in he did it somehow. Must be a tricky guy.

There are two types of people. Tea party people and not tea party people. Be advised.

Jebus H...the foil sales must have been through the ROOF. Foil sales as economic stimulus? I like.

Oh lord, I am frightened for us all.

i get a lot of email forwards bashing Obama from this guy that sends me some funny stuff. I really dont give a shit about it enough to ask him to stop sending political stuff, but i find it mildly distasteful.

Yea, there were people with signs who STILL think Obama is not a US citizen.

What really slays me about the people who are protesting the whole tax issue, is that most of them will do better under Obama. How the right gets people to vote against their own best interests, or to go out and protest for something that is against their own best interests, is beyond me.

No one will do better tax wise under Obama. I don't think its his fault its just a reality. A LOT, an unimaginable amount of money has been spent and it has to come from the taxpayers - period. Do not listen to the, far right NOR left, wackos. The numbers are what they are - we, the taxpayers ARE the income for the gubmint. That hasn't changed and isn't likely to anytime soon.

I find it best to gauge my views on the extreme fringes of a group. It's much easier to ignore the issues that way.
