Author | Topic: Tea Party Questions | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I'm wondering if there are any conservatives/tea party people on the forum that can have an adult discussion about the tea party's position on various issues. I consider myself conservative and am capable of having adult discussions... but I'm not so sure about you. Are we going to be seeing much of this same childish stuff from you that we have in the past?:

I want to have someone explain the 'logic' behind some of these positions. Well, honestly, I think you're right where you said this:
quote: From the supposed TP's I've talked to, they don't arrive at these position through logic. They just liked them after they heard them and then continue to spread them.
quote: Who are the "higher ups" and what is their agenda? Most of the TP spreadings I have seen have come from other TP'ers... I haven't found the ultimate source yet.

I'm just saying that they are hot to trot about what they consider "personal responsibility
Even for things that people aren't responsible for? That makes no sense. Wait.... do you really think the audience thought the man to not be responsible? You had a good point but you seem to have caved early to avoid dispute.

That said...let's be really honest here: "personal responsibility" mostly refers to "how good you had it growing up." Many of the major influences over your life are determined before you're even old enough to make your own decisions at all, let alone be responsible for yourself. sort of, but equalizing things like the state you were born in levels the playing field. and if you open the umbrella of personal resonsibility to include the parent-child relationship, then the whole thing makes more sense. considering your children to be an extension of yourself; the way you raise them, or the way your parents raised you, becomes included in personal responsibility.
I don't have a problem with "personal responsibility" determining how successful you are. I think it's appropriate that one's choices in life should provide the opportunity to improve one's lifestyle. and if those choices are extended beyond the single individual, to include the parent-child relationship, then i can transfer some of that to my own children as i should be able to do. i consider that to be a large part of my "success".
But I suppose I'm an idealist as long as you don't become unrealistic
Fuck the Teabaggers, and fuck Wall Street. sure, why not sorry for the lack of caps, moose, but i'm not at home and this shift key is all fucked up... and its a shame that'd i even have to type this

You are saying that an American Citizen's rights should be determined by the whether or not some other American Citizen was responsible or not. non sequitur

Thanks for the tip, but I do know what it means.
What you said I was saying didn't follow from what I actually said. Here's a tip: Spinning people's position into different ones so that you can ridicule them makes you look like an asshole.

My only point originally was that Nuggin's language in message 5:
- The same Tea Party is cheering the death of an uninsured man at the debates. did not fairly capture the Tea Party's position. And I agree with you and think you were explaining it well... until crash spun you just a little bit and then you immediately fell over But you shouldn't even bother with Nuggin's phraseology, he does everything he can to villify his opponents (so much that it comes off as trolling to me); so don't waste your time**.
That doesn't mean that I agree with what (I think) the Tea Party's actual position is. Of course not. **ABE You can see what I mean in Message 45 quote: quote: quote: He can't be serious, can he? Anybody in their right mind can see that I wasn't attacking children... er maybe that's it, maybe he's just crazy. And what with all the foam I'm imagining comming out of his mouth, dontcha just picture him like you would Dennis Markuze? Edited by Catholic Scientist, : see abe

You were implying that the children who are American citizens should not receive healthcare if their parents didn't live up to your standard of being "personally responsible". Nope, sure wasn't.
Here's a tip: You're an asshole. You should be suspended for that.

Welcome to the forum. You can page back up and see what other people have written. Let me give you an example:
Here's a tip: Spinning people's position into different ones so that you can ridicule them makes you look like an asshole. That would be a DIRECT QUOTE from YOU. Yes, doing those things does make people look like assholes. Now, where did I call you an asshole?
Denying a child healthcare because their parent doesn't live up to your standard of "personal responsibility" is denying an American Citizen healthcare for the actions or inactions of another person. That's fine, but that doesn't have anything to do with my position, thus the non sequitur.
Given that that are NOT a non sequitor, we can only conclude one of two things. False premise, it *is* a non sequitur.
So, don't get all pissy with me, Barbie. Stop crapping yourself. Stop crying. Be a fucking man and own up to your arguments or admit that you are just pulling this crap out of your ass You should be suspended for that too.

Show me where in your position you are NOT talking about parents, children and the personal responsibility Oh, I was talking about those things... what I wasn't talking about was denying a child healthcare because their parent doesn't live up to my standard of "personal responsibility". Nor was I saying that an American Citizen's rights should be determined by the whether or not some other American Citizen was responsible or not. Both of those are things you made up to spin my position into a ridiculous one. Par for the course from you, though.

Well, its been interesting to see you your mind works, but you have not accurately described my position here, and its clear to me that you've misunderstood what I was trying to say.
I'll break it down for you a little better later, because I have to get back to work now, but here's all the things I wrote:
quote: I was trying to make more sense out of what crash said made none, to which rahvin continued on with because I thought they were zoomed in a little bit too far. The point I was trying to make was the second part, that I should be able to improve my childrens' lives through my own personal responsibility. Futher, well.. shit. I really gotta go back to work... I'd like to explain this further... wait, you know what? Fuck it. I couldn't give any less of a shit about you. I'm not going to waste any more of my time on this.

Would a catholic conservative be seen taking up Britain's corruption of the Balfour, which happens to be the worst Post-W.W.II crime today? This is of course absent in the Tea Party's radar, which says Britain enjoys an immunity of the gravest of crimes. Sorry, I don't understand the question. What do you mean?

The tea party is a one-eyed jack in as much as it condones the corruption of the Balfour and accounts a 3-state as a 2-state and muslims as Palestinians - these are covert genocidal factors candy coated as rightious. It also stains all catholics who turn cheeks on such crimes against Israel.

Overall per capita spending (including private dollars) on health care is about double what you guys pay, and that doesn't even cover everyone (the uninsured are left out of this equation). For profit health care has resulted in a doubling of the cost, the exact opposite of what Republicans/TPer's claim should happen in a free market system. But how much more money do we spend on research and other advances to medicine that the Canadians can just piggy-back off of? Is it really an apples-to-apples comparison?
