"Thuglicans" and the Tea "Federation Party"

Interestingly there has been some reaction within the Tea "Party" to some of the rampant racism ...https://www.youtube.com/v/-gKmPwm94gY?version=3 (this guy is ... weird?)but then there is still rampant hate mongering of muslims ...Protest in Orange County - Tea Party vs. IslamNote the politicians that are on record as supporting this hate-mongering and catering to the jingoist xenophobia exhibited by ignorant people, gullible bigots that apparently think that all muslims are from foreign countries, all muslims are terrorists, that there are no law abiding US muslim citizens that are little different from you and I. I wonder if the Koch brothers funded this group too.Just look at the bewildered faces of the children --- it breaks my heart.Those of us that lived in the 60's, and were witness to the racist protests, saw people being hated just for the color of their skin, here we see people being hated just for their religion. We know that this evil has not gone away, and that what we see here is just another manifestation of jingoist xenophobic paranoia, because of ignorance.Curiously, this hatred will not go away if these law abiding American Muslim citizens leave America, it will just fester further, because they are not the cause of intolerance and hate, they are the victims.I do think the "Thuglican" hate shows (Rush, Beck et al) are responsible for fomentings and encouraging this vile behavior.It is unconscionable to me that any political group that claims to support American values would condone or countenance such behavior, unless they cynically believe they (individually) are benefiting from it in some way ...... and that gets me to todays Far Left Side cartoon and commentary:Forbidden

Forest, Meet Trees

​

Let's make this perfectly clear, Republicans don't like you.

​

"You" is anyone that doesn't have millions in the bank. End of story.

​

This means they don't really like the pro-lifers or the gun-hoarders but these good folks are very convenient because they're naive enough to rush to the polls every time the GOP blows their dog whistles. Unfortunately, the inability of these groups to see past their Bibles or their NRA pamphlets have supplied Conservatives with all the ammunition they need to ruin this country.

​

Here's the deal in a nutshell... America, as the major consumer of crap in this world, can no longer continue in that role as its manufacturing base has basically collapsed. Real wages have declined over the past 30 post-Reagan years and it's going to get worse. After stripping the U. S. Treasury dry over the last 30 years Republicans are currently in the process of stealing the last major sources of wealth, namely the Social Security trust fund and worker pensions. After that, it'll be the rich sitting in their compounds watching the rest of us fight over what's left. We're Mexico, we're Bahrain, we're a banana republic.

Add "Tea Party" to pro-lifers or the gun-hoarders .... another group of gullible ignorant people that idolize being gullible & ignorant as long as it is gift wrapped in an american flag.There's more, but that's enough for this thread.If anyone can explain to me how this behavior is justified, I'd like to see it.Enjoy.Edited by RAZD, : added

Secession Movements Are Taking Hold Across America

​

NEW CASTLE, For the time political campaigns have been moving to centrism, integrating voter blocs and appealing to unity, scattered groups across New England have been moving to fractionalize, to break their states from the union.

​

Burt Cohen, 57, a former state senator, is leading a front in New Hampshire to secede from the U.S., and join with Maine, Vermont, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Gasp Peninsula to create a new authority called New Acadia or Novacadia based on maps of a 1702 maritime union.

​

Secessionists draw the soul of their ideas from the 1957 Leopold Kohr book The Breakdown of Nations in which Kohr argued social and economic failures are due to a deplorable condition of bigness, he said.

​

The logic is based on the idea that individuals, cities and regions have diverse economic and political interests; once a population becomes too large, resources and taxes are not fairly dispensed and a government fails to provide adequate representation, he said.

Sometimes (often?) I think that the remainder of the US would have been better off if Lincoln had let the South secession happen.

The Second Civil War?
"It does not seem to trouble either Rove or Bush that they are moving us toward a Twenty-first Century civil war -- and that, once again, Southern conservatism is at its core"

​

​

Civil War states (1861-1865): red - Confederacy, blue - Union,
yellow - not yet states, green - non aligned

---

We could have ended up with a Northern Union of States (with the constitution), a Southern Confederacy of States (with their articles of confederation), and perhaps a Western Alliance of States ... and let Alaska go to Canada.Enjoy.

Hi DBlevin Yes and it would be because they serve a public, rather than a private need\purpose. It seems to me that a simple fix would be a requirement that IF anyone show a report on news to include false information, that the broadcasting company be required to air a retraction during the same news slot:"Yesterday we reported that .... and we now find that this information is false."It would be humorous to see how many retractions Faux Spews would need to air before they become more credible.Anybody could be the watchdog, anyone that watches the news and catches someone out (like the palm trees in Minnesota).Enjoy.

Hi Aretemis Entreri Curious then, how a clip from it got on the John Daily show ...
The Daily Show with Trevor Noah - Season 27 - TV Series | Comedy Central USwhich, even while done for entertainment, is more accurate than Foux Spews ...you could also google it and findProtest in Orange County - Tea Party vs. Islam sounds like a good recommendation, thanks.https://www.youtube.com/user/TheYoungTurks Can you show evidence of public union workers spreading hate rather than being the victims of it? Curiously that is the issue here.Enjoy.
