OWS vs Tea Party

Most Americans are not politically aware.

While they can name all 5 finalists on American Idol, they cannot name their Congressman.

It’s nice they have priorities. And explains how we have the morons governing us in Washington presently. The Tea Party movement came out of nowhere to stand up and speak out against out-of-control government spending. While the Tea Party has been vilified by liberals and the Democrat party, it has continued to grow in strength.

Leftists have used everything from Alinsky tactics to lying to name calling to the total use of the mainstream media to destroy the Tea Party. But they underestimated the patriotism of the producers in America who support the Constitution and believe in capitalism.

Many of the American Idol experts have sat idly by listening to Chris Matthews and Katie Couric disparage the Tea Party movement. They had nothing to compare the movement to. All of that changed when the Occupy Wall Street circus came to New York and spread quickly across the country.

Like an infection. Small bands of idiots with stupid signs printed by unions spouting lunacy have littered and shat across the formerly pristine parks they now infest in dozens of American cities.

What a stark difference from the Tea Party movement.
Patriots holding American flags have orderly events with poignant messages about liberty and freedom and then leave in an orderly fashion.

Contrast that with the Occupy Wall Street miscreants!
Arrests, rapes, flag burnings, pro-communist chanting, garbage, incessant drumming, filth, profanity and lots and lots of losers who still don’t really know why they’re there!

Americans now clearly have a choice of what political ideology they want to support. On the one side, they can support hard working, law-abiding, patriots who pay this nation’s bills or they can support the moochers who don’t while calling for killing the rich…whoever they are…and socialism!

What does this say that the Democrat Party supports this group of leftist wasteoids while lying about tax paying, productive Americans in the Tea Party? It says the Democrat party must go away until it can return to the political scene as a serious, pro-American party instead of a party more aligned with America ’s enemies!

Thank you George Soros and labor unions! You have exposed the idiocy of socialism once again and the stupidity of the people who call for it. Stalin used to call these people “useful idiots.” Angry White Dude calls them “useless idiots!”
And the best thing that ever happened to the Tea
Party movement and America ! Look hard, America at what your liberal schools and government has created! And bring a bar of soap and a hose!

Wow, I didn't realize it was a contest. What resonates with one personally isn't the message, only the medium.

On the other hand, OWS did revive the term "dirty hippy" back into the American lexicon, so kudos to the "right".

It is almost 2012 and we are still so backward. It is so funny to see people repeating what they hear through the propaganda services.

What is good for your neighbors is also good for you. What is good for the people who own and control the media is in direct competition to what is good for the voters and taxpayers.

If you let the propaganda services do your thinking for you then you deserve to pay, and pay, and pay.

If you learn to think for yourself you earn the right to prosper.

We all know that the Tea Party-induced double dip recession thanks to their debt ceiling fiasco has nothing to do with their current disastrous drop in the public opinion polls, it's all that ole Linsky and all. And OWS, just big rape parties, and all. If anyone is looking for the "stupid" in the American electorate, they just found it.

So anyone who believes "propaganda" is worthy of scorn and ridicule?

Really? So those that prosper have learned to think for themselves, and those that do not prosper deserve scorn because they believe propaganda... got it.

So my neighbors are "X" color and have gotten a government provided stipend which pays for much of their house, foodstamps which buy them food, a cell phone, preference in government jobs and some colleges while I get none of that. Tell me how I'm better off with the government taking more of my money and giving it to my neighbors instead of me being able to spend it on further education of my children.

Yeah, I'm sure it's Soros' fault that the tea party's popularity polls are in single digits right now. Proof that the American voting population has no mind of it's own. Uh Huh.

Hahaha!!!

I like the self-referential final assertion.

I would argue that it was the opposite. Politics became, or was, well political. How can one expect to really have a voice with these morons in office? So to me it is the opposite. Politics became distant from the American citizen individually so they stopped caring.

Chicken or the egg.

We all know......

You will be amazed at what you "know" now that turns out to be not so.
Provided you are open and honest.

If I recall correctly, he didn't grow up in an all-white family, either.

As for which group is more well behaved, that prize probably goes to the Tea Party, although I seem to recall some rude behavior at some town hall events in 2010. My problem with the Tea Party is that few of their ideas make any sense. They do not seem to have a good understanding of the core values or philosophies on which this country is founded. And their economic theories seem like a recipe for permanent economic depression.

You must be referring to their non-scientific rationale?

You sound jealous. Do you think that is good for your neighbors and it would be good for you if you could get it?

An assumption about your neighbors' finances based on their color, or are you their accountant?
