yabits,
I've studied American history quite a bit happens to be a hobby of mine and I actually consider myself pretty knowledgeable on the subject. You've left out some pretty key parts in your cherry picking above to smear conservatives as usual..
Anyone who has studied American history will see this distinct pattern of violence-prone, hate-filled groups rising up from time to time out of the gutter -- groups of people who think they are the true Americans. From the violently Knights of Labor organization of the 19th century, to the Wooblies to the reformed and reincarnated AFL-CIO, to the to the Union dominated Democratic Party of today. Y'all have one hekuva tradition to try and be proud of.
Background:
Knights of Labor,
The Knights were responsible for race riots that resulted in the deaths of about 28 Chinese Americans in the Rock Springs massacre in Wyoming, and an estimated 50 African-American sugar-cane laborers in the 1887 Thibodaux massacre in Louisiana. The Knights strongly supported the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and the Contract Labor Law of 1885, as did many other labor groups, although the group did accept most others, including skilled and unskilled women of any profession.
Wooblies,
The IWW was founded in Chicago in June 1905 at a convention of two hundred socialists, anarchists, and radical trade unionists from all over the United States (mainly the Western Federation of Miners) who were opposed to the policies of the American Federation of Labor (AFL). The IWW's goal was to promote worker solidarity in the revolutionary struggle to overthrow the employing class; its motto was "an injury to one is an injury to all"

And I also heard it's one small step from mass-transit to communism...
Heh, but they were the same cranks that call Mr Obama a neo-marxist...
No offense, but what do you intend to all the Private for profit small commuter airlines employees after you put them out of business?

The borrowed money from our future generations runs out in two years, the states will once again be left holding the bag and have to either raise taxes to make up for the loss of money or slash budgets their budgets yet again.
Employers think long term not short term. And armed with the knowledge that the tax rate is just going to go back up again in the near future and along with the fact this plan adds another 450 billion in debt on top of the debt we already have accrued through the first go round of Obama's stimulus, they are not going to throw out the "Now Hiring" sign on the front door anytime soon even if this passes.
Our kids will appreciate the noble sacrifices we are making now to ensure their happy retirement in 2033.

My personal belief is that the Tea Party is a reincarnation of the conservative movement that attracted millions of white people in the early part of the 20th century known as the United Klans of America. At that time, as now, the advancements made by people of color and the massive level of immigration of non-English-speaking people were their primary concerns. Then, as now, a great many conservatives denied that the Klans were overtly racist. They were all about "returning America to its roots" and the constitution.
Then as now, intelligent people can see them for what they are.
yabits,
My personal belief is that the Democratic Party is a reincarnation of the communist movement that attracted millions of workers in the early part of the 20th century known as the Soviet Union. At that time, as now, the advancements made by workers and their explotation by business owners were their primary concerns. Then, as now, a great many democrats denied that they were overtly communist. They were all about "workers" and the constitution.
See how easy it is to call you and the democrat's communists also and smear you (and it would also be so full of B.S like you playing the race card). Take a small grain of truth because in fact there was quite a few Democrats who were sympathtic to the Bolshevik philosphy back in that day, paint the whole group with the smear in the present and bask in the "intelligent" insight.

I suppose climate change never happened before human beings had ever existed on the planet and it is just a recent thing by your statement. Or I guess it did happen also then but it was caused by dinosaurs (lot's of methane gas being released by the large sauropods back then).

I did exactly that Yabits.
Got this as the first video
Answering a question from a CNN reporter, Project 21 members Niger Innis (of the Congress of Racial Equality) and Bob Parks, along with Frantz Kebreau of the National Association for the Advancement of Conservative People of All Colors, question the validity of claims that the tea party movement is racist. Niger points out the "agent provocateur" angle, Bob talks about misrepresentation and Frantz questions whether the charges of racism are hyped from the very start. This clip was taken from a gathering of black conservatives at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. on 8/4/10.
The Project 21 black leadership network is a program of The National Center for Public Policy Research.
Dang, do they do number on the CNN reporter........Great video yabits, thanks!!!!!!!

I'd hazard a guess he's saying that the scientists in Galileo's day pretty much said the science was already settled. Galileo came along said it wasn't settled after all and got voted down by his scientific peers at the time.

I said, just because you have a group of scientists that have stood up and said here is the fact, Galileo got outvoted for a spell."
Ummm smith, zurc,
You should do a little research before you post and claim he's dumb.
Galileo's championing of heliocentrism was controversial within his lifetime, when most subscribed to either geocentrism or the Tychonic system.[10] He met with opposition from astronomers, who doubted heliocentrism due to the absence of an observed stellar parallax.[11] The matter was investigated by the Roman Inquisition in 1615, and they concluded that it could only be supported as a possibility, not as an established fact.

I see you totally approve now of war imagery in political speeches and the violence that it entails in our civil discourse Are you now leaning toward the Tea Party now that it meets with your endorsement and approval for their so called violent imagery?

The Obama healthcare law will be the greatest gift to businesses when it is fully implemented; the LA Times had an article today about a small business that saw its insurance bill soar by 60% when a few of their employees actually took advantage of it http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-lazarus-
From the survey about this greatest gift.
Please read the following statement and respond whether you agree or disagree.
“The recent healthcare law makes it much harder for my business to hire more employees.”
TOTAL 72% NET AGREE
44% STRONGLY AGREE
28% SOMEWHAT AGREE
17% TOTALLY NEUTRAL
5% SOMEWHAT DISAGREE
7% STRONGLY DISAGREE
12% NET DISAGREE
and please show me how Washington is regulating businesses out of business. The argument is illogical:
From the survey;
Overall, how reasonable are federal government regulations of small businesses today?
TOTAL 14% NET REASONABLE
3% VERY REASONABLE
11% SOMEWHAT REASONABLE
13% TOTALLY NEUTRAL—NEITHER REASONABLE NOR UNREASONABLE
37% SOMEWHAT UNREASONABLE
36% VERY UNREASONABLE
73% NET UNREASONABLE
> What businesses need is more sustained, predictable demand, and that will come from fuller employment, and that will come only when government resorts to Keynesian stimulus.
It worked so well the first time around that the vast majority of small business owners, the very engine of our job creation and economic well being cite Govt debt and deficit as the primary cause that is hurting their businesses. Tone death to what Americans are actually telling you and the Democrats about what they need to start hiring again, starting with restoring fiscal sanity in Washington and for Washington to get out of the way so they can put people back to work.

Not sure who your source is on that one but it is not right. I went to the U.S Chamber of Commerce's website, the official U.S Govt one. Just google U.S Chamber of Commerce Survey...........
This is what they are saying in a nutshell. The National debt scares them, the Obama health care reform law stinks to high heaven and they want Washington out of the way, way out of the way.
Small business continues to be hesitant to hire. 55% of respondents cited economic uncertainty as their greatest hiring obstacle and 35% said Washington uncertainty impacted growth, while 35% cited too little revenue as their greatest obstacle. 70% of respondents do not plan to hire new employees next year, and 9% will continue layoffs. (See questions 16 and 20.) Two of the top issues of concern are America’s debt and the health care law. 80% said America’s debt and deficit have a negative impact on their business, and 72% of respondents say the health care law has made hiring more difficult. (See questions 27 and 29.) Small businesses want Washington to get out of the way. In a commanding majority, 79% of small business owners say they want more certainty, and only 14% want more government assistance. (See question 14.)

Madverts,
I fail to see having an opposing political viewpoint to yours now makes me a radical. Let me know when I start advocating for an actual revolution or throwing people in jail that I don't like politically then you might actually be on to something.

But it is why no one takes you radcials seriously. Whine about media bias all you like.
Kindly explain to me this then about the article and how they posted these poll numbers.
After Washington’s debt showdown this summer, an Associated Press-GfK poll found that 46% of adults had an unfavorable view of the tea party, compared with 36% just after last November’s election.
That means 54 % still have a favorable view of the Tea Party even after the debt ceiling debate!!! It's still the majority of the American people. I'm in that 54 percent by the way you know the 'radical fringe'.

The total spending of the Bush-43 administration was over 5 trillion. So far, the Obama administration has racked up just under 2 trillion.
Bush was President for 8 years. Obama has been on the job just a little over two and half years now. He's well on the way to racking up and beating Bush hands down in his first four years vs Bush's 8 year actual total on the spending front.

Great Headline,
Fits the current meme that the media is now parroting about the Tea party.
Love this part
That’s much to the delight of Democrats, who are working to paint the anti-tax, pro-small government tea party and the eventual Republican nominee as extreme.
Not to worry, the Media is working just as hard also on that one (see the headline).

It called people voting with their feet.
Good for Texas, it means there are actual entry level jobs that are available and they are hiring. And it also means that people will move up from entry level work as they gain work experience. I worked at a grocery store bagging groceries as my first job and was paid the minimum wage. I don't consider that a bad thing and was grateful to be hired with no actual work experience as a young man at the time.

I'll take the great "extremist" damage he has wrought in Texas as noted by my post above to the national policy level any day of the week, over what the Obama administration has done on the job creation and economic front.

USA Today Article
Finding work may not be quite that simple, but it sure seems that way. While the nation's job growth has limped along since the economic recovery began two years ago, the Lone Star State is enlarging payrolls in Texas-size fashion.
"From June 2009 to June 2011 the state added 262,000 jobs, or half the USA's 524,000 payroll gains, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas and the Bureau of Labor Statistics,"
USA Today Article
Texas moved past New York over the past decade to become the nation's second-largest economy, according to a USA Today examination of data released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
"Texas (GDP) notched one of the biggest increases in size in a half-century, surpassing $1 trillion in annual economic output,"
Kiplinger Article
Texas dominate’s Kiplinger’s Cities with the Lowest Cost of Living list in 2011, claiming five of the top 10 spots. Brownsville took the top spot followed by Fort Hood (#3), Sherman, (#5), Waco (#7), and Austin (#9).
Brookings Institute
Texas leads the nation with six cities - Austin, Dallas, El Paso, Houston, McAllen, and San Antonio - on the top 20 Overall Strongest-Performing Metro Areas list in Brookings Institute’s "MetroMonitor" quarterly report.
Now that is some real change to believe in.
