I totally agree with them. However it would be nice if people came up with an original thing. Sadly it seems people always do the protests in honor of some past event. People don't drink tea anymore. They should go and tip over and armored car. Ok, maybe not that extreme, the police would probably shoot them. They should go into city hall and knock over the filing cabinets and shred all the papers. Bonus if they do it at the IRS.

[ChrissyMaria]

I drink tea, who says nobody drinks tea anymore! Anyway, the whole purpose of using the tea title was to remind people of the original american revolution which has died out, now a new revolution is here. Lets just hope it doesn't lead to bloodshed this time, or else martial law would be upon us.

I heard that there were over 40 "tea parties". Thanks for posting those links, guerilla.

[Hercuflea]

Yeah sweet tea FTW! But seriously, yeah great job to anyone who went to these events. I love seeing patriots actually getting out there and fighting for their rights! WE WILL NOT LET THIS COUNTRY GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT.

Eh, to me they just seem like a bunch of Libertarians under the guise of a new party.

[ChrissyMaria]

so? Libertarianism is the heart and soul of the original america, not todays united soviet states of socialized america (usssa) I heard that there were over 40 "tea parties". Thanks for posting those links, guerilla. oh your welcome guys, I spread information like this like its a brushfire because the more people I send it too, the more people they send to and we can really start something big here. If there is another protest again in phoenix, im going to be there.

[Serkat]

Libertarianism is the heart and soul of the original america, not todays united soviet states of socialized america (usssa) Yes, because changing something is inherently bad.

[Kiza]

Of course it is, Serkat. Everyone knows that.

[Catbus]

united soviet states of socialized america (usssa) Lol, just lol. If this is socialism to you then I'd hate to see what your definition of fascism is.

[YULAW]

Imo, the protesters need talking points and definately more slicker signs. Slick signs always makes a grand statement.

[Hercuflea]

Wow. Way to jack a thread guys.

[Grod]

Wow. Way to jack a thread guys. Oh stop. Having opposing views to a thread is not jacking it.

[ChrissyMaria]

Im assuming serkat is an obamanaut?

[Shift]

*watches videos and gets misty eyed*

[ChrissyMaria]

Lol, just lol. If this is socialism to you then I'd hate to see what your definition of fascism is. Fascism is when corporations and big government are working together disreguarding the masses, so technically we are fascist also, but obama tends to lean towards the communist side, bush leaned towards the fascist side. Either way, communism or socialism or fascism is bad. Capitalism isn't functioning properly, the markets aren't free.

Either way, communism or socialism or fascism is bad. Capitalism isn't functioning properly, the markets aren't free. Actually, fascism has nothing to do with corporations or big government. Fascist ideals are centered around a dictator (which wouldn't require big government) and national solidarity through relinquishment of personal goals for the betterment of the group. This means there are no corporations, only the state and its industry. As for Obama leading one way and Bush another, Bush started the ball rolling on the stimulus/bailout/redistribution game. Really, your assumption just boils down to the false view of opposing parties. Obama is president and a democrat, so now we can all say "the democrats fixed things" or "the democrats ruined things" but really, Mccain and the republicans would have done just about exactly the same stuff. Political parties in this country exist to give you the feeling of having a choice. I also have to ask, what is your definition of bad? Communism, socialism and even fascism are not inherently bad, only improperly utlized. In a feudal society, fascism is necessary. In a tribal society, communism is necessary. When people want to feel free without having to actually make decisions, democratic republics are the way to go, and when people want to feel as though they own what their effort creates even though they are slaves, capitalism works. Its all a matter of how the systems are applied.

Capitalism isn't functioning properly, the markets aren't free. You can't even have an entirely free market. Do you even realize what would happen? There have to be ethical restrictions. If not profit but social aspects would come first, then an entirely free market might work, but like this, you'll have 80% of the earths population opressed the other objectified (as consumers)

third world countries are starving, because their local farmers would rather sell their local harvested food at a higher price to first world nations. making local grown food too expensive for the starving poor, even if they are the majority. the farmer gets rich, everyone else suffers. thats what happens when you have a total free market. thats whats been happening brazil had the right idea

Fascism is when corporations and big government are working together disreguarding the masses, so technically we are fascist also, but obama tends to lean towards the communist side, bush leaned towards the fascist side. Fascism is when a dictator leads a very nationalist country, like Italy during WWII. Either way, communism or socialism or fascism is bad. Why? Don't make baseless claims.

[ChrissyMaria]

Why? hmm lets see communism is responsible for the deaths of millions under stalin and other ruthless communist dictators. Fascists are responsible for millions of deaths also. Why are you defending socialism fascism and communism when they are proven to fail and cause nothing but fear chaos and death?

Sure communism would be a great system, if all humans were emotionless robots with no greed or jealousy or lust. Without those prerequisites, communism will not work as there will always be someone who seizes power, when there is technically supposed to be no government whatsoever.
