		<description>Well, the opposition that I&#039;ve seen to it seems mostly to come from the fact that they can&#039;t imagine a movement that has &quot;the rich&quot; among its supporters as being anything but some false-consciousness-style manipulation.</description>

		<description>Aren&#039;t we paying for some unjust wars in Middle East as well? oh!! I just remembered whose government approved the 700 billion dollars bail-out... Ask them how they came up with that number..  I think it was that one guy who said that we were going to war but our taxes were not rising (and never mentioned anything about our debt)...</description>

		<description>I love coming to read this blog - not for the libtard comments from the likes of Levi - because I find that I am reading the thoughts of people who are totally rational in outlook ;)

One thought went through my mind when I saw the comment about libtards having a let down, and since I am a mother :) the thing that popped into my head about their bitter reactions to the tea party is post-natal depression. I have to chuckle because I did not suffer from this phenomenon. 

Basically, when a woman gives birth there is a sense of euphoria for maybe 12 to 24 hours. After that time period, or at least by the third day, there is a let down feeling. This is what is called the baby blues. It would seem that this is indeed the period during which there is that let down after the euphoria, which has led these nutroots to vent their spleen all over the place as they continue to distort truth in an effort to legitimize themselves :)</description>

		<description>It does no good to argue with liberal minded folk, they are blind to the  truth because as we all know that to them the end always justifies the means we know this because most of them see nothing wrong with the destruction of the most innocent life, rational arguments about law and constitution are just so much chatter to those who see themselves as so superior to the normal Americans who they see as not intelligent enough to take care of their own affairs. They will blindly follow Obama into the socialist  abyss never stopping to take note of the millions of dead and miserable souls that this insidious evil has left in it&#039;s wake around the world. Until Levi gets his turn in a soup line he will never get it. He will always think it is about pure politics as if it were a game like baseball that has no long term consequences, like the loss of freedom or the loss of incentive or the ideals that the founders spoke so eloquently about,  life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  I would suggest that Levi and his ilk not be responded to because it is a waste time and energy that should be channeled into defeating all that he stands for. His mind is mired in ignorance and I do not believe there is a cure for that kind of stupid.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;accusations that heâ€™s destroying the country or irrevocably changing the government for the worse are prevalent on this blog. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

I keep asking and liberals refuse to answer: Massive debt and government takeover of private businesses does WHAT to help the country???

&lt;blockquote&gt;Rachel Maddow has barely been able to get through her reporting about the tea parties without bursting into laughter. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

One day Madcow derisively states that quoting Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest is &quot;classy&quot;. A few days later, she tries to see how many times she can say &quot;teabagging&quot; and oral sex references in one interview.

Which is more classy?

Get back on the radio, Farva.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;you canâ€™t just blame everything on George Bush&lt;/i&gt;

Why not? Liberals like you do.

Or is this, like cheating on your taxes, &quot;torture&quot; policies, criminal behavior, and endorsement of racists, something that is OK when Obama does it?</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Oh, Levi, Levi, Levi, why is it that you so need to attack Republicans?&lt;/i&gt;

Because modern Republicans are one of the worst things things that this country has ever had to deal with. The leadership you&#039;ve been providing has been absolutely catastrophic. And don&#039;t pretend that you guys aren&#039;t using the same sort of language about Obama, accusations that he&#039;s destroying the country or irrevocably changing the government for the worse are prevalent on this blog. 

You guys are awfully defensive for being the party that supposedly worships personal responsibility. Yes, I&#039;m attacking Republicans.  That&#039;s what you&#039;re supposed to do in politics, particularly when there&#039;s a group failing as badly as you guys are. Stop whining and own up to your share of the responsibility for the past eight years.

&lt;i&gt;Levi, if you guys arenâ€™t throwing temper tantrums, why the language quoted above about â€œf***nuts.â€ Iâ€™ve read the left-wing blogs and it is a kind of hysteria.&lt;/i&gt;

Dropping an f-bomb doesn&#039;t constitute a temper tantrum. I&#039;ve read the left-wing blogs, too, and I&#039;m just not identifying the seething anger or hysteria that you are. Liberals seem to be having a lot of fun with the tea parties, I&#039;ve been looking forward to it, in fact. No one&#039;s trying to stop you from having them and no one is wasting any time &#039;trying to discredit&#039; them, because you guys didn&#039;t have any credibility to start with. Rachel Maddow has barely been able to get through her reporting about the tea parties without bursting into laughter. You&#039;re very obviously fooling yourselves and doing something that you habitually accuse the left of doing; playing the victim. 

&lt;i&gt;Did you even read the passage you quoted on how the left â€œwould react.â€ Thatâ€™s the point Iâ€™m driving at. And no, conservative blogs did not repeat in unison that the rallies were illegitimate.&lt;/i&gt;

Dude, this blog still makes that accusation, from main-page contributors and commenters alike. Whenever you guys spin that yarn about liberals focusing on personalities and conservatives focusing on policy, isn&#039;t there an implication that any and all criticism of Bush and the Iraq were based on nothing other than hatred of a man? Not to over-use a cliche, but I&#039;d be a billionaire if I had a nickel for every time someone accused me of having &#039;Bush Derangement Syndrome.&#039; That was a catch-all dismissal of any liberal criticism of George Bush and it was universally used in conservative circles. It remains a popular retort to this day. 

I mean, did I just never truly understand what it meant to be told that I had BDS? As a liberal, I thought the only reason I felt or did or said anything was because I mindlessly hated George Bush? Isn&#039;t that the exact definition of calling liberal grievances illegitimate? 

&lt;i&gt;Why, why, why must you attack so? We are moving on the use of new technologies. Why do you need to deny what is obvious to anyone who is paying attention?&lt;/i&gt;

I&#039;m not exactly sure what you&#039;re so proud of. These technologies aren&#039;t new at all, Democrats have taken advantage of them to do far more impressive things, like raising record amounts of money and catapulting Democrats into the White House and Congress. You think it&#039;s a big deal that you can have a bunch of meetings all over the country on the same day? I certainly don&#039;t, not when you compare that to what the Democrats have been capable of. Let&#039;s see you guys utilize the tech to raise some money and win some elections, then I&#039;ll be impressed. 

&lt;i&gt;I agree conservatives needs follow up on the things we say weâ€™re going to do. And where do I say that legitimacy should automatically be conferred on us?&lt;/i&gt;

These are your words: &quot;Canâ€™t they at least acknowledge the legitimacy of our grievances?&quot; How else is that to be interpreted other than begging to have legitimacy automatically conferred upon you? 

&lt;i&gt;And no, Levi, conservative ideas did not get their turn. If you think that you have no ideas what our ideas are nor any sense of the criticism we conservatives leveled against the Bush Administration and Republican Congresses over many of those last eight years.&lt;/i&gt;

And here it is again, the schizophrenic insistence that real conservatives had nothing to do with George Bush and the Republicans. This is another thing that cuts at your guys legitimacy and credibility - you can&#039;t just blame everything on George Bush and expect the rest of the world to demarcate between a small group of neo-cons and their rank-and-file supporters who earned a reputation for being totally uncritical. Take some responsibility, isn&#039;t that what you&#039;re always advising people to do?

&lt;i&gt;Oh Levi, you do spend so much time on this blog. And you are so filled with hate for us. Iâ€™m flattered by your interest in me, but the feeling, well, itâ€™s just not mutual. But, it does amuse me.&lt;/i&gt;

That&#039;s all true. I do spend a lot of time here, I certainly don&#039;t like you, and I am interested in you and anyone else that supports the crazy things that you support. I&#039;m also well aware that you don&#039;t care about me or any other liberals for that matter, being incurious is an extremely necessary characteristic for belonging to your political ideology. Real liberalism isn&#039;t anything like what you guys spend so much time dramatically bellowing about.</description>

This is another thing that cuts at your guys legitimacy and credibility &#8211; you can&#8217;t just blame everything on George Bush and expect the rest of the world to demarcate between a small group of neo-cons and their rank-and-file supporters who earned a reputation for being totally uncritical. Take some responsibility, isn&#8217;t that what you&#8217;re always advising people to do?</p>
<p><i>Oh Levi, you do spend so much time on this blog. And you are so filled with hate for us. Iâ€™m flattered by your interest in me, but the feeling, well, itâ€™s just not mutual. But, it does amuse me.</i></p>
<p>That&#8217;s all true. I do spend a lot of time here, I certainly don&#8217;t like you, and I am interested in you and anyone else that supports the crazy things that you support. I&#8217;m also well aware that you don&#8217;t care about me or any other liberals for that matter, being incurious is an extremely necessary characteristic for belonging to your political ideology. Real liberalism isn&#8217;t anything like what you guys spend so much time dramatically bellowing about.</p>

		<description>Oh, Levi, Levi, Levi, why is it that you so need to attack Republicans?

Levi, if you guys aren&#039;t throwing temper tantrums, why the language quoted above about &quot;f***nuts.&quot;  I&#039;ve read the left-wing blogs and it is a kind of hysteria.

Did you even read the passage you quoted on how the left &quot;would react.&quot;  That&#039;s the point I&#039;m driving at.  And no, conservative blogs did not repeat in unison that the rallies were illegitimate.

Why, why, why must you attack so?  We are moving on the use of new technologies.  Why do you need to deny what is obvious to anyone who is paying attention?

I agree conservatives needs follow up on the things we say we&#039;re going to do.  And where do I say that legitimacy should automatically be conferred on us?  

And no, Levi, conservative ideas did not get their turn.  If you think that you have no ideas what our ideas are nor any sense of the criticism we conservatives leveled against the Bush Administration and Republican Congresses over many of those last eight years.

		<description>&lt;i&gt;But now itâ€™s starting to sink in that their lives are just as miserable as they were before. The happiness they feel entitled to has not been delivered. So, itâ€™s time to look for someone to blame.&lt;/i&gt; 

That, and they&#039;ve poured their credibility down the toilet, what with Obama&#039;s bumbling, Cabinet full of tax cheats, support of massive tax increases, tripling and quadrupling government spending, and support of policies which they loudly screamed before constituted &quot;torture&quot; and &quot;fascism&quot;.

They can&#039;t deal with the fact that they lied and Obama lied, so rather than do that, they try to eliminate anyone who holds Obama and the Obama Party accountable.</description>

		<description>What a bunch of typical blather from little-letter-people who would rather engage in name-calling than genuine political discourse (hello, boob, gillie and TL).

If conservatives are truly disorganized, bumbling idiots (as the current liberal narrative would have you believe), how are we also capable of pulling-off a massive organizational effort like a national Tea Party movement? 

Of course, liberals are engaging in a conspiracy theory when they say such things. It&#039;s actually much easier to believe the Tea Party phenomenon was organic than it is to believe this was all organized.

In the immortal words of Todd Beamer â€¦ â€œLetâ€™s Roll!â€

		<description>I must admit that this website has been educatonal for me. I thought gays were all liberal. But I should have known that was wrong. Good luck and G*d help us all.</description>

		<description>Thats&#039; asking too much from our liberal &#039;friends&#039;

Note how bob&#039;s been reduced to snarky comments (and paraphrasing my quote about him) because he doesn&#039;t have a leg to stand on, gillie and Levi are the same.  For people who aren&#039;t worrying they sure are whistling in the dark a lot.

Scottland, I don&#039;t include you in the above.  You and I may not agree, but you do provide conversation and food for thought.  Please don&#039;t change that. :-)</description>
