Boehner has declared war on Tea Party
Posted by stargeezer 11 years ago to Government
Yesterday, House Speaker John Boehner declared all-out war on the Tea Party.
In an angry rant he railed against “outside groups” like Tea Party Patriots saying “they’re using our members and they’re using the American people for their own goals.”
The last time we checked, we are the American people. The Tea Party is made up of patriotic Americans – like you – from all across this country and the last hope for reining in this out-of-control government and protecting our Constitution. We are the last hope that our nation has as the country slips into a self absorbed fit of adolescent like, hormone fed tantrum leading to self destruction.
The one voice calling for any moderation and calling for a return to the values and to the laws that this nation was founded on.
Things like standing on the exact reading of the Bill of Rights, forcing judges to render judgments based on existing law, not legislating from the bench. They were never given the power to write law, only to enforce the laws as they are. The executive branch is empowered to insure the nation is properly managed, to be the Commander in Chief, and to manage and implement the passed legislation from congress - not to be a king.
Congress hold the pure strings is a old saying and a true one. The houses job includes making and passing a budget. The senate is suppose to act on the budget, not ignore them - Harry Reid! The senate is suppose to pass on the presidents appointments to judges benches "after careful examination" - not rubber stamp each after determining that they were "liberal" enough.
Most importantly Mr. Boehner, YOU were sent there to represent us. If that job is too hard for you or you just want to do your own thing, perhaps "we the people" need to visit with you.

1) The things they get done... I don't want done.
2) it's always the conservatives who have to compromise. The Democrats get what they want, the establishment Republicans get what they want, but conservatives never get what they want... by "compromising".
" In any compromise between food and poison, it is only death that can win. In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit. "
" The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it."

Speaker Boehners outburst against the Tea party and any other group he might have been referring to is an outrage and should be cause on its own to recall him as speaker of the House. Not to mention his ineffective job performance along the way.

Then there is the incredible expense of being a force in politics. The Tea Party started in a kitchen as some friends gathered for a dinner, then moved to the living room the next week with more friends, then on to a nearby church the next week. It never was intended to field candidates as so many third party groups try to. One of the reasons they usually fail is that they can't raise the money needed in order to be effective. It's not always because they are screwballs.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see it, but The Tea Party is an idea, a concept. That if the powers that be don't wake up and see what we regular folks KNOW, that America is in trouble, that we are tired of being dismissed because "big brother knows better" that we do how to run our lives. That we are tired of laws and regulations being passed onto us by condescending "rulers" guiding and protecting us.
There will be another "Tea Party"
If President Obama is only an empty suit, what is John Boehner, a necktie... a cufflink...?
I had a picture I drew up back when Boehner was crying after the election...
I'd taken a still from "Snow White" and Photoshopped Boehner into it, and captioned it, "Weepy the 8th Dwarf"... but now I can't find it :(

I've suspected for awhile that Brit stepped down so that he could take a more editorial and rhetorical part.
The same spin from the Left was heard just before the 2010 'massacre'
That is the fallacy people have been laboring under for decades.
Neither Bush I nor Bush II were conservative; they were Republican progressives.
Hard to do, if not impossible, with the Fourth Estate vowed to prevent this.
I am surprised that we still have a party, once the 'Free' press took sides against that....
Not me. The Tea Party only seems to be loyal to the top 1% of corporeality. Either that or they are really dumb and they are being exploited by the 1%.
What from the 1% doesn't it support?
IF you had ever read Atlas Shrugged, you would understand what happened there. Detroit is a not so shinning example of where BO wants to take the rest of the country. Unbridled liberalism, working people all taxed as much as they can stand and still eat - that money "redistributed" to "the needy" (with them getting their take first) with workers promised more in pensions than they "earned" working. Where the biggest and fastest growing industry was government. And the second fastest was the union the really ran the town the "United Auto Workers" - the union that destroyed the industry that built that once great city.
Oh yeah, Liberalism and Dems are great for america. You can keep both.
"Billionaire David Koch Finances the Tea Party"
From: http://wakeupfromyourslumber.com/blog/an...
"For example, in a recent investigative report in the New Yorker magazine, Jane Mayer details the links between billionaire industrialists David and Charles Koch and the tea party movement. She writes:
"By giving money to 'educate,' fund, and organize Tea Party protesters, they have helped turn their private agenda into a mass movement. Bruce Bartlett, a conservative economist and a historian, who once worked at the National Center for Policy Analysis, a Dallas-based think tank that the Kochs fund, said,..."

Or is your real problem a bad case of Class warfare??? Perhaps READING Atlas Shrugged instead of using it for TP would help you.
Strictly two dimensional thinkers. What flows their way is all fair, but money going to the other side is evil and hate money. Unfairly taking advantage of them.
Get over it. This next election is so very lost for the left and the person to thank for it is sitting in the White House.
