OUT OF CONTROL GOVERNMENT SPENDING
From each according to his ability, to each according to his need
From each according to his ability, to each according to his need (or needs) is a slogan popularized by Karl Marx in his 1875 Critique of the Gotha Program.[1] The phrase summarizes the principles that, under a communist system, every person should contribute to society to the best of his ability and consume from society in proportion to his needs, regardless of how much he has contributed. In the Marxist view, such an arrangement will be made possible by the abundance of goods and services that a developed communist society will produce; the idea is that there will be enough to satisfy everyone's needs.

"Let's be very honest about what this is about. This is not about bashing Democrats. It's not about taxes. They have no idea what the Boston Tea party was about. They don't know their history at all. It's about hating a black man in the White House," she said on MSNBC's "The Countdown" with Keith Olbermann Thursday evening. "This is racism straight up and is nothing but a bunch of teabagging rednecks. There is no way around that."
Olbermann did not once try to challenge her on those assertions.
and people wonder why NBC/GE stock is down 35% this year
Apr 17, 2009 ... ‘s first-quarter profit fell 35 percent, less than analysts estimated, ... the companys finance, health-care and NBC Universal units. ... GE rose 44 cents, or 3.7 percent, $12.27 yesterday in New York Stock Exchange ...

The tea parties, ubermorons, was organized by billionaires, came out of the camp of the Texas Sucsessionist Ron Paul, and was propagated as a publicity stunt by the neocon wing nut Dick Armey, through the propanda arm of the billionaire run and operated faux noise.
This is the ideas that the Repugs have for fixing the giant pile of horse crap they left after destroying the economy and starting a war with a religion. Goebbles would have creamed his pants to see the breath and scope of what the party of white supremacy has accomplished by allowing an Austrailian Billionaire and his tabloid employees who would be fired in a heartbeat for actually reporting not spinning and lying.....have accomplished.
You wing nuts are all traitors and lying hypocrites, your just too stupid to realize it. Same camp as the nazi brown shirts, waving and lauighing as the trainloads of jews drove by to the death camps. Bunch of fat white cowards, sucking up to the billionaires that control your every thought.

The tea party was about the government spending too much money without having read what they are spending it on, and on the horrible taxes we are going to be paying.
I don't understand the promises of money to the G20 and to the countries on this trip.
Can the president do this without congress approving the expenditures?
I can't remember Bush not having to go before congress to get what money he wanted?-

well, its pretty obvious to those of us NOT in denial that there are some serious racial undertones at play here.
I mean, if its not just a bunch of sore losers sour graping over being sore losers, then what were these tea parties REALLY about?
taxation without representation? nope. we're being represented by the guy and the party we all democratically elected into office. he still has our approval. the vast majority still supports him. so, you are being represented.
taxes in general? nope. cause taxes are only set to rise for the highest 1% of wage earners in america. and that tax hike will amount to a marginal 3% hike, which will leave these people paying a tax rate that is still below where it was during reagan.
overspending? nope. cause Bush waaaaay overspent and NONE of this anger was apparent. none. Bush didn't even put his wars on the books. that's how much Bush spent that wnet unaccounted for. so, the arguement that these tea paties are about overspedning simply doens't fly, especially after the last eight years that were accompanied by massive, complicit, obedient silence from the right.
so just what is all this stupidity about? what's the real reasoning behind these parties?
ain't taxes. ain't overspending. and you're running out of excuses.
and the vast majority of america is still watiing for a relevant explanation....

Are we the only country in the world that elects a black man to president, governor, senator, congressman, mayor etc etc and still have affirmative action on the books. So how about the black people that attended the Tea party? Are they racist too?-

--And cons still don't understand why blacks avoid the GOP
"Are we the only country in the world that elects a black man to president, governor, senator, congressman, mayor etc etc and still have affirmative action on the books."
--Well, it's not like you exploited them, enslaved them, treated them like farm animals, built our country largely on their backs and then proceeded to harass them for a few hundred years. Also, one of the reasons cons have such a reputation for being blatant racists is that we never hear you people bitching that it's unfair to give reparations or "affirmative action" to victims of Nazi Germany. Why are cons always fighting for the rights of the ultra-wealthy? How do you look yourselves in the mirror without vomiting? ;-0

It actually does, slate. Cons had the most vile, racist, and hateful posters I've seen since their vile, racist, and hateful posters from last year's Presidential campaign and the idea that you people would lie and claim that black people were a significant part of this disgusting freak show of a FAUX grassroots movement is outrageous. If cons hadn't devoted most of the past decade or so trying to smear and destroy groups like ACORN, it's conceivable that you might have even been able to dupe or pay a few black people to showi up so your teabagger parties didn't look like the KKK meetings they appeared to be. But noooooo...Cons have done everything conceivable to alienate black people and other minorities. So you're now reduced to lying (again) that the "movement" involves Americans across the political spectrum. As if no one realizes most black people wouldn't go anywhere near a con sponsored event. When will cons realize that when you routinely lie, people realize that they can't trust a word that comes out of your mouths?

We on the right knew that we’d be called racists anytime we voiced opposition to what Obama does and it’s come to fruition, no surprise it’s the left’s MO.
Reply
We feared that Obama would cow tow to the Middle East and not use the evil phrase war on terror, and hey as long as they go after ‘terrorists’ that is fine.
BUT we really didn’t think that voicing our ‘dissent; of this administration as they ‘dissented’ against the prior administration would have us end up on a HS list of terrorist and become an ‘enemy’ of the State for doing what is written in the Constitution that this country is based on.
Liberal Dissent = Patriotism
Conservative Dissent = enemy of the state.

I think they've stepped in a big ol' cowpie (redneck term) when they insinuated veterans were on the terrorist watch list. That will come back to bite them, hard, one of these days.

It's OK to profile veterans and anyone who values their rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. One of my colleagues did the math on the numbers from their official report, and determined that 3.5% of terrorists fit this particular profile. But it's politically incorrect to profile the majority of potential terrorists.
Reply
This also was a contributing factor in not following up on early warnings about the perpetrators of 9/11. We couldn't look closely because it would be profiling.

hardly anyone showed up. and I guess the right failed to realize how stupid the tax arguement was and their total lack of credibility when it came to issues like overspending.
so of course most of america thinks there's a racial tone to this. why wouldn't we? without a legit explanation, what should we think?
all we're left with is an occam's razor scenario.

My fellow Americans I have the perfect solution for all the unrest in this country at present. We have Liberals that support Obama and now many Liberals that do not support Obama. We have Conservatives that support Obama and now more Conservatives that do not support Obama. Well! here is the solution. The people that support the policies of Obama like hire taxes, I say raise their taxes so they can be happy.
Reply
They just love hire taxes. Those who want to support the made up Obama Green problem which cost more money let them have their way and allow them to support these new off the wall projects. Those who support All of Obama money spending projects with the tax payers money let them volunteer to be the tax payers who foot the bill. On the other hand let those that do not support the Obama tax spending go back to the old system of getting a tax reduction like we got last year. Those
intelligent people that don't support the crazy idea of global warming or the Obama Green deals do not have to get involved. Let this group just save their money for things like sending their children to college, of course they have to learn about the wonders of communism, but at least they will get a better education. Also, spend their money for new cars, use this money to pay their bills, morgages, utilities, etc. All those individuals that steadfastly believe in Obamas new way will be allowed to foot the bills. Oh! yah, I know you will say that Obama has already proposed a tax break. It is for him, but for us it is just a tax credit, another misrepresentation, with a tax credit it will have to be paid back next year on your tax return. Better prepare now or you will be paying the
government next year instead of collecting a refund. So, simply said. Obama supporters do the supporting and non Obama supporters go back to receiving government over-payments as in the past. Now everyone should be happy. How about you Hyperbola? Oh! I forgot you live on the beach off of everyone else. You don't have to worry. Since you are not even in or from this country.

Patricia: I would like to add a few comments to the bizarre accusations being said about the Tea Part Participants. First off, do any of the people reading or posting comments realize it is one of our constitutional rights to protest against ideas in which we do not agree with. This was a completely non-violent protest by people of all nationalities, stating there fears of Big Government, our move towards Socialism or Fasism, Muti-TRILLON dollar spending campaigns that we don't have to spend and people are afraid it will financially cripple their children and grandchildfen, Even Bankrupting our Nation, Lose of our basic rights guaranteed by the Constitution, and Bill of Rights. Admit it, The Government passed a Bill for >70Billion $$$$ without even reading it. It wasn't the first thing that went through the House and Congress without being read and it won't be the last. People at the tea Parties were also getting pretty tired of our President dogging the U.S. every time he got a chance in Europe, and now in Mexico. America should now bow to any one, without us, half of the Free Nations in the world would have been swallowed up in World War 1 and World War 2, and would be flying good old Communist Flags by now. We have freedom to speak, protest, and choose the God we will serve. Mohammed says, try to convert the Jews and Gentiles, But if you cannot convert them to Islam--KILL THEM! Iran has alresdy said it will wipe Isreal off the map, and the America. Someone needs to wake up and realize radical Islam will never change. They have hated the Jews and Christans for thousands of years, and they are not about to change just because Obama wants to Negotiate. He has made our Nation weaker in the eyes of our enemies with his words, and actions. Soneone better start remembering 911 before we are reliving it. No matter what you say Obama has Muslim roots, and it could give the wrong idea to the world. Also the Tea Party participants were complaining about his statement that American is not a Christan nation. Our nation was founded on Christianity, and if they would stop taking it out of our children's History books, they just might realize it. We are accepting of all religions, as long as they don't plan to slit our throats if we don't convert to there way of thinking. To say this Tea Party idea was racist is insane and derogitory to all the people that participated. There were people of all races, and all walks of life present. They were doing exactly what our Great Nation provies--FREEDOM. Don't be dumb enough to let us loose it. Stop using the racist card, and following totally biased news stations that only tell you one side of the story. In other words grow up, get interested in what your government is doing, and take off your blinders.

This is the reason why actors and actresses should stick to acting and not public speaking. This is an exceptionally good example. Stirring up racial hatred based on opposing opinion is very irresponsible and dangerous thing to do. Remember "free speech"?

to memestryker: You can like anyone you want and I won't hate you. Actually you make sense. Isn't it wonderful to have freedom of speech. We all listened to that actress and I still can't believe that I heard her right. I'm thinking wow, I was awake all during her rant. NO NAP!Maybe she's a coffee drinker and can't relate to a tea bag. I certainly remember the original tea party. Hell, my kids think I was there. Our teachers taught us well. She showed her ignorance and Olbermann was just eating it all up. I guess he thought his show would get terrific reviews. I read what people thought and it wasn't nice.People can call me what they want, it's only words and as I said freedom of speech is wonderful. Guard it and all our rights. Don't let anyone take them away.

Poor old ANTIBRAINWASHER, reminds me of the tin man in "Wizard of Oz". "If only he had a brain". His name betrays his illusion, namely ANTIBRAIN, forget the washer. What remaining activity in his cortex is relegated to warbling like a drunken wren about somehting he knows little about. Luckily he lives in the good old USA which gives him every right, as it does Garol whatshername, to spew and spurt and sputter. Fortunately to we get to go on to more positive activities while he and the Hollywood gimps think up more sputter.

This is not a big deal because anyone who lives outside he obamabot box, which is almost everyone at this point knows this is about spending not a black man in the white house. GWB was out of control and got this ball rolling and it needs to stop before the dollar is worthless.
