Behind Their Patriotic Disguise The Tea Party Behaves Like The American Taliban

www.politicususa.com/patriotic-disguise-tea-party-behaves-american-taliban.html
"No other group in America openly threatens violent insurrection against the legally elected government of the United States, passes nullifications laws, supports theocracy, and no patriot calls for assassinating elected representatives for their votes. Republicans are just as culpable for not tamping down threats and calls for revolution or civil war, and openly advocating for armed revolution if President Obama won re-election.” There is a reason teabag leaders advocate for armed resistance against the federal government and it is because they know their followers are bound to take them seriously and begin an uprising to overthrow the government evident in gun zealots stockpiling weapons and ammunition to defend themselves against government tyranny they never claimed during the Bush Administration, and it exposes their real anti-American bent is racial animus. Teabaggers were content with millions of jobs lost, a decimated economy, and unnecessary wars so long as a white man was president, but they became uber-patriots fighting tyranny when an African American was elected President."

PERRspectives: Happy President's Day Abe, from the Party of Lincoln

PERRspectives: Happy President's Day Abe, from the Party of Lincoln
"But within the Party of Lincoln are many who are not so enamored with the GOP's namesake. One hundred and forty eight years after the end of the Civil War, the whitewashing of slavery, the resurrection of the "Lost Cause," the championing of states' rights and the casual endorsement of nullification and secession are among the modern Republican Party's tributes to Abraham Lincoln."

Hannity Concern Trolls and Invites Secession

Hannity Concern Trolls and Invites Secession
"Facts matter. Here are a few to counteract your nonsense.
  1. Republican states receive more federal funding than Democratic states. That includes those Hannity touts in this particular rant, like Louisiana and South Carolina.
  2. Make a million, keep half. That's half a million in your pocket, dude. Hannity goes on and on about how places like California and New York are so "overtaxed" that people are just going to rebel and...you know. He ignores the fact that wages are higher in these states, and high-earning individuals live in them. Here's a dirty little secret: If you earn a million dollars and pay 50 percent in taxes, you still have half a million in your pocket. That would be different than the person who earns $25,000 and might pay no federal or state income tax, but does pay sales tax and spends every single penny of that net income to live. They have zero in their pockets. Who comes out ahead?"

Dear Secessionists, Go For It, Please | Common Dreams
"Interestingly, it turns out most red states aremoochers and welfare queens who take more than they give in federal funds. We wish them godspeed, and good luck with their budgets."
