The left continues its uncivil assault on the Tea Party calling them “terrorists”. Why? Because the Tea Party, has the audacity to advocate reduced federal government spending and is willing to use its small position in Congress to hold out.
Democrat Representative Mike Doyle said: “We have negotiated with terrorists. This small group of terrorists have made it impossible to spend any money.” Joe Biden agreed saying: “They have acted like terrorists.”
And in a NY times opinion piece yesterday entitled: "The Tea Party's War On America:" said: “You know what they say: Never negotiate with terrorists. It only encourages them. These last few months, much of the country has watched in horror as the Tea Party Republicans have waged jihad on the American people. Their intransigent demands for deep spending cuts, coupled with their almost gleeful willingness to destroy one of America’s most invaluable assets, its full faith and credit, were incredibly irresponsible. But they didn’t care. Their goal, they believed, was worth blowing up the country for, if that’s what it took. For now, the Tea Party Republicans can put aside their suicide vests. But rest assured: They’ll have them on again soon enough. After all, they’ve gotten so much encouragement.”
The Socialist left does not care about a fair and open debate. They “know” what is best for this country and if you and I will simply accept their math, their accounting, their projections and their promises, they will surely tone down their language to a more civil level.

It is the Tea Party that understands math and basic accounting. The government deficit and debt can never be closed by shrinking expenditures alone. Revenues must come into the picture, but they absolutely refuse to put revenues on the table. This means that they are the ones who are not willing to compromise.
ReplyDeleteYes, the Tea Party are terrorist. What makes them terrorists is that they were willing to destroy both themselves and innocent people both in and outside the U.S. in order to get their way.
There is no Constitutional connection between the raising of the debt ceiling and the budget process. They decided to arbitrarily link these two things just so that they could advance an agenda that would never have survived the legislative process to which it should have been subjected.
I usually don't respond to anonymous. So Mr. Leftwing your uncivil descriptors are fine for the opposition - just not for you. By the way the Constitution makes no mention of a debt ceiling. The Tea Party wants to "destroy" because they want to cut spending Mr. Leftwing? This does not constitute terrorism or destruction.
