For the uninitiated, the Statists primarily use lies, double standards and deceptions to advance their agenda.

In this case, “Definitions” is clearly using the Double standard of trashing conservatives for the CORRECT labeling of their belief system, while simultaneously using generalities, name calling and misdirection in it's posting.

They BELIEVE they are Entitled to use these tactics because the consider themselves to be the intellectual elite of the nation.

One only needs to closely examine their moronic use of lies, double standards and deceptions to see how idiotic their agenda really is.

What the matter? TRUTH HURT?

The majority of the ideas the left has comes from:
*Communists
*Socialists, AND
*Fascists

Keep swinging peaches, your special!



AND IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER!

Look Neal, you dont have to convince me that the fair tax is a great idea. But how do you expect it to ever pass? In order to abolish the income tax you must change the constitution. That means you have to get 2/3 of the congress and 3/4 of the state legislatures. Those numbers just arent going to happen. The northeast and the west coast take care of that.

The current system allows 50% of the people to pay NOTHING right now? Why would any of them take the chance at changing the system? They are on the mooch right now. It doesnt get any 'better' than that, because they get all the goodies and pay nothing....and these aren't people who are worried about getting wealthy someday and having to pay more.

Its a great idea Neal, but its too late.

This protest is being staged by Newt Gingrich and is not a grassroots effort. Instead it is an effort by Republicans with Fox News financial support, to try and generate some point of reorganization for the Republican party.

With all due respect, the excessive spending you referred to over the last 8 years, Democrats were right there voting on every, I mean every bit of legislation passed through. Most of the time, Chuck Shumer and Harry Reid complained that it was 'not enough'. I though you were at least unbiased enough not to play that card. Why you...you wascally wabbit!

Yeah AWK, there are some smart people on the left who should know better, but they don't. Being educated means jack in this world if you have no common sense. I know some very smart people who vote Democrat. They can't give me solid reasons, they're just convinced it's right for them. Likewise,I know their counterparts on the right. I'm fine with that. When the same folks start berating me for being conservative, I laugh at them. They hold George Bush up as an example of stupidity. Let's see, Yale, Harvard, Governor of Texas, President of the United States...last time I looked, those things don't happen accidentally. My point, you may be smart, the smartest one in the room. If you can't see past your own brilliance and understand plain old right from wrong, you're not so bright after all. Anyone can make a bad choice. We all do from time to time. Electing a guy who had never run a business, never managed anything tangible, never met face to face with a really nasty foreign leader and never had to endure real pressure might not be a good idea. But you did and we'll have to live with it. If he get's it right more than he get's it wrong, you're all geniuses. If not, hope you have thick skin. You're going to need it.

For the record, the comment was:

Consider that AWK and other Demon-fascist trolls favor Socialism, Fascism, Marxism, etc.....

Communists weren't mentioned in that comment, you Dhimicrap trolls need to read posts and UNDERSTAND them before spewing.

Nevertheless these systems all fall under the term: Statism

Defined as: The practice or doctrine of giving a centralized government control over economic planning and policy.

Nazis advocated Fascism, Nazi is a acronym for National Socialist, these are all terms for the same idiotic concept that HAS NEVER WORKED.

AWK829, honey, where the heck did you get your information???? Obama picked by the highest educated and wealthiest? did you get that on MSNBC????? that's completely not true, Obama was picked by the least educated electorate in the history of our country.

The lowest incomes - below 15,000 a year voted for him by close to 80%. the rest of the income brackets have split pretty much evenly. the same with education, less than high school diploma voted for him overwhelmingly.
you need to listen to your own advice and stop twisting the facts to get your point across.
I personally don't think that education means so much, the Obama supporters that were picked for interviews that were college grads, or in graduate schools, couldn't even name which party was in charge of Congress; they couldn't name the Speaker of the House. Education doesn't mean squat in my eyes, i know cause i have it and everything that I know in life that I actually need - I learned outside of school.
But the facts are what they are, so don't try spreading some falls stats around here.

The Left advocates Statism, a system that has FAILED each and every time it's been tried.

That should be enough to brand them idiots, but just take a look at their comments.

One could try to ask them where Statism has every worked, but they never can answer that question because IT HAS NEVER WORKED!!!!

They have to make facts up out of whole cloth and constantly Lie about their agenda.

They can't even discern the difference between the meaning of the words 'Weather' and 'Whether'

That's why I really think we will see a shift in so-called parties. Neither one is following it's original platforms and are going so far left that their own voters no longer recognize them.

Get back to the constitution.

Oh yeah and I'm a right wing extremist! We ought to all get bumper stickers that say that. I know, silly, but it was a thought....

I have several younger nieces and nephews who drank the Kool-aid and they are already regretting their naivety.

"Obama won among the brightest and most productive members of society: he won among those with advanced degrees by 58%-40%, and he won those with household incomes over $200K by 52%-46%." by AWK829

and 90% of welfare recipients

Sorry, just had to do it! Ya know, I really don't think either side can win this one.

Would just like the left to remember it was a narrow margin, not like you had a landslide victory, so quit ticking off almost half of the US! And quite a few of those who voted for the Dems are now questioning their decision.

Longbow64 references "limited brain power on the left."

I'll remind you of this:

Obama won among the brightest and most productive members of society: he won among those with advanced degrees by 58%-40%, and he won those with household incomes over $200K by 52%-46%.

Your stereotypes of those on the left of the political spectrum as stupid, lazy, jobless wealth-envying losers looking for government handouts simply are not supported by facts.

You are entitled to your opinions, but not to your own facts.

I was VERY impressed that I saw on our local CBS station, KCTV5, a report on the Kansas City branch of the Tea Party being held tomorrow at the Johnson County Community College.....hope to see all from KC area there!!!

...Because even if you had 3 MILLION people show up to your little teabagger parties, you would not muster 1% of the total US population. You are talking about "thousands"

It is not in the media's FREE MARKET CAPITALIST PROFIT-GENERATING interest to expend valuable resources to cover what considerably less than 1% of the population chooses to do with their spare time. You are an irrelevantly small fraction of society. So, like all you conservobots keep saying we should do, we just ignore unworthy minorities.

With over 12BILLION being piled up do you really think the tax percents of 36%/39% will stand? Anyone thinking ahead KNOWS that all hell is going to break out as the taxes go up and up and up. So we want them to stop the spending, just do the infrastructure, fix the border and get OUT OF OUR POCKETS!!!

Plus all the increasing infringements on our rights. I really don't expect the libs here to understand. You don't think you are due any rights to succeed or fail on your own without government interference. And the past? It's kinda like the final straw has been cast. Many of us have been complaining for years. I even gave Clinton credit for his welfare reform reducing the number of people on welfare and a decrease in unwed mothers in section 8 housing. Seems that trend is reversing.

Bet I just ticked off some libs with that one and you'll be posting how stupid I am and where is my proof and you'll post some links to prove me wrong. Go ahead. We'll have our protests, educated voters and KICK your fanny starting in 2010.

Have a nice day.

Not only will they minimize the tax protesters, they will give the ACORN "counter-protesters" the bulk of the coverage even though their numbers will be minute in comparison.

They will be trying to get in your face and cause trouble so just be the better protester and ignore them.

The leftists do not understand that we are NOT ONLY fed up with Democratic "leadership"...but Republican "leadership" as well.

As a registered Republican, it saddens me that we have no one in our party to rally around. No one who really shares the same contempt for the way our governemnt is over-reaching.

It is my opinion that Michael Steele is an idiot, and certainly not someone to rally around...

I don't know what to do, but I will go to a Tea Party tomorrow. I doubt the the Republicans will listen...anymore than the Democrats, but it is worth a shot.

The media will be able to poo-hoo the "fringe conservative activists" tea parties consisting of only a few tens of thousands of citizens, but watch them make a big deal about the dozens of brave, Acorn organized [http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/04/14/tea-party-protestors-gird-possible-backlash/] citizens rallying in support of President Obama's budget.

How come in all of this you never see any mention of how much income the govt of the united states generated? The govt pulls much more in that this so called income tax brings. Why is that never reported? Why are we paying any taxes at all at this point? The us govt collects a lot of money on various fees, services, and its own investments. So why do we never hear of that number? The fair tax is crap and there is no need for it all. It will also never happen based on how money is created in this system. This fair tax will never allow them to cover what they steal so it won't happen ever guys.

It's obvious you're a blithering idiot to believe the 95% tax cuts for Americans. That's because you're too busy planting your lips on Obama's hindside.

As long as the politicians can keep the conversation focused on how much each of us are paying in taxes they can keep the class warfare going. If there were greater focus on what those taxes are SPENT on then there would be a tea party every week.

Besides, only about 50% of taxes are even visible to consumers. The rest are embedded in the products and services we buy every day.

Hugo, I am part of the 95% and don't really consider an extra $10 in my paycheck a 'tax cut'. Especially when only the withholding schedules are being changed, not the tax rates. Wake up, buddy!
95% of Americans will have a MAJOR tax increase when your beloved cap and trade goes into effect. Heating your home will cost $1,000 per month!

It is easier to build a coalition if you leave Christianity out of it. There are a large number of non-theists who support the Constitution and the principles of smaller government.

If you honestly believe that this is a country founded on Christianity, you obviously are not doing enough reading of individuals who disagree with your premise.

Of course the coverage will describe it as a fringe of fanatical grudge-bearing right-wingers... because that's what it is!

If these protests were REALLY about excessive government spending, they would have been happening for the past eight years. And they didn't. Gee, I wonder why...?

Enjoy your sore-loser tea and crumpets. I hear they go great with sour grapes.

I find it funny that the Homeland Security guidance on right wing extremists was released the day before the Tea Parties will occur. Looks like a great way to minimize the effect of the protests by labeling every attendee as a right wing extremist.

Unfortunatly the main stream media won't cover it, the politicans will ignore it, liberals will belittle it,and the majority of ignorant,appathetic americans will never hear of it or care about it. Armed revolution is possibly the only way left to prevent the total destruction of America. Nancy Pelosi knows this which is why she's pushing the gun regestration bill again(which WILL led to confiscation). She knows that the only thing that could theaten their power is armed citizens fed up with them. Don't waste your money on teabags, buy ammo instead cause ALTHOUGH TEA PARTY MAY NOT BE TELEVISED YOU CAN BET THE REVOLUTION WILL BE! By the way,I'm not a right-wing-wacko-gun nut preaching armed rebellion, I'm just a student of history who learns from it and I'm just calling it as I see it.

I've never seen anything about FairTax on digg, why not? A story like "Why do we pay an income tax?" could easily get on the front page if the readers here "dugg" it.

All of us will be called RACISTS!

First, if almost 50% of Americans get everything they paid in taxes back every spring (and maybe a little extra) then giving them more isn't a tax cut ... it's a handout. Second, I don't care how much a person makes, or how much they pay in taxes, the fact is that the government, the Lobbyists, the PACs, and everyone else in the bloated beauacracy that makes life more difficult than it has to be depends on opur tax dollars. And by switching to the Fairtax we ("THE PEOPLE") can take back some of the power and control. And that is worth any amount of struggle.

"Let's see-the stimulus package included a TAX CUT for 95% of americans."

That is very interesting, since according to the IRS (NOT Rush/Hannity/Boortz), the top 50% of Americans earning income are paying 96.70% of the taxes[1]. How can you give a tax cut to someone not paying taxes? Oh yeah...only if by "tax cut" you mean "government handout"!

[1]http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-soi/04in06tr.xls

You reveal your own moral bankruptcy and utter lack of integrity when you imply that people should trade their principles for a few bucks and be more grateful to their glorious leaders for the handout. And about that 3% - it's called the death of a thousand cuts. But you're fine, you have given up on making it on your own (must be those evil rich people holding you down) so you'll just go along with government theft from our children and our children's children. You are what is wrong with our country.

i agree that there is some left wing media biased. but if you go to the left wing, they say that the media got a right wing bias. and they've have the proof.

so if they (the media) has a left wing biased on somethings, and a right wing biased on somethings else, who making the decisions?

You say "The liberal media considers these protestors to be nothing less than selfish conservatives who simply don't want to pay their "fair share" of taxes."

Let's see-the stimulus package included a TAX CUT for 95% of americans. I bet a lot of those protesters don't even realize that they are protesting a 3% tax increase for the likes of Hannity and Boortz. And the top tax rate will still be lower than it was for most most of the Reagan administration. But hey, go ahead, myrmidons-do your masters' bidding!

I'm hoping to attend my local party, if my personal concerns tomorrow don't prevent me from doing so. Still, you should see what Paul Krugman has to say about them:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/13/opinion/13krugman.html?_r=1&ref=opinion
Remember, if you don't agree with the liberals, you're crazy, angry, racist, sexist, or all of the above.

Has any group ever misread a protest more than our own MSM? They brand it as conservative lunacy, Republican sour grapes, anti-Obama mudslinging. And yet..........we protesters know differently. Sure, there are some of the aforementioned in the crowds. But this is different. Call me any of the above and I'll be offended (sorry. it seemed the best word to use). I am none of the above. I am an American. I support our founders. I support the America that we are supposed to be. I do not support our runaway government. Republican or Democrat...they are all responsible.

We are protesting the theft of our country by fickle and self-centered politicians. We are protesting the characterization of our country as non-Christian. We are protesting the suborning of our Constitution by internationalists and liberal justices. We are protesting the theft of our hard-earned money.......used to fund trillions of dollars of useless spending and quadrillions of dollars of debt.

Label us, belittle us and ignore us at your own peril. This movement is America. This movement is going to revolutionize our country once again.

Read our Manifesto. It is called the Constitution of the United States of America.

April 15th is just a beginning.

And I've said this before but it's worth repeating: Even if the politicians in Washington don't pay any attention to these activities, it's about educating and getting the attention of the voting public. When Washington wakes up after the elections in 2010, THEN they will wonder what happened?
