I think the only way we'll ever see a Tea Party here is if someone rents the Lobby in the Empress.

Ain't never gonna happen.

According to Beck on Saturday he was hoping that America was of God, not the other way around.

Which echoes Abraham Lincoln who said that he did not presume that God was on the side of the Union, he much preferred that the Union be on the side of God.

We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.

-Abraham Lincoln

Explain please how the Mormon televangelist ("progressives are a disease") managed to miss these two salient bolded points whilst standing right in front of the memorial dedicated to the man who first spoke them.

The 'better angels of our nature' are appallingly few and far between amongst the right-wing element of your countrymen these days, fella.

You're talking about Lincoln. Listen to the interviews sometimes, these ppl can barely express WTF they want. "Going back. God. America going communist".
Years into this Tea Party bullshit and I have absolutely no idea what the basic concepts are to make it a movement, I might as well ask drunk teenagers.
The spokesperson that are literate all pronounce some retrogressive, bigoted, or fundamental Christian gibberish.

It's kind of hard to take any 'movement' seriously too when, anytime they're interviewed, they're all sitting around in lawn chairs set up on the well-manicured grass of a PUBLICALLY-FUNDED park. And most of them appear to be well-fed. Extremely well-fed.

Hey, What's the difference between them and simple patriots?

TEA = Taxed Enough Already

It's roots are base of the Boston Tea Party, to protest unjust taxation.

Time for it in Canada too.

[PostFactum]

Thanks, I'll make one in Ukraine tomorrow)))

Oooo...tea party freaks......

Nothing that a little pest control wouldn't take care of.....

My, how open minded and tolerant of you.

Hu, I'm trying to remember when I claimed to be either open minded or tolerant...

I don't get it, why doesn't the guy that is trying to start this movement just join the Canadian Taxpayers Coalition?

They don't care what party you belong to, if you're wasting tax dollars they are out to crucify you.

The way they interchange God and America, I'm quite sure most of them God is American. AS for Beck, I can see him having something in common with Moses calling on Yahweh to plague the Earth, but Jesus Christ doesn't exactly leap to mind when I hear him speak.

Fixed that for you.

It's rather amusing that you would try to school me on Christianity.

Why? Everyday you try and school us on Islam. Turns out an actual practitioner, aka DesertDude paints a different story. Why is Thanos (who seems to be speaking about A.L. anyway) wrong and you are right?

He's on a bit of a rabid streak Bart. We've seen it all before.

[DerbyX]

We certainly have and who the rabids are is very POVish.
