What Do You Think Of The “tea Party” And “progressives” Agreeing On Getting Rid Of The Patriot Act?


This is fascinating to me.
I also read a poll on Politico today (obviously not scientific) where 56% of respondents supported repealing the Patriot Act by not reauthorizing it.http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Elections/T…
Many liberals tag the tea party movement as nativist, potentially racist, and out of step with progressive ideals. But some found themselves giving a nod of approval to tea-party-affiliated members of Congress who voted Tuesday to nix parts of the Patriot Act on grounds that they let the government intrude too much on individual privacy in the name of national security.
“House blocks renewal of Patriot Act. Some of these tea party guys aren’t insane after all,” tweeted Armon Dadgar, a resident of Kirkland, Wash.
Rep. Ron Paul of Texas and newcomer Rep. Raúl Labrador of Idaho were among eight in the Tea Party Caucus to vote against extending certain surveillance measures contained in the Patriot Act, joining with 18 other Republicans and most House Democrats to prevent their reauthorization – at least for now. Liberal Democratic lawmakers, in particular, have long derided parts of the Patriot Act as sacrificing civil liberties.

Ideas For My Birthday?


Okay so my birthday is coming up next month (Feb 23rd). I want to have a party in March, when it’s warmer, and the winter sports season has ended (most of us are athletes, and I don’t want sports to affiliate with anything).
But the problem is, I don’t know what to do…
I was thinking of having a party bus. But the problem is I made the list, and I don’t have that many boys.. it’s a list of 30 people. I was going to ask people to invite people. Not only that, but some of my friends aren’t “party people” and I don’t want them to just sit down there awkward…
What to do? Or what should I do? I really want a party bus though…

Are Liberals Ashamed Of Themselves For Blaming Every Conservative They Could Think Of When…?


the shooter was an independent Satan worshiper?
Jared Lee Loughner was a registered independent, didn’t vote in 2010 election
By Chris Cillizza
Suspected Tucson gunman Jared Lee Loughner registered as an independent voter in Arizona in the fall of 2006, according to the Pima County Registrar of Voters.
Loughner registered to vote on Sept. 29, 2006, identifying himself as an independent. Records show he voted in the 2006 and 2008 elections but is current listed as “inactive” on the state’s voter roles — meaning that he did not vote in November.
The political affiliations of Loughner, who is being charged by state and federal authorities with the shooting of Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D) as well as 19 other victims outside a Tucson grocery store on Saturday, have become the subject of a white-hot partisan debate in recent days.
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, liberals sought to paint Loughner as an anti-government, tea party conservative. Conservatives retorted that Loughner lacked anything close to a coherent political philosophy — a case strengthened by subsequent glimpses into his personal life that suggests someone struggling with mental illness.
Loughner’s decision to affiliate as an independent rather than a Republican or Democrat would seem to affirm the sense that while he targeted Giffords in the attack, it was not a decision born of a set of deeply held political beliefs that fit neatly into either party.

Why Doesn’t The Tea Party Just Say We Are Apart Of The Republican Party?


They always say that they are “America’s voice” which they sort of are if you are a Republican. They say that they are not affiliated with any party but all of their candidates are Republican. It’s okay to be apart of the Republican party I don’t understand why they just won’t claim it. I’m pretty sure there were no Tea Party Democrats elected because quite frankly there are no Tea Party Democrats or Independents.
