"Can you honestly say without having a smile on your face that the Republicans during the recent deficit debate and threatening to shut down the government was not a threat promoted my Senator Paul and his fellow Senators. Joe, I give you more credit than that!!!" Yes Paul. I was referring to threats of physical violence. Here is my entire post: Maxine Waters tells the tea party to go straight to Hell. Andre Carson say they want to see African/Americans hanging from trees. Mr. Hoffa says lets take out these sons of bitches. Now Paul alludes to people physically attacking a radio entertainer. They are really getting desperate. Is there no end to what these democrats will use to get their way? I haven't seen any threats from the tea party on any of the people on the left. All they want is constitutional government with fiscal responsibility. _______________________ Voting not to increase a debt limit does not equate to threats of violence to me. I view their actions on this to be no different than those of Obama and Biden when they voted the same way with Bush in the Whitehouse. Exercising the right to vote the way you feel doesn't constitute a threat to me. Sorry but I see their actions a democracy in action. Feel free to provide an example of the tea party advocating violence.

..that the Republicans during the recent deficit debate and threatening to shut down the government Please supply a link to a story or article where the Republicans threatened to shut down the government. This is ONLY a fabrication that resides in the paranoid minds of liberals. Joe asks: Feel free to provide an example of the tea party advocating violence. You will be answering Joe, will you not?

Can you honestly say without having a smile on your face that the Republicans during the recent deficit debate and threatening to shut down the government was not a threat promoted my Senator Paul and his fellow Senators. What is your problem with holding elected senators and representatives accountable? Don't you realize that it took decades of a constantly increasing drain on the country to reach the horrendous financial state of affairs we're in and that this must be reversed? Haven't you noticed that European countries are in such a state as to have to face reality and make actual cuts in government spending while the our politicians only cut the growth rate and lie through their teeth that it's a spending cut? The Tea Party is the first real movement in the evolution of this country to demand the financial accountability of elected officials. And democrats' respond how to that? These respondents are despicable in their reaction. They're like cornered cats and act just the same - their turf is threatened. Their status quo has been so comfy that they can't imagine any other kind of reality. There is such an inertia toward financial collapse that the "threat" to shut down the government can be considered mild compared to the results if things aren't turned around. And these democrats have the gall to say it's about "racism." Moronically absurd. Get used to it. All of our livelihoods depend on challenging these vermin and doing whatever is legally, morally and ethically necessary to get results. The ballot box comes first and November 2010 was just the first act. Here's an example that I use with people to describe just how dangerous the federal government's debt is. The average wage/salary in this country is around $47,000. After all paycheck deductions, take-home pay is around $30,000. With the government borrowing approximately $41 for every $100 spent, it's comparable to the guy taking home $30,000 borrowing $12,000 every year and paying off none of it. At what point is collapse reached? It should also be noted that if you taxed the "rich" 100%, we'd still have a deficit. So, it is clearly a spending problem. CF Rebel
