Headed to Bern-a-palooza tonight.

He's totally against big soda. I know that for sure. Not a guy I'd consider reasonable.

Nobody needs as much soda as you used to be able to get in New York City.

Or trans fats- he hates those too. I'm not sure how he feels about trans fats using different restrooms though. Maybe we will get clarity on that during his campaign.

I'm angry at everything about BLM. They were created on a foundation of lies, they harrass anybody who dares oppose them, and have a constant message of "fuck white people and their privilege."

It is a racist "organization" in the same mold as the tea party - just on opposite sides of the political spectrum.

I'm perfectly fine with calling out police, but throwing the racist card around without evidence to back up your claims is irresponsible. Is there racism? Of course. Are police racist? Some of them, I'm sure.

These spoiled fucks in BLM have no idea how great black people have it now. Ask the older people in this forum what it was like for black people in the 60s and 70s. There is so much more opportunity for black people now. Now they whine about the Oscars and the notion that all lives matter.

I respected Bernie when he said All Lives Matter in the face of screaming protesters. I really did. Then, after he was embarrassed by those two black women on stage and started talking about BLM like they were old friends told me all I need to know about the man. Whether he's bought by wall street or not, he is owned by whatever gets him votes. He is no different from Hillary, who will not stfu about winning for women and the wage gap.

I'm just disappointed that Liberalism has become so pussified.

I'm 100% for equal rights for everybody regardless of skin color, sex, orientation, religion, and political affiliation. That said, I will call out anybody who makes it less equal and BLM is one of those people. They've made themselves victims and are teaching the current generation that they are also victims and civilization hates them. This is doing nothing but holding black kids back. And it makes me angry. Sorry if that offends anyone here.

I would agree with all of his except for the part about the tea party being racist. I just don't see any evidence of it - any real evidence that is. Sure the media wants to portray them as racists because they stand for everything the left hates but what is the real evidence to support that accusation? There have been black key note speakers as tea party events, and there was an instance where someone holding up an overtly racist sign at an event turned out to be a leftist agitator trying to smear the movement. I'm not a tea party person but based on my understanding, it's not what everyone seems to think it is.

To me they are small government, anti-establishment, anti-special interests, anti-crony capitalists. Liberty and equality (of opportunity, not necessarily outcome) for all. That's neither radical nor racist. It seems like people think the tea party is a bunch of evangelical angry old white men. That doesn't really hold up to any real scrutiny. Maybe I'm wrong - I don't know that much about it but when I see the media trying so hard to make something look extreme, dangerous and racist like Cliven Bundy is the poster child representing them and what they stand for, I'm inclined to doubt it and what I've seen doesn't match the description. By the way, isn't it kind of funny when you realize the only angry, old white man in the race is the most radical extreme leftist?

we both know snappy one liners are your MO, when facts don't support your "America, particularly conservative Americans are racist" nonsense.

And this is where the problem lies. Have you ever been to a tea party rally? Have you actually listened to tea party rhetoric? I have. The people who make up the tea party are either self hating minorities (much like the white people in BLM are self hating white people) or struggle very hard to not say racist things. And that's just the actual members of the party. Supporters who go to Tea Party events are insanely racist. Not all. Of course not all. But a lot of them are.

I'm not really in the mood to do the research for you, but I will say that I respect moderate republicans like Jeb Bush, Rubio, Lindsey Graham, and even Chris Christie. I don't give a damn for their politics, but I can respect that they haven't jumped on the Tea Party submarine.

This country needs the Republicans to take back their party from the Tea Baggers and Democrats need to take back our party from BLM and the far lefties. No good will come from having the two main parties so far apart on the political scales. Republicans are necessary to this country. They provide balance.

I have never been to a tea party rally, have you? Give me some examples of racist tea party rhetoric. Saying you're not in the mood to do the research for me is a lazy cop out - it can't be that hard to find some examples of racist rhetoric from the tea party. As I've said, I've done enough research to see that virtually every accusation of racism in the tea party has turned out to be not true and that the media's characterization of the movement is inaccurate. it's just smear politics to vilify the opposition. If you have proof, show it. I don't consider myself a tea party person - I'm an independent conservative who is sick of politics as usual but I'm cautious enough when I hear people being smeared by fear mongerers, to do my own homework and not trust the narrative everyone is buying in to.

And I completely disagree with your assessment of the state of the political landscape. Jeb Bush and Lindsay Graham are establishment, crony capitalist Republicans in the same vein as Mitch McConnell and John Boehner and if they take back the party as you suggest, it will just be more of the same special interests running the country at the expense of powerless taxpayers. And the people who vote for that are suckers and sheep.

The problem with racist signs a tea party rallies is that there were false flag efforts made to paint them as racist. Probably the tiny minority of cases, but who knows?

I actually did go to several rallies very early in the movement when there was no big money, and no higher level organization involved.

Herman Cain ran the rallies as MC and first speaker. There was no sign of racism that I saw, but full disclosure - the accusations of racism came quite a bit after the ones I went to.

At one of the rallies, there was a meet and greet (in a close by separate building) with dozens of conservative candidates running for office. Each one had a booth and you could walk up and ask any question you liked. At the time it was very helpful, as I was new to Georgia, and didn't know anyone.

Anyway, if you were looking for some first hand experience, there it is.

Did you get a ticket for not possessing a fire arm?

My understanding is that it's an infraction to leave your home without one in Kennesaw County.

That is not enforced - just a thing they can say. Although, they do have a pretty low violent crime rate. :*)

Were the Tea Party folks Kennesaw County residents? And were they walkin' around tooled up?

LOL, what?

how could meeting Republitard candidates be helpful in any way? Did you need some flat tax ideas? Weren't sure if the locals considered Obama a Communist Islamo-Fascist Socialist, or merely an Islamo-Fascist? Needed helpful tips on which immigrant community it was cool to scapegoat for every ill known to man???

LOL ROLFLMAO!!

No on both accounts. It was in Roswell as I recall.

Your stupid and ridiculous stereotypes are showing again.

I truly scapegoat progressive elitist libtards like you for most ills. Didn't need the Tea Party for that. Just need to read 1 or 2 of your posts, and its as plain as the nose on your face.

So...BLM and their supporters.

A pussy white guy seemingly a slave of Ruby Rhod from the Fifth Element movie...

This video will make you cringe, maybe laugh, and definitely give you all small dose of why I hate BLM and their supporters. Guilt infested white people who bow down to black people because they're ashamed.

Thumb is right: seriously dude you DO seem to have some bizarre fixation with BLM. Every protest movement is going to generate some freaks, fringe elements and hangers-on. you seem to want to make this relatively minor group the symbol of all that's wrong with the Democratic party. over the last 6 months the 99% of the times I've heard anyone even mention them was you in your posts on this message board.

Some freaks? Every single protest I've seen has those elements. Black men shouting to kill the cops and their children. Black men shouting at white people, telling them that theyre going to be raped and enslaved as reparations for slavery. Edit: Let's not forget that Library incident where students who didn't participate in the BLM chant were humiliated and one girl was surrounded and called a "filthy white bitch."

And I wouldn't call it a minor group when idiots like Hillary and Bernie do everything they can to be on their side.

I don't get why Liberals are so scared of talking about these mother fuckers but have no cares in the world about crucifying those Bundy ranch people in Oregon. Yeah, I don't like those rednecks either but when you compare them to what BLM has done in the last two years, they look like kittens even with the event yesterday.

And that fat fuck, Michael Moore was just on my TV saying that Flint is a RACE crime. Wtf? Was the water intentionally poisoned to attack black people or was it a crime of neglect that affects every single person in Flint? I'm so sick of this race baiting bullshit that the new liberals like you try to pull. Republicans hate Obama? Oh! He's black! That's racism! They think he's a socialist? Racism! They don't think Michelle is beautiful? Racism!
