Title: The glorious truth: Tea Party Movement outnumbers Obama Libs!

The name for Tea Party members hated and feared most by Barack Obama and his cohorts is `patriot’.

That’s why they hurl the names racist, bigot, bitter clinger and domestic terrorist at the Tea Party, and that’s why the Obama running dog mainstream media so desperately works to keep up the big smear.

Even in the midst of all the Obama Regime destruction, America has something to celebrate: Tea Party Patriots are keeping Obama from completing his threatened Fundamental Transformation of America.

No one elected to public office from either side has ever stepped forward to ask Obama who is he to fundamentally transform America. No one.

But from its inception, the Tea Party Movement has never stopped asking.

Freedom lovers everywhere owe the Tea Party admiration and gratitude.

It has long defied belief how far the Obama Regime would go to demonize the Grandmas and Grandpas in the Tea Party Movement.

Thanks to the Gallup Poll, we now know why.

“The percentage of Americans who expressly state that they are supporters of the Tea Party movement is currently about as large at 22 percent of the population as the 21 percent who say they are liberals, according to recent but separate Gallup polls.” (CNSNews.com, Aug. 5, 2011).

Hallelujah!

No wonder why Obama hightails it out of sight most Friday nights, including this one just before the news hit that for the first time in its noble 235-year long history, the USA had been demoted by the reputable Standard & Poor’s.

Laughable that after nearly three years of trying to edge America over the abyss that Obama and his ridiculous ring of czars and movie stars are vastly outnumbered by the “enemy”.

Not only are the Lib-Left seriously outnumbered by the Tea Party, at 41 percent of the population, self-described conservatives outnumber both Tea Party movement supporters and liberals by nearly 2-to-1.

For Obama, there’s no Hope and Change to be seen anywhere in the facts presented by Gallup.

Most laughably, it wasn’t the no-Social-Security-check scare tactics trotted out in the Debt Ceiling fiasco that drove most people into the arms of the Tea Party Movement: “In fact, the July 27 and August 2 polls showed a considerably smaller percentage of Americans saying they were Tea Party supporters than previous Gallup polls conducted over three-and-four-day periods.

“For example, a Gallup survey conducted April 20-23 of this year, found that 30 percent of Americans described themselves as Tea Party supporters. Similarly, a Gallup poll conducted Jan. 14-16 this year also found that 30% of Americans described themselves as Tea Party supporters.

“In previous Gallup polling, Tea Party support hit a low of 26 percent in a series of polls conducted in October 2010—immediately before the midterm congressional elections—and peaked at 36 percent on Nov. 4-7, 2010—immediately after the midterm congressional elections.”

Interestingly, in polling conducted through the first half of 2011, and published Aug. 1, Gallup discovered that 21 percent of Americans described themselves as liberals. That is the same percentage that described themselves as liberals in Gallup surveys in 2010 and 2009.

Even with all the unelected czars at his command; even with the mainstream media in his tank; even with all the money and all the propaganda in his bag of tricks, the Liberals are not growing under the Marxist in Chief, but remain at a breathtaking standstill.

For all of his arrogance, for all of his omnipotence, Obama’s big plans for the Transformation of America have hit the brick wall of something admired worldwide: the undying passion of American patriotism.

Little David’s everywhere are shouting to Goliath: “Bring it on, Baby!”

No wonder Obama, boss ladies Michelle and Valerie Jarrett are holed up at Camp David after dancing barefoot with tinseltown celebrities in the White House Rose Garden this weekend!

Make an argument against the points in the article, instead of using strawmen, attacking the messenger ad hominems, or directing your comments towards the me personally.

Have you been an internet forum denizen for so long that you've forgotten how to have a polite and adult discussion?

Here's an example of how to start out...

"I disagree with this article because..."

Let me get this straight, you seek polite, adult discussion by posting articles that contain stuff like:

Even with all the unelected czars at his command; even with the mainstream media in his tank; even with all the money and all the propaganda in his bag of tricks, the Liberals are not growing under the Marxist in Chief, but remain at a breathtaking standstill.

Either you're pulling my leg, are in deep denial, or are just plain dishonest and hope your fellow travelers won't notice. (That's an "ad hominem", son)

That's why making a distinction between the author of the article and the poster of the article is so important. Tell me why you disagree with the article. I challenge you to JUST ONCE, direct your comments toward the article and what's stated in the article, and not toward me personally.

I guess I assumed your intent was to discredit the site, therefor discrediting the article posted from the site which then would discredit the Gallup polls listed in the article.

Hey libs:

Please step forward and explain what Obama's Plan was/is to "fundamentally transform America."

Moreover, please tell us in your respective opinion: HOW IS THE MISSION GOING SO FAR??

I would actually love to find a site that simply brings us the news. Can you point me to a site that does that? One rarely finds a pure news article anymore. 'News' sites have become news with views anymore. You either get spin from the globalist left or from warhawk neoconservatives.

I could post articles from the mainstream sites, but then I'd be getting spin from the left.

I'll try to find more balanced news, but it's a tall order.

(WTP) This sort of "reasoning" is fallacious, because attacking a distorted version of a position (or an entirely different issue completely) fails to constitute an attack on the actual position.

(LM) You do a pretty good job of describing the article you posted.

See my tagline below. Your sabotaging of America by adhering to a failed mythology on govt/private sector relations is entertaining.

With the economy still in the dumper -- maybe permanently? -- and full-time jobs becoming as scarce as rain during a drought, huge percentages of Americans have had their (misplaced) faith in the American dream shaken, the upper-middle-class consumerist lifestyle is exposed as a mirage for anybody who plays by the rules. Capitalism and the America that embraced it as a way of life is now and forever more a failure. It does me good to know that the generation that voted in Reagan and his ideology will see their America die from that ideology before their very own eyes and knowing they had a hand in its destruction.

But you don't want to talk about any statements made in the article, or any political beliefs, stances or views, or even the Gallup polls stated in the article, you just want more endless, childish, forum oneupmanship.

Evidently Thunderbird has you pegged to a T. Can't you see it's an opinion piece and based on one poll, which is the author's perogative. But it means she doesn't care if she's wrong or not as long as she can make her point.

Yes, I can see that it's an opinion piece and based on one poll. That's why I posted it in 'Opinions/Editorials'.

For the record, I believe that polls are BS. They are designed to shape opinion, rather than report it. So I don't believe this poll anymore than I'll believe the next that's posted.

However, I believe the message of this poll, that more Americans consider themselves conservative/TEA Party types than those that are far left, is essentially true.

The fickle nature of human beings, the loaded questions designed to elicit the response desired and the skewed interpretation of polls make them no more than propaganda.

But see, you would never know that was my view, unless we actually discuss the article, like adults.

The posted article IS propaganda,

All political 'news' is propaganda today. This article, though definitely more bombastic than most, is otherwise no different. The Murdoch doctrine of 'news with views' has completely taken over.

Propaganda is a form of communication that is aimed at influencing the attitude of a community toward some cause or position so as to benefit oneself.

As opposed to impartially providing information, propaganda, in its most basic sense, presents information primarily to influence an audience. Propaganda is often biased, with facts selectively presented (thus possibly lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or uses loaded messages to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. The desired result is a change of the attitude toward the subject in the target audience to further a political, or other type of agenda. Propaganda can be used as a form of political warfare.

Yes, I can see that it's an opinion piece and based on one poll. That's why I posted it in 'Opinions/Editorials'.

For the record, I believe that polls are BS. They are designed to shape opinion, rather than report it. So I don't believe this poll anymore than I'll believe the next that's posted.

However, I believe the message of this poll, that more Americans consider themselves conservative/TEA Party types than those that are far left, is essentially true.

The fickle nature of human beings, the loaded questions designed to elicit the response desired and the skewed interpretation of polls make them no more than propaganda.

But see, you would never know that was my view, unless we actually discuss the article, like adults.

You need to stop obsessing over this poorly written opinion piece that offers up nothing for debate.

So you admit it's propaganda.

Uh....yea.

I disagree with your overly broad attempt to justify it though, and BTW the article is hardly 'bombastic'.

Why am I not shocked?

I'm sure not shocked at your attempts to justify your actions.

I'm not obsessing over anything. I'm simply trying to get some adult discussion of articles started.

It appears I may have to look to someone else though.

I don't care. I don't care about your feelings or your opinion of me or if you woke up on the wrong side of the bed since you were born.

Get back to me if you ever want to discuss an article.

It's already been discussed, but then YOU made this thread all about YOU.
