I think spending a few years in Europe is enough to persuade anyone that the Tea Party is definitely a good idea.

God bless America.

I smell BNP...

[itchystiches]

The BNP are pretty far detached to what the Tea Party is about. UKIP is probably about the closest in European politics, fyi.

Actually, EDL is the group I was thinking of... My mistake.

[itchystiches]

The EDL are bunch of uneducated, racist goons. The Tea Party movement is about preserving liberty and freedom and reducing the size and influence of the federal government.

I think your branding of Tea Party supporters in the same light as the EDL is analagous to the very people you wish to disassociate yourself with, see what I'm saying? It's all stereotyping...

They're still in bed with each other:

The English Defence League, a far-right grouping aimed at combating the "Islamification" of British cities, has developed strong links with the American Tea Party movement.

An Observer investigation has established that the EDL has made contact with anti-jihad groups within the Tea Party organisation and has invited a senior US rabbi and Tea Party activist to London this month. Rabbi Nachum Shifren, a regular speaker at Tea Party conventions, will speak about Sharia law and also discuss funding issues.

I'm not a teabagger, but I'm for armed revolution. This country was founded on revolution, and it's the patriotic choice.

[itchystiches]

There's a great book by Ron Paul called 'The Revolution' which pretty much epitomises my viewpoint on politics... Worth a read even if you're not a right-leaning type of guy.

I have to agree with you lxskllr, the United States is truly a great nation and I don't think enough Americans really appreciate what y'all have.

Fixed that for you ;^)

We have a different breed of people now that are willing to sign away their rights for an HD TV, and an illusion of security. On another forum I'm on, someone asked if they would allow a cop to search their car if asked. It was shocking the number of people that said they would. The biggest argument was that the cop's gonna do what he wants anyway. Many times that'll be true, but I'm not gonna hand over my rights for the asking. If someone's gonna violate my rights, they're gonna have to work for it. I refuse to just hand them over.

Edit:
BTW, it's good to see ya itchy. It's been awhile :^)

Thanks lx - good to be back.

That was a revolution against a foreign King. Armed revolution against the current government is sedition and punishable by prison.
It is not patriotic.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedition


In law, sedition is overt conduct, such as speech and organization, that is deemed by the legal authority to tend toward insurrection against the established order. Sedition often includes subversion of a constitution and incitement of discontent (or resistance) to lawful authority. Sedition may include any commotion, though not aimed at direct and open violence against the laws. Seditious words in writing are seditious libel. A seditionist is one who engages in or promotes the interests of sedition.

Typically, sedition is considered a subversive act, and the overt acts that may be prosecutable under sedition laws vary from one legal code to another. Where the history of these legal codes has been traced, there is also a record of the change in the definition of the elements constituting sedition at certain points in history. This overview has served to develop a sociological definition of sedition as well, within the study of state persecution.

The difference between sedition and treason consists primarily in the subjective ultimate object of the violation to the public peace. Sedition does not consist of levying war against a government nor of adhering to its enemies, giving enemies aid, and giving enemies comfort. Nor does it consist, in most representative democracies, of peaceful protest against a government, nor of attempting to change the government by democratic means (such as direct democracy or constitutional convention).

Sedition is the stirring up of rebellion against the government in power. Treason is the violation of allegiance to one's sovereign or state, giving aid to enemies, or levying war against one's state. Sedition is encouraging one's fellow citizens to rebel against their state, whereas treason is actually betraying one's country by aiding and abetting another state. Sedition laws somewhat equate to terrorism and public order laws.

You can twist words and use semantics all you want, but the fact remains that we were a treasonous revolutionary group. It wasn't a foreign king, it was OUR king. Patriot, freedom fighter, terrorist, mutineer, revolutionary... Are all the same person. Only history assigns the label ;^)

Yes a king. We no longer have an unelected king.

Your brainwashing is complete.

Did you vote to pay income and property taxes?
Try not paying them and see if men with guns don't come take you away and put you in a cage.
