That pretty much sums up the progressive movement to me. This is what progressives like Obama want for our country.

Makes me look forward even more to a rally to restore sanity!
Which will hopefully be a slap up the side of the head for those who support extremes. A sort of "wake up! this is what you're doing to our country - dividing and dumbing it down "

You'll never hear about if such a rally happens. No $ in covering that for the media. Polarization means profits for the 'news' organizations.

At least the "socialists" posters are proffessional made and the spelling is correct! Good for them!

You have a very vivid, yet predictable, imagination. :wave:

That's been going around lately. ;-)

I am just curious, is NAFTA and all of this kind of stuff just as bad as being a Progressive and we have to look at who has supported that ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT stuff.

It is happening, Oct 30, and you will hear about it, it will be televised.

So you're really going to attack education? Is that next on the right wing hit list?

Another photo you'll never see from a tea party rally in DC:

The dueling "who had a bigger crowd" meme is kind of silly. (But since you brought it up.)

Glenn Beck Restoring Honor Rally Crowd Pictures | Clermont Tea Party

I think what's more important is the content - what do these folks stand for, what are they demanding.

I'd prefer we ask that question after filtering out the extremists of both groups (obama haters vs. socialist and communists).

Tea Party rallys have to do generally with limiting government's control over our lives, cleaning up washington, and decreased federal and state level debt. I think that's a positive message that appeals to a lot of folks.

What message are the progressives promoting?

If you can show me the tea party plan to achieve this, you'll be the first.

The people at both of these rallies weren't promoting specific plans, they were promoting agendas.

You avoided my question though, what agenda are the progressives promoting at their rally? From the reports I've read, it basically boiled down to a "get out the vote" rally for incumbent democrats.

These are same incumbent democrats who for the last four years have increased our debt, bailed out the corporations, increased government's intrusion into our lives, and increased government spending.

I guess I just don't get where these people are coming from. :idontno:

What have the Democrats done in the last 4 years that is more intrusive than the Patriot Act? :idontno:

He just told you and you saw fit to totally ignore it and bring up the Patriot Act instead which hasn't cost me or any other law abiding citizen the first lost ounce of freedom.

No, he just said they had "increased government intrusion into our lives" as part of the list.

And since I cannot think of a SINGLE thing the Democrats have done that even comes close to the Patriot Act, I wanted details. :wave:

And if you think the Patriot Act has no bearing on you unless you are a criminal, you need to read it.

ObamaCare for one thing. They'll be checking up on you to make sure you comply with the mandate. (The mandate alone effects every american citizen in one sweep.) Plus of course, the federal government will begin heavily regulating the health insurance you can have and the coverage you receive.

(My company's coverage costs just went up substantially too, but that's a different issue.)

Well, I think it's stupid to not have health insurance*, so I don't find that to be so terrible.

*Mostly because basic or emergency care is $$$$$$$$$$$$

My health care costs went up before Obama care and they'll go up after Obama care.

All I have to go on is my own personal experience. ObamaCare has negatively impacted my life. The PatriotAct? I'm not a fan of that but really, it hasn't effected me at all.

(I also don't think Obama and the democrats should get a free pass because "Goerge Bush did it too." That's a lame excuse.)

Is it Obamacare or the, apparently far left concept, that denial of care based on a preexisting is wrong?
