But these people would take the rights of some people to marry the person they love because it offends their beliefs. Mixed marriage has already been ruled on.

I have no doubt that many people who joined the Tea Party felt that they needed an alternative to traditional political parties. The sad thing is that whatver grass roots movement there may have been has been co-opted by people who see a way to use it to sell books and get themselves into the limelight.

Someone tried to start an alternative that wasn't as shrill - the Coffee Party. Last I heard it wasn't going anywhere - probably too mellow. You can't get good ratings without the talking heads hollering at each other.

There was once a time when governments were instituted to secure rights endowed by one's Creator.

Now, there are only government bestowed privileges, requiring license, regulation and taxes to exercise.

How sad.

If the plumber pulls up and has a 'Palin' sticker in his truck window tell him to get lost!

Stand up to these phony hypocrites. Their real purpose is to turn us into a thrid world nation where only the few at the top get any help and get every advantage and break. The rest of us are left to suffer the consequences of our bad decisions...e.g. not becoming super rich and privileged. Only then when the tea tards realize they will be just as screwed as the rest of us will they realize how badly duped they were by the 'trickle-on free-marketeer neo-con war monger' elites.

But lets not wait until then. Don't let the brainwashed 18%ers destroy this country through their zeal to put all the power and wealth in this country into the hands of the few elite corporations and super rich!

I know the dems aren't much of a better choice, but at least we can feel safe knowing they will not do near the damage to the country and our future as the tea tards will if they actually manage to gain power!

Unfortunately one of those Rights was the right to own other people. Another was to establish any monopoly you could. Not to mention the right to dump any and everything into the public atmosphere and water supplies. Neither did society any good. Some regulation is required for the public health and safety. Other regulations are needed so debtors pay back the creditors at least some of the time.

Go, America, Go!
Keep wallowing in your cesspool of hate.
That's what makes a nation great!
