Of all the nutty conservative fantasies/fever dreams out there, the UN invasion is the one that makes the least sense to me. Do these people just not know what the UN is?

Short answer? No, they don't. They think the rest of the world is out to get them, and the UN is the rest of the world's military force. Therefore, the UN is who will come for their guns 'n freedom. I've seen multiple people on TPC who honestly believe and fear a New World Order is right around the corner. Maybe they were trolls...but I don't think so.

I hate to :godwin:, but these really are the people that would support a Fascist government. For all their talk about FREEDOM and LIBERTY, these people would love to goosestep over the skulls of the opposition.


\/ This really sickens me as it glorifies genocide and advocates for a repeat of the same thing. These are the same people that "fear" a Nazi/Muslim/Socialist style dictatorship. The level of hypocrisy is astounding, and frightening. \/

They don't fear a dictatorship at all, they fear being on the wrong side of it. As you said, they would totally support fascism. They are up in arms now because they're convinced that it is going to happen, and that they are going to be the ones under the boot instead of the ones stepping on necks.

I can't listen at work sadly, I will need to check this out at home though. Great job all.

These people are opposed to a private charity providing dog food to people in desperate times that might otherwise be forced to surrender their dog for euthanasia because they can't afford to feed it anymore. Why? Because it makes people lazy and dependent on government. Basically they are monsters, don't listen to them when they whine that they aren't opposed to charity just BIG GOVERNMENT.

They'll believe it. And even after you put a big manifesto explaining how and why you trolled them on the site they'll still believe it.

I'll be honest. I am in no way patient enough for this.

If your curiosity gets the better of you, here's the explanation:
HIV is thought to have first spread from an ape to a human, probably through poorly prepared monkey meat. Since in humans, HIV is most often transmitted sexually, the tea partiers jumped to the conclusion of gay beastiality.

They could not care less about the in-between, just that another potentially weed smoking criminal had been vanquished by a Stalwart defender of Good.

The tea party really is flipping their poo poo about aid to Egypt and the Muslim Brotherhood. I just did some quick reading up on them because I admittedly don't know much, and I cannot find a whole lot wrong with them. The most controversial thing I found is they believe that Muslim countries should have Muslim leaders...which is exactly the kinda poo poo the tea party believes about America and Christianity. But they are in favor of diplomacy and condemn terrorism. So, is there something I am missing here that I should be outraged about? Or is it just that they are Muslims and the tea party are a bunch of :freep: ?

Mostly this. Some say they advocate violence against non-Muslims, but it doesn't seem to be a systematic part of their platform, and I think most religious movements have a certain element within them that would do that, given enough time. They have advocated for some goofy taxes to be levied against Coptic Christians and Jews, but again, I think if you gave them the chance a lot of religious movements would like to tax people based on NOT being a part of their group.

Yeah, it seems that the ties between the mainstream of the organization and any violent extremists are weak at best. They are regularly denounced by actual terrorists/extremists for being moderates and participating in politics. And their logic behind the taxation even kind of, sort of makes sense. Military service is compulsory for Muslims but not for non-Muslims. Again, sounds like the kind of thing the tea party would endorse if it was America and Christianity instead of Egypt and Islam. So it IS just the tea party being the tea party, and providing aid to Egypt now is really no worse than it has been for the past several decades. Thanks!

This is such a loving lie of holocaust-revisionism that it makes me feel physically ill seeing it espoused so easily by tea party cretins.

The nazis removed the restrictions on gun laws that the Weimar Republic had in place. (For aryans, anyway.)

Also, the armed civilian resistance (such as the warsaw uprising) was sadly little more than a speedbump in the nazi rush for conquest.

Nevermind the fact that if the tea party had their way, they would be the "They" in the original text:


"First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.

Then they came for the socialists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak for me."
