We need some pics in here of some TRUE BELIEVERS profiles.

Lifted from the global wall, last week:

Comparing black people to gorillas/wookies isn't racist, nosiree.

Here we have a shitwizard posting pictures of Mohammed Atta saying "he used a box cutter, not a gun", while just a little further down the page he has a picture of Congress with the caption "YOU DON'T NEED A MANHUNT TO FIND DOMESTIC TERRORISTS"; one can form an educated guess on his true feelings.

And probably the best one of them all, the Doc Strange BANNED episode

A choice quote, from mod3 (and the inspiration for the thread title):

quote:

TPC was developed for like-minded people. We do not want people here studying or trying to have a good debate. ...

Tom was a dick. He threatened to "stomp" Richard Mann for posting a possum penis, and when Richard stood firm on his 1st amendment right to post possum penis, he was promptly banned.

He kept quoting random bible verses to one of my accounts spamming porn, so he's at least annoying as hell in my book.

That sounds like a pretty biased view of the Tea Party (shocking).

1) I'm a little undecided. We do have a second amendment, which you are free to pursue overturning at any time. We already ban (or more properly greatly restrict) the ownership of fully automatic weapons. I am fundamentally opposed to a ban on weapons based on how they look, and the so-called assault weapons ban is nothing but a ban on cosmetic features. Background checks I'm somewhat agnostic on. The number that gets thrown around for the gun-show loophole is 20 years old and is probably a fraction of that number, but no one really knows. I could support universal background checks if it doesn't require every transaction to go through a licensed gun dealer.

I am willing to discuss a ban on 30 round magazines if opponents are will to acknowledge that the frequent jamming of 30 round magazines has saved lives when mass murderers try to use them. I spent a few years in the Army, and we didn't use 30 round magazines because they jammed too often. When the government guarantees that your victims are unarmed, the size of each magazine isn't that relevant. I present an honest assessment of gun control measures http://www.cato.org/publications/commentary/reflections-gun-control-second-amendment-advocate

2) I believe we should avoid ObamaCare. It isn't designed to solve the problem. I don't know what it is designed to do, but it is not designed to lower the amount we spend on health care. I've lived in Central Europe where they had nationalized health care insurance. I would not want to live in a country with a single payer health care system. http://www.cato.org/doc-download/sites/cato.org/files/pubs/pdf/ObamaHealthCareReform-Levy.pdf

3) When has anyone suggested we invade Iran? Do you believe we should allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon? As a state-sponsor of terrorism, I will strongly argue that we should not allow them to develop a nuclear weapon. Since that isn't really a position of the tea party or anyone else, I'm not going to bother looking for anything.

4) I'm more for cutting spending. The federal government was spending 20% of GDP just a few years ago, we are now spending 25% of GDP. Our long-term average federal tax revenue averages about 18.5% of GDP. I believe we need to get spending down to 18% of GDP. http://www.cato.org/doc-download/sites/cato.org/files/pubs/pdf/workingpaper-13.pdf

I won't chime in on the rest, but this is flat wrong. Literally every. single. magazine. we use in M16s/M4s is a 30-round magazine (you can also put them in an M249 SAW, but here they will jam repeatedly, and are only good for about 3-5 6-9 bursts). There are no others for those weapons. There are 20-round mags for M-14s, but those are 7.62 rounds and those weapons are for the squad-designated marksman.

This discussion is probably almost over already, but let me just say this in defense of my trolling: I feel that if you post a political opinion on the internet, in effect a public forum, you should do so with the expectation that it be seen and challenged. Otherwise, you are doing nothing more than congratulating yourself. The Tea Party Community, however, exists for the express purpose of continually affirming people's views; its administration seems to remain confused about what to do with people who don't do this. The fringe right in the United States is well on its way to creating a parallel narrative and set of facts for the entirety of the country's discourse; as I see it, that makes the process of democratic government more and more unworkable the longer it goes on. Is this website an echo chamber? Perhaps so, in some places anyway, but it was not set up for that purpose and it is not administrated to that end. And it's possible that I will learn something from it that I didn't previously know, whereas the most the TPC will do is tell me something I've already heard a second or third time. Is this thread an echo chamber? Well yes, but only because it self-selects for people who dislike the Tea Party; that's the only position anyone here can be guaranteed to have in common, and for every other subset of topics discussed on SA, GBS, whatever, you're going to see a different set of views.

So they're the TvTropes (I mis-typed and wrote "gropes" and almost let it stay. :v:

) of the right wing. Got it.

Well, we're just going to have to coordinate our up-voting of goatse and down voting of racist memes.

Or just the opposite; upvote all the racist poo poo so that that is what ~~SPLC~~ people see when they first view the global feed*

Is there a psychological principle that's like the Dunning-Kruger effect, except referring to intellect/education rather than competence/skill? Basically people being so ignorant, they don't even understand the topic well enough to know they're missing information, and then refusing to learn more about it to lessen their ignorance.

i vote we name it "The Andy Schafly Effect" :v:

Ok so the screengrab I wanted to post is too big, and also doesn't display big enough to read on imgur. In short, we have this profile here:

https://www.teapartycommunity.com/profile-42123/

That is talking about home-made frag grenades, and assassinating elected officials (to include President Obama). He also wants to stockpile weapons. The kicker? He says he's not even 18 yet. I've included the link to the imgur screengrab for anyone that wants to download it and peruse through it for a glimpse into the dark mind of a future school shooter. This one just got sent to the FBI, who hopefully can/will pass it along to someone who will do take care of it and get this kid some professional help.

Makes me think of that hilarious website where right wing nuts rewrite portion of the Bible to remove annoying things such as taking care of the poor or Jesus encouraging pacifism.

Conservapedia, with their CONSERVATIVE BIBLE PROJECT. If it were fake, it'd be a good joke. But it's real, and run by Andy Schafly :smith:
