		<description>This is what I say to the Obama backer. What the government is doing is unconstitutional. We should deal with the health care and buissness situations ourselves. This is basically giving credit to those who don&#039;t work for the production of this nation and taking credit from those who do and say that it is a solution. Thus we only increase the crisis and give the government more power over us.

  I agree with the system the founding fathers set up and not with this program. Do you think our founding fathers would participate in this coffee party? To give these responsibilities to the government is a lack of responsibility. If you don&#039;t agree with the Constitution, emigrate from America. The perpouse of government is to protect us from criminals and invaders and to support our rights. God bless America and long live the republic!</description>

		<description>44 - Unfortunately everything is racist if you don&#039;t believe sitting on your duff&#039;s and letting the socialist/ communist movement over take the formerally greatest nation on earth. Everyone with brains always knew there would come a day when we had more people sucking the old sow than we had grain to feed her. Obama is not the problem with this country. The brain dead who believed his lies are the propblem with this country. The survivors of this crisis will turn in such a way against socialism voters will throw out all the communist leaning congress and senate and the other offices will be purged of all this corruption and crap. Probably no one living will ever live  long enought to see this great nation as organized and strong at it once was. Hopefully the nation will survive and rebuild once again. You can&#039;t fix stupid we just have to wait out its demise!</description>

		<description>The Coffee Party is a transparent attempt by &quot;progressives&quot; to try to marginalize the Tea Party movement. At first the Left (including the MSM) tried to ignore it. When that didn&#039;t work, they tried to ridicule it with coarse &quot;teabagger&quot; jokes. When that didn&#039;t work they tried (and are still trying) to paint it as racist. Playing the race card is always the last desperate attempt of the &quot;progressives&quot; to attack an enemy. Since that is also not working, they are trying desperately to manufacture a competing movement to try and peel away support from the Tea Party.

The desperation of the progressives as they see their once-in-a-lifetime chance to ram their collectivist tyranny down the throats of the American people fade away is actually quite entertaining to watch.</description>

		<description>The so-called &quot;grassroots&quot; Coffee Party Movement, isn&#039;t so &quot;grassroots&quot;.

The coffee party is partnered with democracyinaction, a 501(c)(3) organization, (meaning contributions to the latter are tax-deductible) whose motto is &quot;wiring the progressive movement&quot; for &quot;social justice&quot;.

Democracyinaction gets its funding from the Open Society Institute (funded by GEORGE SOROS!). Democracyinaction is also linked to wiredforchange whose clients include the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and the DEMOCRATIC Congressional Campaign Committee.

http://salsalabs.com/democracyinaction

And, here is Annabel, herself, urging Coffee Partiers to go to this website .........

http://swampbubbles.com/person/annabel-park


The bottom line is that Annabel Park is a seasoned political activist who got frustrated with the fact that the Tea Parties were getting their message heard, and the liberals who support Obama were not.  

So, she co-opted the Tea Party&#039;s format and told everyone that the intention is to promote &quot;civility in discourse&quot;.   The fact is, her intention was to amass enough people to get attention in order to promote Obama and his agenda, and get him reelected.  She didn&#039;t care about civility when she was trashing the Tea Parties, though, and she originally said that her intention was to render the Tea Party obsolete. 

If people want the same things Annabel Park wants, that&#039;s great - but, everyone who doesn&#039;t want to promote and support Obama and his reelection should know that they&#039;re being used.</description>

		<description>WTF: America, love it or leave it! Tea baggers leave! Yes to the Coffee Party!

I good reading of history would show that the anti-Tea Party folks were run out of this country or shot the first go around. For all you Coffee partiers, Canada still accepts traitors to the cause of Freedom and Liberty.</description>

		<description>Ed, Thank you for your intelligent perspectives and the reasoned way you have addressed irrational and nasty attacks.  I would think that YOU would be the kind of participant that the coffee party purports to welcome into their ranks.

  Unfortunately, from the comments I have read, the CP appears to be attracting some people who are not interested in CPs stated objectives of constructive dialog with people of differing opinions and concerns,  but who are more bent on demonizing anyone who feels we are on the wrong path as a country, and who disagree with the Obama agenda, reckless spending, a bloated federal government full of pork,  entitlement programs, corruption and bribes.

CP can only be a shining light if it stays objective enough to hold true to its mission, and that requires respect, civil discourse and tolerance for ALL opinions.</description>

		<description>&quot;conservative/Tea Party members are just racists&quot;

No one I have ever encountered in my life is more racist than Obama&#039;s Spiritual Adviser, Rev. Wright.

Obama came from the fever swamps of black supremacy...but let&#039;s not talk about it.</description>

		<description>Post #7-Please, at least know a little history.  The Boston Tea Party
Coffee came to America with the tastes of the British. In the middle 1700s, tea and coffee were equally favored and many taverns doubled as coffee houses. This all changed as a result of the famous Boston Tea Party of 1773. No tea was actually consumed at this &quot;tea party&quot; but a large shipment of tea was dumped into Boston harbor to protest the British tax on tea, proclaiming &quot;no taxation without representation&quot;. Thereafter it was unpatriotic to drink tea. Colonists soon found that they could import coffee grown in Central and South America and by the beginning of the 1900s, America was consuming 1/2 of all coffee produced in the world.</description>

		<description>Another attempt to form a pressure group because the stagnant two-party &quot;dumbocracy&quot; is unresponsive to the average person. However, like the Tea Party and other elements within both parties it misses the mark. The problem isn&#039;t the lack of cooperation or the level of empty obstruction. The problem is the system that encourages that behavior and that is the stagnant two-party system. The problem is the lack of openly competitive, pluralistic democracy. Only in that environment can voices have equal opportunities to compete on the basis of ideas as opposed to empty rhetoric about &quot;cooperation&quot; and &quot;less government&quot;. Only in that environment will investing in politicians and their chances of winning be such a risky business as to make special interests think twice before wasting their money.

By the way, HILARIOUS up there in the second post, whether you agree or disagree with Obama, your comment still shows you as a racist.</description>

You are most certainly NOT part of any silent majority, and if saying things like &quot;home ownership and health care are human rights&quot; doesn&#039;t show your ignorance to our country&#039;s Constitution, your statements about annointing a &quot;president for life&quot; and banning guns certainly does. I suggest you read it a few times before your ignorance does any more damage.</description>

		<description>RUcerious -- post #21

If you did serve, I thank you for that service, even if you feel that I am unworthy of your defense.  I can assure you that we -- those in the tea party movement -- are pawns of no one; we don&#039;t take marching orders from anyone but our own conscience.  To think that we are beholden to Bush just proves how little you really understand the cause. As far as patriotism goes, I refer you to Stanley&#039;s post #15 above.  &quot;America, love it or leave it, tea-baggers leave!&quot; is the equivalent of &quot;sit down and shut up!&quot;. Now, isn&#039;t that patriotic?  Who&#039;s got the lack of respect for the Constitution in this discussion? I suggest you read it once or twice before you start deciding who gets to stay in &quot;your&quot; country.  By the way, anyone I&#039;ve ever met who has served this country in the armed forces had the honor and courage to use their own name when they make a statement about their convictions.</description>

		<description>JoseO, with your infinite wisdom, please tell us how health care and home ownership are human rights. Gun ownership is a right, it is in the Constitution. The other two are only socialist fantasies.</description>

		<description>It is about time that we, the silent majority spoke out against the right wing tea party facists.

We support President Obama. Healthcare and home ownership are not privilages; they are both human rights. 

Viva Obama, may he become President for Life.</description>

		<description>PBC Resident, I commend you for being so honest about your vote and your feelings now. 

I did not vote for Obama. The old adage &quot;If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is&quot; kept coming to mind.

I&#039;m a middle of the road Republican, but leaning towards changing to Independent.

I don&#039;t care who can do the job - Democrat, Republican or Independent; he/she/it can be green, blue, pink or a combination of the above.

Greed got the best of Bush and Obama&#039;s power trip is getting the best of him. We&#039;re screwed!

Is it really too  much to ask for a presidential candidate that we don&#039;t have to fear (whether it&#039;s his greed, corruption, inexperience)?</description>

		<description>Checked out their website. They mention the government is our friend and democracy, blah, blah, blah. Look at what Obama has pushed through. The people were against the bailouts. Obama forced it. The people are against mandatory health insurance. Obama is forcing it even though it&#039;s unconstitutional. 

Just come out and proclaim you are a propaganda site for Obama lovers. What cr@p....</description>

		<description>Mr. Fulop,

I served, and my friends died so you could make your self serving, devise comments on the blog.  I wore my uniform with pride, and I do not need to affirm my patriotism by calling myself a patriot, wearing a flag pin, carrying a flag,or deriding others that disagree with my beliefs.  I find your brand of fascism particularly galling, as you are the pawns of a disgraced Texas politician and you have the unmitigated gall to tell red blooded american&#039;s that we&#039;re not as patriotic as you are.  You are here by the grace, and blood, of my brothers and your arrogant spew of mean spirited bile is only possible because of the commitment we made to our country. Crawl back into your hole, your brand of patriotism is a disgrace to every American that served his country, and died for the constitution you have no respect for.</description>

		<description>Oh yes, there agenda is cooperation. As long as you are not a tea party member, right winger, oppose mandatory health insurance, don&#039;t agree with Obama or think&#039;s the peoples rights are superior to the governments. 

For the record I voted against the last administartion by voting for Obama. He has turned out to be just another liar. He will never get my vote again.</description>

		<description>Where was are these tea party members when Bush was ruining our country? It&#039;s because of Bush we had a recession and many Americans have lost their jobs. It&#039;s because of Bush the banks got richer as he was preparing to leave office. When Bush went into office, we had a balanced budget. Now we have no budget and a bunch of ignorant people tired of government. Remeber, Bush lied in order to get into Iraq and Cheney, him and their constituents got rich off of lies. Go Coffee Party.</description>
