Reporters vs. Conservative Black Leaders at Press Conference

Smellyman

Tea party members on this board are hysterical.

I want a responsible, limited, constitutional government!!!

as long as it denies gays, Mexicans, mosque building, unlimited money for "spreading democracy", support for Israel at any cost, denies choice, etc. etc. etc.

Some of you have spent the last year and 1/2 trying to tear us down and trying to paint a picture of us that does not exist and Im sick of it. :x

I think almost every last single one of us does want "limited, responsible, constitutional government" but we can't just go by your feelings or interpretations of those words. The problem is defining those terms and agreeing on them, especially the "limited" part. There is a helluva lot of gray area in that word. The average "liberal" may have a different idea of where to draw the line than the average "conservative" but I'll bet dollars to donuts those two sides agree on many fundamental issues. As far as "responsibile", I gaurantee no one here wants the government to actually waste money or resources. Now "consitutional"...some of us maybe would like to see certain things changed or updated, and that's cool, but even if everyone in the United States was a strict "constitutionalist" there still would be myriad disagreements over that document and what it is conveying. The funny thing is there is a very key part of the constitution that deals directly with that called the Supreme Court.

I think that is why one of the posters called them "rhetorical catchphrases".

great post... :thumbup:
