Tea Party rally planned in Mooresville on Wednesday

mooresville water dept. i think has started a clorox factory at the treatment plant. the water is so full of clorine that clorox would have a hard time competing with them.

Maybe someone could suggest a job fair at the event? Possibly get those three computers from the Employment Service Commission and blow the dust off those keyboards and set across the street from their little tea party?

Please come out and offer your support or criticism!

Why? I can drink tea at home? Good, high quality tea at my lakeside home!

Your country is going to heck in a handbasket and all you can joke about is drinking Tea? Somebody really is missing the Boat. Guess you drink the Kool-Aid also.

Doesn't the tea party crowd work at all? Where was the outrage of civil liberties during the Bush Administration? Patriot Act? Where was the anger? Outcry? You folks argue that it is not a right that every American should have healthcare. How American is that? How Christian is that? Your GOP politicians have been playing all of you like a violin. I'm a fiscal conservative/social liberal and you need to do your research before going out to these protests.

I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

This is America, not Europe...

Liberals/socialist/markist/ attack everything you want to, we the american people are going to kick your butt at the polls in November and take our country back!!!!!!!!!!

Once again, I do not understand where you are coming from? Taking back America from what? You are paying lower taxes and the dow is over 10,000. This is about a 4000 + swing form the same time last year. Obama just delivered a nuclear treaty which was started by Reagan. Another thing, can you define the differences between socialist and a markist? What do you mean that this is America not Europe? Please define your points because you will find that the right wing of the party is arguing pure nonsense.

Enjoying his tea at his overpriced lake home.

Tea Party, real Americans. God Bless them!!!

I can...

Pure Marxism had three main characteristics. First of all, there was to be no government, no central controlling body allocating resources. If something needed doing then some person or group of people would just do it for the good of all. Second there was to be no private ownership of anything. All things were to be held in common. If you needed something you would just take it.("From each according to his abilities; to each according to his need.") Finally, there would be no religion. Religion was created by the rich and the powerful to keep the lower classes down by pacifying them with the promise of a better existence in the fictional next life if they accepted their lot in this life.("Religion is the opiate of the masses.")

Marxism appeals to an innate sense of fairness in people. Nobody has more than anyone else. Everyone works for the good of everyone else. The problem was that Marx could not describe a mechanism by which we get to his utopian society beyond the masses violently overthrowing their oppressors nor did he really understand human nature.

Various attempts to get to this Marxist ideal have been made over the decades. These usually start with the creation of a socialist government. People aren't psychologically ready to live Marxism, so they need a government to take everything away from them and train them to work for the good of all. This is socialism in its purest form. The government owns everything and directs the allocation of all resources. Since the people own nothing they theoretically should learn to do everything for the good of the whole. Eventually, when the people have been properly trained, the government is disbanded and the Marxist utopia is achieved.

The problem is that human nature gets in the way. The people in power grow to like having the power. So, they start do things to ensure that they stay in power.("Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.") Additionally, there is a very broad lazy streak that runs through much of humanity. People only do as much work as they have to in order to survive. If the government is going to take from Joe and give it to me, then why should I work for a living. Joe then sees his industry going to support me, a lazy bum who doesn't contribute anything myself, and thinks why should I bother. This mentality means that the people never reach a state where the government, even if it were inclined to do so, can step aside. So, the corruption just continues to fester.

So, this then is the difference between the three social organizations. Marxism and communism were initially the same thing. However as people tried to institute them, Marxism became the ideal that can never be achieved and communism came to be synonymous with the failed, corrupt, transitional, utrasocialist governments. Socialism is any form of government that takes control of various industries away from the private sector. All governments have some elements of socialism in the mix because there are just some things that the private sector cannot do. The debate is over just how much the government should do.

LOL, Officer Barbrady, I can't believe you would say something like that. I thought you were a true American!

The tyranny of elitists is that they truly believe they are the betters of the "common" people and have an obligation to humanity to force them into their "better" way.

No where in the Constitution does God grant the Right to remove His God-given rights, to the Government or any individual or group of individuals.

Those Rights are inherent on each person and endowed by The Creator.

When a government or party decides it may remove rights from the People, that government loses its authority to exist.

The vote is a powerful tool to rectify abuse of power, however even the Founders realized that violent action would be needed against government to curb its excesses.

In all of history, there has only been two governments formed where the rulers have given up power for the absolute good of the nation they governed.

Jesus and George Washington.

Those who wish to make their own kingdoms, do so with the same tactics used by Sal Alinsky and Lucifer.
