Now with our system, of course it is a majority rules democracy.--Bunz


Its sad because this is supposed to be a republic where the rights of minorities are respected and not trampled over. We're not quite a democracy either, although to a great extent is mob rule as seen by the outrage over AIG bonuses but no outrage over much larger Fannie/Freddie bonuses. Opposition to the bailouts was 300:1, it still passed. More than 70% of the country want our borders protected and our laws enforced, instead the Washington elite decide they know better and say its unamerican to enforce our laws or stop people from illegally crossing the border.


[W]hen there were protests against the various Bush proposals, like millions of marchers opposed to the Iraq war, they were considered UnAmerican, and against the troops, but that is otherwise besides the point.--Bunz


Code pink and other anti-warriors were calling for the deaths of our soldiers, they cheered on the jihadists and encouraged soldiers to revolt and kill their commanders... but that's not considered as being "against the troops" in your book.


Bush haters took to the streets hanging effigies of GW Bush (imagine the outrage had a teabagger done that with an Obama effigy), burning american flags and none of it was done on principle but rather a personal hatred for Bush. Those few who were protesting on principle relating to overspending, overreaching government, unsustainable debts and deficits were with the teabaggers now, just as they had protested with the Bush haters then.


And as for the term Teabaggers.... We're the teabaggers, people who oppose us are the teabaggees. For our next teabag rally, we should make our slogan, "Open wide, its our turn to dip!"
