"Tea Party forum?

Naaa. Just a few folks that actually believe our Constitution means something..."

In my experience it's more like "Just a few folks who beleive The Constitution means what we think it means, not what's actually in it." The Tea Party folks I've talked to have ideas for changing this country that would not only destroy our infrastructure and leave many impoverished and homeless, but also trample on the Constitution and the rights currently afforded to all our citizens.


Hi Cheezo01
First off I don't know a single person who "Belongs" to the Tea Party. I don't belong to the Tea Party. I am a Conservative and an independent.

It seems to me even our Supreme Court has a little trouble figuring out what our Constitution has to say.
Since you have chosen to call me out personally would you enlighten us on what you think our Constitution says about the powers of our Government.
I think I have a pretty good grasp of it since I have read the Bill Of Rights pretty carefully and am familiar with Article 1 section 8 of the Constitution.
Is there something I missed?
I'd like to know what these ideas of destroying our infrastructure are. I certainly don't agree with that.
Or Trampling on the "rights" of our citizens. What "rights" would those be?
As far as leaving the impoverished homeless goes I would certainly not agree with that. I do however believe people should work for what they get. If you want the Government to provide for you, you should not be sitting in free government housing eating free government food unless you are doing something to earn it.
Perhaps putting those people to work maintaining our infrastructure?

If we want to go back to a "founding fathers" argument...they as puritans were fleeing religious persecution in Anglican England and


I am not sure where this idea came from. If you are speaking of the "Founding Fathers" who wrote the Constitution and declaration of independence they were not Puritans. They were Catholic, Lutheran, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Quakers, Unitarians, and A few other religions I can't think of.
