昨天，成千上万的纳税人走向街头，自愿参加自己发起的“茶会”，抗议政府滥用职权和纳税人的税赋。他们高呼：ENOUGH IS ENOUGH！
这个活动是美国老百姓通过互联网自己发起的草根活动。活动声势较大的是在纽约，亚特兰大，芝加哥，圣安东尼，和沙可拉门托的聚会。
这个活动一开始， 是CNBC的在芝加哥的一个记者提出来的。 后来，得到普通老百姓的热烈拥护。 很多人设立了很多网站，提供聚会信息和交流。
给奥巴马提马坠凳，摇旗呐喊的主流媒体，以CNN和MSNBC 为首，把这个有着深远意义的跨党派的群众聚会，描绘成是共和党发起的反奥巴马活动。笔者对主流媒体在片面歪曲报道北京奥运火炬接力和西藏动乱时早就报以鄙视态度，对他们在美国大选中所暴露出来对奥巴马那种恶心的献媚行径更是深恶痛绝，这次决定亲身经历这场活动，拒绝被媒体误导。回家后，在网上看到CNN记者在芝加哥“茶会”活动报道奋不顾身为奥巴马现身说法的德行，只能说是又在意料之中。
只有FOXNEWS正面报道了这一活动，决定以后只看FOXNEWS了。
几点花絮：
1。这次活动，基本上没有黑墨亚，但有很多是民主党的选民，大部分是跟我一样独立的保守派。 我去的地方，还有支持奥巴马的聚会，人很少，基本上都是少数民族。
2。我没照像，不想当观众，只想投入。有些老中那种事不关己，高高挂起的精神在笔者身上永远消逝。
3。很高兴，自己作为一个少数民族的面孔出现。
4。聚会很和谐，老美很幽默，有很多小孩参加。看着他们天真的面孔，举着“别碰我的储蓄盒”，“我没钱付你们的国债”的牌子，真是令人欣慰。
5。据说除了在华盛顿的“茶会”跟支持奥巴马的民众有小冲突，在芝加哥跟CNN记者有辩论外，整个活动是平和的。至少我去的聚会，大家有说有笑。
6。很多年轻人参加，美国希望还在。
以下的照片是网上罗列来的。 希望参加昨天“茶会”的网友，分享一下你们那里的情况。

如果您不知道保守派想要得到的是什么，不知道共和党跟保守派有什么区别，请到当地书店买一本由MARK LEVIN写的《LIBERTY AND TYRANNY 自由与专制》，该书现在连续三个礼拜为《纽约时报》最畅销书排行榜第一名!

GOP congressman booed mercilessly at Tea Party rally

Just because some organizations or politicians try to ride the wave of tea parties doesn't mean these are not grass root movements. Its significance can't be dismissed by simply labeling the protestors racists and/or republicans. We'll see.
Michelle Malkin
Friday, April 17, 2009
Let's use liberal math to calculate attendance at this week's nationwide Tax Day Tea Party protests. When left-wing activists make crowd estimates, the algorithm is: six figures = one million. An incomplete survey of newspaper accounts and organizer estimates pegged the Tea Party protest population at a minimum of 250,000. We can now, therefore, officially call it the Million Taxpayer March.
Or the Million Right-Wing Extremists March if you work for the Department of Homeland Security.
To George Soros-funded grievance professionals, 250,000 is an insignificant number. But unlike recent anti-war and pro-illegal immigration rallies padded with union workers, college students and homeless people, the Tax Day Tea Party demonstrations featured small-business owners, working taxpayers and families. This wasn't a weekend or holiday, mind you. A quarter-million people took time off in the middle of the workweek to raise their voices against reckless taxing and bipartisan spending.
Multimillionaire jetsetter Nancy Pelosi scoffed that the Tax Day Tea Party movement was nothing more than "Astroturf" politics to protect the "wealthiest people" in America. Democratic Rep. Jan Schakowsky called the peaceable assemblies "despicable." Other bitter, clingy Tea Party-bashers grumbled that activists only showed up where Fox News cameras were. But tens of thousands more came out in rain, snow and cold -- in Bozeman, Mont.; Eau Claire, Wis.; Carson City, Nev.; White Plains, N.Y.; Bend, Ore.; Lansing, Mich.; Hilo, Hawaii; Nashville, Tenn.; and everywhere in between -- with no media personalities or celebrities in sight.
If only the condescending cable TV anchors at CNN and MSNBC had paused from wallowing in gutter puns about tea bags, they might have reported an even more significant phenomenon: Tea Party protesters were as vocal in their criticism of Republicans as they were of Democrats. In Salt Lake City, Utah, a crowd of 2,000 repeatedly booed GOP Sens. Orrin Hatch and Bob Bennett, who both supported the $700 billion TARP bailout, and protested GOP Gov. Jon Huntsman's decision to accept $1.6 billion in porky stimulus funds.
In Sacramento, Tea Party organizer Mark Meckler singled out California GOP Chair Ron Nehring for waffling on proposed $16 billion tax hikes. The crowd of 5,000 greeted Nehring -- who unsuccessfully tried to hitch his wagon to the Tea Party movement -- with a roar of boos and catcalls. Speaker after speaker lambasted Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for abandoning fiscal-conservative principles. The loudest chant of the day: "Throw them out."
In Madison, Wis., GOP Rep. Paul Ryan -- hyped as a conservative "rock star" -- was well received. But I heard from staunch fiscal-conservative constituents who refused to be silent about Ryan's complicity. He gave one of the most hysterical speeches in the rush to pass TARP last fall; voted for the auto bailout; and voted with the Barney Frank-Nancy Pelosi AIG bonus-bashing stampede. Milwaukee blogger Nick Schweitzer wrote: "He ought to be apologizing for his previous votes, not pretending he was being responsible the entire time, but I don't see one bit of regret for what he did previously. And I'll be damned if I'm going to let him get away with it."
Other Tea Party participants pointed out that Newt Gingrich, who jumped aboard the bandwagon, flip-flopped on TARP in the space of a week last September and made common cause with Al Gore and Nancy Pelosi in ads calling for immediate action on "climate change."
Before the grassroots Tea Party movement took them by surprise, Beltway GOP strategists argued fervently that the party's traditional focus on taxes and spending had become outdated. The re-branders pitched their own expansive ideas to replace the anti-tax-and-spend agenda and inspire new voters. These included Gingrich's "green conservatism," David Frum's proposal to raise carbon taxes, and open-borders Republicans' plans for alternative forms of amnesty.
Newsflash: Eco-zealotry and in-state tuition discounts for illegal aliens didn't bring out thousands of first-time activists on the streets. Stay-at-home moms weren't up all night making signs that read "Tax me more, please!"
What resonated on Tax Day were nonpartisan calls to roll back pork, hold the line on taxing and spending, end the endless government bailouts, and stop the congressional steamrollers that have pushed through mountains of legislation without deliberation. This is a teachable moment for GOP public relations peddlers in Washington. While they search for the Holy Grail of Re-branding in tony salons and country club conferences, the agenda for 2010 is smacking them in the face. It's the three T's, stupid: Too Many Taxes, Trillions in Debt, and Transparency.
The GOP path to reclaiming power lies with candidates who can make a credible case that they will support and defend fiscal responsibility. That means acting on fiscal-conservative principles now, not paying lip service later. The reckonable forces of the Tea Party movement didn't let opportunists escape accountability on Tax Day. The GOP shouldn't assume they'll get a pass on Election Day, either. As one of the most popular Tea Party signs read: "You can't fix stupid, but you can vote it out."
this tells it all.
跟当年反对罗斯福的人一样，只顾自己，最后自己也活不了。
富人不拿点钱出来拯救国家，等穷人都死光了，他们怎么赚钱？
博主看来是很自信，永远不会被LAYOFF，永远不会过穷日子。
说到底是一群minority 丢到了一个大选，心里忿忿不平，找个借口上街出出气而已。确实是CNBC的 Rick Santelli发起的。是谁组织的呢？FOX。 那背后的黑手是谁呢？是Murdock代表的大财团鼓动下的。没关系，当年Bush当选了，我们一群liberal也在大街上嚷嚷，Sean Hanity 怎么说我们的？ 现在我说，你们的ideology在美国已经不是主流意识了，自己慢慢嚷嚷去吧。。。
You already answered the question by your no-answer.
看照片，参与的人们大多面带笑容，很平和地表达与抗争，或者可称为绿色抗争，绿色战争。
政治家应当思考一下，有没有绿色战争？
It's liberty vs tyranny, not republican vs democrat.
意识形态，还在美国起做用。
给我感觉，钱在共和党手中，大财团多数支持共和党。
巴马新政必有阻力。
但是，共和党主政8年，自己应当反思。
一个社会要有足够的富人，但是，不去观注普通人，离危机也就不远了。政府的任务就是要不停地找支点。
No that's not my answer.
Again I see the tea parties as individuals trying to express their concerns about issues. I don't understand why you focus on their skin colors. Are you trying to label anyone who dares to critize the government as racist since the current president is not white?
So you have problems with Blacks???
Is that your answer that the majority of the people in the Tea Party are whites becaue they don't like blacks?
Well said and I agree with you.
For those who watched Susan Roesgen's CNN coverage of the tea party, here is a video of one of the tea parties recorded by an attendee and put up on YouTube. Anyone who did not attend the party but wanted to know what CNN would not report can go to this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpeScv6EPgQ. I don't think this is a partisan event and these people are not extremists. Go and watch it yourself and then compared what you have seen on CNN.

如果你不是美国公民，如果你不纳美国的税，你对我的所谓攻击一文不值。
如果你是美国公民，你不纳什么税或偷税漏税，你没有资格跟我说三说四。
如果你是美国公民，你是纳税良民，或象我一样制造工作机会，成为纳税大户，你的意见我洗耳恭听。
超过4万的点击，近两百个留言，没有一人说他/她也参见了这次活动，我只能说太遗憾了。
满脑子社会主义思想的同胞们，你们错了。美国是世界上最伟大的国家。你们来到这个美丽的国土，享受着千千万万美国人民用生命捍卫的自由和民主，扪心自问，这个国家对你来说，仅仅是你赚钱的地方吗？
请你们好好读一读美国的宪法和独立宣言，不要被左派媒体所欺骗。
楼主何时摇身一变成为“独立的保守派”了?楼主的博克现成地摆在这里，自己标榜并不能颠倒黑白。“笔者对主流媒体在片面歪曲报道北京奥运火炬接力和西藏动乱时早就报以鄙视态度”，楼主何时对奥运期间西方媒体的片面报道有过异议？现在拿这个来说事，有什么用心不是很明白吗？“决定以后只看FOXNEWS了”，就像你说的，一点也不奇怪，意料之中。只不过大概你早就只看Foxnews了，像小布什，窃泥一样，对CNN深恶痛绝，把头蒙在沙丘里。
1.奥巴马当选了并不等于所以的人都选了他,
2.也不等于"之前"所有赞同过他的人都必须认可他现在推行的"借"钱大把撒银子的"济贫""拯救"政策.
No the majority of welware recipients are blacks, not immigrants.
But the majority of tax payers who pay income tax are whites.
..."决定以后只看FOXNEWS了"
这有点可惜了吧。

By 鲁克
4月15日，报税日，在全美爆发了大规模的民众抗税，反刺激方案，反大政府，反救助，反赤字开支的抗议示威活动，届时在750多个城镇，近百万人出来向政府呛声。四月份以来，反税收的示威活动持续发烧，其组织就是当年高喊“没有代表权就不纳税”团体的美国茶党（茶会或者称为”倾茶党”）。
提到茶会，不免想起美国建国史上著名的波士顿茶会事件。早在一七七三年，美洲的殖民者英政府通过了一项《茶叶法案》，准许英东印度公司无需缴税，直接在北美销售茶叶，当满载茶叶的英国商船进入波士顿港口时，波士顿人拒绝茶叶上岸，后来一群波士顿居民在撒母耳·亚当斯﹙Samuel Adams﹚ 带领下，把船上所有茶叶都倒进水中。由于英政府对美洲移民严重课税却优待本国的商人，这样法案让美洲移民大为不满，为了争取公平正义，他们奋起反抗。三年之后，北美爆发了独立战争，而波士顿茶会事件被认为是一七七六年这场战争的导火线。
两百多年过去，茶会运动又在全美展开，同样他们反对的是不公平的大政府政策。其实，茶会抗议活动在前几周，就已经风起云涌，只不过主流媒体不屑于报道罢了。是那个号称“BE THE FIRST TO KNOW”的CNN几乎对此是“THE LAST TO KNOW”，NBC则对茶会反税运动是轻描淡写。美国主流的新闻电视台（CNN ,ABC,NBC）简直是奥巴马的御用媒体，对于这场延烧全美的草根运动，他们几乎集体缺席。不过，在网络上，茶会串联活动越来越旺，新兴的博客媒体，很早就开始为4月15日活动，进行倒计时。美国收视率最高的福克斯新闻台也为这场茶会运动进行全方位跟踪和报道。
作为奥巴马的”红卫兵”，左派的博客也展开诋毁茶会草根运动的全面反扑，他们说这是保守派或极端右派的发动的颠覆政府运动。无独有偶，政府也对所谓的右翼极端主义兴起开始关注，最近一份国土安全部的内部评估报告被解密， 其名为《Rightwing Extremism:Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment》所谓《右翼极端主义：当前政经形势加速右翼激进和重整旗鼓的势头》。可以看出这不是偶然，其目的无非就是要抹黑茶会反政府的运动，如果反对政府政策的人就被他们看成是极端分子，那么请问在布什执政下，那个天天反政府的moveon.org组织，还有戈尔，迈克摩尔，他们算不算极端分子？况且很多参与这场茶会运动的人都在去年大选投票支持过奥巴马。
民众上街主要对大政府的主要提出了几大诉求，他们不满抗议政府的救助，抗议政府假刺激方案，反对加税，要求税制改革，反对政府举债开支，反对走社会主义的大政府道路策等等。下次，我再和标尺网读者具体分享。
希望这次茶会反税运动在全美轰轰烈烈地开展。但愿4月15日是美国民众觉醒的开始，就如伟大的波士顿茶会运动，三年后，我们可以看到一个崭新的，自由属于人民的美国。
请问你这个自以为智商高又有本事的主， OBAMA的经济刺激方案与布什的方案有什么不同？ 比较民主党和共和党执政下的股市， 谁的表现更好？？？
Because majority of welfare recipents are new immigrants, do you have problems with that???
Now it's your turn to answer my question, why in the Tea Party, majority of them are whites?
Well said~ noso is a complete disgrace~
Even though you went to the gathering like this, nobody will think you are one of them.
opinions 是扣不了大帽子的.
As for your question "目前你已经掌握了什么证据来证明"政府滥用职权和纳税人的税赋", first of all that's just noso's simple summary of what the tea parties represent, and it doesn't reflect all the protestor's opinions, secondly, I suggest you do some research on the stimulus packages and the budget to see for yourself.
My point is those opinions are not 扣大帽子, nor are they 不负法律责任.
文章的开头你没看吗?
"昨天，成千上万的纳税人走向街头，自愿参加自己发起的“茶会”，抗议政府滥用职权和纳税人的税赋。"
请问:目前你已经掌握了什么证据来证明"政府滥用职权和纳税人的税赋"?
Bottom line is, people are entitled to their opinions and have right to express them in a peaceful way. Just because you disagree with their opinion doesn't mean they're 扣大帽子.
Agree. Many Chinese people naively believe that in the United States the main stream media must be fair and free unlike the media in China, yet that is far from the case. MSM in the U.S. nowadays has long evolved into a biased political machine serving special interest. Many people are now turning to alternative media for stories not covered by MSM.
文章的开头你没看吗?
"昨天，成千上万的纳税人走向街头，自愿参加自己发起的“茶会”，抗议政府滥用职权和纳税人的税赋。"
You said: "“无法无天”是指可以不负法律责任随便把“滥用职权”等大帽子扣在他人头上。"
I don't know why you think the tea parties are 随便把“滥用职权”等大帽子扣在他人头上, or why you think the actions are 不负法律责任. Actually can you explain what you mean by 不负法律责任?
Since some people think like we're still in China, may I remind people about the first amendment:
The First Amendment to the United States Constitution is the part of the United States Bill of Rights that expressly prohibits the United States Congress from making laws "respecting an establishment of religion" or that prohibit the free exercise of religion, infringe the freedom of speech, infringe the freedom of the press, limit the right to peaceably assemble, or limit the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
My understanding of "I ll keep my freedom,my gun,my money":
kee my freedom: see declaration of independence
keep my gun: you can't take away my right to bear fire arms guaranteed by second amendment
keep my money: stop wealth redistribution
“无法无天”是指可以不负法律责任随便把“滥用职权”等大帽子扣在他人头上。

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican. The Democrats started the Ku Klux Klan to lynch and terrorize blacks.
I like you! I've read some of your posts, I like how you are keeping up with the political news in United States and share the news with chinese readers here.
I think alot of chinese people in this country are misled by the main stream media. We need people like you to present "other side of the story".
Good job
靠印钞票解决经济问题，拿这代人和下一代人的将来当抵押，这就是Obama解决经济衰退的法子，顺带着再搞一堆猪肉工程。
Obama上台前号称要靠基础设施建设开开拓内需，结果呢，只占了15％左右的膨大赤字，其他大多变猪肉了。
楼上不是问小女孩的小猪银行去哪里？很清楚，从Obama嘴里吹（牛）出去了。美国政府的特点就是能花钱，不仅仅花今天的，还花明天的后天的明年后年了。
怎么让经济恢复？首先别让那群王八蛋乱花纳税人的钱！
怎么不让他们花钱？首先不给他们那么多钱！
The poor had supported Mao and finally get poorer. Only the capitalisism changed China.
The o8 policy will hurt middle and poor finally. As Mao hurt all Chinese people.
Foxe News===Republican TV, (极端宗教，极右，反少数族裔，白人至上，乡下red-neck).
有些华人，跟着共和党的后面。屁颠屁颠。请了解一下Fox News 那些人的背景。当年中美撞飞机，Bill Orielly 在节目上和一个中国学生舌战，充分显示此人对中国的无知和傲慢。CNN对中国不友好？那FOXNEWS对中国简直是仇恨。
对不起如果说话不注意有冒犯。见谅
Can you answer me why the majority of welfare recipients are non whites?
Let me make that earsier for you, in this Tea Party event, why majority of them are whites?
You said: "问题是：如果证明政府已经滥用了职权和纳税人的税赋，那么抗议是解决问题的方法吗？美国无法无天了吗？"
Are you implying that protesting is illegal? What are we still in China? Do you not know that here we the people, not the government, are the 天?
唐城,我怎么说你,SB一个
Thank goodness for BBC. At least they are professional enough when it comes to international news.
"注意: 请不要在评论中留下不友好的信息或类似侮辱性的言辞"
如果你完成了小学教育应认得上边那几个字,否则就是白痴!恕不再奉陪你的谩骂!
You silly. The riches will either cut your job to save money to pay the tax or rise the price of the stuff you want to buy to pay the tax... Think about it...
America IS the best country on earth. It has flaws, but it is the fairest and most advance in terms of its political and legal systems. You should not be forced to live here if you don't agree.
CNN is full of non-qualified empty suit/skirt journalist, who have pretty faces but empty brain. (larry king, AC, WB) just to name a few. Not to say that fox news don't have people like that, CNN/MSNBC's rating is in the toilet for a reason.
Beware of the government-media complex, CNN is equivalent to central TV of China.
为什么参加tea party 的绝大多数是白人？
大多数民众都减了税，我看共和党是黔驴技穷了，连
德州独立都浮上台面了。
you are also ignorant, how about tobacco tax, don't you know they just yank the price to the roof in NY?
laugh,laugh, laugh all you want, watching you CNN(communism news networks) makes you feel tingle on your legs. Yikes!
You are very rude, just like those hopeless far left wing liberals...
You are an idiot or just another liberal kool-aid drinker, CNN,MSNBC is going down to ditch, foxnews kick their a** everyday, don't you know that? Do your own research. Remember, WE THE PEOPLE own the country, shape the policy, nor CNN,MSNBC neither Washton politicians.
还有，对Obama税收政策有意见的只有两种人吧。一是脑子不太好使的，二是太有钱的。穷人大众谁会抗议对年收入25K以下的没个屁影响的政策。我还觉得税涨的不够呢，贫富差距本来就是美国的大问题。
again, FOXNEWS, fabrication Channel. You'll get laughed, if you believe it, mark my word.
Either way the tax money is going to spend. I'd rather have it spent on civil projects than a stupid war that killed the economy and lives.
感觉奥巴马有点象马英九，魅力不少，魄力不多。
也是个人感觉了，可能时间短摊子烂，也一时看不出来。
不过有一点比较反感的是媒体。把一国重要政治人物当做明星，而且在竞选后一直当作明星来看，没有什么意思的了。养狗种菜，又怎么样了呢。估计奥巴马一家也没有料到媒体这么饭他们家种的菜。
What fact? Show me the fact, then I'll certainly face it. :)
What kind of a proof you want, court proofs??? Face the fact, otherwise you are fooling youself.
The good news is more and more people realize the media bias. Look at the TV rating from Nielsen:
http://tvbythenumbers.com/category/ratings/top-news/cable-news
more and more people are watching Foxnews. Foxnews is beating CNN...
Agree.
The tea parties are a great example of invidual liberty, while the marchings in culture revolution were organized by government.
因为这个世界上真的有你这样的白痴不知自己在支持什么。
one thing in common:just jumping to conclusion no matter what is true.
I have an answer for you, flea is a flea, nothing more, nothing less. : )
Only those who discriminate others are afraid of being discriminated upon. I simply record what I saw and once again, I was disappointed there is NO other minority including Chinese in that gathering.
personal attack is a regular weapen for the leftwingers and liberals.
They are so different that I could not believe you had said that. For Tea party, it is just a way of letting people’s voice out. Those demonstrations in culture revolution were largely manipulated by the government, by Mao.
Right now, america become so...so "Socialist Oriented" which concerns me a little.
However, I do believe America need some type of fundamental change from what has been done over the past 20 years. I am not sure whether Obama will bring changes that will benefit the country. At least he is for the CHANGE.
Hey, you just missed my point. I didn’t blame or hail any of these parties, did I? Of course you are right on how to judge a party, I was just joking about a scenario that how KKK acts. It has nothing to do with how I judge those parties. As a matter of fact, Reps are more concerned on how to distance themselves from right-wing extremists, like Rush Limbaugh. You know why?, cause lay person like me will link them together unconsciously.
Why do you think they're stupid?
How can you jump to such a far reaching conclusion from noso's simple observation that there's no Hispanics/Blacks/Orientals in the tea party he went to? Could it be that he's simply stating a fact?
I think I share lots of mindset with you, hate communism, hate Mao, and hate labor union , which I believe the very culprit that ruins US auto industry. So we can agree the disagree for the most of part. However, there are couple of things I’d like to sort it out with you. First, being right-wing extremist could not be more far away from constructive approaches to fight against left-wing extremist. Cause they are both destructive force which can NOT be used to make things. Second, I don’t think you can be a so-called “Chinese RedNeck”, as they are mutually exclusive. Just like you can’t call something cat dog. Well, you can try, like Michael Jackson did, by bleaching his skin, but see how that worked out. Third, since my first post was largely drowned, I ‘d like to resurrect it again. I think you have a very disgusting inclination of being a racist. When you emphasized in your post that there were NO “black, Mexican and Asian” in the Tea party? What are you underlying? They are not good enough people to be there? They are not qualified to join the party? What are you? You are defined not only by the bunch of bones wrapped with chunk of flesh, you are your culture, your gene and your social relationship. The fact you have been here on this forum already reveals that you are one of us, even you hate us and you think you are better than us.
Great point indeed. thanks for sharing.
Bush started socialist bail-out, Obama has carried it on and expaneded to the extreme that this country we know will soon be gone.
Are you suggesting that since kkk is all white and republican party has more white than democratic party so kkk will more likely support republican?
If so, can we also suggest that gays and lesbians are more likely to support democratic party since there're more gays and lesbians in that party?
But those are just baseless assumptions. I think it's better not to judge major political parties simply by their supporters because both are supported by a broad spectrum of people.
What matters is what the parties stand for.
nbc, cnn是支持民主党的
并不意味着fox就是公平报道的
如果换成共和党成执政党，fox说不定也会做cnn这档子事了
所以fox cnn取中间就知道事情真相了
哈哈，真有本事的说的少做的多。
比 较 而 言 ，像 什 么 巴 黎 伦 敦 柏 林 还 有 东 南 欧 相 对 不 安 全 我 也 知 道 。
欧 洲 不 安 全 ，难 道 还 美 国 ，中 国 ，非 洲 安 全 ？
还 有 欧 洲 人 民 是 绝 对 不 会 同 意 枪 支 开 禁 的 ，你 的 假 设 毫 无 现 实 意 义 。
Sounds like you are very knowledgeable. Very good!
Why not tell us your understanding about Tea Party, and also about tax and how much tax that you are willing to pay and how much tax you are willing to let Others to spend...?
If you think that Fox News is brainwashing people, fantastic! Please give us a few opposite but convincing examples.
Hi, I trust your knowledge, don't let me dwon, hahaha....
I don’t think anyone has proof for that one. Well, that is not the point. Cause fake proof can be staged and true proof can be wiped out., like right wing Japanese still deny NanJing Massacre and new Nazi deny The Holocaust. This is all about how you judge and how you feel. Hypothetically if KKK gets to choose which party to support between Rep and Dem, go figure yourself, it does not take a political degree to work that out. LOL.
欧洲很安全？ 欧洲马上就成阿拉伯地区了，还“很安全“？要是欧洲象美国一样不禁枪，欧洲某些只怕要革命乐。
欧 洲 必 将 再 次 成 为 世 界 中 心 ，中 国 如 果 继 续 现 在 的 体 制 还 是 奴 才 命 。
What's your proof that kkk always supports republican party?
有名的八卦台一个，臭得让人哭笑不得，当然还是笑它的多， FOX经常添油加醋，说话水平不亚于，望博主重新考虑，为时不晚。
Up till now, no media nor Washington cares about the opposit voice. They are in bed with each other to socialize this great country.
Like Newsweek cover story: we are all socialists now.
Many people from New York Times admitted they are socialists and they did help Obama's campaign against Republican as whole.
Many Chinese scholars here feel the same way because they hate Bush so much yet they enjoy the freedom of this country served by sons and daughters they call red necks.
I am sorry you don't think the way I do, but that's also the reason I am here for: to give you a different point of view. Whethear you agree or not, I have my freedom of speech.
goodbye~
非奥粉飘过。。。。。。。
爱谁谁，你大爷的！
再说两句吧（友好地）。美国总统是民选产生的，是当之无愧的政治领袖，理所当然有其权威。你参加了这一过程，无论你当初投票给谁，就应该接受并尊重这一事实。我想这是民主政治的要点吧。你现在当然可以上街抗议税收政策，不过您也没有权利指责别人没人领导就活不下去。这也是我说您不懂政治的原因。
奥巴马作为总统，有权按照他的想法办事。你提到的否决法案，限制国会，应该是他依法被授予之权利。只要他在法律权限之内办事就没什么可说的。他历史上很善于调和不同派别，但是谁也不能强求他就一定得继续作一个团结式的总统。手段是为目的服务的，政治从来就是这样。而且我也没看出这和您上街游行之间有什么关系？
奥巴马应该有他施政的空间和时间。如果他不行，下次您把他选下去不就得了。您积极参与社会生活是好事，中国人在海外确实可以再积极点。不过也不要把没和您一起喝茶的人贬得毫无是处。这世界上没傻人。
大家交流一下而已，就此别过。
respond:fine.now it better than the "opposite way".
simple: get rid of the labor union, keep the workers who want to work, not to retire on the job.
http://spectator.org/blog/2009/04/16/flashback-in-2006-cnns-roesgen
Excerpts below:
Rarely is there as transparent an example of liberal media bias as the tantrum thrown by CNN's Susan Roesgen yesterday while "reporting" on a tea party, but the full extent of her bias only comes into light when you look back at her attitude toward anti-Bush protesters.
In video posted by Paul Chesser from yesterday's CNN broadcast, Roesgen harassed a man who had a sign in which Obama was portrayed as a fascist with a Hitler mustache. "Why be so hard on the President of the United States though with such an offensive message?" an indignant Roesgen hollered.
Yet back in 2006, when she was covering protests against the Bush administration's response to Katrina, she jokingly referred to this photo of a man wearing a mask with devil horns and a Hitler mustache as a Bush "look-alike." (Video available at NewsBusters).
respond:nobody talking Bush vs Obama, just hoping to be fair.
regarding to:"If you think bail-out is the way to save this country, I think opposite is right way."
respond:it is still a good question if bailout is the way.but opposite is not right way.whatever.
regarding to:"Like GM, after billions of billions bail-out taxpayers money, it is still heading toward bankrupcy.
respond: do you have any good idea?
hahaha~~ I am old enough to say no to bail-out because I have been paying my tax for a quite a long time.
You can say that to the seniors, see what happens.
I totally agree with you on 250K is not rich.
Watching Foxnews is just a personal choice.
this is not about Bush vs Obama. Bush is gone, Obama is responsible for everything he does.
If you think bail-out is the way to save this country, I think opposite is right way.
Like GM, after billions of billions bail-out taxpayers money, it is still heading toward bankrupcy.
布希临走之前不是一样在使用纳税人的钱实施疏困计划吗？
我认为BAILOUT是超乎党团利益之上的国家行为。绝非国家总统的个人行为。至于OBAMA有可能因BAILOUT计划失败而成为替罪羊，则另当别论。
Here is an article from the Market Watch about how folks making $250K feel. It is very true: Enough is Enough.

Sorry but I can't stand FOX network. Can't support you on that!
Fox news was the only one covering the tea parties comprehensively. Others like MSNBC and CNN were busy commenting rather than reporting them. Given the scale and the organic nature of the movement, I find it outrageous that it got so little coverage in MSM. Imagine if it's an organic anti Bush movement with hundreds of protests going on all over the country, the MSM would be covering them 24/7 and some organizers will become instant media darlings.
So, what's wrong with watching fox news? I think they did great this time. No wonder their rating is number one.
all you people question me personally, not my point,have one thing in common: you are too old for this. It is 2008 already for God's sake. Cuturual revelution in over long time ago.
Let's give Bush a break, OK? he is gone forever!
Now, if Obama said he is opposite of Bush, why has he been doing the same bailing out BS started by Bush?
If Obama is such a moderate leader, why didn't he veto all the porks? Why didn't he give Congress enough time to debate and why hasn't he lead from the center?
If you have a good answer, I will give you some credit. Otherwise, I will classify you as those who still think you need a political leader to survive your life.
我从来不认为我很懂。不过我也不是什么羔羊，事实上救市到目前为止还是应该的。出现个别问题不可避免，但这可能避免了更大的问题。现在的经济问题连巴非特也未必有答案，只能看结果。至少我相信奥巴马比布什要聪明点。
I agree that the country's spending is out of control. But what options Obama has?
I am glad and proud if you call my faith in conservetive ideaology is a brain-washed one. It is way better than your socialist/communist brain-wash.
I don't understand why you came America, not stay in China if socialism is what you want.
At lease I creat jobs, I pay my tax, and I pay a lot every year on time.
What about you?
yes indeed, thanks for the support!
This is not a partisan movement, although some republican politicans try to ride the wave.
It's people trying to send a message to Washington, to both parties, that after tarp/porklus packages etc. got passed recklessly, people are waking up and saying enough is enough.
If you think your actual tax rate hasn't gone up so the concern is unjustified, how do you think all the huge spendings will be paid for?
"决定以后只看FOXNEWS" -- 这话让人脸红。。。我怕你洗脑被洗过了头 -- 却还沾沾自'洗'.我的问题是：你了解“Tea Party”的理念是什么吗？你的主张是什么？跟着瞎起哄的活动 -- 中国人不参加也罢。。。
也许您很懂，可惜您只不过是任人宰割的一头沉默羔羊。 当然，您要不是美国纳税人的话，您说什么也白说。 : )
FOXNEWS is the only network that is REALATIVELY unbiased towards conservatives.
Go ahead belittle yourself. While you enjoy doing that, have a party with other leftwingers and drones!
I am a proud Chinese red neck with PHD degree.
and yes, I own many guns with license.
Thanks for your support!!!
socialism in America started from Gorge Bush in his late second term. Got it? This is about what's best for this great country, not Republican or Democrate. It is what kind of America that we want!
Yes, let's save America, simply because we live here and we care!
YES! We are not alone. Let those leftwingers and socialists show their real faces here.
左派们很喜欢扣帽子，打棍子。见多不怪。
可惜这里是美国，我是纳税人，我有权力想怎么说，就怎么说。 政府是给纳税人服务的机构，政客的工资是纳税人人给开的，总统是给纳税人打工的。
I don't like CNN, but FOX is even worse.
I don't like Obama's spending spree, but do we have other options? If no bailout, we will see millions of foreclosures.
I think those banks who is responsible for the big mess should be sent to jail, but we need to save the banks so the country can run.
Money is like your blood, the USA is in such a bad shape, the blood is clogged or there is no blood, if you don't infuse blood, it will die.
