    It's pretty clear Waters hates Americans that don't share her radical views, telling them they can go straight to h***! Really Maxine? The poster girl for unethical behaviour wants more of the tax payers money! Given how she's abused it in the past I don't see that as a good idea!!!

        Time for you to get on the fact train, yours is obviously derailed.

        First, there are 3 seperate groups going, each group staying 1 week, not 5. Wow there are Democrats on the trip too. Guess you frogt to mention that.

        Washington -- U.S. Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle(D) plans to travel to Israel on Saturday, where she will spend a week meeting Israeli and Palestinian leaders and touring the region with other members of Congress. Buerkle is among more than 80 members of Congress -- both Republicans and Democrats -- who are visiting Israel in three separate groups during the August recess. U.S. Rep. Bill Owens, (D) Plattsburgh, was in the first group to visit last week.  Source-Politico

          Uhhuh...they go there rather than go home to their constituents...you call that caring for America, I call it something else.

          5 weeks vaca...on our dime for all of Congress, vs 10 days for Obama.

          Wonder why you blast Obama ,but give Cantor and Ryan a pass?

            As you cannot read, I will school you again.

            They did go home, after their 1WEEK trip, they went home again. What is your problem? are you that hell bent you need to keep making things up despite being shown a left publications showing they only went for one week, and you continue to deny the Dems that went. And by the way, if you read the article, you would have seen it was not on the taxpayers dime.

            So why blast Obama? first I am not blasting him, he is entitled to a vaction as they all are. Whether you belive they do or not is a personal opinion. The difference here is Obama is at an estate for 10 days at a cost of $56,000 per week at the taxpayers expense. And yes, that is on our dime. That does not include all the security and other issues needed to keep him informed. By the way and on a seperate issue, he said he needed a vacation, but he is giving interviews at the same pace as if he was in the Whitehouse. So he should have stayed in Washington and kept giving speeches from there, it wold have been cheaper on the taxpayers. Now Bush went to his ranch, not an estate costing $56,000 per week. In addition at his ranch he turned several rooms, at his own expense, into a mini Whitehouse so he could stay informed and make decisions.

            Do you think it was wise to spend all that money at taxpayers expense when so many are unemployed and his policies are adding to our national debt at record pace? His vacation is adding to the National debt.

      Why did you title this thread this way?  I take offense.  My father served 3 tours in Vietnam.  His sacfrice and love for American has had a profound impact on my entire life.  Every one of the men in my immediate family (dad, grandpa, brother, uncles...) has served in every war since the great war.  I fiercely love this country and the people in it.  Your title- ultimately  stereotypes me and others like me, into a group in which I don't belong nor appreciate.  It's quite obnoxious of you really to be so careless with your words.

        I think its pretty clear, liberals luke Maxine Waters hate Americans, particularly Americans that don't share her views. 48% of Americans agree wirh the Tea Party on the issues facing this country and Waters told then they can all gi straight to hell. You don't take offense to that though? You don't take offense that your father fought for this country to preserve freedom and free speech only to have a congress woman of the USA tell it's citizens that voice their dissent they should go to hell? Personally I find that rather offensive!

      The hate of the tea party has been vocaluzed by many on the left, reffering to us as terrorists holding the country hostage, and angry racists, and now this from Waters. The tea party isn't just some small group of extremists like many on the left think but a cross section of the majority of Americans.

        Actually the Tea Party is a small group of extremeists, it's formed of a small group of people who have extreme political viewpoints, if you read any of the stuff they have been posting recently I am not sure how you could see it any differently.

            Most people don't understand the difference of "expressing viewpoints" as opposed to arguing. Most of what happens in religion and politics is argument with vehement emotions. Rational, calm dialogs are usually rare. Expressing viewpoints is a lot different than what normally happens.

            My observation of the Tea Party is that they were an unpredicted backlash against the direction of present gov't. that forced some immediate change. While that is considered a good thing by most, it also became a band wagon for fundamentalists and extremists, which actually weakened its power to effect further change. In its present condition, the Tea Party is splattered, scattered, and at odds with itself because of the diversity of vehement, sometimes irrational opinions by so many people with their own personal agendas and motives. Until the party can focus on its specific platforms for change, this disarray will continue.

                Karen N, above did a nice job of describing it. I'm not saying that the Tea Party is the only organization with extremists in it. They all have extremists. But usually extremists don't dictate party platform and policy. However, the Tea Party is a very new entity that hasn't had time to fully come into itself, and often fundamentalists and extremists are able to have more influence in the early stages. This is my observation of what's going on.

                I think my point is still valid whether you agree or not. If there weren't any truth to my observation, then the left wouldn't accuse the Tea Party of being filled with extremists. But you certainly have the right to disagree.

                    "An October 2010 Washington Post canvass of 647 local Tea Party organizers asked "which national figure best represents your groups?" and got the following responses: no one 34%, Sarah Palin 14%, Glenn Beck 7%, Jim DeMint 6%, Ron Paul 6%, Michele Bachmann 4%"

    With this said, I just got finished watching poor O'Reilly blunder through his show today. After a diatribe rife with blather about Obama's "vacation" and filled with blame on the President for all of America's economic woes he claimed that anyone who opposed his viewpoint was "misguided"...

    He was then tag teamed by both of his guests...one a touted CEO/investor/entrepreneur, and the other a well known economist Ben Stein...

    After dear old Bill tried to get them to agree with him, they both undermined all the points he had tried to make about the President's blame and drag on the economy, and then both supported increased taxation on those making over 1 million dollars per year... 

    After very plainly making their points, O'Reilly said that he refused to believe what they were saying and went to commercial break...

    He is the only misguided one...and it is sad that so many Americans can't see past his obvious stupidity and arrogance... 

    The man is delusional...

    When anyone continually places blame on others, it is a symptom of their denial to accept that they are victims who have given up their personal power. Thus, they can claim that others have robbed them, victimized them, and claim that they are entitled to restitution. In political and religious arenas this appears to be rampant. It seems in these circles that most only want to blame instead of evaluate their own motives and agendas where good actually starts. As long as blame and hostility continue, the world will continue to be broken. When each individual is willing to lay down their weapons and start a pattern of promoting good, then it will inspire others to do the same. Until that happens, we are faced with the same insanity that we continue to see now.

      I find that the power of the Tea Party, precisely because because it is decentralized is the fact that it is a popular movement. 87% of the funding was raised locally because of this, most of these are informal groups. Only 10% of the funding comes from national organizations.

      The source is the same as I used above. It seems like a typical grassroots movement to me. I'm sure there are shades at the edges, but compared to the Clintons and such, it truly is a breath of fresh air (n.b I'm not a fan of the tea party movement).

      Why doesn't that surprise me?

      Please tell me something. If Liberals are so intelligent, why do they want to be able to do what they want, when they want, where they want, with whomever they want but then don't have a problem giving all their rights over to a big nanny government?

      Don't they understand once they give away all their rights so that big nanny government will take care of them they want be allowed to do what they want, when they want, where they want, with whomever they want?

      If Liberals are supposedly so intelligent, why can't they figure that out?

      Conservatives figured that out a long time ago.

      That is just a fact. Too bad. VENNONA, the KGB, FBI, Commintern, GRU, State Dept, OSS, OWI, Senate and Executive records, all prove the facts as McCarthy claimed, were true.

    "In 1935 McCarthy tried practicing law in several Wisconsin towns, earning a reputation as a fierce gambler along the way. He also began playing the game of politics. After an unsuccessful bid as Democratic candidate for district attorney, he shifted his focus and became the Republican candidate for circuit court judge. He won, and at the age of twenty-nine he became the state's youngest circuit court judge. This victory also hinted at his later methods: He had lied in his campaign literature about his opponent's age (adding seven years to it) and about his own (moving his birth date back). By now, his basic personality was well shaped—clever and ambitious but lacking moral judgment, or the ability to distinguish between right and wrong."

      Oh please... lol..

      So what? Politics is a dirty game.

      What a joke. that has absolutely no bearing on his pointing out security risks in the Govt., as was his job.

      There has never been a lick of proof that he intentionally lied. He won an election and the establishment didn't like it... the incumbant ;lost and whined. Too bad.

      Go read some real history.

      In 1943, the Venona Project began. It's goal was to break the Soviet Unions diplomatic codes. After 2 years, the project was a sucess.

      What Venona prooved was that were indeed persons activly working against the USA and to benifit the Soviet Union. Many people that McCarthy refused to "name" were former members of the Communist Party and in positions where they had access to classified materials. And the Govt already had possession of the same lists, the Lee List etc... as ole Joe. But Joe wanted them all investigated first and named only if they were proven to be subversives. Call it inocent untill proven guilty.

      Here's what one historian has to say about the subject:

      The release of [the Venona papers] would have nipped McCarthyism in the bud, for the true facts about real spies would have made wild accusations about imaginary [sic] spies irrelevant. Only in the absence of Venona could McCarthy feed on collective fears regarding immense conspiracies and treacherous leaders. Venona would have revealed unstinted spying, abetted by the American [Communist] Party. It would have led to the prosecution of disloyal public servants. It would have stifled the outcry that Communists were the innocent victims of Red-baiting and witch-hunts, and shown that McCarthy was inconsequential to the issue he rode to fame.

      Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Chairman of the bipartisan Commission on Government Secrecy, responsible for securing the release of Venona project materials, in the Introduction to his book Secrecy states, "The Venona intercepts contained overwhelming proof of the activities of Soviet spy networks in America, complete with names, dates, places, and deeds." The release involved careful consideration of privacy interests of individuals mentioned, referenced, or identified in the translations. Some names have not been released when to do so would constitute an invasion of privacy. Over 200 named or covernamed persons found in the VENONA translations, persons then present in the U.S., are claimed by the KGB and the GRU in their messages as their clandestine assets or contacts.

      <<http://www.conservapedia.com/List_of_Americans_in_the_Venona_papers>>

      Yes... McCarthy was absolutely correct!

    http://books.google.com/books?id=Xml4Mo … mp;f=false

    We can do this all day....

    Mr. McCarthy's delusion and paranoia probably had something to do with his cronic alcohol and drug abuse.... 

    I liken much of Cold War mentality with that of the Salem Witch Trials...


    In a nation where we have the right to say and believe what we think, old Joe's mentality and abuse of government authority (for example, during the Taft-Hartley debate, demanding that union shops deny membership to those thought to be communists) shows the hypocrisy of the entire process....

    They were afeared of the government of the USSR....a state dominated by the government, that he in turn created a similar environment here....

    I wonder what old Joe would have thought of the Israeli-Egyptian conflict in the early 70's....  Would he have jumped on the Kissinger b.s. wagon talking about the 40,000 Soviet Marines in the Eastern Med waiting to assist the cut-off Egyptian troops...  Would he have used the media to lie to the American people and create a crisis that didn't exist?  (Oh those liberals control the media all right..) 

    Yes...he would have....

    Espionage was taking place everywhere...  The Venona project itself shows this to be true...  Based on the information I have seen up to this point, regarding communist agents, the intelligence was hit or miss...  I hope to live to see the declassification of the HUAC files and other information that will definitely demystify that part of American history...

    It's too bad that we have evidently been deemed "incapable" of having this material now...

    McCarthy's character speaks for itself... His motives were for his own selfish self at the cost of everyone else...and his own life...  Though he may have found himself on the right side of an issue (on very few occasions), it is him in his entirety that is being described....

    He was a loser, a liar, a charlatan, a megalomaniac, a fearmongerer, and a hypocrite...

            Right... like the peaceful muslims that raped Lara Logan in Egypt or the peaceful muslims that performed "virginity" tests on the women there or the peaceful muslims that killed the dutch cartoonist, or the ones that made death threats against David Letterman or the ones that rioted and killed their own people when a FL preacher threatend to burn the koran, or the peace muslims that are killing and persecuting christians everyday, just because they are christian? Those peaceful muslims? As Bush said "Bring it on"!

              How many Muslims are in the world?

              The vast majority of Muslims are beyond the scope of your description...and comprehension evidently

              Lackluster Lady, as usual....

              (Evidently she doesn't know any Muslims herself)

    By the way Lady, you have avoided answering in the "Understanding" thread...

    Have you found out which U.S. military units are on the ground in Libya?

    Have you found a reasonable way to compare a 1 billion dollar, foreign fought conflict (Libya) and a 1.5 trillion dollar, hundreds of thousands of troops, go it alone (or just about..the Brits don't really count in this case) "long hard slog" (Iraq)?
