Washington Post: Why the Tea Party is so unyielding on the debt ceiling

You can read the piece, and the liberal comments which follow it, here.

The responses to your Post article are mind numbing. And these people vote? Most of the folks have not an iota of what the issue is about, despite your clear explanation. Probably those responses could be used to prove that the Dept of Education is a waste of money. If I were a teacher of any subject, I would cower at the inability to read displayed by the folks and I'm being generous! Thank you for your work Mr Phillips.

I was just ready to sit down to lunch. I don't know if I should laugh or cry at the pure ignorance of those responding to the piece. I have to assume every one of them is working for the Government and is terrified of losing their jobs. Frankly, their responses don't seem to be coming from people who are aware of the serious of the situation. One even complained about the National Parks being closed in the middle of "Family Vacation Time". UGH!

Nicely done and glad it was in the WP. Their readers deserve the truth too.

After reading the responses from the left wingers at the Washington (com)post I believe I will have to wash out my eyes and take a shower. These progressive kool-aid drinking fools is why we are in debt. There was one fool who actually responded America can continue to print money and that will take care of our problem. This person actually shows how our educational system has failed us. What a travesty. This country will become a socialist lead European type government where the overall economy is stifled and everyone lives in a miserable situation. God help this once great country.

Washington DC has to most to lose if the debt ceiling isn't raised. Some are predicting a 5% drop in GDP, much of which should be experienced inside the beltway. A 5% drop in GDP is a small price to pay compared to what will eventually be paid if unchecked borrowing is allowed to continue.
I've also noticed that the liberal media is confusing default on Bonds with not paying for everything else. This is another example of the liberal media changing the meaning of words to pursue it's agenda. How do you default on what is free handouts? If you don't give a panhandler money, have you defaulted?

Every one of the liberal comments I read reflected ignorance and lack of understanding. Those people scare me. If we can't get the spending under control NOW, then I am going to start stockpiling food, water, and other items needed for personal security and safety. If the spending is not brought under control now, it never will be and you can count on America going down in flames. Gather the things you really want and really love, because they won't be around much longer.
The Irony of the situation is that all of the comments that the liberals made didn't apply to the tea party, they actually applied to themselves.
I have been faxing members of congress and the senate to try to convince them to get this mess fixed now. I have never done that before, but that's how strongly I feel about this. It's now or never. And I'm losing hope...

You really have to wonder how many of the elite responders are sitting at a desk in some government office reading and writing their vitriol on the government dime? Or maybe just part of the Obama Army paid to rebut conservative articles with the democrat talking points.

Just keep in mind the simple truism: mass media is NOT on our side. Most, likely all, outlets are sold on obamoids.

With all due respect I think everyone needs to realize we only got the House of Representatives. It doesn't matter what bill comes through the house. If any republican is going to get any credit the senate and the White House will defeat it. I'm as patriotic as anyone and I think John Boehner is doing the absolute best he can in this situation. He got cut, cap and balance through the house, but as predicted the dems tore it down. I'd like to see anyone in this movement do better. If anyone thinks they can then they should run for office. When 2012 comes we can probably get at least the senate or White House or both. Instead of worrying about replacing John Boehner we need to concentrate on replacing Barak Obama. He's a much bigger threat

Priceless.
And to think that quote was just 5 months before he violated the Logan Act, by actively campaigning for his Kenyan cousin for President. When Odinga lost, his Muslim buddies went on a rape and killing spree. After 1500 blacks were murdered, Odinga was offered a Prime Minister position to stop the killing.

R. Reagan once said, "It haint so much that liberals don't know anything, it just that what they know haint so".
I read some of the comments about the article, and the one thing that stood out in their comments was the total lack of back ground intelligence to support their comments.
One even went so far as to say the US could print all the money it wanted, I guess he's never heard of the "Federal Reserve", and it's certain he knows absolutely nothing about the way our financial system works.
If it were possible to convince liberals that by following their advise both "US" and the "COUNTRY" would end up hell, we might make some headway.
However, in most cases, nothing but hell can convince a fool who professes himself to be wise.
