May 18, 201313 yr Disagree. I don't know your niece, but I do know some Tea Party members and they're just honest, hard working members of society that want smaller government and less taxes. I don't see anything "privileged" in that. Yep. Just decent, hard-working people ... who are waging a war on literacy in NKY. Libraries? We don't need no stinkin' libraries grabbing our tax dollars. Who the heck needs books anyways?
May 18, 201313 yr Chris Matthews is about the only show I watch on MSNBC. I watch far more more Fox because of the high heels and short skirts that the Foxettes wear. Roger Ailes' eye candy for the prostate-challenged. I wonder if any big names will emerge from the Swiss hidden-assets scandal. Did Romney park any $$ in Switzerland or was he strictly Caribbean? Maybe Pelosi or Reid parked some money there also. They are both very wealthy.
May 18, 201313 yr Maybe Pelosi or Reid parked some money there also. They are both very wealthy. You might well be right. The person I'd look at first, though, would be Michele Bachmann, aka "The Swiss Miss." She's now a citizen of Switzerland.
May 18, 201313 yr Yep. Just decent, hard-working people ... who are waging a war on literacy in NKY. Libraries? We don't need no stinkin' libraries grabbing our tax dollars. Who the heck needs books anyways?Not that your view is myopic in the least. They don't want an increase in taxes to build a library, so of course, it's a war on literacy and that MUST mean they think we don't need books. Yeah, I can tell you watch Tingles...
May 18, 201313 yr There are some really really radical thoughts being posted here . Tea Party war on libraries ? As a Tea Party supporter (sympathisizer?) who loves the idea of lower taxs and less govt intrusion into out lives ( libertarian streak) I sure dont have a thing against libraries .

Existing libraries might be forced to close if the "Know Nothings" succeed. That would be a real boon to attracting new business to the Bluegrass State, wouldn't it?
May 18, 201313 yr Existing libraries might be forced to close if the "Know Nothings" succeed. That would be a real boon to attracting new business to the Bluegrass State, wouldn't it? I got a crazy idea how about the government spends the money we already give them more wisely and they won't have to ask for more of our money. You are angry with the tea party and not the politicians who mismange the money.
May 18, 201313 yr No you are correct about that , but making sure that the Tax laws as written about 501© 4 as pertaining toward groups seeking to attain tax exempt status are correctly followed is the IRS' job . No matter what their ideology is . It sounds as if the Tea Party groups want a free pass in this matter and that is not acceptable . Are you serious ? Have you read how far out of protocol the IRS went when they were intimidating conservatives. These weren't regular audits . They asked for info IRS has no business asking . Not to mention they targeted a specific ideology and not all ideology groups.
May 18, 201313 yr Duh. Who would you audit if you were the IRS? A billionaire or someone who drives an 11-year-old Corolla? I am continuously amazed by the limited world view of those who get their news from Fox and Friends. I guess the timing of the audits , amount of audits and the depth of the audits are of little concern. Seriously continue your blind following of government as long as a democrat is an office . The simplistic thought process you have is scary. Mainly because I know there are many more non critical thinkers electing our politicians.
May 18, 201313 yr Kind of a blanket statement here. I don't know many people that think the poor are dishonest, but I know a lot of abuse goes on from lazy people and that gets more attention and hurts those that are truly in need. Just curious, do the rich Liberals think of themselves as dishonest or do they reserve that for the rich Conservatives? No rich liberals feel the pain of the working man unlike the evil tea party . ( sarcasm) We will ignore the fact the tea party is made up almost entirely of hard working middle class Americans.

Here's a link to story about the court rulings in favor of the Tea Party and against the Campbell County and Kenton County library districts. Unfortunately, this furthers the notion that Kentucky is a stupid state. http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20130413/NEWS0103/304130085/Second-court-ruling-imperils-libraries

This reminds me so much of the scare tactics the Obama administration has been using for sequester. I'm with Lipton Bash, let the government spend more wisely and stop taxing us to death.
May 19, 201313 yr Might...if... This reminds me so much of the scare tactics the Obama administration has been using for sequester. I'm with Lipton Bash, let the government spend more wisely and stop taxing us to death. Don't know if story mentions this, but 79 counties follow same law that Kenton and Campbell library districts use to set rates. So this essentially is a statewide issue, not just confined to NKY.
May 19, 201313 yr Don't know if story mentions this, but 79 counties follow same law that Kenton and Campbell library districts use to set rates. So this essentially is a statewide issue, not just confined to NKY. You are amazing. So the government is proven to be breaking the law on how they raised taxes . It is proven in court. But some how the tea party is your bad guy. You are not outraged the government has been taxing its citizens for almost 5 decades illegally. Seriously my man you can't be serious. The government is clearly in the wrong and it was proven.
May 19, 201313 yr Baloney The Tea party members think that they are as we used to say "privileged characters " my idiot niece among them . Do you really not have a clue about the issue or do you just want to spout your biased generalities?
