The Coffee Party Movement gives voice to Americans who want to see cooperation in government. We recognize that the federal government is not the enemy of the people :lol:, but the expression of our COLLECTIVE will.

I guess Obama isnt facist/socialist enough for these freaks. Talking about how health insurance is a natural right. I actually thought about joining their forum for some debate, but snapped out of it and realized I would probably have better luck trying to talk some sense to one of these...................

Yeah.. this is shitty. I think both the Tea & Coffee groups are doing nothing more than fucking things up even further, mostly by simple distraction.

A friend of mine on FB suggested that I might be interested in that.. I'm always hit with stuff like this on that site. A different friend and I just had an exchange where she summed me up as evil and thinking myself superior to others because I don't support government programs for kids and welfare.

FB should have another category of pals who are labeled "Kindalike Friends".

They should have called it the Koolaid Party instead.  Blind faith in a cult-like "authority" is what they're all about!

To totally kill this meme, would anyone like to join my Filtered Rainwater Party?  It's healthy, rational, and tax-free!

Looks like a bunch of big-government liberals who think government will suddenly work if they're in charge.

Slavery is good, if it's not racist slavery.

You see, since the federal government is the expression of our collective will, it ought to be able to command your time and labor, since it's what you want to do, anyways.

Only if it's taken from unsubsidized tax resister cows (http://bbs.freetalklive.com/index.php?topic=31494.msg607902#msg607902).

Or humans.

You know, it's sorta a coincidence.  I grew up with the Stueve family, of the Alta Dena Dairy, referenced in the recent FreeTalkLive story about raw milk. 

They fought the government (California gov, I think) for years and millions of dollars to retain the right to distribute raw milk, and ultimately lost.  They were excellent people.  The dairy was spotless, and they won countless awards for quality in the LA County area.  I believe they actually "invented" frozen yogurt.  We sampled it there before we'd ever heard about it.  Several (church, parochial school) events a year were held there, and they provided all sorts of fund raising opportunities.  Their children went to the various local Lutheran schools.

Anyway, before giving up milk altogether, I spent several years drinking their raw product.  Incidentally, switching to raw cleared up my acne as a teenager.  Wouldn't be surprised if homogenized/pasteurized milk contributes to teen acne.  I truly think the reason why governments outlawed the raw milk is because the other dairies have shitty sanitation practices, and the pasteurization became the lazy way out for them; since they didn't want to compete, they ganged up on the quality dairies and outlawed the product.

What's funny about that is I literally grew up getting Alta Dena delivered to my house.  Good milk, although a bit expensive.

Apparently they just did a study and found that whole dairy products actually decrease heart attacks by 26 per cent http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE65733320100608 (http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE65733320100608)

So is the rising rates of heart disease and the policies of the government in relation to milk actually the root cause of so many deaths ?

When it comes to unintended consequences you cant beat the state for fucking up 100 per cent of the time.

A scientist comes out with some study that may be false and the asshole pollies step in  front of the crowd to claim glory....so what happens when it turns out they are wrong?  ( climate change anyone?)

Alex, if you were ever going to get me to join something with you, that would be the cause.

But no.  8)

Roger Ebert (strange how a man can simultaneously be so sharp and so clueless) recently called for a debate between the coffee party leader and Sarah Palin.  I have to admit, it would be funny to see.

People like Ebert are very good at paying attention to detail, so when it comes to reviewing movies he catches everything. What people like Ebert are HORRIBLE at is thinking things through to their logical end, or realizing the root causes of the details he is so well at pointing out. Similar to guys like Ralph Nader, who is one of the best when it comes to summing up the problems with government corruption, but falls flat on his face by supporting the idea that we need another government agency to regulate the corrupt government agencies.

Palin?.....................I just wanna see her bush 8)
