  ^ It's probably after the Boston tea party. They're basically saying they're rebelling against the government.
  
  I didn't know the Americans were so hateful of their president. It's not like he was accused of rape and fraud before he was elected and got elected anyway.

  Not all the Americans hate the president. It's just that when something bad affects the whole nation, the president is usually seen to have the responsibility to fix it (even though his job is totally different than helping people with their problems) and when things go bad, like they usually do, people complain "the president isn't doing his job"
  
  Also, the people who put the sign up want the US to be the way it was in Red Dead Redemption, albeit less westerny.

  I like Obama, though I live in Canada.
  I just hope the hate don't come from his color, though some of them hates him for that reason T_T.

  Where were these tea baggers when President Bush was in power starting wars and wire tapping Americans?
  
  The Tea Party members are nothing, but rabid angry white people who lost their jobs due to corporate cronyism.
  
  They use the excuse that are against government handouts to hid their naked racism.
  
  Mark my words, when Obama leaves office the Tea Party movement will disappear.

  The Tea Party movement has nothing to do with Obama or race, but rather with Obama's policies. Obama isn't even black (Only half black which means he's just as white as he is black). Also, the Tea Party doesn't like Bush either, as mentioned in the video below. Be sure to watch the whole thing before making any uninformed comments that make you look dumb.

  And the video you linked proves my point about the tea party nuts.
  
  The video was posted in 2010, now he's complaining about the taking away of freedoms, where was he in 2001 to 2009?
  
  Pastor Anderson is upset that all the GOP hasn't gone off the deep end in believing in the manifest destiny of America and God.

  Although there may be many racists within the Tea Party movement (and most other groups mind you) that does not mean that the whole movement is racist. Most of the racial slurs could possibly be a product of a combination of frustration with the Obama administration (picture #2) and proficiency at satire. One part of the video makes it clear that pastor Anderson did not like he Bush administration either. Ever since he started preaching, he has been preaching against the loss of freedoms in America and not just starting in 2010.

  /Request that thread remain unlocked. Controversy is created over politics only because politics happens to be an important topic that affects everyone. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a little controversy because in this country, the government is "of the people, by the people and for the people" and as such, the people must be able to freely discuss these things even at the expense of potentially offending others. Sure we can just talk about Justin Bieber and Twilight all day and not offend anyone, but what would that pointless banter really accomplish? Nothing.

  Well I suppose a little bit of "Bread and Circus" every now and then is useful...

  You should make a debate thread on politics, if it hasn't been done.
