  Did not have a hard time finding an article disproving your Tea Partiers have JOBS argument:

  and another:

  just one more for good measure:

  Now I am sure that you have many other capital letters to throw out in order to get your point across to these numbskulls protesting what they see to be an unfair system,but to claim that one group of angry people is somehow categorically better than another group of angry people is preposterous. They are both out there to speak their mind and thus should be applauded for exercising their rights instead of demonized because of their inability or lack of desire to find work. As a matter of fact, if these kids truly believe what they are saying, none of them should be working. That is the only true way that they will be able to achieve their anarchist master plan.

  Also, hanging out in the park beats getting blisters from a fryer any day.

  Sorry if that sounded a bit incoherent, but I just finished a 12 hour workday of manual labor.

  Good for them! If these people market properly, we may see a new food industry pop up.

  Gay is the new Black!

  While I have no problem with a store refusing to sell ANYTHING to ANYONE, I think that this is ridiculous, especially if the owner actually brought up her rich, Semetic heritage. At that point, one could argue that they discriminated against her because of her religious beliefs. We have seen great leaps as far as acceptance goes in the world, including my favorite recent one, the ACLU defending the Tea Party: http://huff.to/lFR44R. Still, we have a ways to go, as can be evidenced by The Dorchester’s recent fracas: http://bo.st/mQ3yoi.While I hope there is a valid explanation for their denial of service, does there really need to be. I would personally boycott anyone with discriminatory policies, regardless of their reasoning. As a matter of fact, I have quit going to a number of places I used to frequent: after hearing complaints about a business (that I LOVED) not serving the homeless, I had a friend dress down nice and ratty and try to order a drink. Indeed, he was refused: I requested the manager after that and told him that he had lost a customer and all of my word of mouth advertising. Since I work with travelling businessmen, that was a hell of a lot of business. They closed their doors later that year. I suppose that it is the right of store owners to decide who they want as clientele, but it seems rather petty and dangerous when you consider the ramifications. As for me, I hope never to be kicked out of a soul food restaurant because I’m

  @AVENGERK Don’t you dare say “say no more” after you hear the words New York Times. All they did was publish the book. This other company has a vested interest in creating revenue. While it might have been a touch on the sleazy side, it likely has nothing to do with indoctrinating people or pushing an agenda. It is all about sales.

  Are you really arguing that entrenching ourselves deeper in our reliance on fossil fuels is an adequate strategy? If anything, it is just a temporary splint to prop up a failing system. Following that line of logic will eventually lead to an even greater problem. Specifically, in addition to all of the economic woes that we are currently suffering, we will see the widespread poisoning of the American people due to current trends in shale mining.
