Irish Politician Gives The Tea Party Hell

A lot of you will have seen this on YouTube from a Facebook link. I just came across it and enjoyed the Progressive Bombarding. One thing that is true is that few Liberals or Progressives speak out with the conviction of the Right. We are fundamentally people who have a live and let live attitude and so the Right often bombards us with their convictions, coming out ahead in arguments, not by reason but by volume.

I don't have any notion what some of the particulars in this argument are, or if I agree with them. But I do agree that a basic standard of living should be secured for all citizens in the US. And it is refreshing to hear someone from our side talking right over someone who he regards as in the wrong. I think we need more of this from Progressive voices, because the obnoxiously loud Right paints us however they like and they have certainly had their, very loud, decade in the spotlight.

Some of you may not be able to see this clip.
