It was close to what you said, however you failed to show the specific changes which turned it from a private enterprise to a mandatory public/private partnership.

do you even think any republican idea will ever get to obamas desk? no
things always stay the same.
After months of hearings, debates, votes and amendments, the proposed legislation, with 30 sections, was enacted as the Federal Reserve Act. The House, on December 22, 1913[7], agreed to the conference report on the Federal Reserve Act bill by a vote of 298 yeas to 60 nays, with 76 not voting. The Senate, on December 23, 1913, agreed to it by a vote of 43 yeas to 25 nays with 27 not voting. The record shows that there were no Democrats voting "nay" in the Senate and only two in the House. The record also shows that almost all of those not voting for the bill had previously declared their intentions and were paired with members of opposite intentions.[8]

I did not feel that it was relevant as both parties wanted a reserve system. I do think the move to include the public was wise as a purely private Federal Reserve may have been even worse.

Again, what does Jeneane Garofolo have to do with any of the evidence I presented in my comments? If you want to lie and link her to the evidence I posted throughout this thread, go ahead, but at least admit you are being dishonest about it. Also, what does any of the things you mention (i.e. democratic corporate funding), have to do with actual conservatives acknowledging the corporate backing of the tea party? Do these people have a liberal agenda as well? Is Ron Paul a "shill" for the liberal party because he points out the Tea Party has been taken over by corporate interests?
Also, I never denied that Democrats are also backed by corporatist wealthy elites...nor do I endorse or support their agenda...you can read my post history if you don't believe me, but you should at least be able to realize that pointing out that the Republican and Tea Party are funded by the same wealth elites and corporations is not by default agreeing with "the opposite" or the Democrats/Obamas agenda. Pointing out corporate funding in the Republican / Tea Party does not make one a supporter of the Democratic agenda, George Soros, or any of the other people you mention. This is a red herring, and you are again, trying to distract and deflect from the original point of this thread, which is the corporate funding and backing of the Tea Party. You and some others want to latch on to this simplistic logic that any intellectually honest debater can recognize is full of fallacies. Ad hominems, Poisoning the well, False dichotomies, blatant lying and mischaracterization of statements etc. etc. I am not going to fall for any of these. My agenda is the truth, which can be backed up with objective verifiable evidence, of which I have already posted on this thread...and so far what I am seeing is Tea Party people unwilling or refusing to acknowledge these facts, i.e. who is funding these rallies that they are attending (Freedom Work, AFP) and who is putting out these "instructional brochures" for protests, town halls, meetings etc. including specific questions to ask and positions to take.
The writing had been on the wall about the Tea Party for a long time, it has been co opted by corporate interests, anyone who subscribes to this type of political tribalism, thinking this party is somehow different from the Republican Party is again, ignoring the evidence (including what intellectual conservatives and true libertarians have been saying about the Tea Party). Even an article on Reason (also funded by Koch brothers) called the Tea Party "a rabidly right-wing phenomenon with a shaky grasp of history, a strain of intolerance and xenophobia, a paranoia about Barack Obama, and an unhealthy reverence for Fox News." source Lamenting that there lacks a true libertarian movement and so the "Tea Party will have to do" for now.
If you want to know my personal feelings, I used to support the Tea Party when it was associated with Ron Paul/grassroots, however it quickly was co opted by corporate interests and became basically just another reincarnation of neo-con/neo-liberal / Republican / Democrat values., Many Tea Party candidates have opposed cuts to ideas they ideologically agree with, (i.e. corporate welfare & war), while on the civil libertarian front many of the tea party backed candidates support government intervention into people's lives in areas that they disagree with such as abortion, gay marriage, the right for workers to form a union, and the new "financial marshal law bill" cropping up in several states. Again, these are not true libertarian values, and anyone familiar with the libertarian platform would understand this, and are rightly leery of these candidates, the Tea Party, and these policy positions. Source
But go ahead, if labeling me as a "democrat / soros / communist" supporter helps fit things into your narrow view of the "left vs. right" world that you subscribe to, so be it, you are entitled to your own opinion and how you see things is entirely up to you...there's plenty of people who buy into the neo-con/neo-liberal world globalist agenda, I don't hate these for being asleep or for voting for the democrat/republican/t-party corporatist servants, rather I will keep politely presenting the facts and it's entirely up to them what they choose to do with the evidence. Extremism on any side is bad, however the solutions to the world problems have nothing to do with "left vs. right" ideologies, rather they are a matter of recognizing some basic human rights and dignities and agreeing on outcomes that are best for the people as a whole (as opposed to a select few who profit off the current system)edit on 24-4-2011 by meeneecat because: (no reason given)

Wilson embraced fascism at that time, which is really and always has been nothing but leftism and Socialism.
It is just a variant of the Left. the Democrats like to obfuscate this by calling Fascism an element of extreme right. There is nothing right about it at all. Even Hitler named his party The National Socialist Party, which is what NAZI really stands for.
Let us not forget that Soros himself confiscated the wealth of the people for the National Socialist Party during Hitler's reign, and without remorse.

"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it comes strong than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power."
the left has become the most powerful group in american history from unions to education to hollywood and film and television.
any group that has accumulated that much power it will and has corrupted them.

George Soros' $30M Welfare CheckBy: Jeff Johnson
What are you talking about? I know he was a hungarian jew but how is any of this rellevant to the tea party
The Open Society Institute, a private foundation controlled by liberal billionaire and political activist George Soros, received more than $30 million from U.S. government agencies between 1998 and 2003. Last year, Soros donated at least $20 million of his own money to such liberal groups as Moveon.org, in a failed attempt to block the re-election of President George W. Bush.
OSI has apparently applied this strategy in the U.S., as well. The foundation received 1.4 to 4.4 percent of its annual contributions between 1998 and 2003 from American taxpayer funding. Various State Department documents indicate that OSI has been paid to run what the department describes as "democratization programs" in a number of countries.
Groups in this category typically oppose mining and logging initiatives, commercial fishing enterprises, development and construction in wilderness areas, the use of coal, the use of pesticides, and oil and gas exploration in "environmentally sensitive" locations. Moreover, they claim that human industrial activity leads to excessive carbon-dioxide emissions which, in turn, cause a potentially cataclysmic phenomenon called "global warming." Examples of such Soros donees include Earthjustice, Green For All, the Natural Resources Defense Council, the Alliance for Climate Protection, Friends of the Earth, and the Earth Island Institute.

Socialism is a bridge between Capitalism and Communism. If you want to call that centrism then so be it. Fabian Socialists know that communism is the endgame. Even the Communist Party says it on their websites.

I am behind you people really need to be aware, that is why I was remarking on the lack of responses, there is a concerted effort to all Tea Bag puppets to not bring any attention to this thread they cannot as yet attempt to obscure with half truths and baiting.

If we have communism then we might as well have capitalism. Both suck balls!
Why do you think hitler attacked russia if socialism and communism were the same thing?
Hint: Hitler hated jews, communists and gypsies. Read Mein Kampf
Probably the most difficult task in this work will be to get across to the reader what is really an elementary observation: that the objective of The Order is neither "left" nor "right." "Left" and "right" are artificial devicces to bring about change, and the extremes of political left and political right are vital elements in
a process of controlled change. The answer to this seeming political puzzle lies in Hegelian logic.
Remember that both Marx and Hitler, the extremes of "left"
and "right" presented as textbook enemies, evolved out of the same
philosophical system: Hegelianism. That brings screams of
intellectual anguish from Marxists and Nazis, but is well known to
any student of political systems.

i could post a few links, but it would be a waste of my energy...
i suggest for all of my brothers and sisters to use thier intuition on this subject..
anything that is not love and light for all humans is not in service to our highest good..
