Profiling the Tea Party People
[Guest post by DRJ]
Dr. Helen considers Tea Party people and separates the ordinary from the extraordinary:
“The ordinary are the elite politicians who think that they know what is best and try to foster their will on these independent citizens. The ordinary are those who demand that government give us cradle to grave entitlements that lead to a loss of freedom and an increasing debt to be carried for years to come. The ordinary are the media who are so biased in favor of the Obama administration that they do what they can to smear these extraordinary citizens for daring to voice their opinions.
The extraordinary are the citizens who are refusing to be ordinary and go along with the program down The Road to Serfdom.”

Obeyme and his ilk are the same peeps who had nothing but contempt for those who tossed aside the fetters of Britain back in the day.
What a Grand Tradition we have demonstrated when our many appeals are ignored.
Enoch_Root (174a66) — 3/27/2010 @ 4:21 pmHas anyone read the atrocious column in the Washington Post by Colbert I. King? It’s absolutely disgraceful, and if anything begs for violence, it’s this kind of demonization against Tea Partiers. Here is his opening paragraph:
“The angry faces at Tea Party rallies are eerily familiar. They resemble faces of protesters lining the street at the University of Alabama in 1956 as Autherine Lucy, the school’s first black student, bravely tried to walk to class.”

Shane (27c76a) — 3/27/2010 @ 5:39 pmNone of these idiots know enough history to recall that it was Democrats filibustering against anti-lynching laws in the 30s and 40s. Robert Byrd, grand old man of the present-day Democrats, led the filibuster against the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Clyburn the black senior House leader under Pelosi talked last week about the first black governor of South Carolina and the abuse he took. Nowhere did Clyburn happen to mention that that governor was a REPUBLICAN !

The House passing a bill the Senate approved is a cheat?
