The tea party, civil rights and racism

When people think of “Civil Rights” the first thing to come to mind is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Rightly so, this man of God was a brilliant and eloquent advocate for concepts first enshrined by our Founding Fathers. His words echo through time and history. Dr. King believed in the inherent qualities of man before looking at his skin color. These are true and real beliefs held by conservatives across the nation. “I have a dream,” he cried, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

It is nothing short of staggering, that those on the left who claim to be the champions of down trodden minorities (Black and Hispanic Americans), could so viciously and unjustly accuse the right of racism as it has been doing with such astounding venom in the past year. ‘all we see are images of white tea partiers, “they must be racists!”’ is their cry.

This is categorically false. While there are racists left in America, by and large they are not found in the tea party. Conservative Black leaders are not only welcomed, they are welcomed as kindred spirits, brothers and sisters, fellow Americans.

I can’t see the Irony as anything less than sickening.

Why is it that I so often feel completely alone in my knowledge of this, what you posted. I know I am not, I know that it’s just where I live... but still...

Thank GOD I have a really good and personal relationship with the police in my little town of 16,000. I have a friend looking for “home defense” weapons for me, because he too believes that the veneer of civil society is far far thinner than most Americans recognize.

“It will come from the south” he says, and I believe him.

Take them to task with

“Obviously you lack the depth of understanding to discuss the issues at hand. This is obvious because of your retreat to the race card instead of addressing the issues.”

[Danae]

Its the only card they apparently have in their hands.

I believe this whole drama is orchestrated from the White House using politically reliable members of the news media and some of the more blatant buffoons in Congress. Democrats are trying to push politics back to times when racism was a driving force.

Brad, you are 100% correct but your vision is too limited, perhaps by your age. This has been going on since Vladimir Lenin sent Julious Hammer and his son Armond to America in 1907 to start the Communist Workers Party, soon changed to Communist Party USA. Rather than give a brief summary of their history I will just say that the entire civil rights movement was initiated and financed by the Communists. So was/is the Feminist movements, the gay rights movements, etc. All are intended to divide America and confuse our values.

Those things are true. It has only ever evolved.
