Marcella, if we don’t start fighting fire with fire in the language used over and over against us, conservatives, the Tea Party, all ANGLOS, Republicans, the religious, then we are not showing up for the fight. They are firing a canon and we bring a fork.
The divide-and-conquer scheme requires propaganda, language use, name calling, and a microphone (media) in order to marginalize, mock and eventually kill the opposition.
Add drugs into a country and you can be Rwanda, where one million were systematically slaughtered. 48 hours after their president was killed in a plane crash, the border closed and genocide began.
It all started with propaganda (radio) and dividing the people into two tribes the short and the tall, which became the Hutu and Tutsis.
That language is going on here, unchecked. Racism is baited daily.
Our response? Crickets.
That's why I think the Tea Party will have to step up and organize as a bona fide political party and maybe in five/ten years a conservative could be elected President.
Back to your point, the Tea Party would have to make their case to all people from all walks of life. People like Boehner will never approach others below what he thinks is his “station” in life.
And, with that snake, Reince Priebus the National Chairman, he won't let a conservative do jack, including conservative delegates to the national convention - he cut them off at the knees, and wouldn't let the two words, Tea Party, be mentioned in front of the convention. As far as I am concerned, he can go pound dirt. He's already gotten a commitment from the majority that they will vote him again as national chairman. It's a freaking conspiracy against conservatives - where is my tin foil hat?
