Sheila Jackson Lee, in Congress: 'I Stand Here as a Freed Slave'
NewsBusters ^

Posted on 02/14/2013 8:47:01 PM PST by chessplayer

Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Tex.) looks mighty good for a woman who has to be at least 148 years old.

My take on her age is based on a statement the Congresswoman made today while objecting to impending spending reductions relating to sequestration in which she characterized herself as "a freed slave." Slavery as a legal institution ended in the U.S. in 1865 at the end of the Civil War. Here is what Ms. Jackson Lee said, in context (HT Rush Limbaugh):

We are at the bone almost. And sequester that is across-the-board cuts will literally destroy us and put us in a recession.

I don't want to hear the fact that the president is divisive. The President is leading and he has led well. The American people are listening. When are our friends on the other side of the aisle going to listen? I want to challenge this body to be the kind of "Lincolness attitude."

As yesterday was the official birthday of President Lincoln, February 12, and although it was a tragic time in our history, I can assure you that it shows the greatest promise of America when people could come together and do something great. I STAND HERE AS A FREED SLAVE because this Congress came together.

“Who’s stupider, Shelia Jackson Lee or Hank (Guam is gonna sink) Johnson?”

Can Congresswoman Corrine Brown of Florida compete for this title?

“Sheila Jackson Lee stands perpetually as an ignorant liar.”

She is an embarassment to the black race; it is impossible to take them seriously with token clowns like her in front of cameras.

You would have been free in 1860, too lazy and stupid to work, too damned ugly to breed.

“because this Congress came together”....

makes about as much sense as the unintelligible Ted Kennedy quote that Rush kept playing.

“Yep, kind of like taking White people seriously after seeing Harry Reid or Joe Biden or Michael Savage or John Boehner or Rosie O’donnell or Ron Paul or...”

Yes, exactly like that. Do you get the impression that anyone is taking white people seriously? I don’t, and I can easily understand why. The difference is that TV tries to portray blacks as serious people, while denigrating whites constantly.

We are about to come full circle with the democrats making us all into debt slaves. The democrat party has always been the party of slavery.

I’m with you - they’re only victims in their grand delusions. Too bad neither has the wit to feel shame for their lies...

Sheila stands there as an icon of embarrassment for carbon based life forms everywhere.

“The democrat party has always been the party of slavery.”

They are slaves to a failed ideology. They hold onto the notion that one of these next “tries,” it will finally “work!” It’s like I know a Liberal couple that have bought several Prius,’ Despite all the evidence that they are a lousy investment, they keep on buying them because “it’s the right thing to do” and they feel “good” about doing it. The most important word in the Liberal lexicon is “feelings.”
