These Are My People; Americans
Apr 16, 2010 Political
The talk about the TEA Party movement is that it is filled with racists, those opposed to Barack Obama’s agenda because he is a black man. The thought never crosses the minds of the MSM that perhaps the people are opposed to his policies and his agenda.
During TEA Party gatherings the MSM looks long and hard for the one person who says something wrong or has an inappropriate sign. Those folks might belong to the gathering or not but are always used to broad brush the entire movement as racist haters. Blacks who attend the TEA Parties are looked at as sell outs or misguided people and they are asked about feeling out of place.
One such interview took place yesterday by an NBC reporter who asked a black man if he felt uncomfortable. His answer is priceless and is an example of the TEA Party members.
The answer was; “No, no, these are my people, Americans.”
And that is the rest of the story.
Never surrender, never submit.

Bye Bye Bart
Apr 11, 2010 Political
Looks like the continuous pressure for the TEA Party has created a casualty. Bart Stupak, the Democrat whose band of phony anti abortionists gave Pelosi the votes she needed, announced he would not be seeking reelection.
Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.), who played a central role in the health reform fight as the leader of anti-abortion Democrats, announced Friday afternoon that he will not run for reelection, saying he wanted to spend more time with his family. Without Stupak on the ballot, the seat becomes an immediate pickup opportunity for Republicans. Politico
He says it was not the TEA Party but he is wrong. That group was targeting (ooh, is that a reference to violence) his seat and was preparing to spend a lot of money in his district to defeat him.
The threats Stupak experienced were from the left. All his comments about phone calls in the middle of the night and threats to him and his wife came before he changed his mind.
In other words, they came from the left. But the MSM did not call for them to be arrested like they did when a few threats were made after the bill passed.
Stupak did not receive threats after he changed his vote, he received phone calls cussing him out. The threat to him was the TEA Party and he was afraid to lose his seat in an election. He said he was not afraid, but he was.
If he had been thinking about retiring for some time then he could have voted no and not had to worry about retaliation from Obama and Pelosi. He did not decide to quit until the TEA Party turned up the heat.
There will be more to come. As the TEA Party turns up the heat on the vulnerable Democrats.
It will be a bloodbath in November.
Never surrender, never submit.

As If They Were Not Already Doing This
Apr 10, 2010 Political
There is a group, Crash The Party, that is publicly announcing that it wants to crash TEA Parties and exaggerate the stereotype the MSM has painted for the group. The group wants to infiltrate and make the TEA Party look “more” racist and “more” ignorant.
This group is acting like this is new. Plenty of Democrat/liberal/progressive operatives have been in the TEA Party protests and have acted ignorant to portray the Party as bad. This has been going on for quite some time because the left knows that if a person screams a bad word or shows up with a racist sign, the MSM will say that this is a Party member and paint the entire party as having the same views.
Remember, it was the left that beat up a black TEA Party member and called him the N word. This was basically ignored by the MSM. It was actual violence and actual racism and it was ignored because the left’s goons in SEIU were the ones doing it. When TEA Party members started legally carrying firearms to the events the physical attacks stopped. The attacks by media did not as those with guns were called racists. The MSM cropped out the person carrying a gun to show the world the racist there.
Turns out he was a black guy…
This propaganda from state run media is what we are up against with this regime in office.
So Crash The Party can act like it is doing something new but the left and its sock puppets in the media have been doing this all along.
But now there is proof that people are doing it.
How convenient. From now on, any ignorant stuff at a TEA Party event can be blamed on a Crash The Party member. Just say it was one of those guys.
It has been one of those types all along but now we have it in writing.
I wonder if stimulus money from the regime was used to fund the group or if it came from their lord and master, George Soros…
Never surrender, never submit.

Who Are The Racists?
Apr 6, 2010 Political
The left is pretty quick to scream racism regardless of whether it actually exists or not. Disagree with Obama, racist. Disagree with health care reform, racist, member of the TEA Party, racist. They see racism everywhere that a conservative walks but are blind to the racism that exists among their ranks.
Let me be clear, there is no place for racism from either party or from any individual or group in this country. We are a nation of diverse people which is one of our greatest strengths. This nation is perhaps one of the only ones in the world where so many different kinds of people live together and we achieve so much because of our diversity.
There is also no room for the phony calls of racism as a weapon to silence dissent. During Health Care Sunday in Washington DC the race card was used after Nancy Pelosi and members of the Congressional Black Caucus attempted to provoke TEA Party members. When that did not work they fabricated an incident of racism. There were claims that black lawmakers were spat upon and called the N word (15 times no less). There is absolutely no video or audio evidence that this happened. It appears to be a coordinated effort among different factions to fabricate the entire thing in order to marginalize the TEA Party members. Doug Ross has the time line of a TEA Party smear.
What is not fabricated is the absolute hatred of any black conservative. Blacks who happen to be conservative are called Oreos, Uncle Toms and sell outs. They are viewed as having left the Democrat plantation and as people who betrayed the Democrats and their race.
They’ve been called Oreos, traitors and Uncle Toms, and are used to having to defend their values. Now black conservatives are really taking heat for their involvement in the mostly white tea party movement—and for having the audacity to oppose the policies of the nation’s first black president.
“I’ve been told I hate myself. I’ve been called an Uncle Tom. I’ve been told I’m a spook at the door,” said Timothy F. Johnson, chairman of the Frederick Douglass Foundation, a group of black conservatives who support free market principles and limited government. Breitbart
Black conservatives are embracing the TEA Party movement and feel at home among the mostly white crowd because they know that the people there do not care about race and that we all, as AMERICANS, share the same goal.
The hatred and the racism comes from the left as they work to marginalize black conservatives. My good friend Lloyd Marcus is a black conservative and he has been attacked from the left because of his beliefs. I am proud to call him my friend and know he is firm in his beliefs.
Another black conservative who is comfortable among the TEA Party members is Angela McGlowan. She is running for Congress in Mississippi’s First Congressional District and I think she will be a welcome addition to the Congress. If you are interested in learning more about her or contributing to her campaign, her website is here.
The American landscape is changing because of the radical Obama regime in DC. He promised us change and now it looks like that change is more black conservatives running for office.
They will certainly get the support of conservatives. I don’t expect liberals to support them but I do wonder how long it will be before the left starts spewing their racist rants about them.
And they say conservatives are racists.
Never surrender, never submit.

Where Is Pelosi To Denounce This?
Mar 30, 2010 Political
Nancy Pelosi was all weepy one day discussing the terrible rhetoric that she hears and stated that she has heard it in the past and it led to violence. Of course, the violence she was talking about was the murder of Harvey Milk and George Moscone in San Francisco. The murderer, Dan White, was a Democrat and it was over a political dispute involving White’s job.
So Pelosi made this big deal in order to marginalize those opposed to the current administration’s actions. These TEA Party members are some violent folks, you know.
Except at every TEA Party event, there have been no confirmed reports of violence involving them. Some of the TEA Party members have been attacked by the other side but the members themselves have not resorted to violence even though the left is provoking them in hopes of making them turn violent.
Since this is obviously not working, the left has resorted to manufacturing violence. At the ceremony where members of the Congressional Black Caucus walked arm in arm to the Capitol several claimed they were spat upon and that they were called the N word. There is no evidence that these incidents took place. So far no video has surfaced to show that it happened. If that evidence existed we would have seen it non stop on the MSM. Olberman would loop it and play it for the entirety of his show.
It did not happen. Andrew Breitbart however, is offering a cash reward (now up to $100,000) for video evidence that it did. I think his money is safe.
So this gets play in the MSM but once calls for evidence go out they have nothing. What next? Take a small number of calls threatening violence and couple them with a few acts of vandalism and blame them on the TEA Party and right wingers. There is no way of knowing who did this, only speculation. The very left that calls people Islamophobes for saying that a Muslim was involved in a bombing incident are quick to indict the right for acts that could have been done by anyone.
If black lawmakers will invent a racist story to advance the party line then it is not beyond reason that the left was involved in these incidents in order to pin the blame on the right.
Make no mistake, the people who committed the vandalism and who made the threats need to be found and dealt with appropriately. But let’s find them and determine ideology before we make claims. Even then, the nut jobs involved are the only ones responsible.
For real violence, Andrew Breitbart tells of Harry Reid supporters who threw eggs at the TEA Party express bus and threatened him with harm. Since we must apply the same standard, I will need some evidence that this happened so if anyone has video, please post it. [See update below]
We do know that the left is engaged in many acts of violence and vandalism. They slash tires, break windows (sometimes their own party’s), and bite off fingers.
Sometimes they even have members of the New Black Panther Party stand outside polling places with nightsticks intimidating voters.
But the violence claim is aimed (is aimed a word that incites violence) at TEA Party members who have been peaceful.
This is by design because they know they are in trouble and need to marginalize the opposition if they hope to avoid a bloodbath in November.
Let’s keep our powder dry (oops, another phrase linked to violence) and focus on our agenda. Don’t be goaded into violence.
This is what they want.
And the last thing we want to do is give them what they want.
UPDATE: I asked for it and I got it. The video that shows eggs hitting the TEA Party bus, a guy holding an egg and a moron saying it was TEA Party people who threw the eggs is now available. There is also a man threatening Andrew Breitbart, he says that if Breitbart does not leave “I am going to jail today.” So it looks like Breitbart backed up his claims with video. Can the Congressional Black Caucus do the same with regard to the alleged racist remarks and spitting directed at them?
Never surrender, never submit.
