At last someone has said what many of Americans have been whispering since the Obama campaign
If you look at the signs at the Tea Bag march or any of the right wing rallies the pictures and the words from the right wing is not so much about the Health care reform it is a deep seated hate for Obama. The hatred is not of the Democratic Party it is fear that the perceived power the so called great white race has lost its grip. Do not get me wrong it is not all white people it is the ones that are racists at the core.
I have said for years America is extremely racist the laws just pushed the racist actions underground so that on the surface the atmosphere seemed calm but under was a turbulent dangerous fringe that are now bubbling to the surface.
The republicans have created an atmosphere that they now must deal with. They will not separate themselves from it because the fringe has become the base. Corporations like Freedom Now who organized the disruptions at the so called health care debates have created a toxic environment where there are no respect or rules. The media has assisted with the creation of this atmosphere by giving air time to the wing nut fringe and keeping them in the news cycle. One of the organizations that helped finance the Teabag march on Washington on its website is calling for an all out armed revolution against the government and state separation as they quote the civil war did not end it was just a cease fire..
Not only the wing nut fringe is believers in the civil war but members of congress and many politicians agree also The Party of Lincoln is dead and will never be the same, they are loosing members and voters at volume number we are living in a very dangerous time I pray God Bless America . I also am going to keep my powder dry.

POTUS Carter brought some things out when saying the far right wing of the GOP are doing things that are out of line and some cases almost over racial overtones. Let’s not forget the POTUS Carter came from time where if you had to use the facilities there was “Men-Women and Colored.” It was a time of segregation.
ReplyDeleteThe party of POTUS Lincoln is long since gone. In fact it disappeared somewhere between 1900 and 1925.
