30 years of Tea Party dominance.

Containing
nothing but factual elements, an
MSNBC-aired statement by Rep. Frederica Wilson
(D-FL) could never be misconstrued as a race-baiting,
blame-gaming, leftist talking points-inspired diatribe.

"When you look at African
American males, 40% of them are unemployed, those under 30
years of age. I understand exactly the entire nation must
be involved in this recovery but the black community is
experiencing a great recession. That's what we're
experiencing.
And all of the growth in the
past 30 years, we see it slipping away. From home
ownership, the middle class; it's slipping away from our
hands. And it has a lot to do with many issues. Racism,
shipping jobs overseas, access -- no access to
technology. You know, the digital divide is there and
many of the new jobs that's what it requires. So, we
have a problem." -

That would be
the same blameworthy racism, of course, that enabled both Frederica
Wilson and Barack Obama to be elected; the same racism that
spawned affirmative action. The same blameworthy racism that relaxed
mortgage credit-qualification criteria and which led to the
collapse of banks, the Fannie/Freddie debacle and the
underwater/foreclosure crisis to which the congresswoman
alluded.
Congresswoman Wilson also said
"the real enemy is the Tea
Party."
That would be
the same blameworthy Tea Party, of course, that was formed long before the Obamas
moved into the White House. The same Tea Party that has exerted all of its Astroturf muscle and virtually unlimited
fat-cat donor funds to insure that jobs would be shipped
overseas and that a digital divide would be created.
It is absolutely no coincidence that, despite not having seated a
single member of the House or Senate until January 2011, the
overwhelmingly powerful Tea Party was nonetheless able to
guarantee the failure of each and every economic program ever
launched by the Obama administration and/or the Democrat
majorities in Congress. It is the same Tea Party, of
course, that has completely usurped the power of the presidency,
the Senate and both major parties simply by proposing totally
insane concepts one day and deviously terroristic ideas the next.
Even major
critics like Ms. Wilson stand in awe of the Tea Party's uncanny
ability to know exactly when to be nutty or scary in order to
make their dictatorial powers work to the administration's
greatest disadvantage. And how the heck do they keep being
so consistently racist with their fingers simultaneously stuck
in so many political pies?
The Tea Party has
become so omnipresent that you've got to wear a shiny red cowboy
hat and a giant squirting flower just to get noticed. Only
then might one be allowed to check in as a detractor
and only on MSNBC, at that.
Certainly, you can
never give the Tea Party too much credit for the dastardly deeds
they have been able to accomplish over the last 30 years.
