Yes, hermit, I have read your threads with great interest. But, I consider evidence not a blog or a he say she say situation. I want a registered member of the Tea Party say they are for "white power".

You see, I have spent time in rural America, as a dredlocked black male. I have met no racists yet.

I HAVE met down to earth people who waive when I drive by. Even the cops.

I voted for President Obama, of course. (Anything else is tantamount to Treason in my ethnic group). I was proud of America and what she could do.

Now, as a trader and someone with a portable skill, I see the plan to make ordinary workers subject to the State. As subject to a bankrupt State, we will have the honor of supporting these people.

I met a woman back in 1992 who told me, you are a liberal now, but you have drive, you will become a conservative. I gave her some dribble about poor people and the underprivileged, etc. Now, I realize that there is a certain group of people who will kill the golden goose.

I see the Tea Party as the only way to stop this.

Did I tell you I am black?

Yes, actually I do, I even educated my parents to it. The Frank-Dodd act throw out the baby with the bathwater.

If you work at Mickey D's, you should not be in a 100000 house. The purchaser of the house knows this. The lender does also, I am not letting them off the hook. But this is too much. Entrepreneurs should be allowed to fail. Our government spends too much time trying to protect us from ourselves.

Provide for the common defense
Promote the general warfare
Secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity

And leave us the hell alone!!

I did not respond to this.

I am also anti-abortion.

Masturbation? Really? This is a political issue?

Xenophobic....this is false, they are against Mexicans going over the border taking without giving. They receive services, do they pay taxes?

Disingenuous. Hard proof and I am sold.

Anti-Gay. Most Christians, Muslims and Jews are.

Racist. Proof. Real Proof.

Corporate sponsored? I have doubts. The Tea Party wants individualism. Corporations want collectivism. What corporations sponsor this?

Fox, is TV. TV is ratings. They are a business. They want to make money, I have no issue with that.

Am I hallucinating? Is this some weird alternative universe?

Again, I never said that the nutbirds represent the tea party. I just presented evidence of Tea party leaders and members engaging in bigotry, what it says about the tea party is for you to decide.

But to display those images indicates that you have an agenda as it relates to the tea party. Showing bigotry in the Tea Party is an attempt to cast dispersion, no?

If not please explain your choice of images, or were they merely a random assortment from random thoughts?
