Tea Party blues...

[Today we welcome back conservative writer AlwaysRight.  If you would like to contribute, please email peopleforpolity@gmail.com!]

I don't think I've been called a racist more times in my life than when Obama took office.  Is that because I've all of a sudden become a bigot?  Or is it because people have gotten overly sensitive and protective because a black man is in office?

Nah…probably because of the cross burning incident with my lesbian Jew neighbors with the hispanic/black mixed child.

They just REFUSE to stop parking in the damn street.

Side note:  I don't use the term "African American” unless you are from Africa…which my wife is.  She is more African than most black people in this country and refuses to use the term.

And there is nothing wrong with black, as there is nothing wrong with white, so don't start.  We're all American.  People get a kick out of it when I call her an "African American" in public.

You see, when Obama took office, it was a landmark day in our countries history.  It really was.  First black man to be president…and although I didn't vote for him, it was a key point in our nation's timeline.

But it was also a turning point in the way we are used to critiquing politicians.  Especially for us white folk.

 No longer can we say we don't like the president…or hate the president (I don't)…or hate his policies (I do)…or don't like the way he talks…or that he smokes…or that he went to Harvard if you're a Yale grad.

Ok, that last one I made up.

No, because that is all racist now.  

I'm sure it has nothing to do with him rising from community organizer in the most crooked political city in the nation, to a 3 year term as senator, to POTUS.

He never ran a business, never served our country, was friends with a terrorist…but we're somehow racist for questioning his ability.

Makes sense.

See, the left has decided that instead of assuming that most people are dissatisfied with our president, because, well, they just don't like the way he runs our country, they've taken it upon themselves to help a brotha out and throw down the race gauntlet.

Oh no you didn't.

I'm absolutely disgusted with the way people have been fed this notion that because you're a "conservative" or "Republican" that somehow makes you a racist by default.

Does being a liberal or Democrat make you stupid and poor or a hippie that smokes his weight in pot every day?

Didn't think so.

Yes, there are racists out there.  No doubt.  From the backwoods rednecks to the urban thugs, it's out there.  

But here is my take on that.

When you go to a baseball game, the overwhelming majority of people at the game are there to enjoy themselves and watch some baseball peacefully.  However, there is that small minority that has a few too many chardonnays, screaming at the tops of their lungs, scaring small children around them that ruin it for everyone.  We ignore the way most the people behave and focus on the few imbeciles.

To assume that the Tea Party is somewhat responsible for the debt ceiling mess is liberal madness.

First off, they don't even have the numbers to really sway any vote (in fact, they should be commended for actually standing for what they believe in and not caving like so many from our government).

Secondly, more Democrats voted against the measure than Republicans, so why aren't people like Kenna Toney going after those 95 democrats that are "havin’ a little fun" at the expense of our country???

I ask you, Ms. Toney, where is your outrage with them??

You lefties can't possibly think that a handful of Tea Party candidates are responsible?

This is the same party that is constantly dismissed by the left, called “Tea Baggers,” and have left pundits blowing off the size of their rallies…

Well, which is it? Are they the racists controlling the world or just insignificant Baggers that are not to be taken seriously?

You liberals are more confusing than a football bat.

You know what? You're right. It's gotta be racism. Janeane Garofalo said so.

And who wouldn't believe the star of blockbusters like "Mystery Men" and…..well….

She recently claims that Herman Cain is paid by the Tea Party to run so it could deflect the racism…blah, blah, blah, so it's gotta be true.

Nothing like having some white, washed up, stuck-in-the-90's, coffee house waitress lookalike telling black liberals that a black man was sent from the evil Tea Party headquarters to make them love conservatism.  Just re-reading that makes me piss my pants a little bit.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that there may actually be black conservatives out there.

WHAT?!!?!  Why this just can't be true!  They must be traders or Jim Crows!

Actually, more blacks are stepping up (the Young Minorities Conservative group) and starting to realize that the liberal party is simply using them for votes…as they've literally done nothing for them…other than keep them pissed off at Tea Party racists of course.

Sadly, this is now the liberal excuse for the poor job Obama has done…so far.

Racism is no longer the overwhelming problem it once was.  It just isn't.  This is not a racist country.  And it's certainly not a big enough problem to affect the job of the POTUS no matter what Al Sharpton, MSNBC, Rev Wright, Kanye West, or Jesse Jackson would want you to think.

Side note:  One must realize that without the pockets of racism, The good Rev Jesse and Al would be outta work.

They need racism, as strange as it sounds.  Therefore, every opportunity they get, they have to blast it all over the place.  Obama was the PERFECT opportunity for those two and much of the race baiters and poverty pimps out there.  It's like Kwanza year round!

Keep in mind that Obama received over 95% of the black vote; McCain only received 60% of the white vote…guess the Klan was in Maui that weekend.

Many voted for the first time and openly admitted that the sole reason they voted for Obama was, in fact, because of the color of his skin (some of the video is absolutely priceless…the "free gas" lady is classic).

Voting for someone BECAUSE of their skin color is now ok?

So it's ok to use race when it benefits you.  I got it now.  Glad we cleared that up.

I have a friend of mine that said it best (over beers on a hot night down in Texas):

The liberal party is the most racist movement I've ever seen or heard.  It’s a bunch of white people telling me that I can do this and do that…yet everything they stand for is about keeping minorities reliant on the government and keeping them from being truly successful.

This is why I vote Republican; they only ask that you take care of yourself.

And he's black.  I know, right?

Sounds like a racist to me.  Somebody call Janeane Garafalo!
