The race-baiting asshat is a peculiar species: devoid of actual ideas (or the brains to form them), they resort to wearing their ass for a hat, and blaming things they don’t like -or can’t explain- on racism. Another intriguing feature is they almost always have a big D (which in this case stands for Dumbass) behind their name. These days, with a flaming progressive president (who happens to be black) whose ideas just aren’t working, and a building resistance to the runaway spending that liberals and the free-stuff armies they represent like a lot, there are lots of opportunities for the race-baiting asshat to plant his ass firmly on his shoulders, and show the whole world just what he stands for.
Andre Carson (D-IN) put on his asshat this week, and made this proclamation:
“Some of these folks in Congress would love to see us as second-class citizens. Some of them in Congress right now of this tea party movement would love to see you and me … hanging on a tree,”
Naturally, no Democrat even thought to denounce Carson for his incredibly offensive and racist remarks. With him being of a favored class amongst liberals, he’s not subject to the “new civility” that the Petulant Boy-King Obama (*DfOaLG) and his lackeys have called for. As is always the case with the libs, their rules about things apply to the little people (that’s you and me), and never to them. They’re “above” that sort of thing, you know.
Anyway – some people did take offense at Carson’s remarks, and called him on it. This led to the standard liberal “non-apology” apology, in which the offender acknowledges that he did whatever it was that people said he did, but blames it on someone, or something else that was -of course- beyond his control. Here’s his statement in response to criticisms about the remarks:
“Well, I wasn’t talking about the entire tea party. I think the tea party is absolutely right when they call for increased transparency in government, when they call for a cutback on excessive government spending. I am deeply concerned about some elements of the tea party who are extremist and who have reflected a mentality going back to the John Birch society, going back to George Wallace’s Dixiecrats…There have been elements who have expressed, that have expressed deep hostilities toward African Americans, Latinos, immigrants as well, so I am concerned about those elements that are taking us off-track as a country…”
The supposed “extremist” elements to which he refers are essentially the product of myths promulgated by the leftmedia. Accusations about racially offensive signs and slurs uttered by Tea Party assemblages have been proven over and over to be false. Take five minutes and look it up. Wait – I did it for you.
Carson finishes up his little “apology” by offering this:
“I stand on the truth of what I spoke,” he said. “My intentions weren’t to hurt anyone or any group. I wanted to speak to the issues that concern me and the philosophical issues that concern me as it relates to certain leadership within the tea party organization, not the entire tea party, but certain elements that have concerned me deeply and for quite some time that I think should really re-evaluate what it means to be an American and we shouldn’t go along the path of taking America back to the ‘good old days’ because those days were not good for everyone.”
He obviously doesn’t understand anything about what the Tea Party wants for America, or “the truth.” What the Tea Party wants for America can be distilled to a couple of simple statements:
- Fiscal Responsibility: Fiscal Responsibility by government honors and respects the freedom of the individual to spend the money that is
the fruit of their own labor. A constitutionally limited government, designed to protect the blessings of liberty, must be fiscally responsible or it must subject its citizenry to high levels of taxation that unjustly restrict the liberty our Constitution was designed to protect. Such runaway deficit spending as we now see in Washington D.C. compels us to take action as the increasing national debt is a grave threat to our national sovereignty and the personal and economic liberty of future generations. - Constitutionally Limited Government: We, the members of The Tea Party Patriots, are inspired by our founding documents and regard the Constitution of the United States to be the supreme law of the land. We believe that it is possible to know the original intent of the government our founders set forth, and stand in support of that intent. Like the founders, we support states’ rights for those powers not expressly stated in the Constitution. As the government is of the people, by the people and for the people, in all other matters we support the personal liberty of the individual, within the rule of law.
- Free Markets: A free market is the economic consequence of personal liberty. The founders believed that personal and economic freedom were indivisible, as do we. Our current government’s interference distorts the free market and inhibits the pursuit of individual and economic liberty. Therefore, we support a return to the free market principles on which this nation was founded and oppose government intervention into the operations of private business.
But, when you view everything that happens through the filter of racism, there’s no way to see the light. In fact, for race-baiting asshats like Carson, and the perpetually idiotic Maxine Waters, the aims of the Tea Party represent a great threat: more freedom for individuals, and less power for the government means a reduction in the size of the free-stuff army that we’ve been building since the New Deal, and a reduction in the need for stooges like Carson and Waters to represent them.
