'The Tea Party can go to Hell.  And I'll be happy to be the one to take them there.'  Rep Maxine Waters (D-CA)

'The Tea Party is the enemy.'  Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL)

'We have to keep the barbarians from the gate.'  Vice President Joe Biden

'We need to take out the son of a bitches.'  Teamster Leader James Hoffa Jr.

'The Tea Party wants to see blacks hanging from a tree.'  Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN)

'The Tea Party favors the 10th Amendment.  That's the slavery amendment.'  Jesse Jackson

Wow!

These are not exact quotes but they do accurately represent statements made by the aforementioned people over the last several days.  Just after Gabby Giffords was nearly killed by a leftist idiot in Tucson, President Obama took the occasion to lecture the nation about the lack of civility in the tone of our debate.  He admonished everyone for incendiary language and asked for reasoned discourse.  I actually agreed with this president this one time.  However, either the left did not get the message or the message only pertains to members of the Tea Party, people like me.     

The political left and their partners in the media continually lecture the Tea Party in civility after unproven claims are made about our treatment of our political opponents.  Yet there are surprisingly few complaints about the proven rhetoric of those on the left.  Those who objected to the stretched nuance of a target on a map for a political campaign are sadly silent as those with whom they politically agree make crass and inappropriate statements directed toward their adversaries. 

Representative Maxine Waters wishes I would go to Hell and states she is the person who could take me there.  I have no doubt that Maxine knows the route.  Even a moment with Maxine on my television is like Hell on Earth.  However, I have other plans upon departing this earth and they do not include going anywhere where I might have to suffer through Maxine Waters for an eternity.  I will let Maxine go to Hell by herself. 

I had never before seen nor heard Representative Frederica Wilson.  My first reaction was that this woman in the ridiculous red vinyl cowboy hat surely could not represent a Congressional District but apparently, she does.  She made the above statement in front of a racist organization called the Congressional Black Caucus.  How can Representative Wilson or any representative expect to be taken seriously when they continue to derive their identity from their color and not from their character, their integrity, their leadership, or their ideas?  

Vice President Joe Biden was speaking before a Labor Rally in Cincinnati when he assailed the Tea Party and told those in his audience that they were the vanguard who must keep the Barbarians at the gate.  When I am wont to compare the peaceful demonstrations of the many Tea Parties to the consistently belligerent rants of those who attend Democrat events I am mystified that it is they who are calling us Barbarians.      

It was James Hoffa Jr. who declared war on the Tea Party and vowed to "take out the son of a bitches" referring to the Tea Party at a Labor Rally in Detroit that included President Barack Obama.  Indeed, Hoffa was introducing Obama when he went into this bellicose tirade.  Imagine a Democrat labor rally in Detroit.  What irony.  What better backdrop than Detroit to demonstrate the fruits of the unholy alliance between Labor and the Democrat Party.  Look to Detroit to see what this alliance has sown and what they now reap.  (A special thank you to Rush Limbaugh for his raising this irony on September 6.)  

Representative Andre Carson deserves the biggest award for pure insanity by his offensive comment before the Black Caucus when he said we in the Tea Party would like to see blacks hanging from a tree.  I would suggest that Mr. Carson limit himself to his own motivations rather than trying to superimpose his over mine.    

Jesse Jackson can usually be depended upon to utter some racial statement of sheer lunacy.  For him to refer to the 10th Amendment as the slavery amendment demonstrates total, complete ignorance.  However, what else is new?  No, it is not the Constitution but the Democrat Party that more clearly represents slavery.  Democrats have made slaves of their black constituents around this country for more than fifty years by their continual give-away programs and promises whose purpose is to keep these black communities in poverty and dependent on Democrats and their strength in the Congress.

Speaking as a Tea Party member, I do not "hate" any group of people based upon their color, their religion, their ethnicity, or even their politics.  I do disrespect hypocrisy.  I disrespect people intent on making others dependent upon them.  I also disrespect people who make their living off the desperate cries for help from their supposed constituents but who never improve the living or working conditions of those people because to do so would deny them the preservation of their personal power base.  So yes, I do disrespect those whose comments led off this article.  This is the scum of current day politics and President Obama's refusal to repudiate their statements makes him no better.
