Saw a recent Facebook post from Raj in regards to the Tea Party. Interesting conversation around the vitriol generated by this group and some of their recent 1st amendment selections.

Raj – The racist core of the Tea Party movement is obvious to everyone except the media. It’s pretty obvious what they mean when they say they want to “take their country back”.

Demonstrators outside the U.S. Capitol , angry over the proposed health care bill, shouted Saturday at

I don’t exactly see the Tea Party singing ‘Kumbaya’ and running out to compassionately seek opinions of the local Native American Tribes, Latinos, Blacks or any other group that doesn’t look like them and think like them.

To them, these groups are stereotypes out to steal America’s riches through draconian measures like health care reform that is surely a precursor to enslavement, the forceful takeover of land or the silencing of their voice in the land they raise their children in.

I don’t get why they don’t come out and say what’s really on their mind instead of hiding behind their weakly fabricated arguments. Let’s be real, someone in that crowd finally said what I’ve had a suspicion they were thinking all along.

I like so many others have been a huge fan of the new President, Barack Obama. Unlike many though, my wary eyes are beginning to twitch. Is Obama quietly moving to consolidate an unprecedented amount of political power and vest it in his personage vis-a-vis the Presidency?

The idea follows that Obama has inherited extraordinary difficulties. His challenges come dressed in Jihadist mantra’s, main street prayers, fat Wall Street mattresses and the “the worst financial crisis since the depression.’ If Bush’s legacy re-educated us on anything, it should have been that extraordinary circumstances which generate anxiety and stress is the play ground of power moves. The use of scare tactics allowed Bush and the Republicans to ram The Patriot Act, The War on Terrorism and the first round of TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) down our wallets.

If this holds true, Obama will have a banner year.
