The Racist President? Tea Party & Anti-Obama Opinions Have “Subterranean Agenda” Of Racism?
I am a proud member of the Tea Party Movement. I have been a part of the movement since the first Tea Party in February of 2009. With different people at different times, I have organized or hosted numerous Tea Parties in the Los Angeles area, attended by thousands of people across Southern California. I have put forth the concept of the Four Basics – the pillars that I believe the Tea Party is founded upon: The Constitution, Capitalism, Fiscal Responsibility and Smaller Government.
On my radio show, and my shows on PJTV, I have talked about the good and the problems of the Tea Party. I have talked about my unease regarding national Tea Party groups, as they seemingly try to take control of the movement. I oppose anyone who claims to be a leader of the Tea Party movement, as we (the millions upon millions of members across the nation) are the leaders. Yet I support and admire the constant vigilance of the members of this movement who combat the lies told about it on a daily basis by a Main Stream Media that hates its existence. Undaunted, the Tea Party movement continues to push forth the message that you can not spend your way into prosperity, that you can not spend money you don’t have, that Free Markets create free people and Government creates work – not jobs.
Yet, in all my Tea Party organizing, I never once asked a question about race. At my first Tea Party, on February 27th 2009, I worked with five other people whom I had never met before, and assembled a group of speakers whom I had never heard before. At no time did I ask about their race, nor their religion, nor their financial status, nor their sexual orientation. I asked if they believed in the Four Basics. Nothing else mattered. And for two years, nothing else has mattered to the vast majority of the Tea Party.
The same can not be said of President Obama, who is – without any qualifiers – completely consumed with race. A recent article in USNews.com highlights a new book by writer Kenneth T. Walsh. The book, Family of Freedom: Presidents and African Americans in the White House is meant to trace the ”…sometimes fraught history (of African Americans and the White House) from its roots all the way to the Barack Obama presidency.”
In the article, Walsh asks the President about his view on race as he took on the job of President:
The President’s response is that of a President who is focused on the task at hand. Focused on ensuring that laws are enforced, (not dropped for ideology, like the President recently did with DOMA) focused on reining in spending, (as opposed to the President’s massive and cartoon-like budget) focused on some version of a foreign policy (as opposed to, well, having no foreign policy what so ever.)
Yet, as the article continues, President Obama shows that race is all he can think about. President Obama was quoted from a dinner party he had in 2010, talking specifically about the Tea Party:
To start, President Obama doesn’t understand the underpinnings of the Tea Party. The President would have one think that Tea Parties started as a response to him. Untrue. The Tea Party is a response to Republicans who failed to provide counterbalance to out of control leftist spending, and became the big spenders themselves.
As for race, the President is simply lying. Every conversation about the Tea Party being racist is a lie. The Tea Party has never considered race in its push for less spending and smaller government. The Tea Party being about race is a construct of the hard-core progressives, and has never had any basis in truth. Back at the party (and President Obama loves to have parties!) another person gave their assesment of the Tea Party:
Again, a complete lie. My own activism did not start with the election of President Obama. It started with President Bush, former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and TARP – the Troubled Asset Relief Program – months before the election of 2008. I, along with millions of people across America, knew TARP was a mistake. When President Bush stated that he was going against Free Market principles to save the Free Market, we knew that was crazy. In my first activism ever, I created a site called NoBailouts.Ning.com. TARP was a disasterous plan, and did nothing to stimulate the economy. NoBailouts was my way of fighting the placing of debt on unborn generations. For those who didn’t know, Bush and Paulson are white. The conversation (from the Tea Party) has never been about race.
For over a year now, I have been discussing race as viewed by the political right and political left. The Right is color blind. They do not look at color, but at character. They are focused on your mind and your ideas. Your desires and your passions. The Left, however, is color-blinded. All they can see is race, and nothing can ever be honestly discussed, and no other idea ever given credence, once it (race or racism) is introduced into a conversation. Color is their crutch, the “race card” their way of getting out of every conversation, and preventing any conversation they feel is against their ideology.
President Obama is one of them. He relies on race when it fits his need. For President Obama (and Attorney General Eric Holder) race is used as a violent weapon to demean, to attack, to obfuscate and to keep you from engaging in honest conversation about subjects they don’t want you to talk about.
Obama Must Not Win.
