Another March on Washington

Germany - Neues Deutschland - Original Article (German)

This latest “March on Washington” is designed to be a political provocation and demonstration of power in a midterm congressional election year. Tens of thousands of ultra-conservative tea party members will demonstrate today at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. – on the same spot where Martin Luther King Jr. expressed his dream of equality for every citizen of “God’s own country” 47 years ago. The tea party is not an official political party but a loose, network-based movement that came into being after Barack Obama’s inauguration. It had its origins in the right wing of the Republican Party and just one target: the new President.

Democrat, liberal, black – that’s all just too much for people like TV personality Glenn Beck. God’s own rabble-rouser is currently the most well known mouthpiece for the tea party, but Sarah Palin, failed candidate for vice president, is also riding the wave of conservative frustration and anger that flows over the country with obvious racist overtones. Critics of today’s march rightly fear the denigration of great civil rights leader Martin Luther King.

Barack Obama is, in the eyes of many hate-filled tea partiers, “immoral” and “unpatriotic,” and they liken him alternatively to Hitler and Stalin. Even if these crude tea party tactics have no effect at the ballot box, they are already taking a massive toll on Republican candidates. John McCain’s slide to the extreme right in his campaign for reelection to the Senate is just one example.

    You shouldn’t believe every­thing the lib­er­als write about us, they are com­pletely off base. If you study our real his­tory, you will find that it is the con­ser­v­a­tive Repub­li­can party that was founded to oppose slav­ery. The con­ser­v­a­tive Repub­li­can party enacted civil rights that we have now back in the 1870’s. The lib­eral Demo­c­rat party was founded in 1854 to pro­tect slav­ery. After attain­ing a major­ity in Con­gress a decade after the civil war, it was the lib­eral Demo­c­rat party that repealed all of the his­toric civil rights leg­is­la­tion and enacted the Jim Crow laws result­ing in a cen­try of oppres­sion that the con­ser­v­a­tive Repub­li­cans fought the entire time. The lib­eral Demo­c­rat party founded, funded and directed the KKK to mur­der Repub­li­cans, black and white. You can see they have not changed at all. The suc­ces­sors to the KKK are Acorn and the SIEU. In fact the old mes­sage to minori­ties, “vote Demo­c­rat or else” was man­i­fest at a St. Louis tea party where black ven­dor Ken­neth Glad­ney was assaulted and wound up in the hos­pi­tal from injuries suf­fered at the hands of SIEU thugs. All of the vio­lence and racism at tea par­ties was cre­ated by lib­er­als either attack­ing patri­ots, or mas­quer­ag­ing as patri­ots and behav­ing reprehensibly.

    Planned Par­ent­hood was founded by lib­eral eugen­ics advo­cates whose objec­tive was to elim­i­nate blacks via abor­tion. Check the sta­tis­tics, blacks account for about 40% of abor­tion vic­tims yet only about 13% of the pop­u­la­tion. This is no acci­dent. Peo­ple look at the tea par­ties and don’t see enough blacks, well guess what, minor­ity means “minor­ity”. There are eas­ily 13% of blacks at tea parties.

    I sug­gest you stop lis­ten­ing to lib­eral Amer­i­can media and start research­ing his­tory. You will find a very dif­fer­ent picture.
