So, I'm able to use the computer at home again after a couple of weeks, and what do I discover on the Internet? One of my state's Congressmen has just taken the maligning of Tea Partiers to a new level.
Congressman Andre Carson of Indiana's 7th District (the city of Indianapolis) made some comments about the Tea Parties, using racial terms such as “Jim Crow” and claiming Tea Partiers want to see blacks treated as second-class citizens and lynched. The reaction from those of us who consider ourselves Tea Partiers and the like was naturally one of outrage, and unsurprisingly, the Congressman's response has been unapologetic.
What Congressman Carson has done is no different than what many on the Left have tried to do: castigate and demonize the Tea Parties as racist and divisive. It's simply another example of egregious behavior on the part of people like Congressman Carson, and since I don't expect anything from him or the Democrats remotely resembling an apology (a genuine apology), I call upon all of you who consider yourselves Tea Partiers, 9/12'ers and genuine, freedom-loving, America-loving patriots to contact Speaker John Boehner and respectfully demand Congressman Carson be censured for his comments.
You can call the Speaker's office at (202) 225-0600 and if you wish to send an e-mail, click here. As for Congressman Carson and the rest of his ilk, I say, nuts to you.
