Tea Party Applauds Racist Remarks At Convention
February 8, 2010 · carl · Print This Article
The Tea Party movement seems to have found their head racist.
That’s the conclusion drawn by “unbiased journalist” Rachel Maddow of MSNBC.
And although I agree with her that making African-Americans take a literacy test as a means to keep them from voting was shameful, it is a thing of the past and she needs to get over it.
Tom Trancredo, on the other hand, makes an excellent point.
I, like Mr. Trancredo, have been advocating for years that people should be required to take a basic civics test before being allowed to vote, and I would add the requirement that the potential voter must not only have knowledge of where a candidate stands on particular issues, but if the candidates’ prior voting record reflects his or her current political rhetoric.
As far as restricting voting rights to people who can’t spell or speak the word “vote” in English, Mr. Trancredo and I are in complete agreement.
If someone is an illegal immigrant, they should not be allowed to vote.
And I don’t want to hear any self-righteous whining from you loony liberals, you know that it happens.
And for the immigrants who came to America in search of a better life for themselves and their children, if they don’t care enough about the country they felt was better than the one that they left to learn to speak, read and understand it’s native language, they they should not be given a voice on selecting the people who run it.

Apparently if your not a racist if you think black people can’t read in 2010??? What an idiot. I think a civics test for voting would be a good plan. How about we make people take the citizenship test that immigrants have to take to become citizens. If you can’t pass you can’t vote, and it can’t be racist an awful lot of minorities pass it every year.
One other thing. What’s the big deal about the T.E.A. party convention being “for profit.” I mean isn’t that what we believe in as teapartiers? Capitalism is good. Logical self-interest is moral. I think it would be hypocritical to expect the organizers to do it out of the kindness of their hearts or out of some sense of moral responsibility.
