Please keep in mind I�m not a religious fanatic, people who�ve two-way conversations with the baby Jesus or chit-chat with harp totin� Angels named Jerome . . . these people frighten me.� I abide by the simple Thomas Paine adage; The World is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.

With that simple-ass idea in mind . . . it�s my biblical thought the New/Ole Republican TEA Party ought to �twink� a verse from the Good Book, again - since America�s� stole in the name of the Lord a few times already - add a little wrinkle . . . then adopt and embrace the� sentiment �I am not my brother�s keeper�� for it seems so-very apropos. It appears to fit; just like kerosene on a dry pine-wood cross.

I�m gonna ask Mr Douglass to set-the-table for this piece of my mind;

Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is in an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob, and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe. . . - Frederick Douglass, April 1886.

Here�s what we know; The GOTP (Grand Ole Tea Party) has few qualms about letting sick poor people die on the streets. They�ve no problem despising gay soldiers over in the Arabian desert exchanging their blood for Black Gold . . .� so self-righteous Rednecks can express their blind hate for everybody not like them back here at home.

See this is why Governor Ricky �Bobby� Perry is cheered by TEA Baggers for dishing-out the death penalty without reservation nor hesitation, because they�re representative of the stone-cold, heartless Vulcans back home at the ranch,� so-called �Patriots� who could give-a-you-know-what if this nation commits another round of orderly, organized form of genocide . . . to throw out the human trash.

As Morgan Freeman just laid out; Tea Party policy towards Barack Obama �shows the weak, dark, underside of America.�

Sadly, the Troy Davis execution illustrated, in stark Black n� White it�s clear these self-proclaimed Christian soldiers, defenders of . . . White life could care less about executing Black men who�ve not committed the crime their being strung up for.

The story of America bares that out.

What�s so damning is this greed driven mindset seems to peculate out of those who�ve squeezed the most out-of what unbridled capitalism and materialism seems to offer. It�s those who�ve an monopoly on resources, options and choices who reject the whole concept of ��all for one, one for all.�

Digest this; Society is composed of two classes;they who have more dinner then appetite, and they who have more appetite then dinners., 1832, Mirabeau .

Astounding, 2012 . . . 1832, gee how only so-slightly has society, civilization changed, progressed, moved forward. And who�s holding back progress . . . the rich. The American� masses can�t benefit in any form shape nor manner - unless the right White guys get rich . . .the cure for cancer or elevated high speed monorails connecting Seattle with Rio can�t be achieved unless the Koch brother�s or the Coors Family gets a chunk.

These bastards won�t put worker ants and bees back to work constructing this centuries Hoover Damn or Golden Gate Bridge� unless the right aristocrats get rich off the project.

Today�s political� hypocrisy sits in the form of plain greed; as far as the TEA Party�s concerned. I got mine, you get yours.

Congress is going rounds n� rounds as you eyeball this, battling, debating those representing the TEA Party, if there�s any taxes which� �mainstream USA,� i.e.,� White America - from the aristocrats and the investor class to middle-class suburbia and the trailer park residents at the bottom- is willing to contribute, �share in assisting even natural disaster victims . . .

The answer is� a resounding no -� not unless money is slashed to Black and Latino welfare queens in Detroit, Chi-Town, Memphis, Newark . . ..�

That�s what TEA Party is arguing about . . . .

However the same tit-for-tat approach is not adhered-to when funding America�s ever expanding empire. Those highly delusional� grandiose thoughts of Manifest Destiny remain unchecked allowing the imperialistic activities of an entrenched, elitist US military/tech/industry complex� growing endlessly at the expense of we, the little people.

We the little people can�t engage in legitimate dialog about the ruthless, cutthroat class warfare being waged by the haves, the landlords against the �have nots�� without citing the obvious first; the Thurston Howell III e-lites have become filthy rich via monopolizing and privatizing profits while socializing their personal losses - placing the financial burden squarely upon the working - those already abandoned and betrayed long ago - in 19 70�s n� 80�s� by the exodus of breadwinner jobs - the deliberate fleecing of the worker�s slice of the America Dream - that whole concept of earned deserved security and stability.

The ability to inherent and pass-down material/capital wealth, create a family-base for generations to build-upon has been strategically stripped from America�s little people. To do this unions had to be broken, and they have been. Trade schools are of little use - the jobs are half-way at the other 3 corners of the globe, while the remaining blue-collar workplace� have been undermined by desperate labor seekers tactically allowed in from South of the boarder.

Just more of us fightin� over the crumbs.

But the stingiest aspect of� What the TEA Party movement is seeking to do is the removal of the yearning for knowledge and information; the dumbing down of an already dumb as a door knob dummies; dismantling and incapacitating public education while facilitating entertainment distractions, snuffing out intellectual curiosity.

What we�re witnessing with the advent of Obama . . . the recreation of the Council Of Conservative Citizens or the White Citizens Council in the form of TEA Party - which is little more then a last, finale, desperate movement to halt the horrific inevitable end White folks have feared since the early 1700�s. . . having to share, having to live-up to mythical high stadards of brotherhood they�ve never really believed in.
