It is not political in the partisan sense, but rather down a policy line that just happens to demarcate liberals from conservatives.
In my heart I know that the Republican Tea Party of 2010 is a party led by bigots and racists who have the financial backing and media intelligence to marginalize and oppress minorities through coded hate.
One politician that I follow in order to see what is being done for the folks who live along the MLK Blvds of America is Rep. James Clyburn, D-SC. This is from a press release that went out yesterday.
This "code" is necessary so that certain people (a significant segment of white Christian folk) who would not otherwise be racists will at least be complicit in voting for policies throughout America that will, at the end of the day, have the following outcomes:
- gut the inner-city education budgets,
- strip cities of the funding to revitalize blighted neighborhoods,
- and favor the zero-sum thinking where all the good jobs would go to Americans that are already in a position of advantage.
- (updated: November 2010) There were 111 sitting or hopeful Tea Party / GOP candidates who pledged to abolish the Department of Education in the next congress, if they take power.
