I think they are afraid the Tea Party might lead to the nomination of such fringe candidates that the corporate agenda will be imperiled. I think it's like the friction that long has existed between the "pro business" GOP and the pro lifers. The GOP has courted the Tea Party, but I suspect they now are concerned about the TP's strength--and the fact the TP seems serious about things like debt reduction, which the business crowd doesn't really care about. Heck, the business crowd and the pro war crowd built the debt, its theirs.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-63628059711571737242011-09-16T07:38:51.147-05:002011-09-16T07:38:51.147-05:00republicans can't stand the tea party?

The democratic party is referred to as the N loving party, and white folks would rather die than be called that. As a matter of fact they would rather lose an election than stand up for the rights of black folks. I'm not including brown folks or our LBGT gay brothers and sisters in the mix because they are deemed to be acceptable, where blacks are not.<br /><br />Great post LS.

You raise so...Thanks for a thoughtful comment, Rob. You raise some great points. I wonder how much Obama really understands the civil rights struggle--and what it means to Americans, of all colors.<br /><br />Close to home, I wonder how much Obama cronies Artur Davis and Abdul Kallon understand about the civil rights struggle. Kallon keeps a low profile, but he is perhaps Obama's most important appointee here, and I've seen evidence that he is an absolute joke as a judge--a complete tool for his former employer, Bradley Arant. Will be writing much more about that. <br /><br />The general public has no idea how bad a judge Abdul Kallon is. I sort of expect screw ups from an old-fart Reagan appointee like Bill Acker. But Kallon is every bit as bad as Acker or any other right wing flunky.<br /><br />Why is Kallon so bad? I think it's because of the issues you raise. He has no clue about American history and the civil rights struggle. Neither he nor Obama seem to have the slightest appreciation for the U.S. Constitution.<br /><br />Count me as one AL progressive who definitely will not be voting for Obama.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-10790230439065234392011-09-15T12:36:43.517-05:002011-09-15T12:36:43.517-05:00I'm afraid that many folks from my generation ...I'm afraid that many folks from my generation didn't take our history classes seriously enough. My teachers & professors got the message across to me about the Civil & Humans Rights struggles of the 50s & 60s. When former President of the Alabama State Bar, Fred Gray, came to Jones School of Law & autographed my copy of "Bus Ride to Justice" I eagerly devoured the text. Gray who could not gain admission to a law school in Alabama went to Ohio's Case Western Reserve & tricked the racist President of the Bar at that time into sending him the study materials for the bar by mail.<br /><br />Gray was the Attorney for MLK & Rosa Parks. He argued the cases that overturned segregation & voter suppression in Alabama. Gray warned us that the new discrimination is insidious in its nature because it is based on economics & it catches not only the majority of Blacks, but the Poor White as well. <br /><br />I just don't understand why Poor Whites who have been knocked out of the Middle Class are willing to buy into the Tea Party story & vote against their own economic interests in order to keep the majority of Blacks & Hispanics off balance & on the run. White People are convinced their Rich White "friends" are going to reach down & help them after the Blacks & Hispanics have been sufficiently subdued, but they are in for a major shock! Poor & White is the new Black.Robby Scott Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08625575128616865817noreply@blogger.com
