Comment on what narcissism means to me… by Matthew Milam

Perhaps this is similar to what you are saying, but I believe part of the problem in politics is that alot of people expect others to care. (maybe that is what you are saying and I’m repeating myself). We vote for people to do the caring and acting out the things we citizens should do ourselves. Same with the police and the schools.

We expect everyone else to do everything else so that we can relax and chill. This is especially true I think in the black community (I am black BTW) where people complain about crime and death in their communities, but would rather let the killers in their community go free because they don’t want drama in their lives.

It’s a complex problem indeed.

Comment on the black tea partier… by Rosetta James

you are so right on every level. first of all, the tea partiers really do give tea parties a bad name; before, when you heard the words “tea party”, visions of cute, crystal Victorian cups and saucers would come to mind, along with pretty pastries and little sugar blocks [one would not dare use those awful packets of sugar given out a McDonald's]. but, now when you hear the words “tea party”, if you’re black, you immediately think Ku Klux Klan. Clearly, they are not readers because the first tea party was against another COUNTRY for taxing the colonies. This group never distinguished between “taxation without representation” and “Obama” because whatever Obama says/does, they are against it even if it is something that would help them immensely such as health care. They would rather die with their Klan robes on and tea bags hanging from their hoods than to accept anything from Obama even if it meant beinging them back to life. The non-reader thing is proven again in their constant misspellings on their signs. One woman wrote “AMENSTY” for ‘AMNESTY”, only one example out of many, many grammatical and spelling errors on their signs. They paint Hitler mustaches on Obama because they know that THEY ARE THE REAL RACISTS so they throw the first punch by calling everyone who is against THEM a racist. The Tea Party people emanated from Obama’s win which they never expected. Imagine their calling themselves PATRIOTS, while praying that Obama’s plea to have the 2012 Olympics in Chicago would fall on deaf ears and he’d FAIL. They were ecstatic when the 2012 Olympics were awarded to Rio de Janeiro!!!!!! How can a patriot be GLAD that America lost to Rio — and still call himself a PATRIOT????? And, last, I agree with your mention of infiltrating the Tea Partiers because that was the ONLY way the Ku Klux Klan was caught out there; the FBI had to actually become MEMBERS of the Klan in order to convict them of an actual crime. One FBI man was actually with the Klan when they killed the civil rights worker,Viola Luizzo!!!! We also need to organize and actually go to the events where tea partiers gather just to show that there is opposition to them. Looking forward to a response.

I almost joined the tea party because I thought it was a party that drank tea. I’ve since then learned the truth about the party and still think I may join them to sabotage them from within. It’s all apart of my master plan (insert evil villain laugh here).
