Share a little tea with- - -

- - - Oh how I wish it was Goldie and not Mrs. Palin’s party. I’m getting quite fed up with the hysteria, practically at a national level stirred up by the mouth that bored. Numbers or ratings falling behind? Pick a minority and start bashing. In fact I think that ole Sarah and her starry eyed following should smoke a little of that tea. I can’t help but to recall the movie ’The Russians are coming, The Russians are coming’- with Alan Arkin at the helm of a Russian submarine that inadvertently slips into a New England, Atlantic seaboard town causing panic and mayhem among the villagers. Only now the mantra is’The Mexicans are coming, The Mexicans are coming’- close your windows, lock your doors, talk to your boss and make sure your job is secure-the Mexicans are taking away our jobs, invading our hospitals and stealing from the State coffers to acquire health benefits. Seal the borders, call out the national guard build new fences and barriers. Wasn’t there another country that built a fence/’wall’ around a city to prevent passage? South of San Diego there is a fence that runs all the way into the Pacific Ocean to prevent the immigrants from crossing into the United States and steal American jobs. ALL the way into the Pacific!!-I challenge and defy anyone to provide legitimate and concrete evidence that they lost their job to an illegal immigrant. They won’t, they can’t, they’re too busy being buffaloed by the klutz from the Klondike spewing out her vile and thinly veiled racist remarks seemingly targeting illegal immigration, but in reality aimed at Pennsylvania avenue. What an embarrassment my generation has turned out to be- It wasn’t that long ago that we marched in Selma, Birmingham, and Washington DC to protest the very same thing that we’re part of now. Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and Jan Brewer- these people are dangerous and to be avoided . Their hateful rhetoric is NO match for the prose and verse that we read and heard in times past.---“like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man’s sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true”--- Martin Luther King Jr. Lincoln Memorial, Washington DC, August. 1963 . Yes, he had a dream- that all his hippie followers would take their collective sense of values, post them on Ebay and sell out to the highest bidder‘. One of the gubernatorial candidates for the state of California is promising to call out the National Guard and send them to the border if elected. Looks like Black Jack Pershing and Pancho Villa ride again. So think back, before you let Palin, Beck, Limbaugh, and Brewer work you into a state of social stupor, recall the images of the Birmingham fire department hosing the protesters. It happened and can[will] happen again. Share a little tea with everybody. Don’t bogart your opinion.
