NOW...Marco Rubio Challenges Tea Party Politics...Seems Far TOO LATE Now!

Today, Marco Rubio declared that Donald Trump is, “Not only tearing the [GOP] apart, but he risks tearing the country apart. This is not what we want our country to look like...”

That’s FINALLY a direct shot at the Tea Party and America’s working class Conservative base, a base that is larger than its liberal base by a factor of about 2 to 1.

Sadly, it’s far too late for that Marco.

Where was Marco when local Tea party activists successfully transformed “illegal immigration” into “In-Sourcing” - the importation of cheap labor to deliberately drive down the wage rates of American workers?

Where was Marco Rubio when local Tea Party activists successfully transformed Affirmative Action’s race/gender preferences into “A New Form of Segregation,” that of “Segregated Standards”?

Fact is, Marco and other “Moderate Republicans were nowhere to be seen, or heard. Perhaps they were “asleep at the switch,” but whatever it was, they did NOTHING to rein in the Tea Party philosophy and THAT’S what’s turned the current Primaries and WILL TURN the general Election into a Populist revolt.

Initially, I waited for some word, some argument...NO, NOT from the Marco Rubio’s of the world, but their Corporate masters, about how much we all owe, in cheaper goods and services to BOTH In-Sourcing and Out-Sourcing and how more new jobs were created than old ones lost, how affirmative action’s preferences are a “stop gap” measure to bring a disaffected segment of the population up to speed economically, so that the “sins of the past” need not be carried forward for another generation after this one.

BUT...there was NONE of that, from ANYONE!

You know what I think? I don’t think they COULD make an argument for that case. If they could have...they would have.

Now, it’s too late. The uprising’s in full swing.

You missed your chance Marco, just as surely as Jeb and John Boehner and the other Republican “Moderates” have. This ain’t your Party anymore Marco.

Liberal Rage at America on Display.....

This past weekend the Washington Post printed an Op-Ed by Colbert King entitled, The Deeper Roots of Rage, in which he inanely compares the Tea Party Conservatives to the pro-segregationist Democrats of a few decades ago.

Colbert King can’t seem to get his history right on any of his points.

Ironically enough, today, more than 60% of Americans support the Tea party movement and more than 2/3s of Americans told Rasmussen that their values are closer to the Tea Party values than to those of “the political class,” or that over 54% of the Tea Party members are WOMEN!

When Colbert King compares the alleged, but unvetted “verbal abuse” by Tea Partiers to that of people at a David Dukes rally he claimed to have witnessed, he conveniently omits that David Dukes had been a lifelong Democrat and STILL and to this day sees his “working-class socialist” views much more in concert with the Democrat Party. Or , when he derides allegedly fascistic Conservatives like Pat Buchanan, he apparently does so in ignorance of the fact that Pat Buchanan himself, had raised much Right-wing ire by declaring that he didn’t see Barrack Obama as a particularly “bad” or “malicious” President.

Moreover, Mr. King conveniently omits that it is Republicans who’ve been the ONLY targets of actual mob violence, with Virginia Republican Eric Cantor being the only member of Congress to have actual shots fired into his office by a loan, Obama-supporting, Muslim nut, hardly representative of the American Left.

The videos of those protests seem to show nothing more than “booing,” no racial or anti-gay slurs, and no incidents of “spitting.”

See for yourself;

.

In fact, far from taking Andrew Breitbart up on his $100,000 offer for any proof of spitting, both Representatives Cleaver and Lewis claimed, they “never said anyone deliberately spit on us.” OK, so it was others (apparently people like Colbert King) who decided to run with those false charges.

Can he possibly believe that contemporary American Liberalism supports a bigger, more intrusive government, higher tax rates, etc.?

I honestly don’t think so, as that is a view supported by only a small, rabid and radical fringe within the broader Liberal spectrum.

So what could possibly motivate Mr. King, other than pure and unadulterated hatred for so many of his fellow Americans?

What other reason could he have for STILL supporting the very people (Rep. Clever and Lewis) who, in effect, threw him and his media ilk under the proverbial bus with their recent denials, other than an unbridled and undeniable hatred for over 60% of his fellow Americans?
