As the Rev. Jeremiah Wright can testify, his friend, former parishioner and fellow damner of America, Barrack Hussein Obama, isn’t all that reluctant to throw those close to him under the wheels of an on-coming bus.
Civil servant Shirley Sherrod, formally with the Agriculture Department’s rural development office in Georgia, was fired after a video surfaced in which she recounted to a meeting of NAACP members how she stuck it to white farmer seeking financial assistance from a big-government bureaucrat. Ms. Sherrod was put off by what she perceived as a taxpayer “trying to show me he was superior to me.” She recounted, with pride, how big government deals with petulant citizens. “…I didn’t give him the full force of what I could do. I did enough,” said Sherrod, much to the approval of the NAACP gathering.
It wasn’t supposed to happen this way. The NAACP’s national convention in Kansas City, Missouri, was intended to put the president’s most potent political threat – the Tea Party – on the defensive. The organization even passed a resolution proclaiming the Tea Party a danger to “human rights” unless and until it publicly purged its ranks of “racist elements.” Instead, the NAACP was forced to explain – excuse, really – the comments of its prized member Shirley Sherrod.
Now that we’ve established that stupid “racist elements” exist within all groups and walks of life, can we please move on to what’s really threatening America…big government and the imperious federal bureaucrats that spend trillions while withholding their so-called public service?
The Tea Party and Sherrod share one important goal. Both want to reduce “the full force” of our bloated federal government on American citizens. The Tea Party just wants to take it an important step further by reducing the extreme power, cost and size of our bloated federal bureaucracy to match Shirley Sherrod’s lack of enthusiasm.
