Sheila Jackson Lee, in Congress: 'I Stand Here as a Freed Slave'
NewsBusters ^

Posted on 02/14/2013 8:47:01 PM PST by chessplayer

Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Tex.) looks mighty good for a woman who has to be at least 148 years old.

My take on her age is based on a statement the Congresswoman made today while objecting to impending spending reductions relating to sequestration in which she characterized herself as "a freed slave." Slavery as a legal institution ended in the U.S. in 1865 at the end of the Civil War. Here is what Ms. Jackson Lee said, in context (HT Rush Limbaugh):

We are at the bone almost. And sequester that is across-the-board cuts will literally destroy us and put us in a recession.

I don't want to hear the fact that the president is divisive. The President is leading and he has led well. The American people are listening. When are our friends on the other side of the aisle going to listen? I want to challenge this body to be the kind of "Lincolness attitude."

As yesterday was the official birthday of President Lincoln, February 12, and although it was a tragic time in our history, I can assure you that it shows the greatest promise of America when people could come together and do something great. I STAND HERE AS A FREED SLAVE because this Congress came together.

Let’s move that Rover to where our astronauts planted the flag on Mars. IDIOT! This certainly isn’t politically correct, but the collective IQ of the members of the Caucus of Color is not in triple digits. Yeah, 20 millions slaves died by being thrown overboard and the sharks are still swimming the route. Yeah, too many members of our military on an island will cause it to capsize.

Sheila and Biden live in 'victims forever la la land'...

With their federal pensions, insurance, perks, insider deals, and other benefits. That's some vision of enslavement to Americans without work. Or working several jobs to stay afloat but still financing her benefits with their tax dollars. Trying to decide between buying medicine or buying groceries. Paying the mortgage or the car payment. Yeah, Sheila's some victim compared to those truly enslaved by this administration's destruction of the economy.

What an embarrassment to Texas.”

How right you are but on the other hand, she and Shirley Q Liquor have provided a lifetime of great material for Michael Berry’s radio program. And none of it has to be embellished.

It’s hard to soar with the eagles when your city is run by the likes of SJL, the Gay Mayor, the continuous parade of incompetent, liberal chiefs of police and Quanelle X.

Is Hank Johnson the same guy who said sharks still follow the routes taken by slave ships, because (he claimed) they would throw the slaves overboard and the sharks still remember that.

How miserable it must be to exist as a victim.

It may be her highest aspiration, but she's not a victim.

She claims a victim status that she never earned.

Ima linking you to the proof.

Are you suggesting that Sheila Jackass Lee is the intellectual standard that represents all black people? I can't do this, Fred.

She’s the same piece of work, that asked John Glenn is we can see the flag that was planted on Mars, when the astronauts went there.

HER DISTRICT IS HOUSTON, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!

The day after Obama's State of the Union speech:

"Obama sure can pile up the bull crap, can't he? Hey! Tell Sharpton to pick up his shovel!"

and who would ADMIT they brought Sheila? She was probably sold on a discount because she is not worth anything. She is not even worth being sold on a KMart Blue Light Special.

Discount hell, someone probably paid her owners to take her.
