CBC recommends Sheila Jackson Lee for Homeland Security post
The Washington Times ^ | 30 Jul 2013 | Jessica Chasmar

Just two weeks after Janet Napolitano announced her resignation as Secretary of Homeland Security, the Congressional Black Caucus has suggested Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Houston fill her spot.

A letter dated July 25 and signed by Rep. Marcia Fudge, Ohio Democrat and caucus chairwoman, urges President Obama to consider Miss Jackson Lee for the position, calling the Democrat a “voice of reason” that the agency could stand to gain, the Houston Chronicle reported. “Representative Jackson Lee would serve as an effective DHS Secretary because she understands the importance of increasing border security and maintaining homeland security,” the letter reads. Mrs. Jackson Lee currently serves as a ranking member of the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Border and Maritime Security, a position that the caucus said she “stands as a strong and honest ‘voice of reason.’”

The CBC is a racist organization and is worse than the KKK because it oppresses the very people it claims to support.

The link I posted was from 2011, and I really doubt Sheila has mellowed since then!

I'm in favor of this. Let's give America a chance to get to know one of the CBC's best and brightest. Let's play clips of her memorable quotes. Let's put her out in front of the cameras every day.

Homeland Security is joke. Let's expose Homeland Security, Ms. Lee and CBC all in one stroke.

I think I am living in a nightmare with this administration. Every freaking day. At this point, I cannot see how there are not demonic forces involved in this government. And that includes Congress, Republicans included.

Sorry but some of you should take the racial humor down a notch,

I come to this forum to stay informed, I don’t want to be ashamed of it, people will think you are a bunch of racist, they want to be able to point that out.

Heaven help us if she gets appointed.

Well, you know that Obama will appoint another left wing nutcase with no qualifications or expertise for the job. Might as well be Lee.

I would prefer an incompetent leftist as opposed to a competent leftist. Obama will appoint a leftist.

Obama will appoint her because he appoints those he thinks will do the most damage to the country. Matter of fact I will bet on it.

Just what I was thinking.

"I am a Queen! And I expect to be treated like one!"
Rep Sheila Jackson Lee, screaming at a Continental ticket agent

* Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas): Elected in 1994, the 61-year-old Jackson Lee has gotten herself in trouble several times thanks to what the Almanac of American Politics delicately called her “regal pretensions.” In an infamous 1998 incident, she reportedly threw a tantrum on a Continental Airlines flight when she wasn’t served the meal she had requested. “I’m Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee!” she thundered. “Where is my seafood meal? I know it was ordered!”

She’s is arguably the biggest racist in congress. She gets in and heads up DHS, there will be CWII.
