Cokie Roberts:”Tea Party Anger is Racist”

I can name a whole heck of a lot of rich and super rich leftist socialist Democrats, I cannot really come up with any really rich Republicans.
So, only the downtrodden deserve political representation in America, and all of us should worship their chosen one, the community agitator?
He takes his assumptions and prejudices and back fills it with book information. He preaches his beliefs from an ivory tower. How much time did he spend getting to know TEA Party people? What he knows of the TEA Party is most probably from watching or reading liberal media. He’s a foolish snob.
Oligarchs are, by definition, in charge. If they were really in charge, why would they have any trouble at all defunding the progressives?
Simple answer: this guy is full of bull.
Would that America had been blessed with hordes of "anti-communist crazies".
We would not have made it as far down the path to totalitarian Socialism as we have.
This writer is just another who does not 'get it'--and in all fairness cannot understand that those of us who work hard and pay our bills are sick and tired of paying everyone else's bills, too. All the while they spend our money to buy votes so they can continue that cycle.
But it isn't just about money, it is about the pervasive erosion of fundamental rights to life, liberty, and property which are enacted to expand the hordes who draw a government check at our expense.
Doesn't the writer think that the volumes of needless regulations add insult to injury when we have to pick up the tab?
If you are rich, sure, that stings, but if you aren't (and by aren't, I mean working for a living but not independently wealthy), it really hurts.
Those sucking the sustenance from our tables and growing fat on it have no complaint, to be sure. Why would they?
They don't understand who we are, why we are or what we're about.
They're totally ignorant; yet, we have no secrets.
So they make stuff up, simply to make us into what they want us to be -- and, thus, they can lie about us to themselves and each other.
"Progressivism" is the essence of ignorance...
Seems that some people, at least, simply cannot believe that average Americans are sick to death of confiscatory taxation and rampant, out-of-control government waste.
I stopped at “But little was spontaneous about the new party.”
I was there. It was spontaneous as could be.
The liberals I know confine themselves to the liberal nest. They do not venture into the real world and have no desire to understand business, economics, human motivation, statistics, and reality in general. They have absolutely no idea who the Tea Party people are and what they are advocating. Everything my liberal friends know is supplied by the Democrat Party via the mainstream media. It is a very sad situation.
Yet, I've never been compelled to deal with 'rich people.'
Can anyone say that about government?
It's not about the rich versus the poor...it's about those who offer value and voluntary interaction, versus those who want to put their hands in your pocket.
Anyone with a shot glass of sense knows that as the rich are taxed out of existence, the middle class will be the new 'rich.' What's more, the left has declared war on the productive. Why would any sane person risk anything to start a business?
Obviously the author doesn’t have a clue as to what the Tea Party is about. No mention of preserving the Constitution, personal rights and responsibilities, and an economic system that affords more people the opportunity to succeed. I look for all the liberal television pundits to promote this book, accepting it as fact, and spreading another untruth to the masses. When will conservatives learn that, in order to compete, we must have mass communication outlets portraying our views and reasons for same?
