I just wanted to point out the fact that Tea Party people are more respectful than are the progressive/liberal groups.

Have you ever seen the aftermath of Obama's anointment, I mean innauguration? It looks like a landfill.

When Tea Party people have a get together, we leave the premises spotless.

I guess the difference is that liberals and progressives expect someone else to clean up after them.

There are probably many white Rev. Wright's who say the same thing about black people. They however, just have not been recorded.

The Rev. Jeremiah Wight is not racist, those people who attack him are the real racists. They have no effing idea what it was like for him with black skin.

A story based on two unnamed sources. Oprah Winfrey has never publicly addressed why she stopped attending Trinity.
