Allowing Women to Vote - Bad Idea Says Female Tea Party Leader

"There is nothing worse than a bunch of mean, hateful women. They are diabolical in how they can skewer a person. I do not see that in men."

That's right - Janis Lane thinks giving women the franchise was a bad idea.


She's also the president of the Central Mississippi Tea Party.

In fact, because she deems women too emotional, unstable, and dishonest, she votes to cancel out the lady crazy.

Revisionist History at its Best: Tennessee Tea Party Says 'take the slavery out of American History textbooks'

American History without slavery? Say what?

A school board in Texas succeeded in whitewashing slavery in students' textbooks last year.  

[Among other revisions were the replacement of the term 'trans-Atlantic slave trade' with 'Atlantic triangular trade.']  

Now, Tea Partyers in Tennessee are attempting to accomplish the same goal.  The group wants to remove references to slavery altogether and, you know, the fact that the 'founding fathers' owned slaves.  

Spokesperson for the group, Hal Rounds, says that textbooks should focus more on the 'revolutionary' nature of the founders instead of any hypocrisy that might have taken place. 

The Tennessee group handed out leaflets that said:

Neglect and outright ill will have distorted the teaching of the history and character of the United States.  We seek to compel the teaching of students in Tennessee the truth regarding the history of our nation and the nature of its government.

'Truth regarding the history of our nation' includes mass murder, smallpox blankets, and, oh yeah, slavery.  There's no need to clean it up or make it more appealing.   

I think that's impossible.  When I was in secondary school, the pictures of slaves in books featured them smiling and dancing in colorful garb.  Textbooks have progressed a bit in less than 10 years and now is not the time to take steps back.

Black Rev. Says "Send those Blacks back to the plantation!"

"One of the things that I would do is take all black people back to the South and put them on the plantation so they would understand the ethic of working. I'm going to put them all on the plantation. They need a good hard education on what it is to work."

No, these are not the words of a klansman but of Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson. He is an uber-conservative Black Republican.  [We're not saying there is anything wrong with being a Black Republican but there IS DEFINITELY a problem with calling for Blacks to be put on plantations to teach them work ethic.]  

Peterson is currently in charge of the Tea Party of South Central Los Angeles, an organization he created to "free" Blacks from the "mental plantation of the Democratic Party".

These words were his response to Newt Gingrich's comments that poor Black children lack role models to teach them a work ethic. Peterson claims to have worked in the fields as a youngster and thus, reports that he has a strong work ethic. 


Peterson says that, "People don't want to hear the truth." He continued saying about Black women that, "Many black women have had babies out of wedlock and passed that on to their daughters that if they have babies out of wedlock, they'll get food stamps, free houses and your rent paid."

Peterson considers himself a truth-teller to ignorant Blacks.  

"When you tell them the truth first, they become upset...They think if you're black and conservative, you're an Uncle Tom. Once you let them yell and scream and carry on -- because they will carry on -- and when they calm down, they understand."

Thank you for enlightening us, Reverend.
