Two Tea Parties

[sophia-sadek.livejournal.com]

Now that the Tea Party has taken the plunge to support racism in Arizona, the Party will have the obligatory split over policy. I see a division into two distinct Tea Parties: one of them based on black tea and the other based on green tea. The black Tea Party would continue to support racism (black represents the color of their heart). The green Tea Party will favor a more rational, natural approach to immigration.

What is your opinion of these two parties within the Party? Which other policy divisions can we look forward to?

Pardon my absence

My hiatus was due to a busy schedule, not to a disregard for all of the wonderful and insightful comments made to this posting.

One of our students observed that the Arizona law was merely making de facto something that has already been in place. That is, people in American only truly have the right to be arrested. All other rights are merely an illusion.

I personally find it ironic when people try to justify the denial of rights as a non-racist act. For those who are treated as if they were inhuman, the racism is all too palpable. For those in denial, all I have to say is, "Enjoy your swim in that large river over there in Africa."
