Careful, Charlie, your true colors are showing!
Good-time charlie


Charlie Rangel, just put on your black hood,
Grab your rope, and lead your mob to the nearest tree.


Okay, I do not normally allow myself be caught up in the foul game of race, and bigotry. I grew up surrounded by it and spent fifty years learning that it just poisons one's soul. However, this morning, I cannot just sit back and let the remarks of Charlie Rangel go unanswered. Yesterday, long time democratic member of the U.S. House of Representatives went beyond the pale of decency in a new interview with "The Daily Beast." The congressman commented on TEA party conservatives: "It is the same group we faced in the South with those white crackers and the dogs and the police. ... If you have to bomb little kids and send dogs out against human beings, give me a break."

Moreover, this racist bigot is a member of our legislature, how embarrassing for us who serve our country with honor and distinction, pay our taxes, work and produce jobs, provide for our families and communities to be lumped into association with a vile, contemptible chapter of the past.

Yet watch, my American friends, the media will not show one spec of outrage over this outright defaming of the Americans who make the country work, so he can sit back and steal from us.

As far as I am concerned, Congressman Rangel's actions are grounds for impeachment as they show him unfit to hold public office. However, I suppose if he was allowed to cheat on his taxes for many years with complete and total impunity, and still today continues to take bribes, selling his votes as he has for his entire political career without remorse or repercussions. Why, would I think that his calling hard working Americans "Child Murders" would raise even an eyebrow?

The saddest part is that people will call him a hero for speaking his mind, but then the ones that think that, are not smart enough to understand that he is just using them to keep the stench of racism alive so he can profit from their misfortune.

Charlie Rangel does not want racism to end because then he would have nothing to leverage the ignorant constituents to continue their reelecting him. They lack the understanding that, on the surface, he pretends to represent them by touting his efforts in civil-rights. Yet it is with his hidden amendments and behind closed-door agreements that he sells them out every day.

I believe Charlie Rangel is one of the vilest of all creatures, even more hennas than those despicable bastards, Robert E. Chambliss, Bobby Frank Cherry, Herman Frank Cash, and Thomas E. Blanton, Jr., all KKK members who actually murdered those four children at the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama on Sunday, September 15, 1963. I am deeply offended that because I choose to vote and lobby against waste and corruption by him and his fellows in Washington DC that I am somehow a member of a racist group.

Congressman Rangel, knowingly and wantonly betrays his oath of office for personal gain, he has never once been on the forefront of any worthy movement to improve America, but he chimes in with his Racist banter after events that he had zero right to speak about and he does so under the color of authority. To me that make him a rapist and the people of New York's 13th district his victims.

The concept of lynch parties remains in use today but not by decent Americans, no, it is used by these defamers like Rangel and the poor uneducated sheep he stirs to riotous behavior with misinformation and outright lies.

The recent George Zimmerman trial is testament to the truth of this. In addition, the lack of reaction by our media over the blatant example of pure hate is another. I only have a couple of guns in my house; my father left them to me. Yet the failing of good Americans standing up when they should, to decry foul the reprehensible, makes it easier for me to understand why weapon purchases are at an all time record. If our elected officials and our news media can no longer be trusted to protect us ... who will?

Which is the racist
