Representative Waters Making Waves With Comments

Representative Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) made headlines across the country twice last week, first suggesting that President Barack Obama “get tough with Republicans” to create proposals that help the poor and African-Americans and later for calling out the Tea Party.

In a story published by The Daily Caller on Sunday, Waters was quoted urging Obama to fight Republicans: “This is a tough game. You can’t be intimidated. You can’t be frightened. And as far as I’m concerned — the Tea Party can go straight to hell.”

The Congresswoman, earlier in the week, spoke at a job fair in Atlanta about minority frustrations with the country’s first black president, according to The Los Angeles Times.

“There is a growing frustration in this country and in minority communities because the unemployment rates are so high,” said Waters. She also claimed that a rising number of home foreclosures and a “wealth gap” between blacks and whites have begun to create frustration and anger in the black community.

Waters’ has not only set her sights on Obama and the Tea Party as she slings angry rhetoric, but has taken offense even with fellow Democrats for not fighting harder against budget cuts in the highly politicized battle over the debt ceiling.

“We were basically held up in raising the debt ceiling, until they got all of those budget cuts they demanded,” Waters said, according to The Times. “We didn’t raise any revenue and they didn’t close any tax loopholes. I believe the Democratic Party and the president of the United States should not have backed down. We should have made them walk the plank.”

Unrelated to her recent public outbursts, Waters is currently being investigated by the House ethics committee since allegations emerged last year that she attempted to improperly obtain Federal bailout money for a bank in which her husband owned stock. Though she demanded a trial last year, a Daily Caller article last week reported that the Congresswoman’s lawyer has filed a motion to dismiss the case saying that because two committee lawyers communicated solely with Republicans, a fair trial “is impossible.”

    As if there are no poor white people in this country. Her demands are racist in itself… The President is black therefore he must help black people. What a pathetic human being.

  • C. R.

    Hey, she is insane and the voters in our state of CAmisery keep on voting for her. Every time she opens her mouth, it is clear she is not all there. Jealous! Unintelligent! Wacky! Socialist! (you bet) and got her husband’s bad taken care of. Why we elect nutty women in this state is because this state has become a nanny state with a re-elected nanny called Moonbeam. I have seen this once great state (just like America) go downhill over the years and I cry. We let people like her in our government and then wonder why we have troubles. I used to be proud to say I lived in CA, but stopped that immediately upon 2008 election of a man so unqualified, it was and is pathetic. It is OUR fault and we need to correct our errors – only wish a pencil eraser would be enough to do!

      GOD created people so we could make mistakes. We do it better than any other entity.

      • 45caliber

        God created man to make his own decisions. I don’t think he deliberately set out to make us make mistakes. We do that all by ourselves without His help at all.

    • http://ahalbert@smart-technology.net Allan

      I’d heard CA was trying to require a 3/4 legislature vote to lower any taxes. Has that happened yet? Maxine Waters — a sinking representative for a sinking state.

  • Stunned at sunset

    Does anyone know if she came up with an idea of where we could get the billions of dollars required to pay for all of this?

    I know the super-rich are targets in these exchanges and even Warren Buffet thinks that they should pay their fair share but, they don’t have THAT much money! Social programs have to be “sustainable.” We can’t pay for the able-bodied to sit around at home and do absolutely nothing all day long. In one case in my neighborhood, and able-bodied male was given a complete scholarship to a local college valued at nearly $160,000. He got kicked out of the program because he never showed up for class and didn’t do the required work. This is an example of what the Teabaggers are complaining about. We have to fix things at the bottom first. We have to introduce this strange and alien notion of social responsiblity into the teaming massess before we can rob the working class of their hard-earned income to fund boondoggles like the example that I just gave.

    Social assistance should be given in the form of “workfare” and not “welfare!” Only the disabled are eligible for a “benefit of the doubt” analysis and, most of the time, the disabled want a job and NOT a handout.

    People like Representative Waters should stop inciting social unrest with her ambiguous and amorphous statements referencing a “THEY” that most of us understand means “US.” Remember, there are an awful lot of black Americans out there working their behinds of and paying outrageous taxes right along side of all the other racial groups and ethinic extractions. They are being screwed to the rafters right along with the rest of us by simple-minded people like Ms. Waters.

    The President screwed up and ruined his chances for re-election. He promised to shut down the wars but got us involved in two more wars when we hadn’t even closed the first one. He promised to clean up the banking fiasco but these jackasses are still raping the banking system and no one is doing anything about it except the Federal Reserve and all they’re doing is printing more money! He promised jobs; although is public infrastructure program was a good start that’s where his effort ended. He’s still allowing jobs to leave the country by underwriting tax legislation that rewards industry for moving over seas. These are just a few examples.

    Ms. Waters should stopy whining about what everyone else should do and come up with some sort of a suggestion that appeals to everyone because, whether she likes it or not, in this country, the majority still has a great deal of influence and can obstruct the misguided intentions of people like her and the privileged plutocrats that she is supporting with her deconstructionist rhetoric.

      “People like Representative Waters should stop inciting social unrest with her ambiguous and amorphous statements referencing a “THEY” that most of us understand means “US.”

      The real problem is that her district was designed for her. Her only way of getting votes is by racism because most of the rest there are racist and she knows it.

    Honestly…why does anyone give a rip what any of the loony left coast idiots have to say about anything. Come on… this dingy woman hasn’t a clue. She’s one of the dolts responsible for destroying a state that was once the envy of the civilized world. I really can’t imagine why anyone would listen to anything she has to say about anything. It’s lefty idiots like her that have made California into the laughing stock that it is today.

    There’s nothing to see here, move along!

    • exbobbie

      RS how right you are, and I’m sorry to say that I live in California. When I immigrated here in 1975 (legally I might add), this was a fantastic place to live, breaks my heart to see whats happening now. I pray that the movement to create a North and Southeast California will take hold, then we can leave all the lefty loons, including LA and Mad Maxine, to their own devises and we conservatives down here can go about our own business restoring our California back to the Golden State.

  • s c

    Maxine, chill out! All you’re doing is proving that some people don’t belong in politics. At home, you might be ‘nice’ and even sociable (maybe). Lately, you sound like someone who’s hooked on prescription drugs. You sound like you’re a true believe in the First Church of Hate and Borderline Racism.
    People like you make a mockery of EVERYTHING MLK represents. Are you buds with that Rev. Wright wacko? I find it hard that anyone can look up to you, especially when you’re ranting. Woman, you know damned well that if you didn’t have the LUXURY of immediate media access, we wouldn’t be changing the channel or rushing to put the remote on mute.
    If you live long enough, you might get close to being intelligent (like Bill Cosby or Walter Williams). For now, you’re way too close to a woman who needs immediate counseling. Chill out! And educate yourself, too. Ignorance is NOT a virtue [I don't care what your lying role models have told you].

  • Harvey

    Do you know that this idiot is one of about seventy members of congress that are members of the socialists party ?
    They want to take our hard earned money and give to people that refuse to work. Why should they work? The government gives them food, housing, cell-phones, utilities and God only knows what else. We need to stop welfare, unearned tax credits, free anything except for people that are truly unable to work.
    Dummy money needs to stop right now. There are lawyers teaching freeloaders what to tell the gov workers So they can get money for their child being mentally challenged when they are not medically challenged. They are milking the system like Waters is doing.
    Why is she not in jail with Rangel and the others in congress?

    • Fredsworld

      Racists in America today: Maxine Waters, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson,The New Black Panther Party, The National Black Caucus, NAACP, The Nation of Islam, ect. Do you see a pattern here?

      • Joyce from Loris

        Please do not forget Sheila Jackson.

      • Christin

        Yes, Joyce, let’s not forget to add liar Sheila Lee-Jackson from New York, but ruining Houston, TX…

        And let’s add: Rev, Wright, Louis Farrakhan, Barry Soetero…

      • eddie47d

        Racists are everywhere Fredsworld and it’s not just the KKK or the neo-Nazi’s. How about the Posse Comitatus,Sovereign Nation,Minutemen Defense,Council of Conservative Citizens or Kyle Bristow(White Apocalypse) about killing anyone they don’t agree with. How about the White National Socialist Movement,Christian Identity,American Third Position(A3P Party) and there are several “patriot” groups with a hidden racist agenda. How about the White Revolution Movement or the Iron Rain Nationalists just two of those “patriot” groups. Those “pattern’s” have been around for quite a few years. So a little more honesty is in order in your “world”.

      • Jana

        eddie,
        You forgot the black Panthers, Acorn, Maxene Waters,and eddie47d.

      • eddie47d

        You are only repeating what Fredsworld says which exposes you even more. Keep inserting mouth Jana.

      • Jana

        But at least I can read eddie, unlike you who when proven wrong won’t appologize, and NEVER proves anything but you call Raggs a negative person when you are the most negative person around.

      • Joyce from Loris

        You are not wrong, however, how often do you see any of these groups on television, spouting off words of hate as the NAACP does, etc? You don’t. These people that we have mention are NATION WIDE racist, spewing their hatred all over the air waves for all the Americans to hear. That’s a huge difference.

    • Joyce from Loris

      You are right. I met a 16 year old boy in Marion, OH, who gets $900 a month in disability. His disability? He is afraid of being in a crowd, yet he was at a fair with 25,000 people. This kid certainly did not dream this up by his self, he had help from his mother and people in the SSDI department. It’s a shamble.

      • Vagabond

        THAT LOW RENT BASTARD DRAWS MORE FOR DOING NOTHING THAN I DO FOR WORKING ALL MY LIFE UNTILL THREE YEARS AGO. I AM 75 YEARS OLD,

      • Joyce from Loris

        I know, Vagabond, there are more just like him there. A 22 year old gets $753 a month because he can’t read, a woman who is a crack head gets a $1000 a month, and EACH of her ten children are also crack heads and get $800 EACH a month! That’s in just one family!! The stories are endless, and that’s the reason people who have worked all their lives, paid into the system, played the game the way we were told to play, are now sitting here and probably won’t get anything, or not much anyway. ABUSE!!

      • exbobbie

        Hi Joyce, Just a small tidbit of info. A few years ago in the U.K the Labor Party (Democrats), who were in power then, decided that the unemployment figures were way too high and embarrassing, so they decided to transfer a very large number of unemployed people over to the Disability Program. Three quarters of these people would not have previously qualified for disability so they lowered the standards for eligibility. A very large number of those people caught rioting and looting recently were all receiving unemployment and disability payments.

    • Robert Pa.

      Around here they drive Cadillac Esclades, fill up the gas tanks on American Express Platinum cards and eat at the $50.00 a plate restaurants all on the dole.

  • home boy

    after listing to this woman talk , she would be best advised to keep her mouth closed. she is terrible under pressure . if this is the best this country has to offer then we don’t have a prayer for survival.

  • Kate kat

    Maxi, you need to instead of blaming the white man (Remember that blacks in Africa STILL own Black slaves.) Teach these young kids to love education and teach them that they can do whatever they want to in life. They can make good money and that color has nothing to do with anything any more. But you can’t, why? That would be ending racisim and you don’t like that. You want to whine and get free stuff and USE your color in your favor. Are you upset that you are not white? If so that’s just stuuuuupid. We have it bad! We are blamed for everything, “Taking over the Indians.” I didn’t know that the indians were so weak that the white man that had nothing and didn’t know the land could take them over so fast. (See how dumb that comment about us taking over the Indians is?) why do you hate whites so much? And when say that the Tea Party can go to Hell (I thought that we were already there. Isn’t that Liberalism?) Are you telling the Black Tea Party members that as well or only the White ones? If it is just the white ones…well that’s racist and I think that you owe the Whites for all the Harm that YOU have caused us! How does that feel Old Maxi? What if we just reverse all of this and place it all ON YOU! There has NOT been Racism for YEARS! Your ancisters had enough pride to fight to get where they WERE…you are trying to reverse what they accomplished. You keep this up and YES there will be racism because you abuse people long enough…they learn to hate you!! So good move there you cheat!

    • home boy

      also, if you are not born in africa then you are not a african/american. why not ask africans what they feel about that subject

      • Vagabond

        HOME BOY YOU ARE SO RIGHT. A FEW YEARS AGO I ALONG WITH SOME FRIENDS WERE SITTING IN A TAVERN AND HAVING A FEW COLD ONES AND SHOOTING THE BULL WHEN THE WORD AFRO AMERICAN CAME UP. A BLACK GUY TO MY RIGHT SPOKE UP AND SAID AFRO AMERICAN MY ASS. EITHER YOU ARE AN AFRICAN OR YOU ARE AN AMERICAN MY ANCESTERS WERE AFRICANS. I AM AN AMERICAN AND DAMNED PROUD OF IT,

      • exbobbie

        Hi homeboy and vagabond, I can remember sitting in a Multiculturalism class before I retired. The black instructor, who knew me, tried to use me as an example by calling me an ‘AngloAmerican’, he seemed quite pleased with himself until I jumped on his ass. I made it quite clear that I was not a double barreled anything, I WAS AN AMERICAN and had earned the right to that title by doing everything required of me by this Great Country, and proudly so, and had a certificate to prove it. He was further shocked when I informed him that if he wanted to refer to himself as an ‘AfricanAmerican’ then that was his privilege, however most so called ‘AfricanAmericans’ couldn’t find Africa on a map if their life depended on it.

You wouldn’t happen to be related to this person would you?. Maybe we could find an island for you to go to, maybe one that’s uninhabited.

  • taminator013

    So, there is a wealth gap between whites and blacks? That may be because a higher percentage of whites go out and get an education and work for a living.They also teach their children their ABCs and how to write their names and how to count. All this before they even start school. Moral values are also taught in a higher percentage of the homes of the white working class. Also a sense of responsibility and a work ethic. Too many blacks that have never worked a day in their lives or contributed anything to society believe that they are entitled to the same things that we have without working for them. This goes on for generation after generation and is perpetuated by goverment handouts. Why work when someone else will give you food and clothing and free medical care? Now it’s free cell phones and internet. When will this cycle stop?

    • http://www.alldaypsa.blogspot.com D.Smith

      ^Taminator, I agree with most of what your saying, but would be interested in seeing the statistical “facts” that you mentioned. Maxine Waters, on the other hand, is a complete idiot. Barack Obama, complete idiot, and he doesn’t “owe” me jack. Nobody does, regradless of color and what some outdated textbook says. Michael Eric Dyson, is complete idiot. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, complete idiots. I get chastised on the daily for being a Black man and making these statements, but it’s true. Black people play the race card more than anyone on the planet, thus rendering themselves irrelevant. A lot of Blacks feel that they should look to these clowns for “leadership”…YOU are the only leadership you and your family needs. My wife, who’s Salvadorean, and I get up five days a week to make sure our two extremely intelligent and creative children never have to stoop to Maxine’s and the rest of these fools’ level; begging with a business suit on. You want something? Get up and get it! And lead by example, not empty rhetoric.

      • taminator013

        I didn’t mean to make it sound so racist, but we were talking about Maxine Waters views. This also is going on with too many other nationalities including the white race in today’s society. So many think that they are entitled to everything without working for it. This is ingrained from childhood. The trouble with all the government handouts is that someone must pay for it and it is we, the workers. Black, white, red, yellow…………..the productive members of society that believe that nothing is for free.

  • Disgusted

    the only “racist” people I know are black. I don’t have an issue with the color of a persons skin, I do however have an issue with everyone thinking you should have special treatment because of the color of your skin. That is racism at its finest. People like Maxine are actually doing more harm than good by demanding special treatment and calling notice to the differences in people than what is the same – we were all created by God and we are all human beings. Lets focus on that instead of the color of our skins!

    • wandamurline

      This month there will be a statue of Dr. King revealed and he must be turning over in his grave with such coming from the mouth of a representative of the people. But, then again, when someone is elected to the position of president because of the color of his skin and not his character, you can see what Dr. King meant. I believe he would be ashamed of these people, I know that I am. Jackson, Waters, Sharpton, Rev. Wright and Obama are all racists, and it would seem that they don’t mind saying so. It is a ploy to declare class warfare and have us fighting among ourselves. If we truly were equal, then there would be equal amount of blacks and whites on football teams, basketball teams, baseball teams, etc. Now, how would old Maxine react to that one? You see, it is not so much the whites who are racists as the blacks. It makes me sick to my stomach….I have dear friends who are black, and I grew up during the civil rights era, I was a teenager and wasn’t a racist then and not one now. Obama and people like Waters, Obama, Sharpton, Jackson and the Black Caucus and NAACP have set Dr. King’s work back to the 60′s. She should be excised from her position. And when she made that statement, she effectively told millions of honest hard working people of all races that we all need to go to hell. What does that say about her character?

      • Capitalist at Birth

        King was a racist and a communist. Not such a great person, and his life should not be celebrated. He was a huckster, no different than Jackson and Sharpton.

        Wanda she has no character. I grew up in North and South Carolina. as a young boy my best friend was a black boy who lived on the farm next to us. we spent a lot of time fishing and roaming the woods together. I had very many black friends many of who came to our house and were welcomed. that was befor al sharpton. jessie jackson louis farahkan. wright and others of their ilk who have gotten wealthey preaching racism and hatred. the first time I came home on leave from the Army in 1952 on arrival in the little community I lived near the first people I saw was Uncle Sandy and his wife waiting for the store to open so they could buy their groceries. Uncle Sand saw me and came running to me and gave me a big hug and said Mr. Boot you’r home. yes Uncle Sandy was a black man. and a damned good one as were the most of all of them around home. again that was befor the likes of such riff raff as jessie jackson al sharpton et al.

    In my opinion making a death threat against the Tea Party by saying they should go to Hell and she would help get them there is wrong on many levels. Further by doing so she threatened my right to free association and my right to free speech. A Congressman using their legal status keeping me form these rights should be at least investigated if not arrested. Could you make such a statement and not be visited by the FBI?

    • Jana

      John R,
      If that would have ben a Republican or a Libertarian making those kind of statesments, heads would roll, and someone would have to appologize or resign, but not with the party of blame. Hate speech is alright as long as they do it.

      • eddie47d

        I see Jana doesn’t quite get it either and is busy joining the howling mob. Feels good to release that pent up anger doesn’t it Jana and company? ANOTHER negative article on blacks, IMAGINE THAT! You all soak it up like it’s your daily dose of sunshine. The Tea Party folks on this site can criticize blacks but when a black women (in this case) speaks up you are ready to bring out the tar and feathers. IMAGINE THAT! Gotta love the “stupid people” comment from Ken. Still trying to find ways to keep certain people from voting. IMAGINE THAT!

      • http://peronalliberty Kevin

        buddy there was a time in this Great Country that only people with (skin in the game) as the progressives like to say voted, yes and they were called land-owners, you know (maybee) the ones who pay property taxes, some have to pay 10′s of thousands, I pay 4,000 myself! that alone is 10% of my income! why should my vote not count for the same as some welfare cheat? who hasn’t or won’t work a day in his life! huh? and there was a time, and I don’t agree with it, but women and Blacks, anyone but a white MAN could not vote! That would be discusting to go back too!!!

      • Old Henry

        Kevin:

        I don’t think voting should be limited to land owners. I do, however, think it should be limited to only those who pay taxes such as income and property. Income proving they actually work and contribute.

      • Alex

        Actually, this is a negative article about a racist congresswoman. Had she given Kennedy’s speech, it wouldn’t have been, “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.” It would have been, “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country, and for African Americans.”

        To quote the article, “She also claimed that a rising number of home foreclosures and a “wealth gap” between blacks and whites have begun to create frustration and anger in the black community.”

        Does she think that white people are out to impoverish the black people? Or that they are somehow keeping the black man down?

        I hear a bit of racist talk from time to time. Thanks to the folks of both races who can’t let the problem die, racism still exists. But I’ve yet in all my forty years to see anyone denied housing, a job, or anything else. In FACT, what I’ve seen in my life is blacks who shoot cops getting a lesser sentence because the NAACP defends him and says, “You just want the death penalty because he’s black” (not, of course, because he murdered a police officer in cold blood). I see a United Negro College Fund that, to the best of my knowledge, is not available to whites, asians, or anyone else (though all white scholarship funds are available to blacks). I see racial preference in favor of blacks everywhere I go. I once worked at a gas station when I was younger. A black woman working there was caught on camera stealing beer and cigarettes. When she was confronted, she cried racism and contacted the NAACP. When employers in general feel it is appropriate to terminate the employment of a black individual, they have to do extra paperwork so that no one can accuse them of firing them for being black.

        So I don’t want to hear this anti-white nonsense from you or anyone else. People like YOU keep racism alive. Just shut the $*&% up about it.

        I might also add that the Tea Party movement is about cutting government spending, making our politicians accountable, and balancing the budget. If they are “criticizing blacks,” as you put it, it is only because the politician they are criticizing happens to be black. They are criticizing the politician, not the color of their skin.

        And there ARE stupid people out there who shouldn’t be voting. If I had my way, I would require a registration test for anyone who wanted to vote. As it stands right now, people are stupid to the point that a congressman from Georgia once actually expressed in a congressional hearing that he was concerned the island of Guam might capsize (by the way, I hope it doesn’t hurt your sensibilities that that moron congressman happened to be black). Smart people would have never put such an idiot in office.

        Eddie47d, you don’t get it. It’s NOT the conservatives saying racist remarks, or bringing race into it; it’s Maxine, YOU, and your kind. You poeple ALWAYS scream racism. Racism has NOTHING to do with it. We have a socialist as a President, and he could care less about blacks or whites. He is only concerned about his direction for this Great Country. He doesn’t even care about this Country! You people need to wake up and realize what obama really stands for, and find another qualified representative that you all feel will do a better job than obama. obama WILL NOT be any different if re-elected. Things WILL continue to worsen the longer he remains in office. He is a disgrace to the American people and this Great Country!

        I get it alright Barb. If this site was truly honest they would expose the multitude of white supremacy groups and Congress persons who support their ideals. Instead of continually bringing up “evil black folk” to rail against. The proof is in the pudding.

        Pssst…Maxine Waters is an idiot (and a rascist). Any “relevant” questions?
        I didn’t think so. Thanks for playing….your parting gift will be waiting for you…on your way out the door….please collect it ASAP.

      • Old Henry

        eddie:

        Maxine Waters is the one who created the negative part of the article. She is a racist hate-monger.

        Wasn’t she on the “civil discourse bandwagon” shooting her mouth off after The Sarah caused the congresswoman in AZ to be shot?

        Maxine Waters is advocating, and offering to help, murdiering TEA Party people. You tell me why she should not be drummed out of the House and brought up on charges of inciting to murder.

      • eddie47d

        Waters didn’t create this article or how it was presented. Think back to the Shirley Sherrod case in how Breitbart took her words out of context. I see the same tactics being used against other black figures on this site. I can’t stop either side from making fools of themselves but I can do my part in slowing down the one sided views.

      • Jana

        eddie,

        Waters did create this article BECAUSE of what she said. It would NOT have mattered in the least if she were white, she said what she said and it was WRONG. For you to defend evil doesn’t speak well of you. But, you seem to defend evil doings and wrong doings more and more.

        You stated,” I can’t stop either side from making fools of themselves but I can do my part in slowing down the one sided views” but instead, you make one of yourself in your one sided view.

      • lkar

        Actually, it is the amount of money spent to make sure “stupid people” vote. Since by definition, they are too stupid to vote! Why is it that huge groups have to go door to door to register voters and get them to the polls? Even the dead and cartoons get to vote in this scheme! Even common sense legislation (like voter picture ID) is a liberal howling point as the “stupid people” cannot meet the requirements(like get IDs yet seem to get smokes and booze).

    • Jana

      Evidently good ole Maxine got in trouble with the WH for coming out so strong the first time AGAINST the President of Blame, so she changed her hateful rhetoric to go against the TEA Party.
      Wow, and the Democrats CLAIM (FALSELY) to be the party of tolerance while in actuality, they are the party of blame, and the party of hate.
      Obama has stated that the Republicans which would include anyone not for him and his deeply flawed policies, are his enemies. These enemies include whole states, such as Arizona, Texas, Georgia, and any right to work state. Oh, but its not his fault, its ALWAYS someone elses fault, hence the PRESIDENT OF BLAME.

      Now Maxine has picked up this mantra as well, and many other members of the Democrat party so now they are considered THE PARTY OF BLAME.

        She should go Africa and improve life there and make sure not to as money from American taxpayers. Funding Black-Run America (BRA) – think EBT cards, welfare, trying to close the gap in academic achievement, families moving away from crime-ridden areas, Section 8 housing. We could have been on Mars by now. Instead, we have to close up shop on space exploration and continue funding Black-Run America.

        We can see NASA collapse, because that frees up more money from an already exhausted budget (funding BRA isn’t cheap!) to go toward the never-ending cause of improving the quality of life for Black people. All of the money spent trying to improve the academic success rate of Black students over the past 40-50 years has been a monumental waste.
        Blacks account for about 70% of the gun crimes in this country.

        I read that the average cost to treat gunshot wounds is about 50,000 dollars. I believe these statistics as I sprained my foot and was hit with a bill of almost 1000 dollars for x-rays and ace bandage. Multiply that figure by 200,000 or so black related shootings.

        D Water doesn’t seem to undestand the nature of the situation we are now. We are in the deepest hole we ever been before. Do you remenber this? DO NOT ASK WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU<ASK WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUE COUNTRY. We are living at a time that we can show the world that we are hard working people and willing to go out and do whatever. Not lay-back welfare recipients, asking for more help. We dont want a goverment like Obama trying to solve a problem by throwing money into the pit very iresponsible. It hasn't solve anything and it won't. So stop asking Mrs Waters for more waste of money.

      • Kate8

        Mary – You have the guts to speak the truth. Bravo.

        Humans, whatever color, don’t respect or appreciate what they haven’t actually earned, and they certainly don’t have respect for where it all came from. The extreme condescension shown by the Left toward people of color is appalling and, while the blace community may not entirely see it, they can’t help but respond to it unconsciously.

        The implication is, of course, that they don’t have what it takes to make it on their own, because they are somehow inferior. And, by gosh, on some level they do buy into this notion, coming to expect, and even demand, more handouts. (What happens when you feed the wildlife…they no longer forage for themselves…)

        The very idea that Ms. Waters represents the “black community” drives me nuts. What if a white Congressperson tried to represent the “white community”? Should she not represent the entirety of her district? Unless they are 100% black but, even then, it’s racial discrimination no matter how you look at it.

        I’d like to know why a poor black person is so much more important than a poor white person (of which there are MANY). Or is the idea that the white person is only poor by choice, and has the capablility of success where the black person can’t do it without the help of whites?

        As long as minorities are given special treatment, they’ll continue to rely on it and will never achieve the self-respect that can only come with hard work and genuine accomplishment.

        But then, isn’t that what the Left intended all along? An enslaved, dependent voting block?

        And we are held in silence by political correctness.

        But, if we don’t start speaking the truth, were going to lose it all.

        Kate8, honesty is a virtue…well said. Maxine Waters is just another in a long list of the amoral socialists from California in DC.
        She is a prime example that even the ignorant can succeed.

        Think about it for a moment…Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters from California and Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida are notorius for making totally off the wall comments and the use of inflammatory rhetoric.

      • Kate8

        JeffH – Hmmmm. Do you really think Waters, Rangel, and the like actually succeeded on their own, or were they singled out by the PTB, enlisted and funded to promote the socialist cause?

        The outrageous comments they so often make, which echo from progressive mouthpiece to progressive mouthpiece, smacks of planned provocation.

      • JeffH

        Kate8, I don’t think the PTB ever considered either one prior to their tenure in politics…after that, who know…they’re nothing more than tools now…expendable tools.

        There obviously has been a “character assassination” taking place against the Tea Party, just as there is against any entity that threatens the status quo.

        Now it’s Congresswoman Frederica Wilson and Jessee Jackson who have joined the wolfpack that is howling at the Tea Party moon.

        Wilson: “Let us all remember who the real enemy is… the real enemy is the Tea Party… the Tea Party holds the Congress hostage…They have one goal in mind, and that’s to make President Obama a one-term president,” she said at Monday’s event. That explains it all! It isn’t that the Tea Party are full of racists and terrorists…they’re the enemy because they want to make Obama a one term POTUS…Gee whiz, I bet there are some Democrats, Independents, Libertarians, and progressives that want him to be a one term POTUS also.

        As for Jessee Jackson’s comments…well, he’s a bonefied racist too!
        Jackson played the race card and compared the Tea Party to southern secessionists who want slavery, and claimed Dr. Martin Luther King confronted a “tea party” of his own.

        It’s like a CD set to replay, over and over and over.
        These people, which includes BH Obama, have set race relations in the US back 50-60 years or shameful, evil and most of all purely ignorant.

        In the already diluted intelligence pool known as Congress, Waters pulls the average IQ down a few more notches.

      • Bruce

        Mary, The real question is why did Waters buy a home in a South American nation that has no extradition laws?
        Not unlike many of the US Congress and Senate person who have been commiting TREASON for years. Plus lets add in the countless Wall Street bankers as well media owners who have also done this.

        I would say its due mostly to the people who are in 9/11 groups as well the Tea Party people plus the countless millions who are waking up daily to whats really going on in this nation. And just how much damage these politicians have done.
        So who do you think will jump ship first the politicians or the media owners? Its time to go full tilt on all these people and expose them for what they are and what they have done, One really good hard push and there may well be a mass exodus of all of them. So the 2012 elections are mega important that all of you get out and wake up as many as you can. If one of you can wake up even one person who wakes up one person and so on we can break the back of the NWO and all its puppets.

There is a ton of information on congress people and their nasty deeds plus whats really going on with laws that these evil people are trying to pass let alone have passed. Thats why when the wall paper starts falling down they are going to be leaving on mass. As one said to my boss “I don’t want to end up like Mussolini” and if the American public finds out what we in congress have done we will all end up that way even if we had nothing to do with it.

        Jana, forgive me but I do not understand your use of the term ‘analogy’, and I am not sure that you do, either. Please don’t be offended if I suggest that you look up that word—it is the polite thing to do.

        I merely questioned the writer, Mary, I think, as to why she would suggest that Maxine Waters go to Africa. The job of Rep. Waters is to advocate for the people of the US as a whole, and those of Los Angeles in particular.

        My feeling is that Mary made the suggestion because Ms. Waters is Black, and for that reason only. Things like this are the reason that, despite the election of Barack Obama, this country still has not properly addressed the subject of Race.

      • Jana

        Alex,
        Thank you for explaining that you were just questioning why. Now though that brings up the subject that you think she was being racist?
