From Denny: There is just something about this Tea Party that reminds me of howling barking dogs. The cartoonists have rightly taken to task Republican Tea Party folk hero Rand Paul for his stance on civil rights. If the Republicans and Paul had their way the Civil Rights Act of 1964 would be reversed, sending over 15% of our country back into second class "slavery only" status. Along with that would go the way of women's rights and then over half the country would be denied advancement.
Why, oh, why are there still people in this country who choose to sideline half of the productivity in America? It's just not practical and certainly not very Christian of them. Jesus was the earliest promoter of women's rights, even elevating them to leadership roles in his Gospel campaign alongside the original 12 Apostles. Jesus also elevated African slaves to leadership status. Jesus was an Alpha leader who looked into the hearts of people and saw their potential and gave them the opportunities to act to develop their leadership abilities.
The Republicans really are poised to go the way of the Whig Party: extinction. Once the older Baby Boomers die off, so too will go the majority of racists to the grave. Meanwhile, we have to tolerate incendiary inept politicians like Rand Paul who claims to be The Great White Hope.
So, sit back and enjoy the laughs at the Tea Party's expense as today's socially minded cartoonists mock the hell out of them.
