"There are more of us whites[racists] than you, no matter how many brown peoples you cobble together. Know your place. It's not 2008 and we're not sleeping anymore and will prove it at the polls. Bet me I'm wrong."
Said to my face.
All the economic rhetoric and nonsense about taxes, don't bother listening or responding to it. They really don't care. The Tea Party is just about proving there are still more jim-crow sympathizers than there are those of us who are living in the 21st century. And the only metric they are looking at is November elections.
