John-Hall attends a Tea Party

"Once you become involved with the freedoms that you have, you learn to love them. God bless the Founding Fathers!" said Republican James Jones, running for Congress in Bucks County, the only black candidate there. .."



Dear friends,

We've been hearing a lot about the Tea Party lately. I saw a television interview, about a week ago, where the organization's newly-elected president, an elderly British woman who came to the States some years back, talk about the aims of her group. Interestingly enough, the just mentioned Englishwoman seemed more proud of her native origin than being an "American".

Additionally, a quack named James Jones, an apparent incognegro, took the stage, at some point, during the Tea Party's recent Philadelphia rally. As one of my siblings and I have always maintained, "No matter how stupid some 'white' folks get, there is always, at least, one Black person who will join them, grinning all the while."

In any case, on the link below, one of North America's premier journalists, Annette John-Hall of the Philadelphia Inquirer, gives us an up close look at an afternoon with the "Teabaggers". Cheers!
