Critique on an article from Texas Insider


I recently found an article on the Texas insider website entitled Star Parker: Tea Party is the solution not the problem.  Nothing captures the distortions being perpetrated more than the above headline by Ms. Star Parker: “Tea Party is the solution, not the problem”
How can and one in the right mind make such a fallacious statement when the facts are contrary to that opinion? Parker’s commentary reminds of an old African adage that says “when a woman cooks a soup that is distasteful to everyone, she claims she cooks it to sooth her own taste”
          
          Star Parker went on to cite several opinion polls, studies, and commentaries that satisfies her claim that the current impasse in congress is no fault of her tea party minority group
The fact remains that Star Parker is a Republican political activist, a politician in her own right, but pretends in her write-up as if she is just an average Joe expressing her opinion.
Stars failed to understand that the minority congress men that call themselves ‘tea Party” cannot hold the will of the American people ransom for their ideologue. The so called Tea Part is not even a legally registered political party, but bunch of ideologues that are bent on destroying the huge gains that the Obama Administration has man in the last 6years in office. Where, where these people when their former Republican president fought two wars without allocating any funds in the budget to pay for either?

          It is no wonder they lost the last presidential election because they refused to be truthful to the American people as what policies or programs they will implement once elected. President Obama unlike his opponent Mitt Romney, A quasi-Tea party candidate refuse to tell the American people the truth about he  would balance the budget or what programs he would purse as president, and guess what the American people saw through their lies and rejected them.  The Tea party crowd and their Republican sympathizers went before the most conservative supreme court of our time to seek redress according to them to kill the Obama care but were soundly defeated. Now the same people are trying to hold the entire country hostage and through “extortion” in the words of President Obama to extract from the American People what they could not get through a general election.
Assuming for a moment that Ms. Star was right in her poll that majority of American do not support the Obamacare, the same majority of American would have supported her Republican Congress who are trying to save them for the impending obamacare doom, but the facts do not add up.
The fact remain that congress has only 9% support of the American people; the lowest ever in the history of this congress.
The give and take approach to governance between the Democrats and the Republicans that once existed has been completely eroded by these new Tea party Ideologues.
These ideologues would not even allow for a floor vote on the congress floor; up or down.
