A protester at Saturday's Tea Party on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. said "We are losing our country, we think the Muslims are moving in and taking over." NBC Nightly News interviewed the woman, who was surrounded by fellow protesters as she made the remarks. Of course, she declined to give her name. Why am I not surprised about that?
Participants at the event, billed "March on Washington" by its organizers, rallied against President Obama's health care plan and what they say is out-of-control spending. It is amazing that these people didn't come out of the woodwork when President George W. Bush squandered our money, sent our soldiers to fight a war in Iraq on the basis of a lie and gave Osama bin Laden enough time to high-tail it out of Afghanistan. Wow. It's amazing that these people didn't march on Washington D.C. when the country fell in the worst economic decline in recent history. So what if President Barack Obama was a Muslim? Aren't there a lot of decent, law-abiding Muslims in this country? This behavior is a throwback to the racial unrest that existed in this country during one of its darkest moments.
I would much rather remember the outpouring of support for President Barack Obama and his historic inauguration day, than this madness organized by Glenn Beck, Dick Armey & Co.
