Dumbass postcard to Obama fromTN teaparty freak Rep.Fleischmann
http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2013/jul/27/postcard-runs-afoul-of-spelling-standards/Why would you put this out to the press if you were Fleischmann? Why?
Rep. Chuck Fleischmann's welcome message to the leader of the free world took Obama to task for policies that Fleischmann's called "burdensome" to Chattanooga-area businesses.
The congressman praised Tennessee's pro-growth, right-to-work policies and criticized the increasingly unpopular health care reform that Republicans call Obamacare.
His missive also added two new verbs to the English lexicon, while inventing an adjective and misspelling the name of one of the original 13 colonies.
(This seems esp. very unTeaparty like IMO)
"We appreciate that you are in town celebrting [sic] the businesses that have come to Tennessee thanks to our low regulation, low taxes and right-to-work policies," Fleischmann wrote in his faux postcard. "While here, I invite you to visist [sic] a few historial [sic], natural attractions like Ruby Falls, a true Chattanooga treasure."
The card was addressed to the president at "1600 Pensylvannia [sic] Avenue."
The author of a pretend postcard intended as an economics lesson for President Barack Obama could perhaps have benefited from more rigorous study in the fine art of spelling.
Fewer than half of Hamilton County TN students in grades 3 through 8 can read at their grade level, according to standardized test results.
That means more teaparty peeps in the making !!!

(11,304 posts)racist many in the state lost to the black man in the white house. My daughter-in-law's grandparents are dems who should vote always vote for dems. They voted for Hillary then when she lost they voted for McCain because they hate black people. I don't know why because they never lived or worked around them. Nothing but racist cowards.

(21,646 posts)Yes-Northern Urban heavy Dem areas had that happen too- racism is racism no matter who,where and whether they are irrationally sceptical , or scared, or real haters they all are discriminating on race and judging people by their cover or difference.

(11,304 posts)would not vote for Obama because he is black and they voted for Hillary. That is a fact. I'm sure people do that every where but it happens around here alot. Sadly races don't mix in this rural town I live in. But I have invited people of color to my home and I don't give a damn what people thing. That's all I am saying. I live in a rural town. I think they seem to hate hispanics more. But they work ver hard in the fields.

(11,304 posts)I have had the pleasure living around the world growing up in the Phillipines and europe and around the united states. I find that cultures are really neat. How boring it is for everyone to be the same. I also have lived in different communities with diversity. People really aren't different from each other. If people live in a decent neighborhood everyone wants it to stay nice no matter what color people are. Everyone living in that area want to keep up their property values. No one who cares about that would think different. So we should all embrace the different cultures and learn instead of trying to put people where they don't want to be. In the south for some reason many dislike hispanics just as much as blacks. I see no reason. When you treat people with respect you get the same respect back. I don't see that as hard. I have a friend and she has an hispanic family living next door to her and she can't stand it because they get together on the weekends and have parties. Well that is a cultural thing. It is no sense in trying to reason with her because as much as I care for her she is a racist. She says she hasn't nothing against people but a black person better never hug her. I was shocked she thought that way. Then I realized that is the way she was brought up. I pray my granddaughter doesn't end up hating minorities because I wasn't raised that way. I tell her not to judge a person by color or where they came from. Judge an individual by how they treat you. I tell her not to hate because someone is different then you or me. I hope it sinks in because on her mother's side they are racist. Her mother (my daughter-in-law) isn't so I see hope. Her half brother is typical redneck and I think he will be prejuiced because he makes comments sometimes. He is 10 yrs old. I have told him not to talk that way because he doesn't know what he is saying. I've told him I don't appreciate hate talk around his sister and I better not hear it. My son won't like his daughter hearing that kind of talk. I've told him to keep his hate talk at his father's house.
