Hater's Beware!

If someone were ignorant enough to mock a member of the Jewish faith for wearing his traditional yamaka, society would be quick to call him anti-Semitic . If they made light of the wearing of traditional African tribal dress like Kente cloth, Ghanaian smock, or a Kente buba and skirt set, we'd define them as racist. Same holds true for the Islamic burka, or any other clothing worn because they are all expressions of heritage and symbols of the struggles their forefathers endured. We hold dear to those people's rights of free speech and dress here in the United States of America!

So why is it acceptable for those who oppose the Tea Party movement to openly mock the wearing of traditional dress and tri-cornered hats of the founding fathers? The people who feel it necessary to wear this tribute to those who pioneered our country are simply remembering where their heritage and roots came from. Does anyone label the Tea Party critics as racist or call them out for the haters they are? Why not?

The left of this country label Tea Party activists as fringe, or a minority movement. Isn't it still an act of hate to diminish a minority's heritage, and dress? The left is quick to paint the facade of being the protector of the minority, yet still they diminish someone who is expressing their solidarity with their forefathers, because they can't benefit from exploiting it. That speaks volumes as to where the progressive's heart is. I'm with ya brother, as long as I can count on your vote, if I can't then the heck with your civil rights. I'll just make fun of you and call you a lunatic, because of the way you dress. I wonder if George Washington would have opted for a different style when crossing the Delaware, had he known his painting would be displayed, and people who emulated his dress would have been named loons because of it?

Personally, it'd have to be a big money wager to get me in a tri-cornered hat, powdered wig, pantaloons, and a white ruffled shirt, but I'll never disparage someone honoring their heritage. In fact, I'm going to begin to call out everyone who does, as the anti-patriot they are. I'm proud of how this country began, patriotism isn't just for the 4th of July. There is no call to toss slurs at the patriotic, actually that behavior is the opposite of being patriotic; Isn't that still called treason?

God Bless!
