[Origanalist]

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) either misspoke or showed her historical ignorance in a speech on the House floor when she declared that United States has been operating under our Constitution for 400 years...

Yee Haw! I feel safer already!

Let's give her moar power...

[Spikender]

We haven't been operating under shit for the past 200 and some change years. If she honestly thinks our country today is a product of operating under the Constitution, she doesn't know anything about the document.

[Intoxiklown]

Without looking up anything about her, I bet she is black, yes?

I say that because of the "400 years of slavery!" line I hear people talk about what they are owed. Which, granted, I am not an expert on the history of slavery, but I was unaware of settlers utilizing huge slave trade to settle America in the 1600s.

[Ender]

Wha....?

[2young2vote]

Well, if we had socialized schools then she would have received a good and equal education.

Well that fucking explains a lot. With stupid fucks like that on Terrorism committees, all anyone has to says is, "We need this because we saw a TERRORIST!!! OOOOOHHH! BOOGEY MAN!!! UGA BUGA coming to get you!!!"

and idiots like this will line up and say, "OH MY GOD! DO IT! GIVE THEM WHATEVER THEY NEED! KEEP US SAFE!!"

[Weston White]

She is an absolutely clueless individual, so who honesty cares what she believes, says, or thinks? ...Err, so long long as she does not do it or act upon it while serving under public office:


Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, a Democrat from Texas, said on Tuesday afternoon that repealing the national health care law would violate the Constitution.

Arguing that the Commerce Clause provides the constitutional basis for ObamaCare, Jackson Lee said repealing the law by passing Republicans' H.R. 2 violates both the Fifth Amendment's right to due process and the Fourteenth Amendment's equal protection clause.

I think what bothers me the most is the knowledge that she has a higher income than most, if not all, of us. Some of these people are so fucking stupid that I want to throw a hundred kittens from atop the peak of Mount Everest just to blow off some steam. What's worse, is that she is, in all probability, of above-average intelligence...

“Maybe I should offer a good thanks to the distinguished members of the majority, the Republicans, my chairman and others, for giving us an opportunity to have a deliberative constitutional discussion that reinforces the sanctity of this nation and how well it is that we have lasted some 400 years, operating under a constitution that clearly defines what is constitutional and what is not.”

“And I want to say to my colleagues that I stand here asking us to do what we did not do in Vietnam. Was to recognize the valiant and outstanding service of our men and women. And to understand that victory had been achieved. Today we have two Vietnams, side by side, North and South, exchanging and working. We may not agree with all North Vietnam is doing, but they are living in peace. I would look for better human rights record for North Vietnam, but they're living side by side. Because that was a civil war. And because the leadership of this nation did not listen to the mothers and fathers who borned the burden of 58,000 dead and did not declare victory, the mounting death, the violence continued going up and up. Rather than understanding the political nature of the war in Vietnam, we did not listen to those families.”

[HOLLYWOOD]

A Congresswoman called for hurricanes to be given African-American names
http://www.snopes.com/racial/language/hurricane.asp


July 2003, Texas representative Sheila Jackson Lee (http://www.jacksonlee.house.gov/) (a member of the NAACP and the Congressional Black Caucus, and an ardent supporter of the civil rights leadership) criticized the weather establishment for its selection of names with which to christen hurricanes, stating that "All racial groups should be represented."

Well, it appears our African American friends have found something else to be pissed about. A black congresswoman (this would be Sheila Jackson Lee, of Houston) reportedly complained that the names of hurricanes are all Caucasian-sounding names.

She would prefer some names that reflect African-American culture such as Chamiqua, Woeisha, and Jamal. I can hear it now: A black weatherman in Houston saying ...

"Wordup, Muthas! Herr-i-cane Chamiqua be headin' fo' Galveston like Leroy on a crotch rocket! Bitch be a category fo'! So, turn off dem chitlins, grab yo' chirren, leave yo crib, and head fo' de nearest FEMA office fo yo FREE shit!"

Trust me, they only see the D and then check the box.

The average person knows nothing about the people that run their local, state or even federal government.

The worst about this all is that it isn't shocking to me and probably isn't shocking to you either.

Sheila Jackson Lee: Racist and Moron

Posted By Daniel Greenfield On July 27, 2011 @ 12:31 am In Daily Mailer,FrontPage | 209 Comments (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/#comments_controls)

Bad news for America: we’re facing a serious deficit of crazyiness Insane Democrats used to fill the aisles, as James Traficant, Alan Grayson and Cynthia McKinney fought aliens, anti-psychotic meds and the voices in their heads. But sadly elections have taken their toll on the dumbest and craziest congressmen. Now we’ve only got David Wu and Sheila Jackson-Lee to kick around.

Sheila Jackson-Lee might be the dumbest person in congress. She might even be the dumbest person outside congress. If there were ever a global championship for idiots, the country could send her there. And leave her there; because unlike Lassie, she wouldn’t be able find her way back on her own.

When Enron wanted someone to use as a puppet, they picked Sheila Jackson-Lee. They wanted a woman who didn’t have a mind of her own. Enron executives described her as “agreeable” (http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=981), which was a polite way of saying, “dumber than a bunch of rocks caught in the hubcaps of a slow bus going the wrong way on a one way street in the middle of a flood.”

Jackson-Lee’s only qualification for sitting on the Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics was the space between her ears. She visited JPL and asked if the Mars Rover would be able to show “the flag the astronauts planted there before”. Staffers were reportedly surprised that she didn’t complain about cost overruns on the Death Star.

In February, Congress was debating federal spending. And Sheila Jackson-Lee got up to make her contribution denouncing a Pepsi commercial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dFuWADnpIg) as racist. Other things that Jackson-Lee has denounced as racist include hurricanes, a balanced budget and secret service agents. Crying “Racism” is actually her only life skill.

In 2003, Sheila Jackson-Lee complained that hurricane names were too “lilly white” and said that “All racial groups should be represented.” She suggested (http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=981) Hurricanes “Keisha, Jamal and Deshawn”.

Last year, Lee tried to denounce the Tea Party as racist at an NAACP meeting, but in the middle of it she forgot the word for sheets (http://gatewaypundit.firstthings.com/2010/07/dem-rep-sheila-jackson-lee-tells-naacp-all-those-who-wore-sheets-a-long-time-ago-lifted-them-off-to-wear-tea-party-clothing-applause/), and condemned them for wearing, “uh, clothing with a name.” Which is exactly how most of the rest of Congress refers to her.

Not only has Jackson-Lee voted against every national security measure she could think of, but she actually goes out looking for dictators to support. She invited Assad (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1041597/posts) to speak in Texas, urged F-16 parts sales to Hugo Chavez, called for an end to economic sanctions against Saddam and participated in an event conducted by an Iranian regime front group against military action on Iran. She might be considered a walking security risk, if she actually knew anything.

Last last year she got up on the House floor (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XK3rTUgoQD4) to celebrate the victory in Vietnam and the “two Vietnams, side by side, North and South.”

There probably isn’t a single member of congress less fit to understand how the government works or what her duties are. Jackson-Lee opposed repealing Obamacare because that would violate the Fifth Amendment’s (http://spectator.org/blog/2011/01/18/shelia-jackson-lee-says-repeal) right to Due Process. An Amendment that had so little to do with the topic at hand that she might as well have picked it by throwing a dart at the Bill of Rights. In one sentence, she proved that she had never read the Bill of Rights and had no idea what Due Process even means.

But while Sheila Jackson-Lee might know as much about the Bill of Rights, as she does about Vietnam or what a hurricane is– she does know how to get attention. Before a State of the Union address, she makes sure to get herself an aisle seat (http://blog.chron.com/txpotomac/2011/01/sheila-jackson-lee-says-shes-not-an-aisle-hog-151-shes-busy-working-for-houston/) so she can be seen shaking hands with the president. But not only is she an aisle hog, she’s also a floor hog.

Jackson-Lee’s floor hog antics got so bad, that congressional staffers ran a pool (http://liveweb.archive.org/http:/www.houstonpress.com/2004-02-12/news/talky-you-bet/) for the rare day when she doesn’t get up to speak. Because someone has to denounce those racist Pepsi commercials and call for affirmative action for hurricanes. And with Traficant fresh out of jail and Cynthia McKinney on a boat to Gaza– it’s all up to her.

Whether it’s trying to barge into the Treasury Building or demanding First Class upgrades or an entire row of seats to herself from airlines– rudeness and entitlement are second nature to a woman whose only achievement in life was to ride a sponsorship as the crony of the most corrupt company in America to a lifetime race card.

“I am a queen, and I demand to be treated like a queen,” Sheila Jackson-Lee once reportedly said. It may be that she knows so little about government that she actually thinks she was elected to be a queen. The Queen of Racism, perhaps. Racism is her answer to everything. If there’s a problem that can’t be solved by crying racism, Jackson-Lee has never heard of it.

Should the dumbest woman in congress, who began her career serving a corrupt corporation, and has a 3 percent rating from Citizens Against Government Waste, who can’t tell a planet from a satellite, doesn’t know what the Bill of Rights says and uses her position to denounce commercials she doesn’t like from the House floor, really even be in Congress?

Of course she should. For the 174,000 dollars we pay congressmen, the least we can get back is a little entertainment.
