Cesca's article tells one (tea party protester) woman's story, "...She remembers her years working in federal housing programs, watching government lift struggling families with job training and education. She beams at the memory of helping a Vietnamese woman get into junior college.

But all that was before the Great Recession and the bank bailouts, before Barack Obama took the White House by promising sweeping change on multiple fronts, before her son lost his job and his house. Mrs. Stout said she awoke to see Washington as a threat, a place where crisis is manipulated -- even manufactured -- by both parties to grab power..."

What I see is a group of older white people who are fine with diversity as long as they are the ones overseeing the game... as long as they are the ones helping the 'poor, people of color'... as long as they are on top and in control... these people don't understand cooperation and the concept that we as a country are only as well off as the least of us.
