Sheila
Jackson Lee is a nine-term
Democrat from Texas’ 18th Congressional District and a member of the Socialist Party of America. She is one of the many serious contenders in “the worst of a bad
lot” contest. During
a speech on the House floor in March she claimed that the United States
Constitution is 400 years old! Really!
She gets the Congressional bonehead award for asking if the
Mars Pathfinder had taken an image of the flag planted there in 1969 by Neil
Armstrong! Rep. Vernon Ehlers quipped, “We just don’t teach enough science.”
Worse, she is a member of the House Science Committee’s
space subcommittee. Perhaps some committee reassignments are in order.
Rep. Peter King
(R-N.Y.), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, convened a June 2011
hearing to consider threats against the U.S. posed by radical Islam. At the hearing Rep. Lee suggested that "Christian militants" posed a
comparable threat to the rule of law in the United States as Islamic radicals.
Just last year, Jackson Lee went on seven-day trip through
Asia and stuck the taxpayers with the $23,646
bill. That is just ONE Congresswoman taking ONE trip. But, she is
not alone… career pols routinely take
extravagant foreign trips at taxpayers expense.
It gets worse: She told the House
Judiciary Committee that the “penalty” the health-care law imposes on
individuals who do not buy health insurance is not, in fact, a penalty. The law
itself states: “If an applicable individual fails to meet the requirement of
subsection (a) [having a government-approved health-insurance policy]… there is
hereby imposed a penalty with respect to the individual.” Elsewhere, in a
section entitled “Payment of Penalty,” it says that individuals failing to
carry a government-approved health insurance policy must pay a maximum penalty
of $750. In her view, however, this language does not actually impose a
penalty: “I would make the argument,
one, that instead it is an incentive to do right--that it is not penalizing
because penalty is punishment,” Jackson-Lee told the Judiciary Committee.
During the debt ceiling debate, who thought of race being a factor in some way? For Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, who often plays the race card to deflect attention from issues at hand, of course they are related! The Hill reported that Jackson Lee thinks members of Congress are purposely making it difficult for President Obama to raise the debt ceiling because he is black. She uses the race card so much that one of our correspondents exclaimed that “the "card" must really be worn and torn by now!”
The Socialist
Party of America announced in their October 2009 newsletter
that 70 Congressional democrats currently belong to their caucus, including
Sheila Jackson Lee. She
favors socialist regimes and has urged better relations between the U.S. and Venezuela, which
she describes as a friendly nation. She said the U.S. Venezuela 's
anti-American relations with Iran
and Cuba.
A socialist is someone who has read Lenin and Marx. An
anti-socialist is someone who understands Lenin
and Marx.~ Ronald Reagan
