The case incited national outrage, leading to Cooper eventually losing her job (her company issued a statement about the incident, saying that they “do not tolerate racism of any kind”) during the same time that George Floyd’s death spurred a reckoning for racial justice worldwide. While the meme picked up traction with viral instances of specific white women defying COVID-19 stay-at-home orders, the most glaring example of this in 2020 (and a major reason for how Karen went viral this year, bringing a global dialogue about privilege to the forefront) was the case of Amy Cooper, a white woman who called the cops on a Black man who was bird-watching in Central Park. It became Internet shorthand this year for the menacing racism and blatant abuse of privilege exhibited by white women. Government.The term “Karen” has been bandied about for a couple years as the punchline of jokes about the privilege of suburban white women of a certain age, but it’s definitely no laughing matter.

#Congress term limits imeme professional
It is time for us to rid our government, yours and mine, of the professional politician by means of term limits and return to a “government of the people, by the people and for the people.” These two professional politicians looked like the poster children for the reprehensible mutation of a government of the party, by the party and for the party.Ĭontrol of the government needs to be returned to all the people, not just a few anointed party aristocrats. The “Democratic Response” was an unintentional censure of the professional politicians that have commandeered the government for the good of their political parties to the detriment of their constituents. Is this not what George Washington predicted over two hundred years ago about the effects on the government by the interest of political parties over the interests of the people? When did the transition occur that the demand for party allegiance required deserting their congressional oath of office under the constitution?
A debate ignored by the professional politicians for decades, with a tragedy resulting in human trafficking of women and children, narcotic infestations, economic decay and domestic fatalities.Įach of these statements in and of themselves is disturbing but taken together they outline a calculated control of the many by a few in the political party to impose their will on the masses and make the masses support the few. A debate ignored while congress took their traditional August recess to campaign and lobby for financial contributions to their employer, the party. The only answer offered by these poster children was to “reopen” government “…while allowing debate over the border security to continue.” A debate ignored by the party nobility because it would interfere with their Christmas vacations at expensive resorts and weekends with the lobbyists. The response advocated a defense of business as usual in congress with a “bipartisan” continuing resolution, no substantive recommendations to end the crisis and a plethora of personal attacks. One has represented her political party on Capitol Hill since 1987, 31 years the other since 1981, 37 years. The Democratic response by the Speaker of the House and the Senate minority leader to the President’s Oval Office speech on the border crisis was delivered by the poster children for term limits.
