What is going on behind these attacks; this simpleton excuse of labeling a critic with the “racist” designation. Are the people who seek a different form of governance just haters at heart? Can all our neighbors who want a balanced budget and less government everywhere just be out to take down minorities? Is that what motivates these otherwise normal looking folks? Is this teapartyphobic actor on to something? http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2011/09/23/morgan-freeman-obama-has-made-racism-worse-tea-party-will-do-whatever#ixzz1YnWDliVr Many of those with the racist allegations are minorities, mostly blacks as is the case with the actor.
If you embrace fundamentals are you racist?
American society, compared with most other world societies, is spectacularly tolerant. Unless you expect something for nothing. Considering the makeup and what little remains of openness in America, this place; this country; this melting pot offers the singular privilege of providing opportunity to anyone who will work hard. The culture of the society actually promotes this opportunity to do something; accomplish something; earn something; build something. If you wish to. Anyone who wants to work hard and save is going to accumulate some wealth. The key is working hard and saving. Sure there are people who are wealthy who don’t have to work hard. Sure there are those who cheat and skimp and make do off the work of others to benefit themselves. But there is nowhere on the globe where the simple combination of studying your three R’s coupled with hard work and a frugal approach to spending and a generous approach to saving offers a comparable wealth accumulation chance.
But the politics and economics and bureaucracy of the last 50 years (particularly the last 20) are now threatening the very fabric of this land of opportunity. And those who are suffering the most are not the well to do but the very middle and lower class folk who bought into the learn, study, work, save opportunity. They have been abandoned by a growing class of government sponsored beneficiaries who gain without the needed effort. And once they gain they grasp with deadly grips. They will not be discarded through words or political debates or legislative compromises. They will only be discarded through tough and repeated efforts to eliminate them. We doubt that many of the candidates or members of the opposition party recognize how severe the fight will be to dislodge the massive supporters of the party in power.
But it’s not all roses for the gang in power. The incumbent party in power is fighting for its survival. It has pursued destructive policies for so long now and embraced so many in the grasp of these policies that it knows itself that the end is near. It has no clue what to do next besides more of the same. If they could survive for two or four more years by throwing Obama under their bus they would. Which brings us back to where we started.
Obama’s problem is not the out of power party or the clamoring tea party folks who scare them. Time will tell if this gang can gain power and actually accomplish their objectives. Go ahead and call them names if you wish but Obama’s real problem is with his own ilk. Be it the actors or the party leaders or the ones who point fingers and call people names. Where do they go next? What they have built is not sustainable. It just doesn’t work. And all the clamoring and all the finger pointing and all the name calling coming from within their ranks and even from ignorant actors who get a few minutes on TV will not change the simple fact that this group has failed; their gimme polices have collided with the law of diminishing returns. They have no place to go.
Racism is not what is taking them down. Fundamentals are taking them down.
They use racism as a beard for failed policies. A mask. A deflection. Next time you hear some ignorant person use the racist word try to show some empathy. They just don’t know what else to do. They had a chance and they made bad choices. They can’t bring themselves to the simple conclusion that they choose false gods with false promises. They are losers. For the first time in history, it is not the haves who need to be thrown out; it is those who want something for nothing. JFKennedy said ask what can you do for your country. LBJohnson said sit back and the country will do it for you.
The Obama gang chose the wrong guy with the wrong policies.
Was Kennedy racist? Is Herman Cain racist?
By the way, did you realize that Mr. Cain is the only current candidate running for the nomination of President of the United States of America who is not; we repeat NOT, a politician. We like this guy.
Mr. Herman Cain. Several years ago.
