The New Face of American Racism and the Next Face on Mount Rushmore
Being an evangelical Christian (albeit one with the occasional potty mouth. I'm a humble work in progress) I am fighting the temptation to give the left a taste of what it feels like to constantly read and hear crap like, "Chimpy McBushitler" and other nasty, derogatory, and very stupid things they called former President Bush. I was thinking about referring to President Barack Obama as President B.O., or if he really does something that torques me off, just call him Stinky. But then I would be just like the whining, sniveling, Che worshippers at the Daily Koz, wouldn't I? Even though this has gotten we conservatives absolutely NOWHERE everytime we've practiced it, I going to be respectful and take the high road...for now.
But what I wanted to address is quite a bit more insidious and sinister. It's the sudden rise in racism against those of us with less melanin in their skin, in it's more or less covert stages, that is surrounding the new administration. Now while it has not reared it's ugly head within the new administration, the fact that Obama comes with some of this baggage (remember his pastor, the right racist Rev. Wright?) gives one pause to wonder if this is going to continue, or even accelerate with the new administration. I am well aware that racism has been a part of our dark past in America. And I am also well aware of some of the things suffered by blacks under white governance some 40 YEARS AGO. Mr. Obama himself pledged to unite the nation as Americans..not whites, blacks, hispanics, asians, etc., but one nation (they don't like "Under God" in Libland, but they'll have to answer for that later..not me.), so why is it Barack Obama is surrounding himself with people who make statements like this:
1. Innauguration ceremony. Rev. Joseph Lowery's benediction. It seemed to be harmless pablum enough. You can read the entire text yourself:
http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5h4SrWpZNd-yocKSO7_9FO51iLJowD95R4RTG0
If you want just the Cliff Notes, here's the money line..last paragraph:
Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get in back, when brown can stick around ... when yellow will be mellow ... when the red man can get ahead, man; and when white will embrace what is right.
Now, I don't know obout you, but I think as a whole, "whites" try to embrace what is right, not all and not all of the time, much as is the same case for all colors, but of course he didn't mention that. He just made the inferrence that whitey did the "wrong' thing. He either made a stupid choice in prose in order to rhyme, which should have been caught by all of the elitist liberals that think they are so much smarter than everyone else OR they saw it and thought a little institutionalized payback would be Ok to slip in there. I think the latter is the case, and Rev. Lowery is one of those old guard race-baiters. Bad whitey. Bad whitey.
2. On January 6, a moldy oldy from the Clinton days emerged to help with the Obama transition to power. You remember the wee Clintonista and former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, don't you?? Well, this troll's been teaching under a bridge at Berkeley (wow. Big surprise.) and now he's come out from under it to help tell the new president how he should disperse the handout..err..bailout...err stimulus...err recovery funds:
http://michellemalkin.com/2009/01/22/robert-reich-keep-stimulus-money-away-from-skilled-workers-and-white-male-contractors/
So, by Reich's own mouth , we really shouldn't give ANY money to the eeeevil white contractors, even though they are competent and experts at construction and he has admitted as much. It would be better to give that stimulus money to an untrained minority to build that roof over your child's head, or design that bridge you're gonna drive your family over. I know. I know. You may get caught up in a repeat performance of the I-35 disaster, but as you plunge you can meet your maker with your family knowing that the substandard roadway that just collapsed beneath you was built by substandard, undereducated labor, you can feel better that they got a paycheck for the disaster they built and not that evil white contractor. What's even more funny is that the skilled labor unions said absolutely nothing about this comment.
3. Where do I go with this one, and why should I be surprized? You remember how the media touted that the rapper, JayZ would be at the innaugural festivities? Read 'em and weep folks. Racism at it's worst:
http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1603038/20090119/jay_z.jhtml
Here's a snip:
"No more white lies, my president is black!"
Why am I entertaining the prose of this scumbag? Because he was a part of the unifying and all-inclusive innauguration festivities. I guess we are still haters if we don't submit to white guilt and admit we are the cause of everything bad that happens. And this is different from past racism exactly....how?
Two wrongs don't make a right. Having our turn under the jackboot of oppression does nothing but make yet another crop of bad guys and another crop of angry victims, and the cycle goes on and on ad infinatum. Just like satan wants it to.
In closing, I want everyone to realize something. I don't know if it's white guilt, a need to play nice with the world or what; but no matter what it is, you can be sure of one thing; The Barack Obama presidency will go down in history as a raving success. The only thing that would stop that is if he did something so overtly heinous that the media, whom loves everything about him, would have to report something bad about him. They are two vested. They are all committed now. The first black president cannot fail. He will not. They will be sure of it. He will go down in history as a legend, and stories will be fabricated about him just like Washington and Lincoln. I always thought it would be Reagan up there among the greats, and he deserved it, defeating Soviet communism, but it will never come to pass. The next face to appear on Mount Rushmore will be that of the 44th president. Hide and watch.

What's old is new again...LBJ style!
So I'm investigating this upsurge in social end-stage syphillis that we call liberalism, and I realize that the disease is not contained to The Beltway, but has popped up all over Uncle Sugar's carcass! A blogger friend of mine...Endangered In Massachusetts, one of the few conservatives left in that state (I'm proud to say i know all three personally!) sent me a link about the Gestapo like shenanigans going on with the powers that be there, along with his comments:
Overweight and Untermensch:
http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2009/01/08/state_readies_campaign_to_curb_obesity_epidemic/
The money quote:
"The administration's battle against bulging waistlines also calls for public schools to measure the height and weight of first-, fourth-, seventh-, and 10th-graders and calculate whether a child is overweight"
Which instantly reminds me of this:"
(ED.- Here EIM inserts an infamous picture of someone having their nose measured by the Nazis for compliance)
"Enter the Chubstopo. Think the schools will be handing this information back to the state? How long before the state starts having the Chubbos report what they eat at home. How long before the Chubstopo (state) takes the fat kids away from the parents who don't comply with state mandated weight loss diets using exisiting child endangerment laws?
Need a bypass. Sorry fatso. No free healthcare for you. You may be over weight but you are untermensch.
Now consider the impending conflagulation of government health and mental health parity. Consider the increase in genetic consideration in the Mental Health/ Phsycho-quack Industrial Complex and the fact the government will be the provider, the sky's the limit on the number of ways to institionalize the "mentally ill".
And so it begins or should I say continues..all that is old is truly new again."
Indeed my friend. What's old IS new again. But it's the new disciples of Liberalism Gone Wild that trouble me. It's this sudden upsweep of mindlessness into what we used to call mainstreet. What the left so lovingly calls the flyover states. Even my beloved South is not immune:
http://www.usnews.com/articles/news/stimulus/2009/01/08/why-a-tiny-alabama-town-wants-a-375-million-chunk-of-the-stimulus.html
Did you see this story? The city of Edwardsville, AL, that has a population of 194 has asked for 375 million dollars in bailout aid to convert them to "green" technology. Of course, the mayor of said town argues that actually does not amount to over 2 million dollars per resident, but actually more like $4690 per person, as this "greening" will actually benefit or impact up to 80,000 rural resudents, how he came up with that number or how it's going to benefit them he's not stated in congruent sentences. The twenty-first century version of the Roman breadline spreads like a cancer, even in areas where you thought people had more walking around sense!
Speaking of no walking around sense, I see the 111th
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/01/06/AR2009010602976_2.html
Now if we Republicans did that, the cries of foul would be heard from the gal who thinks Obama is going to pay her mortgage all the way to the scrotal inflators in San Fransisco! But we hear not a peep from those in Congress and soon-to-be-extinct republicans. Their second little piece of legislative wonderment was to give a nod to the Fair Pay Act:
http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/opinion/la-ed-ledbetter10-2009jan10,0,7091859.story
I'm not saying this is an entirely bad piece of legislation, although if a person is too stupid to negotiate a competitive salary, they get what they deserve, but don't you think this could've waited a little while longer while we try to keep Americans from getting ousted from their jobs and their homes?
So I'm back in the saddle for more frivolity and laughs than conservatives deserve. After all, we asked for this by voting the linguini-spined conservatives we got into office the last go round. While we circle the bowl I think we ought to laugh at this madness - laugh to keep from crying.

I held her hand as she took her last breath...

You Can Almost Smell the Desparation!!
To be honest, I haven't been so all-fired interested so much in John McCain ascending to the highest office in the country that I love so much (I have held nothing back at my distaste for him as a candidate) as I have thwarting the stealth plans for a communist sympathizer ( see -http://www.aim.org/aim-column/obamas-communist-mentor/ ) and friend of anti-American radicals (William Ayers..just Google "Weather Underground") to "change" this country in the same way Castro and Chavez "changed" theirs. At NO time in our history has a presidential candidate had so many ties to so many people who hate America! My motivation has been to defeat this stealth candidate..until McCain had a momentary breath of sanity and nominated a REAL REGULAR AMERICAN as his VP pick! I, like many conservatives have something to look forward to; I for one am hoping that McCain only opts for one term and the reigns of the country can be turned over to someone closer to middle America. One can hope, can't he?
The most striking thing I see since Sarah Palin was nominated as McCain's running mate is this; Can you believe the clamour and the scrambling to discredit this woman by the Obama camp AND the MSM??!! It has become frantic, frenzied and very desparate. After all, the Obamessiah has tanked 10 points this week in the polls (That's one helluva post GOP convention "bump"!) and 15 points among independent likeley voters, with some poll saying he's now lost 20 percent of his support among women!! Astounding! Outstanding!!
Here's just a few of the funny, yet desparate attempts to skewer this lady:
- Just today Obama took a swipe at Palin's "soccer mom's are pitbulls with lipstick" addage, by stating that "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig." Now I'm a good ol' boy, so pardon me for saying that anyone that had made that inference about my wife, senator or not, would be at the local clinic having a shoe rectally extracted.
- Also today, Joe Biden, the poster child for Democratic cronyism, had the stones to say that that Palin "Would be a backward step for women" ( http://briefingroom.thehill.com/2008/09/09/biden-palin-would-be-backward-step-for-women/ ). This is so damn funny, considering Hillary won't say a word about her (she knows her own party sold her out and sees an opportunity to defeat Obama) and Geraldine Feraro has hinted that she might not tow the party line! Seems to me Joe, that if that's the case, then how far back did your party push women by not even nominating one? Hell! She wasn't even considered!
- Govenor David Patterson ( You know..the lucky shmuck who looks like a cross-eyed, short -haired shoe-bombing Richard Reed who just happened to be at the right place at the right time!) said..again just today mind you...that calling Obama a "community organizer" was code for calling him black! Hunh!? What the!?? Who knew?? Well, by that I guess the Dems think Jesus is black because of last weeks Dem response that "Jesus was a community organizer."
- On top of all of this niceness, MTV hires a Brittish hitman (he's gotta be that because calling that cross-dresser a comedian was a stretch even Manute Bol couldn't reach!) who not only skewers a sitting president (who gives them a ton of reasons, I'll admit) but makes some fowl and lewd comments about Sarah Palin, even offending some other MTV guests. But hey! We all knew they were carrying water for the jackasses anyway.
Wow. this in just 24 hours. I haven't even touched the surface of the viscious attacks the Obama camp is making AGAINST PALIN...NOT McCAIN!! Why? Because he can't beat her! Middle American...the ones clinging to guns and religion...like the hell out of the girl! I even wanted a bumper sticker that said, "McCain hell!! Palin for President!" The white folks that David Patterson, Rev. Wright and others on the Obama bus (be careful! it's ran over several already!) have maligned for now 18 months have come out of their malaise and now like what they see! And I guess they forgot, but we're still the majority, and we realize we don't have to be guilted into voting for someone who will destroy our democracy from the inside, no matter what damn color he is!! And NOW the chickens have come home to roost......
What you're seeing, my friends, and that smell you're smelling, is the stench of fear and desparation. Both are signs of weakness. The American people will tolerate a lot in a president (and have), but one thing they won't tolerate is weakness! Don't believe me? How many terms did Jimmy "444 days" Carter serve again?

An open letter to those who have a constant lovefest with the dead bearded guy who liked hanging around The Galapagos
Now, I'm not going to write one of those I apologize but... pieces. My apology has no strings attached; just a simple mea culpa. I would, however, like to take an opportunity to explain why I think I was driven over the edge, and why many of us who left the site recently were ( the majority of us being people of faith).
There has been an ongoing argument for a few months at LGF concerning a visceral hatred by many of the bloggers there, as well as Charles, pinpointed at the creationists ( actually if we use the "racist" moniker, creationists would be an incorrect syntax - that would mean hater of creation) OK...pro-creation proponents' "intelligent design" theories. There were, and are, pro-Darwin advocates there who were, and still are, obsessed with making these believers in an alternate origin look as heinous, as backwards, and as stupid as they possibly could. They justify their actions by citing stories where the pro-ID lobby had introduced state legislation requiring intelligent design be taught alongside Darwinism. Now, folks, I've been known to have been called a "hysterical shrieker" a time or two, but even I am not so emotional to think that this kind of legislation would not pass the US Circuit Court's "smell test", much less the US Supreme Court! Come on folks! This is the same kind of ravenous fear mongering that forced the Quakers to leave Europe to flee persecution. I imagine The Crown thought they were just as justified in vilifying them because they had a different idea of Christianity. Only here we have laws CREATED BY US, not The Crown, and so far that very same law has bent over backward to make damn sure that ALL traces of religion are sterilized from the government sector - especially schools! Why would intelligent design be any different?
I am not, I repeat, NOT a proponent of intelligent design. As a matter of fact, I'm one of those strange folks who believes that God might just like to do things in stages; that He just might like things to simmer before they're done. Oh! You don't believe in God? Well, I'm sorry that you're silly that way, but this is not where I want to address your problem. That needs to be done one on one.
This, my friends, was not my fight. I thought it was stupid and a distraction; a divisive issue that drove a wedge between the faithful and the secular, and made us take our eyes off the goal...fighting Islamism. Way to go folks!! You're trying to prove the addage "divided we fall". Many of you fell for this, as I think this was a ruse to draw attention to the blog and increase hits. Everybody loves in-fighting. It's bound to drive those vaunted numbers up, wouldn't it? Beautiful, and all at the expense of a unified front against Islamism. I don't know of many people of faith capable of that kind of vitriolic hatred.
The thing that irritated me so much about this infighting was the one-sided nature of it. The appalling comparisons of IDers to Islamists (damn "ist" suffix); to white supremacists; to Apartheid! And when anyone tried to ask, cajole, or demand that the carnage be stopped, they were either banned, their comments deleted, or they were belittled. But when those of no faith started to ramp up the attacks with statements like calling the Ten Commandments , "those ten stupid idiotic rules", and others just as nasty, there was not one peep from the moderator. Not very moderate, is it?
Oh, I know that there were a few people of faith who said that it wasn't an attack on other faithful; that is was just "heated debate". That was one faithful's opinion, and of course we all know by now the particulars about opinions. Obviously, those opinions were not shared by the myriads of faithful Judeo-Christians who left in disgust at the mean-spirited blog site that LGF had become. Some of it have dubbed this exodus the Diaspora v.2.0.
Finally, I am not going to go through the wasted notion of sharing my faith and beliefs on those who will not be moved one iota. I will not cast my pearls on swine. I do want to share this with you. Those "crazy IDers" that you love to malign so much, have donated MILLIONS of dollars of their own money (you see, many of those fundamentalist nuts you're so afraid of run organizations that are pro-Israel) to keeping the Chosen people - God's people alive and in their homeland. And fighting to destroy those who support Israel is kind of like saying you support the troops, then refusing to fund them! Are you folks really sure which side you're on?

The Irony of It All
As I and my youngest conversed over a game of Scrabble, her asking me pointed questions about the upcoming presidential election, and something hit me like a brick right between the eyes. I was dazed for a moment, never having been smacked by irony before. So I picked up the irony (my daughter had already whipped my butt twice in Scrabble, so I was ready to bow out gracefully) and I started looking at it carefully. It was really amazing; I mean the convoluted, multifaceted nature of it boggled the mind. Here we have the presumed Republican nominee, a twenty plus year veteran of the Senate; a man who has spent considerable time crafting his "maverick" image while totally pissing conservatives off, just to make sure he has enough face time. It's an easy trail to follow that every time the camera dimmed on the man, he was looking for the next opportunity to get his face out there at the expense of the core of his own party. And please, I know he was a POW, and I'm proud that he did at least one thing noble in his career. Of course, it was probably the result of his mediocre flying skills that almost got him booted out of Pensacola NAS until the admiral pulled some strings to graduate him; but I digress. That is another story for another time.
So McCain has been a shameless self-promoter who'll even slap the elephant on the butt for a photo op. This kind of ego serving led him to hitch his wagon to Russ Feingold's star. Russ Feingold, the Wisconsin Democratic Senator, who in his fifteen year Senate tenure has never ONCE voted against the party line on ANY issue. If ever there was a party hack who would mindlessly follow whatever his party's is - Feingold's your man. So John McCain pimps out the party line, and goes to the dark side in the much ballyhooed McCain / Feingold legislation, laughingly called Campaign Finance Reform. This little nation-altering jewel has allowed the flourishing of the influx of soft money into politics and creation of mega 503C organizations of which Move On.org is probably the biggest behemoth. Move On.org is financed by none other than the rich-beyond-belief George Soros, who, after a failed attempt to get the inventor of the internet, Al Gore elected, has created a hand crafted, " I am all things to all people" pretty boy from a junior Senator with almost no background, who, at the time of his metamorphesis, was only in the Senate 150 days.
One thing we have learned about the secretive heir-apparent to the Democratic nomination, is that he has ties to more than a few dubious anti-American characters in this charade he's playing. The most noteworthy of them is of course Frank Marshall Davis, the beloved "Frank" in Obama's book, Dreams From My Father. What Barry forgot to mention about Frank in his book was that while Frank was mentoring the young Obama in Honolulu, he was a card carrying communist in the American Communist party, which was known to get its money and its marching orders directly from Moscow. Frank was just the first in a long line of dubious anti-American types, so you can't tell me that he was not influenced by his youthful indoctrination into Marxism. Of course, Hussein won't talk about Frank Marshall Davis, but one can bet it helped shaped his political leanings quite a bit left of center. Who knows? Only Obama, but if McCarthy were alive, he'd have a field day with this guy!
So, John McCain is brutally tortured by the VC, and forced against his will to say humiliating things about his country. The playboy comes home a hero, and lands a windfall in the Washington "all eyes on me" club. In his search for an ego massage, he makes a deal with the devil in McCain / Feingold, which creates the Soros machine, which in turn molds the angelic Barack Obama, communist collaborator, who is now beating the ex-POW naval war hero by almost eight points in the polls so far.
If John were here, I'd tell him that his shortsidedness created this monster. McCain almost single-handedly created the phenomenon that is Barack Hussein Obama, who may very well sit in the Oval office. I'd tell him that, John, your narrow vision, shortsidedness, and search for personal fame may have single-handedly handed over the White House to the very same mindset that held you captive in Vietnam. I'd finish the conversation by telling him lack of vision like that is a type of stupidity; and we know from almost sixteen years personal experience that stupidity has no place in the Oval office.
I hope the irony of it all is not lost in the clutter of history. It may be our undoing.

My intro and a thought to the Wordsmiths of the world
Over time I hope to at least weekly address issues that are of importance to regular Americans, and for that matter, level-headed people throughout the blogosphere. Now, I’m not going to present news stories. There are a million people better at that than I am, and I don’t want to be a witty pseudo-intellectual pseudo-journalist. I think that horse has been ridden quite enough. What I would like to accomplish with my prose is to give the world a view of itself through the eyes of someone who is no one special. That’s me; no one special to you. I’m special enough to my God, Mrs. Pax, my children, my dog and my cat (Ok. Maybe I’m just hired help to the cat.) that I am secure in myself without the exterior validation. It is my sincere hope that once all of us Baby Boomers are gone, that someone will look back and find at least some snippets of wisdom to allow the country that I love so very much to continue.
With the pleasantries now dispensed, I’d like to address some of the incendiary phrases or words that adversaries have used (incorrectly, I might add) to pigeon hole me and others like me into the perceived lunatic fringe. Many of you have probably had these words hurled at you in either the verbal or written form at one time or another. I’d like to answer each one individually, and offer some instruction to those who like to fling these linguistic “Molotov cocktails” willy nilly…..
Racist. This is probably the most brain-disengaged, mouth-opened inflammatory word used in the English or any other language. Screaming it aloud or dropping it like a bomb in a sentence is used strategically to close the minds of the witless to the merits of what the person was trying to purvey. It is meant to label myself and others as a narrow person, who hates another person solely based upon the amount of melanin in someone’s skin, or other specific characteristic. I found its use amusing, as the perpetrator of the noxious condiment had no idea that I have a black brother-in-law that I dearly love, and who cares for me as well. The term “racist” contains of course the word race, and the almost never correctly used suffix “ist”. This word should actually be defined as, “one who hates racing”, or “one who hates Nascar”. Well, you get the idea. If one is trying to portray another as a person who hates another just because of the color of that person’s skin, then shouldn’t the correct term be “melaninist”? And what about people who hate Semites because of their purported big noses? Shouldn’t they be called, “physiologists?” If that’s the case, then The AMA had better start recredentialing doctors now! It’s that blasted suffix “ist” folks! It’s confusing. I’ve been called a creationist (even though I’m not) which I now have to surmise means “one who hates creation.” Likewise, a Darwinist would be a person who hates Darwinism. I have made public my disdain for Islam and all it stands for, and have been labeled a racist on more than one occasion. Islam is a race now? Who knew? These geniuses need to call me by what I am – a “theist”; a person who abhors a theological line of thought. By the way, word flingers, please, even though I have no racial hatred for anyone, please refer to me as a melaninist. You’ll sound just as silly, but at least you’ll be closer to your own presupposed ideas about me.
Homophobe. Until recently there was actually no such word, even though it is incorrectly used to indicate a person who has a phobia against homosexuality. Homophobia would technically be defined as, “an irrational fear of one’s self”. Actually, the gay community might just want to stick with “gay” because in this context a homosexual is a person who has sex with them self, which conjures up uncomfortable mental images. But then, we already know that you who are gay are confused…at least genetically…don’t we? You can’t call me “homoloathic” because I don’t hate myself. I love me. Besides, a phobia is an irrational fear. I don’t know of one person who is against the gay agenda that is afraid of gays. Embarrassed, ashamed, or appalled maybe, but never afraid. Do me a favor, just call me intolerant, or a gay basher, or some other incendiary term that actually exists. Just remember, if you’re gay, I’m praying for you.
Which brings me to my final two words: intolerant and bigot. Intolerant is used way too much. It means unwilling to tolerate or endure. I guess my questions to those linguistic terrorists and wordsmiths out there is this: at exactly what point did it become ALL bad to be intolerant? My dog is intolerant of baths. She still gets them, but I’m not going to shoot her in the head or send her to the pound because she is intolerant of them. A zookeeper doesn’t feed the penguins to the lions just because they are intolerant of the heat. So exactly, just what is your point for slinging this word about? You have no tolerance for me (well, some of you smart people reading do). Aren’t you “intolerant” of me? Actually, for being so intolerant, I have never touched a hair on a leftist-liberal-loony-amoral-socialists head. To me that sounds rather…tolerant.
And of course the word bigot. It rolls off the tongue with such venom nowadays, that the purveyor can be a total lying whack-job and it’s too late- the damage has been done. A bigot is defined as “one who is strongly partial to one’s own group, religion, race, or politics, and is intolerant of those who differ”. Hmmmm. So let’s say I’m a green person walking towards two crowds; one purple and one green. I have to go to one. I know that if I choose the purple crowd, then I’m just being PC; a poser; a token. But, by this very definition, if I go with my natural gravitation towards my own kind, I have actually shunned the purple-folk, thus deserving the moniker, “you leaf-skinned bigot!” being hurled at me. Do you see how silly that is? Let me give you another example; If I want mandatory punishment for pedophiles, I am a bigot against pedophilia. I have no tolerance for it. Is that a bad thing? Now I’m not saying that there aren’t true bigots out there, but that some of you word terrorists have watered down its use quite a bit to the point that its use is shrugable at best.
So, before you linguistic rock-throwers start hurling your poorly crafted, ill-defined descriptive adjectives and phrases in the comments section, could you do me a favor? Could you please include a legend of exactly what you are trying to convey with the use of any of the aforementioned words, because your conflicting meanings are confusing this poor little homowhateveric-melaninist-intolerant-bigotted-theist.
Thanks in advance.
Pax
