Race Card: You gotta know when to fold em

You know when someone uses a word or phrase so often that it really ceases to have its intended meaning? Like when someone tells you that you are beautiful and awesome so many times that you wonder if they are telling the truth. What? That happens to me all the time. Well, a better example might be when someone overuses the word “literally”. For instance, “I literally just died”. Okay, you didn’t literally die, but whatever.
The same thing has happened with the word “racist”. Pretty much if you are white and oppose Barack Obama, you are a racist. Nevermind the fact that he is the most dangerous, liberal President our country has ever had – you are racist.  Nevermind the fact that he has surrounded himself with self-proclaimed Communists and anti-American radicals- you are racist.  And if you happen to be black and oppose Obortion, I mean Obama, you are Uncle Tom (which is another way of saying that you are a traitor because you like hanging out with those white people too much). 
Of course, this is just to play into our great, self-destructive white guilt.  Our ancestors were mean,white people who oppressed and pillaged wherever they went, laying waste to entire civilizations with our germs and our guns.  This is what we are taught during our 13 years of public school liberal indoctrination, right?  We don’t even belong here, do we?  We took this land away from the unassuming Native Americans.  (I am aware that this PC term for Indians has changed to something even more PC, but I am not a very PC person so this will have to suffice.)  Let me just relieve a little of that guilt for you.  A little research in this area will show that we did not “steal” the land from the Native people.  We had European goods that they were interested in, and they were more than willing to trade land for those goods.  

Okay, so maybe we have a right to American land then, but nothing can excuse the white man (especially the Southern white man) from slavery.  First of all, no one is saying that slavery is a good thing.  However, the United States was certainly not the first land to have slaves.  Check out Egypt – who do you think built those pyramids?  And slavery in the US did not originate in the South.  Massachusetts was the first colony to legalize slavery in 1641.  (Virginia didn’t legalize it for another 20 years.)  The civil war was not over slavery (I’ll devote a whole post to that later).  And, most importantly to the issue of white guilt, just because I am white does not mean that my ancestors owned slaves.  Many people just weren’t wealthy enough to do so.  And even if they did, I certainly was not alive then.  Why should I be making reparations for them?  Let’s make a deal.  I’ll make reparations for slavery if you let me research your ancestors and hold you accountable for any immoral or criminal activity they may have committed.  Fair?  Any takers?   

One would think that if we had reached a point in our history where a black man could be elected to the highest office in the land, we would stop insisting that this is a racist country.  For him to win, he obviously had to get a few white votes. 

I think the real issue here is that liberals have no real arguments to support what they believe.  They know that they have built their house of straw and they are trying to divert us from huffing and puffing.  It’s like yelling “fire” when there is no fire.  You might get away the first time, but if anyone falls for it the next time they have got to be pretty dense. 

Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and the like have built their careers on using the race card.  Sorry, guys.  It is just losing its effect.  You may have to research other career options.  I hear Denny’s is hiring.

The Angry Conservative

I am mad. I am so mad I can’t stand it. The state of this Nation is absoutely disgusting. I am starting this blog because the people on Facebook are tired of hearing me rant about politics and, frankly, I have so much to say that I just can’t fit it all in a status update.
Let me just start by listing a few of the things that have me really riled.
The fact that liberals are so worried about the plight of a fish in California that they have cut off the water supply to farmers and destroyed their crops YET they certainly don’t mind the mass murder of 4000 babies every day in this country.
The fact that liberals are just itching to pass this Cap and Trade crap that is based on phony science and Al Gore’s propaganda.
I don’t even know where to begin with the whole Socialist takeover of the healthcare system. Open up the system to real free-trade and let’s see it work.
Evolution and other left-wing fantasies are taught as fact in our public schools. You teach people that they are monkeys long enough, and they will begin to act like monkeys.
The fact that the bleeding heart liberals have actually convinced us that we (white Americans of European descent) should feel guilty because we are evil, white capitalist pigs who are responsible for slavery and murdering Indians. They have rewritten history and convinced us that the Civil War was over slavery – southerners wanting to keep it and the noble northerners wanting to abolish it. They have made us to feel that we should never be allowed to have anything good, because we don’t deserve it for all the cruelty we are responsible for.
The fact that liberals have demonized Capitalism and convinced us to believe that Socialism is a good thing. Since when is working hard and making money a bad thing? That is the American Dream. People don’t swim across shark-infested oceans to get to a country where everyone has the exact same thing regardless of how hard they work.
This is only a small taste of the things that I am going to be complaining about on this blog. Before you say something cute about the fact that if I don’t like something, I should work to change it, I’ll go ahead and tell you that I already am working to change it.
Hope you enjoy. If you don’t, atleast be man (or woman) enough to leave your name when you leave your rude comment.
