Liberal Racism

Can you imagine if someone called President Barack Obama an "Oreo," "the Token black face of the Democrat Party," an "Uncle Tom," or a "House Nigger"?

Obama's White House staff is all white. He has appointed less blacks to his staff than any other president since Jimmy Carter. The heads of his political party are all white. His own campaign staff is all white.

And yes, during his first campaign for president one of his Democrat opponents, Joe Biden, said Obama was "articulate and clean" for a black man.

It's true, Joe Biden found himself defending remarks he made to the New York Observer about his Democrat opponent that year.

In the article published in the New York Observer, Biden was quoted evaluating his presidential rival Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois.

His remarks about Obama, the only African-American serving in the Senate, exposed part of the Democrat Party that they work very hard to keep hidden.

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," Biden said. "I mean, that's a storybook, man."

When I read it, I assumed Biden didn't think "an African-American" could be "articulate and bright and clean". And no, I wasn't alone thinking that that is what Biden meant.

But really, can you imagine if someone used these facts for some sort of twisted justification to call President Obama such hate filled slurs?

No, it would not be OK. It is wrong to do such a thing. It would show ignorance and disrespect for Obama as a man. Besides the fact that no one deserves to be called such racially inflammatory term, President Obama does not deserve such venomous slurs.

As a fellow American who believes that we need to judge people on their actions and deeds, and not the color of their skin, I truly believe that its simply wrong to say such things about anyone of any color - white, black, or otherwise.

Now, do I believe President Obama's policies hurt America? Do I honestly believe that his and the liberal agenda will bring about changes which will take us years to correct?

Yes, I do!

Do I think that he is either very ignorant or very naive when it comes to threats from other countries, that he has enabled anti-American sentiment to foster, that he is probably our first Communist President, that he is power hungry and deceitful, or that he has acted in many cases like a Socialist Dictator?

Yes, I do.

But friends, to attack the color of his skin destroys any intelligent argument against what he is doing wrong as an elected official - as president.

Besides, only an ass, a bigot, a true racist, someone so ignorant that they have to resort to those types of hate filled slurs to describe him when they disagree with something that he says or does.

In fact, anyone who uses those sorts of hate filled slurs to describe a man or woman of color for any reason is wrong and should be taken to task for it.
Like it or not, respect the fact that Barack Obama is a man who has achieved a great deal in his life by becoming the first Black American to become President of the United States.

Though he does have less black people filling positions on his staff, though his policies have had a  definitely negative effect on Black Americans more than any other ethnic group, calling him such things is as racist as anyone can get.

If Republicans did such a thing, and I challenge anyone to find one documented instance where a Conservative or a Republican has in fact done so, then that person would in fact be a racist and a bigot - and truly would be taken to task by other Conservatives and Republicans.

Case and point, Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner and other Republican Party leaders denounced Alaska Republican Rep Don Young for using the derogatory term "wetbacks."

The slur "wetbacks" refer to Mexican migrants who have entered country illegally.

Don Young, an Alaska congressman, discussing the labor market during an interview with radio station KRBD in Ketchikan, Alaska, said that on his father's ranch in California, "we used to have 50-60 wetbacks to pick tomatoes." He said, "It takes two people to pick the same tomatoes now. It's all done by machine."

"Congressman Young's remarks were offensive and beneath the dignity of the office he holds. I don't care why he said it -- there's no excuse and it warrants an immediate apology," Speaker of the House John Boehner responded after hearing about what was said.

Senate Republican Whip John Cornyn, R-Texas, immediately came out and said the comments "do nothing to elevate our party, political discourse or the millions who come here looking for economic opportunity."

The Republican party was created to fight Slavery. It was created to make people equal and give everyone a fair chance at life.

Republicans fought against the Democrat political machine's support of racism and segregation throughout the South after the Civil War and all during the years when the Democrat Party controlled the South with an iron hand.

It was Republicans who got the first Civil Rights Act passed through Congress in 1866. It was Democrats who have created the Ku Klux Klan and segregation in America. The activities of insurgent groups such as the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) undermined the Civil Rights Act of 1866, and subsequently failed to immediately secure the civil rights of African Americans.

And yes, the question needs to be asked, why did Democrats set up the system of segregation? Why did Democrats fight so hard against Civil Right legislation?

It was the Republicans who got the 1964 Civil Rights Act passed. That's right, the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act passed of Republicans - not Democrats.

Sure President Lyndon Johnson, a Texas Democrat, played an essential role in getting it through. But friends, it is worth noting that 80% of the “no” votes in the Senate came from Democrats, including the late Robert Byrd (West Virginia ) and Albert Gore (Tennessee), father of later Vice President Al Gore.

It is a matter of fact that Republican votes were essential in winning final passage of the bill.

For Republicans, it is deeply disheartening that in 2013, they see a Republican member of Congress using such hateful words and racial slur as "wetbacks."

Democrats cannot say the same. They have a tradition of looking the other way.

Why is it that when Black Conservatives, Black Republicans, are attacked and called racial slurs such as Oreo, or Token Black, or Uncle Tom, or worse by Democrats - no one in the  liberal media cares?

Democrats and the liberal mainstream media attack Dr Ben Carson and other black conservatives regularly.

Liberals hate the whole idea that there is such a thing as Black Conservatism. They hate Blacks who emphasize patriotism, independence and self-sufficiency, free enterprise, and strong cultural conservatism.

Liberals hate it that many black Americans who don't like the anti-Christian, anti-American, anti-Second Amendment stance of the Democrat Party associate with the Republican Party.

Democrats on MSNBC and other liberal outlets in the liberal dominated mainstream media have taken to calling Dr Ben Carson an Oreo, the Token black face of the Republican Party, an Uncle Tom, and worse.

In fact, believe it or not, one irate liberal wrote me who wrote me to call me all sorts of vile things, actually called Dr Ben Carson "the House Nigger of the Republican Party".

I'm writing this article to call that liberal ass who wrote me, the bigot and racist jackass that he is.

So why aren't liberals and Democrats taking the folks on MSNBC to task and call them what they are: racists? Where is the indignation from Democrats out there?

Dr Ben Carson has achieved a great deal in his life. He is an American neurosurgeon and the director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Among other surgical innovations, Carson did pioneering work on the successful separation of conjoined twins joined at the head. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States, by President George W. Bush in 2008.

As of lately, he has taken to talking about what he sees wrong with the Obama administration and society in general. And yes, this has made him a target of Liberal racism.

So now, now instead of attacking what he has to say, those on the left are showing their true racist colors by attacking the color of his skin and resorting calling him hate filled racial slurs.

And where is the calls from the Left for apologies and to stop such attacks? Nowhere!

The liberal mainstream media is silent on this - turning the other way as if to say it is not taking place. It's as if they feel that they are still the Democrat slave owners of days gone by, and they have a right to call a black man slurs.

If not, then why are they are conspicuously quiet. As quiet as on co-conspirator would be when they have been found out. As quiet as one criminal is when being asked to do the right thing and condemn those who are doing the crime.

The liberal media doesn't want to rat out others in the liberal media while they attack Dr Ben Carson - not for what he has to say - but for the color of his skin.

The liberal media is upholding one of the oldest traditions of the Democrat Party: When Democrats banded together and formed the Ku Klux Klan after the Civil War to terrorize Free Blacks and Republicans, Democrats swore an oath to each other to remain silent even when witnessing horrible criminal acts.

There should be no place for racism in America, even from Democrats and the Liberal Left.
