Pirate's Cove

Yes, yes, I know Ann is on many Conservatives bad list, in some cases for saying the things that we in the base wish our wishy washy national GOP and RNC members would. Also, she never shares all those pies she gets. But, she has apparently slogged through one of Obama’s books, and finds it wanting

If characters from “The Hills” were to emote about race, I imagine it would sound like B. Hussein Obama’s autobiography, “Dreams From My Father.”

Has anybody read this book? Inasmuch as the book reveals Obama to be a flabbergasting lunatic, I gather the answer is no. Obama is about to be our next president: You might want to take a peek. If only people had read “Mein Kampf” ..

Nearly every page — save the ones dedicated to cataloguing the mundane details of his life — is bristling with anger at some imputed racist incident. The last time I heard this much race-baiting invective I was … in my usual front-row pew, as I am every Sunday morning, at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.

Ann, Ann, Ann, you know the comparison to Mein Kampf is just going to set off the usual left wing loathing at you…..forgot, that is the normal state for them.

When his mother expresses concern about Obama’s high school friend being busted for drugs, Obama says he patted his mother’s hand and told her not to worry.

This, too, prompted Obama to share with his readers a life lesson on how to handle white people: “It was usually an effective tactic, another one of those tricks I had learned: People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves. They were more than satisfied, they were relieved — such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn’t seem angry all the time.”

First of all, I note that this technique seems to be the basis of Obama’s entire presidential campaign. But moreover — he was talking about his own mother! As Obama says: “Any distinction between good and bad whites held negligible meaning.” Say, do you think a white person who said that about blacks would be a leading presidential candidate?

The man is stark bonkersville.

And therein lies one of the problems with BHO, as has been exposed by his associations and worship of Rev. Wright, as well as Louis Farrakhan. He appears to be a quiet racist, and doesn’t care for white people too much. Sure, everyone is entitled to their opinions, but, this guy is running for President. Would it be acceptable if David Duke or Leo Metzger was running for president? No. It would not be.

What we are seeing now is that whites are being vilified as racists for pointing out Obama’s racists associations and writings. Sure, some people probably are. But, for most of white America, and some of Black America, it doesn’t matter. Character matters. Ideas matter. Foresight matters. And this is where Obama will have some problems once the primaries are over, which he will more then likely win. The 20 to 30 percent of middle America which can vote either way are going to look at Obama and see a guy who talks mostly about hope and change, but little on substance, a guy who does not share their values, and a guy who appears to be a racist.

The election will still be close, but, John McCain is wisely making an appeal to the middle America voters, so, when Conservatives say “why isn’t he pandering to me?”, that is your answer. Those 20-30% will make the difference.

McCain is, in fact, more conservative then Dubya. Yes, there are some issues I disagree with him on. But, don’t we have some disagreement with every politician we vote for? I have. But, the more I learned about John McCain, the more I liked him, and understood many of his positions. His policies are not based on meaningless and cheap rhetoric, nor on promising government handouts for all, except of course, the rich, who seem to be those who earn a paycheck in Liberal World.

John McCain wants to help, but, he wants to do it mostly by empowering you, the American citizen. In other words, he wants to treat you like an adult. Democrats want you to be a 5 year old for life.

Easy choice for me.

PS: Just for clarity, I voted for Elizabeth Dole several times, and Vernon Robinson, who is Black, in the Midterms for Congress. Many of the people I have voted for are women or minorities. It is about the best candidate, not about race or sex for me. I do the same thing when hiring.
