Lose, Lose When You Talk About Race (Victor Davis Hanson)

Superb article, ignore anything I’ve typed here and go read this post from Mr. Hanson.  No, really, go on, I’ll wait.

Good stuff, eh?  Troubling that those that don’t fall over in a swoon over our current President are presumed to have only one possible reason… his race.  Really ticks me off.  There are plenty of people of many races for whom I would gladly vote, not because they are that race, but because of their beliefs, values and hence, character.  Isn’t that what Martin Luther King, Jr. expressed as the realization of his “I Have a Dream” speech?

I don’t despise Obama because of his race, I despise him as I did Clinton and Carter, because of their hideous world-view that socialism is the direction America should go.  Now we can argue about who wanted to make the most changes the fastest in this discredited and proven destructive direction, but 2/3 were plain ol’ white guys and I despised them equally as much as Obama.  I do think he may be the most dangerous as so many conservative, supposed leaders remain cowed to point out that the Emperor wears no clothes because that would be racist. 

Nuts to that!  A wannabe socialist dictator should be opposed and given no quarter just because someone might call us a rude name.  Oh and guess what, I equally despise Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer and they are plain ol’ white people.  Obama would probably consider them “typical white people” like his grandmother.  I don’t despise them because of their color.  Heck, I couldn’t pick them out of a lineup as I don’t watch news, but I know what they believe and therefore they are my enemy.  Nothing to do with race, theirs or Obama’s.
