A Nation of Cowards

[MeeMie]

You think? Ask him about the thousands of Dem activists that registered as Reps to elect McCain.

You know, I swore I wasn't going to try to explain this to you again, but apparently you are going to continue to misrepresent what was said because you cannot understand it.

Let me just try to simplify this for you.

Anyone, Democrat, Republican or Independent, can register as a Republican (something like two months before) and vote in a Republican primary election which designates the candidate who will run for president.

Right after voting, they can disaffiliate.

But it wouldn't matter anyhow, if they didn't disaffiliate, because no matter what party you are registered to, or not registered to at all, it does not restrict your vote in the actual general election.

Understand?

How you are registered does not have any restriction on how you actually vote in the presidential election. But does allow you to vote in the primary election to choose a candidate to run in the presidential election.

Now, that you understand that, there is proof to show that an inflated number of Republican registration (followed by disaffiliations) occured prior to the primary election. These numbers were not indicative of a same increase of Republicans voting during the general election.

And ultimately, John McCain, the least supported candidate of the GOP was selected. He, incidentally, was the Democrats' choice to run against, according to the media.



I should also mention that I have volunteered my time and energy to work at the polls for several elections. I know what I'm talking about.

I'll forgive your ignorance graciously since I know you've never had the opportunity to vote as a US citizen.

no i did not "intentionally omit" it.

no more than you intentionally omitted limbaugh's and chip saltsman.

on top of that, i referred to "barak the magic negro" and not "obama the magic negro." that's an important detail to remember as you engage in your pedantic chore. my reference is fine, thank you.

Go back and read my post again.

It says "Paul Shanklin wrote the song, which ran on Rush Limbaugh's show with an Al Sharpton impersonator"

Additionally, I posted "I'm sure you know the source of "barack the magic negro" "the inspiration for the song came from a March, 2007 Los Angeles Times op-ed piece called “Obama the Magic Negro”


Are you being purposely dense?

All of these FACTS can be CHECKED through various sources, including Obama's own books:

According to his own book, Obama "willfully sought after the heritage of his father and through his step father, attended Islamic schools"

In two best-selling autobiographies—”The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream” and “Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance”—Mr. Obama mentions his attendance at a “predominantly Muslim school” and said "In the Muslim school, the teacher wrote to tell mother I made faces during Quranic studies."

During his years in Jakarta, Indonesia, the young Obama was enrolled in a Madrassa and was raised and educated as a Muslim. Although Indonesia is regarded as a moderate Muslim state, the U.S. intelligence community has determined that most of these schools are financed by the Saudi Arabian government and they teach a Wahhabi doctrine that denies the rights of non-Muslims to attend.

This registration document, made available on Jan. 24, 2007, by the Fransiskus Assisi school in Jakarta, Indonesia, shows the registration of Barack Obama under the name Barry Soetoro into school made by his step-father, Lolo Soetoro. The document lists Barry Soetoro as a Indonesian citizen, and shows his Muslim step-father listed the boy's religion as Islam:

http://sondrak.com/images/uploads/obama_doc.jpg

Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam.

Barry’s religion was listed as Islam. On this basis he was released from classes so he could study the Koran and say the Shahada, recitation of which makes one a Muslim.

He was listed there as a Muslim and so qualified under their rules to be exempt from Catholic religious studies.

The second school Obama attended in Indonesia, Besuki Primary School, was a state run school that required Muslims to attend Islamic studies each day where Obama was taught to read and write Arabic, to recite his prayers properly, to read and recite from the Quran and to study the laws of Islam.






And, as an adult, more confirmation of his early muslim affiliations:




From the NYT article "Obama:Man of the World"
[Reference March 6, 2007, Nicholas D. Kristoff, NY Times Select:

“I was a little Jakarta street kid,” Obama said he once got in trouble for making faces during Koran study classes in his elementary school, but as president he is less likely to stereotype Muslims as fanatics — and more likely to be aware of their nationalism — since he once studied the Koran with them.

Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated, Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”

Muslims consider the recital of the call to prayer as a defacto part of fundamental Islamic/Muslim religious membership? [Reference The Adhan (Ilsamic call to prayer)].

Allah is Most Great. Allah is Most Great.
Allah is Most Great. Allah is Most Great.
I bear witness that there is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah.
I bear witness that there is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah.
I bear witness that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah.
I bear witness that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah.
Come to prayer. Come to prayer.
Come to Success. Come to Success.
Allah is Most Great. Allah is Most Great.
There is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah.
​

“If I go to Jakarta and address the largest Muslim country on earth, I can say, ‘Apa kabar,’ — you know, ‘How are you doing?’ — and they can recognize that I understand their common humanity,” Obama said. “That is a strength, and it allows me to say things to them that other presidents might not be able to say." [in their own language]



Obama's half brother proudly displays of Obama at the age of 24, wearing traditional Muslim garb.

Dude, you look at my school records at the CofE primary that I attended and it says I'm a protestant. Both my parents are atheist as am I.

A lot of schools, and especially those in the third world will only give an education if you sign up, at least in name to the schools religion. It doesn't mean you actually are a member of that religion.

Barack the Magic Negro Lyrics

Barack the Magic Negro lives in D.C.
The L.A. Times, they called him that
‘Cause he’s not authentic like me.
Yeah, the guy from the L.A. paper
Said he makes guilty whites feel good
They’ll vote for him, and not for me
‘Cause he’s not from the hood.

See, real black men, like Snoop Dog,
Or me, or Farrakhan
Have talked the talk, and walked the walk.
Not come in late and won!

Oh, Barack the Magic Negro, lives in D.C.
The L.A. Times, they called him that
‘Cause he’s black, but not authentically.
Oh, Barack the Magic Negro, lives in D.C.
The L.A. Times, they called him that
‘Cause he’s black, but not authentically.

Some say Barack’s “articulate”
And bright and new and “clean.” (Joe Biden)
The media sure loves this guy,
A white interloper’s dream!
But, when you vote for president,
Watch out, and don’t be fooled!
Don’t vote the Magic Negro in –
‘Cause —

’Cause I won’t have nothing after all these years of sacrifice
And I won’t get justice. This is about justice. This isn’t about me, it’s about justice.
It’s about buffet. I don’t have no buffet and there won’t be any church contributions,
And there’ll be no cash in the collection plate.
There ain’t gonna be no cash money, no walkin’ around money, no phoning money.
Now, Barack going to come in here and ........





And lavy, who called the white people, bitter, clinging to their guns and Bibles?

Okay Trouve, as an adoptive parent of a Chinese girl, which I've said in my own words

Why am I qualified to talk about racism? Simple: I am a middle-aged white American male -- this fact alone qualifies me as a racist in this Wonderland of political correctness that is the United States.


But my "racism" goes much deeper than particulars of gender and skin color. In fact, as a working writer and a retired politician, I have a lifelong pattern of "racism." I was called a "racist" twenty-five years ago when I voted against "hate crimes" legislation in the Idaho State Senate. I had this insane notion that all violent crimes were hate crimes -- clearly a racist thought (no doubt instilled by the white culture of hate that surrounded me).


I have been called a racist for writing that the science behind man made global warming is shaky -- and for defending Sarah Palin's acceptance speech for her vice presidential nomination at the RNC. Surely these are thoughts that spring from a childhood that must have been spent with the KKK.


During the past twenty-five years, I have been called a racist for writing about gun control, taxes, international banking, property rights, the Constitution, and abortion. All of these topics are obviously crucially related to race relations in the United States. How could I have been so blind?


In short, I am a racist because I am not a liberal. I am a racist because I do not agree with Eric Holder's politics. Not only am I a racist, Mr. Holder informs me, I am also a coward because I don't want to talk about being a racist.


Mr. Holder wants me to pony up, be a man, and finally face my cowardice -- and the inner hatred I may have of human beings that have a skin color different from mine.


There is one tiny little problem: Holder's request is coming about thirty years too late. And, if my son's and my life experiences are any indication, Holder is twenty to thirty years late challenging other Americans to look inside of themselves.


The fact is that most Americans have already been there, done that. We let go of our racism -- if we happened to have had any -- years ago.


I first heard about my soon to be son when he was two days old. I had had a friend call me about the baby. My friend was on an adoption list. He was seventh on the list. He told me that there was this newborn baby boy that no one wanted.


I bluntly asked my friend if the infant was physically deformed or had some mental impairment. "No. Not exactly," he told me. "Maybe you should come and take a look at him."


So I did. I first held my son when he was three days old. His skin was discolored by jaundice and his body was swollen with some type of blood incompatibility. His skin was a puffy, dark, almost Brunswick green -- except for his fat butt -- which was glaucous hued.


I still tease my son about our first few moments together. Honest to goodness, I thought I was holding My Favorite Martian. He looked like some creature out of a really bad science fiction movie.


As I gazed down at this strange and lonely little being in my arms, I had, what might be called, a religious experience. Lights flashed at the periphery of my vision. (Think of the lights that flash by in the tunnel on a subway.) I found myself sitting in a park on a bench staring into the eyes of a handsome young black man. We were laughing together. We were connected through the laughter to a profound friendship and empathy. I understood and loved this young man and he understood and loved me.


The lights flashed again. I was staring into the eyes of the little baby boy in my arms that I now knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, was my son.
...

One time, in the sixth grade, one of his classmates called my son a "nigger." The kid physically challenged my son. My son accepted the challenge (he was taught never to back down from this kind of mindless bullying) and agreed to meet the young thug in the playground after school to settle the matter.


I found out about the impending confrontation and drove to the school. I hid behind some cars in the parking lot to watch the episode unfold. Apparently, the ruffian expected my son to be a no-show. I watched as the punk walk down the steps into the schoolyard, got a good close look at my son's fists, and then turned tail and sprinted back into the school crying.


The thirty young white kids, who had gathered in the playground to witness the event, encircled my son and cheered. Six years later, my son went on to be elected student body president of one of the whitest high schools in America. That, Mr. Holder, is how racist America really is -- which is to say not much.


Racism exists in America only in the communities were it is stipulated, reinforced, and taught as a alternative to the veracity of hard work and lasting opportunity that is the real America. In other words, Mr. Holder, racism, where it exists in this country, is a political and cultural contrivance sustained and manipulated by people like you.

Is Dick Durban a Racist?

Let's take Attorney General Holder up on his advice. No cowards needed in discussing race.

Got it.

So. The Democrats' Illinois Senator Dick Durbin refused to vote to oust a white president from office when, as the whole world knew, said president had lied about his role in the federal crime of sexual harassment. Yet when a black U.S. Senator, Durbin's Illinois colleague Roland Burris, is accused -- with as yet unproven allegations -- of lying to the Illinois House of Representatives, Durbin wants said black Senator's resignation post-haste.

Well now. Isn't that white of him.

And where, pray tell, is the ever vigilant Reverend Al Sharpton? Last seen protesting as racist a New York Post cartoon that portrayed the writer of the stimulus bill (that would be a white woman by the name of Nancy Pelosi) as the now infamous Travis the Chimp, Sharpton is curiously silent on the Durbin double standard.

So too is South Carolina Congressman and House Majority Whip James Clyburn silent about the stand taken by Durbin, Clymer's Whip counterpart over in the Senate. Clymer, a former head of the Congressional Black Caucus, has only days ago made accusations that the Republican governors of Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and Louisiana (the latter, Governor Bobby Jindal, is a son of Indian immigrants and thus a "person of color" as the liberal phrase goes) are racist. Why? Because they are considering refusing stimulus money and their states have a considerable number of African-American citizens. Notably, he ignored the same stance when it turned out to be taken by Alaska's Governor Sarah Palin. In the world of racial bean counting, apparently Eskimos aren't worth the rhetorical effort.

Last but certainly not least, where is Eric Holder himself, the first African-American Attorney General of the United States?

What, specifically, is the Durbin standard on lying if you are a public official?
...

If a white US Senator could not find his voice when it came to the topic of whether a white president should stay in office after being caught flagrantly lying to a federal judge -- not to mention the rest of the nation including the U.S. Senate itself -- than what other reason can there be why that same Senator is trying to politically lynch a sitting U.S. Senator well before the evidence is in?

How about this one? Bill Clinton is white. Roland Burris is black. Get the rope.

The real question here is whether the Attorney General of the United States, the House Majority Whip and the Reverend Sharpton have the guts to speak up and demand equal Clinton-like treatment for Senator Burris.

Or have we just matched three very specific faces to Holder's charge that America is "a nation of cowards" when it comes to race?

And is one of those faces the face of Eric Holder?
