What an enlightened, intellectual sentiment on the part of the party of JFK and FDR! There has been a drumbeat in recent days of the apparent new democratic party theme, which is that if you have the gall to disagree with Obama & The Dems on anything, you must be a racist! It's their new theme! And former president Jimmy Carter for his part chimed in today with his own personal accord of such sentiment, stating (and I'm just going from notes here, but I think I have it pretty dead on) that the "overwelming portion of the demonstrated animosity towards Barrack Obama [i.e. his policies] is based on the fact that he's a black man . . . Based on a belief across the country that African Americans are not qualified to lead the country." Well, that's funny, Jimmy, since a majority of the country voted for Obama to become president. Where were all these racists then? Actually, I'll tell you: Many of those in the middle who voted for Obama (I didn't, nor did I vote for McCain) bought into his whole portrayal of himself as some sort of moderate during the campaign. And then when he turned out to be anything but that as president, those same Independent and centrist voters have steadily turned against him. It has nothing to do with racism, but does have everything to do with a president who ran one campaign, and then embarked upon a completely different presidency. And a final parting thought, Mr. Carter: Your statements quoted above are perhaps the most moronic, most unintellectual, most ideologically blinded, and most disgraceful statements that I've ever heard uttered by an ex-American President (which is saying something). You should be ashamed of yourself, Sir. But then again, of course, this is just another one of those many racist, nazi, right-wing extremists talking at ya, so what does my viewpoint count for anything, right?Wednesday, September 16, 2009
The American Democratic Party: "Disagree With Us, And You Are RACIST!!!"
