Racism Is the Answer
“Racist” dissenters. Kneejerk liberalism. The Baucus option. Plus more.
(Page 3 of 3)
Maybe they lack the intellectual horsepower — and the eyes and noses required — to actually see news and then have the courage and curiosity go where the crowd won’t?
Maybe some, too, just lack love of language and its music?
Certainly, that media is now an insulting embarrassment to, even
enemy of, the public it should serve. With arrogance and
indifference, they’ve betrayed our trust and mocked us for how
they’ve treated us.
That’s unforgivable. Sad, too. And unworkable.

Re: Peter Ferrara’s Unhinged
from Reality:
“How can he possibly get away with spouting such shameless falsehoods to the entire nation?”
Easy.
A state-controlled so-called “news media,” that’s no longer the Fourth Estate, but Fifth Column. Actually, they’re no longer even subversive in their treachery. They’re the new Ministry of Newspeak, Nospeak and Dumbspeak.
Democrats, liberals and leftists, including the president, whose monotonic message of socialism allows and speaks no truth.
The amorality of liberalism and its bedrock hypocrisy.
The apparent penchant for this particular president and his Congressional leaders’ cognitive dissonance and mendacity.
A megalomaniac, Obama, who doesn’t care what anyone thinks of him and who will say anything-anything-to advance his statist position. And one who expects everyone to believe everything he says, all the time.
Perhaps, though, Obama’s performance was not for true public consumption or reporting?
The endless-campaigner and lecturer-in-chief Obama wasn’t speaking to the nation in his same-old-same-old, finger-wagging, angry and bitter speech, I think.
His real audience was just the Democrats in that chamber who were
or are fence-sitting on support of whatever “plan” it is about
which Obama fictionalizes and the Democrats rationalize-and about
which both still advance “shameless falsehoods.”

Even our pets are racists these days.

Obama's task is to make everyone forget Carter.

You wanna see racism on display? Read Obama's autobiography!

'Funny' thing is, at the very moment America is no longer truly racist (in contrast to many countries that ARE still racist) Carter opens his big stupid pie hole...
and shoots it off.
Alan Brooks| 9.18.09 @ 10:29PM
Carter is the politician (retired, though) version of a muck-raking journalist, only it is his big mouth that it stupid, not his mind.
With friends like Carter, Obama doesn't enemies.
Okay, America is racist, but less racist than other
nations. Canada is less racist, because there are less minorities there. Scandinavia is in fact a kinder, gentler region;
but for how long? until minorities filter into the region and it is economically globalised.
I'm not sure, but it appears the one leads to the other.
We live in no utopia-- and the Nordics are going to find that out in the next decade.

Carter is nothing so much as the political version of Dr. Laura, lecturing us all the time:
"You're wacists!"
"You think wacist thoughts"

In my two cents (or one cents worth) opinion, President Obama ought to get advice from conservative blacks on improving race relations. Jimmy Carter, as he knows, is mostly fanning the fires of dissension; Carter means well, but so does Louis Farrakhan.
A conservative such as Thomas Sowell could definitely help-- if he isn't seen as anathema by too many blacks.
Look at how Al Sharpton is working together with Newt Gingrich on education. Be thankful for small favors
