Twelve Years Old and Racist

Politics | Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 9:58:15 am PDT

As Barack Obama bashes McCain and Palin for encouraging mob-like behavior, a 7th grader is called a “racist” for wearing a Sarah Palin T-shirt.

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) — She’s only 12 years old but Ashleigh Jones is feeling the heat of this election year.

That’s because the seventh grader at New Smyrna Beach Middle School was called a racist by classmates for wearing a pro-Sarah Palin t-shirt.

Jones is volunteering at the Republican Headquarters in New Smyrna Beach. The Palin t-shirt was a gift from her fellow volunteers. But when she wore it to school she learned just how tough politics can be.

“Some of the students were calling me racist because I was Caucasian,” she said. “I wanted the Caucasian man to win. And I told them that’s not true. It’s my freedom of speech, it’s my opinion.”

(Hat tip: LGF readers.)

and a little more Obam....ererrrrr Orwell to remind us of what's at stake:

"Nearly all children nowadays were horrible. What was worst of all was that by means of such organizations as the Spies they were systematically turned into ungovernable little savages, and yet this produced in them no tendency whatever to rebel against the discipline of the Party. On the contrary, they adored the Party and everything connected with it… All their ferocity was turned outwards, against the enemies of the State, against foreigners, traitors, saboteurs, thought-criminals. It was almost normal for people over thirty to be frightened of their own children."

28 CapeCoddah  Fri, Oct 17, 2008 10:07:05am

My older daughter just started college courses at our local community college. She keeps calling me two or three times a day, aghast at the extreme left. She has been called racist for supporting McCain. She is white, engaged to a black Naval officer, and loves it when someone calls her racist because she relishes the look on her face when she tells them of her fiancee. She is driving me nuts with the constant calls, but, I don't tell her that, I want her to keep paying attention. I have to keep reminding her not to punch anyone.

According to my teen's reports, "racist" in middle school now a ubiquitous put-down and a bully word, like a poke in the ribs is among 7 y.o.'s. And you definitely are called racist for non-conforming (e.g. professing Republican affiliation), or remarking "these shoes were made in China". Which is excellent because the word is rapidly losing its meaning in pop culture.
And yes, my teen is being bullied by a jerk with this word daily, and no, my teen daughter is not Caucasian.

Yesterday, my 9 years old daughter told me that at her grade school (Monrovia Elementary School, Huntsville Alabama) , certain classmates (for PC reasons will remain un-described) are challenging my daughter and other students in her class if they support Obama.

If the answer is yes, they give each other hi-fives, if the answer in no, they call you a loser and taught you. Apparently this has been going on for several weeks. My daughter who is barely aware that there is an election and who her parents support, but because of it, some parents are encouraging there children to “get in their face” with other students.

"White" is not a culture, any more than "black" is a culture. There are many different cultures that make up the various nationalities loosely referred to as "white" (which actually encompass a wide variety of pigmentations). There are many different cultures that exist among the variously pigmented peoples of Africa and the Pacific.

re: #63 apachesam

You beat me to the link on this story.

Yesterday, my 9 years old daughter told me that at her grade school (Monrovia Elementary School, Huntsville Alabama) , certain classmates (for PC reasons will remain un-described) are challenging my daughter and other students in her class if they support Obama.

If the answer is yes, they give each other hi-fives, if the answer in no, they call you a loser and taught you. Apparently this has been going on for several weeks. My daughter who is barely aware that there is an election and who her parents support, but because of it, some parents are encouraging there children to “get in their face” with other students.

Apachesam

Why is the school administration allowing this?

the lib tactics to back down and intimidate people by calling them racists are very similar to terrorist tactics. when they try to spread the ropma and we don't like it, we are islamophobes.
we can't let these people get away w/ shifting focus from their evil objectives by calling us names if we don't want ie. a socialist/commie for potus or sharia law controlling our lives.
we must keep the focus on the ACTIONS of libs and terrorists.
they can't take spot light. that is why they want to shift it to us.

SHe was only one of 4 of the 22 that stood and said that she would vote for McCain. WHen asked why by the teacher, she said " I think he will do a better job of protecting our country than someone who had never run anything". MY jaw hit the floor as I have never stated that in her presence. Please keep in mind that after the intial testing, she was the highest rated 5 year old tested in the past 5 years.

re: #41 willowone

Part of the answer to your questions depends on how badly we lose the election. 60+ Donk Senators, a Donk House, and the Obamessiah as dictator and we are in for seriously bad times. Short of believing that there will be outright Death Camps for Conservatives, I think that the sky's the limit for how oppressive the will be. The "fairness" doctrine will be passed to shut up any dissenting opinions, and worse, anyone that disagrees with the Ruling Faction will be branded as racists or worse. I think that the assault on the Second Amendment will be even worse than Clinton's first couple of years, and he killed 80 men, women, and children in the name of gun control.

Yesterday, someone mentioned FDR's attempt to "pack" the Supreme Court by expanding the number of justices. I will be surprised if we don't see something like this from Obama before the first mid-term elections in 2010. We may see that even if the Donks don't get a filibuster-proof majority. The Republicans have traditionally been weak opposition when they are in the Minority. Hell, they let Ginsburg through without even a token fight.

If we are to make it through the next four years without there being wholesale changes to the fundamental structure of our Government, the Republicans are going to have to do better than they've been doing.

I am very pessimistic about the forseeable future.

When I voted in the primary, I breezed into the early voting place, and offered to show them some I.D. They said they don't check, and simply refused to go any further.

High court rejects GOP in Ohio voting dispute

And the reason?

"...they (the court) said they were granting Brunner's request because it appears that the law does not allow private entities, like the Ohio GOP, to file suit to enforce the provision of the law at issue."

So, let me see, it's more important to observe a technicality than to help ensure a fair election. I understand the law, but sometimes - as Dickens said - "the law is a a$$."

An unsigned opinion, and no mention of how many voted one way or the other. (But I'd guess it was probably unanimous.)

re: #160 buzzsawmonkey

What is interesting is the refusal of black Americans to embrace their heritage. Black people whose ancestors came here as slaves are people with some of the longest ancestral residence in the United States, since importation of slaves ceased by Constitutional fiat by 1804. In other words, all black Americans have had American antecedents for over 200 years.

Yes, these people were in bondage for another 60 years, but in those 200 years the black Americans--who came here from many different regions, and tribes, of Africa and therefore had no common culture--evolved a distinctly indigenous culture of crafts, folk tales, music, etc. It may have had its roots in the slave experience, but it has been growing among a free people for almost a century and a half.

Yet this indigenous culture has been dissed and downplayed for the last 40 years in favor of assuming a spurious, faux-African culture concocted by Marxists; Kwanzaa, for instance, is a bogus holiday that exists nowhere in Africa, but pretends to be African, and turns its back on the indigenous American black experience. In the same way, the educational achievements of black Americans during the Jim Crow period are downplayed in favor of exalting the would-be revolutionaries. Figures such as George Washington Carver, a staple of textbooks 40 years ago, are seldom mentioned. The musical genius of Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, and hundreds of others are ignored and/or dismissed by ideologues seeking to build a fake Africa-centric culture to supplant and conceal the genuine achievements of indigenous Americans.

This, to my mind, is a theft from the American black community, by its own "leaders," of scandalous proportions.

Can We Please Define 'Racism'?

By Selwyn Duke

James Watson, the geneticist who helped unravel the structure of DNA, came under fire for saying that Africans are not as intelligent as Westerners. Aside from his remarks being deemed baseless and unscientific, he has quite predictably been labeled "racist." Why, some thought police even want him charged under Britain's Orwellian "racial hatred laws" (Watson is conducting a speaking tour in Britain presently). He has apologized, and averred, “I cannot understand how I could have said what I am quoted as having said."

In light of this tendency to apply the "R-word," one that claims as victims late sportscaster Jimmy "the Greek" Snyder, manager of the Cincinnati Reds Dusty Baker, former baseball commissioner Al Campanis, late NFL player Reggie White and many others, I have a question.

What is "racism"?

Is it simply voicing beliefs about differences among races? Am I a racist if I say that blacks have darker skin and frizzier hair? No, I suppose not. What about if I point out that blacks commit a disproportionate amount of crime and that 70 percent of black children are born out-of-wedlock, versus 27 percent for whites? Well, in our culture that is borderline. But why? On what basis should we determine what is "racist"?

One might think that pointing out negative characteristic qualities or the weaknesses of a race makes a person a racist, but even this cannot be so. After all, we take pains to emphasize that sickle cell anemia is unique to blacks and that they are more likely to develop heart disease. Then there is the fact that Tay-Sachs Disease is found only among certain distinct groups, mainly Jews. In fact, were we to claim that these crosses are borne equally by all, we would be labeled "racist" for ignoring what ails minorities. It would be said that we really didn't care if they lived or died. This gets confusing, though; on the one hand we're castigated for pointing out differences, on the other we're complimented for doing so.

It might seem that we mustn't bring to light differences when doing so can lead to discrimination, but not so fast. When we emphasize the fact that only certain groups suffer from certain diseases, they receive attention and funding that others will not. Moreover, showcasing disparities in performance among the races has long been used to justify quotas and set-asides.

So, this is where one must start to think that there is more here -- or less -- than meets the eye. Is it that we cannot point out differences which, when brought to light, can lead to discrimination that doesn't benefit politically-favored groups? Ah, now we're getting somewhere. That certainly is part of the equation.

What, though, should be our standard? Well, it cannot be discovered by analyzing what has been said about Dr. Watson but, rather, by what is usually left unsaid. As was the case with the reception given to The Bell Curve, critics tend to take the position that the issue should not be raised, much less debated.

And that brings us to the crux of the matter. All intellectual inquiry, be it scientific or philosophical, should be a search for Truth. This search must be sincere and remain unfettered by agendas or dogmas, and we do otherwise at our own peril.

This is why the politically correct thought police are so destructive. When they criticize a man like Watson, not only do they rarely say his statements are untrue, but the Truth of the matter doesn't even seem to enter their minds. No, it doesn't because they are blinded by their agenda.

177 Ozark Mountain Daredevil  Fri, Oct 17, 2008 10:37:55am

Oh, having an agenda or hypothesis doesn't make them unusual, but an intellectually honest seeker of knowledge will alter his hypothesis when the data contradicts it. To these folks, however, their agenda is deified and takes precedence over Truth; thus, when the Truth contradicts their agenda, instead of altering the latter, they simply suppress or rationalize away the Truth. Or, that is, anything they may fear is Truth.

It's ironic, too, because these leftists are the same people who usually condemn Christianity for stifling scientific enterprise (a false claim). How many times have we heard about Galileo (his story has been mischaracterized)? But who is stifling scientific inquiry and open debate now? Even more egregiously, these modern-day inquisitors would imprison those who violate their dogma. They have become guilty of what they decry.

The Truth is that the outrage here isn't Dr. Watson's remarks; they're either true or not. What's outrageous is that we're suffering under the yoke of those to whom Truth means nothing -- the practitioners of a dark faith. They don't care if a statement is correct, only whether it's politically correct. They hate the Truth when it contradicts their agenda, and they'll stop at nothing to still the tongues of those who would dare voice it. Racists? These miscreants are infinitely worse. They are Truthists.

And what is the Truth about racial differences? For one thing, is it logical and rational to claim that, except for appearance and a few diseases and conditions of the body, every group is the same in every way?

This is the left's implication, and it's absurd. It seems especially odd when you consider that most of these inquisitors are secularists who subscribe to the theory of evolution. Yet, despite their belief that different groups "evolved" in completely different parts of the world, operating in different environments and subject to different stresses, they would have us believe that all groups are identical in terms of the multitude of man's talents and in every single measure of mental capacity. Why, miracle of miracles, all these two-legged cosmic accidents, the product of a billions-of-years journey from the primordial soup to primacy among creatures, whose evolution was influenced by perhaps millions of factors, wound up being precisely the same. It's really the best argument for God I've ever heard, as such a statistical impossibility could only exist if it was ordained by the one with whom all things are possible.

Lastly, if we really care about a race's welfare, shouldn't we "diagnose" its condition -- whatever that condition may be -- properly so that its gifts may be best utilized, its inherent weaknesses best mitigated and its problems best remedied? If this makes sense with physical crosses such as sickle-cell anemia and heart disease, it makes sense for all crosses, be they spiritual, social or, dare I say, intellectual. Stating this isn't wrong or racist, and it shouldn't be repressed. And as Dr. Watson might say, that's something you don't have to be a Sherlock to understand.

re: #144 leboaz

A little OT, but I want to do a poll. Now that early voting is starting I have a dilemma. I live in a western state that could easily be called "little Cuba". Therefore, if I vote early I fear that the embedded ACORN types who run everything here will just have more time to 'misplace' my vote. Same with absentee. On the other hand, if I wait 'till election day, I may not have the chance to vote. Two years ago (I hate to give anyone ideas) some 'community activists' sent their hordes out to heavily Republican polling places on election day. They parked their cars in all the spaces, milled about, and even stood in line, therefore discouraging at least a few voters. When I voted in the primary, I breezed into the early voting place, and offered to show them some I.D. They said they don't check, and simply refused to go any further. They're going to try to steal this election, and right now I have no faith in the system. Anyway, WWLD? ( What Would Lizards Do?)

Vote early, and volunteer with your local GOP to be a poll watcher.

I figured the kids are getting it from their parents.

I'm sure that's also true. Nevertheless, I believe there are very large numbers of parents who have view points that run seriously counterpoint to the re-education camps many publicly funded schools have become. Did you read about the parents in Mass. who attempted to get the Kindergarten class their little boy attended to inform them before they handed out work-books expounding upon gay marriage as a norm. I think there is such a thing as homophobia; I'm actually not sure if these parents were homophobic, but they certainly did not share the same viewpoint as the state of Mass. on the subject. Tough luck for them and tougher luck for their children attending a Mass. public school. BTW, the school officials had the father arrested - led away from a meeting w/school officials in handcuffs - for his civil insistence on notification. I think that's very scary.

Nor would we be inclined to threaten riots, unlike some liberals who have essentially promised Rodney King verdict-style bedlam in the streets if Barack Obama loses. Also, conservatives love our country too much to make empty threats about moving to Canada, which is essentially just a less free, more liberal version of Massachusetts anyway.

Actually I think it "appears" more racist, as in lumping two disparate groups into a "non-white" category.

It also distorts the results. I don't think Hispanics and Blacks are in lock-step on many, if any, issues so why lump them together?

I agree that it probably distorst the results, and from a skeptical point of view, that may be the intention. If the groups were separated and it became 85-10-5 and 65-25-10 that might show even more racism. Ironically there is only one other 'race' listed in the poll - White. There is no 'other' grouping in the results.

Here's a couple of chilling thoughts for you to consider:

Any thoughts as to where Ward Churchill fits into the impending Ø administration?

Will there be plans for a national Rachel Corrie memorial on the mall in D.C.? How about demolishing the Lincoln Memorial and putting the shrine to Corrie in its place? After all, she was doing everything to liberate the oppressed Palestinians, right? After all, there's little doubt that everything Lincoln did pales in comparison.

With so many things being done by the obamunists already, I don't think I have many more tears left to weep any more for what my beloved country is morphing into. It's difficult enough being self employed and assisting my elderly parents, as it is - with today's news out of Ohio, I think my reserves of strength/confidence in the future are in jeopardy.

I agree that it probably distorst the results, and from a skeptical point of view, that may be the intention. If the groups were separated and it became 85-10-5 and 65-25-10 that might show even more racism. Ironically there is only one other 'race' listed in the poll - White. There is no 'other' grouping in the results.

My faux pas. Further down in the detail there is. According to the poll 3% of blacks back McCain.

Black 81% 3% 16%
Hispanic 59% 29% 12%

“Some of the students were calling me racist because I was Caucasian,” she said. “I wanted the Caucasian man to win. And I told them that’s not true. It’s my freedom of speech, it’s my opinion.

Poor little girl is already partially brainwashed by the Public School System. She's afraid to say "WHITE" when she refers to herself. "WHITE" and "BLACK" are bad terms and we must apply the appropriate labels when we speak about ourselves or we are Racist.

My son's 2 & 3rd grade friends started hoot'n & Holler'n at him when he said "black guy" in their presence a few weeks ago. They told him it was Wrong to say "black guy" they even almost started to go tell their mommies on him. I home-school and refuse to use Politically Correct labels in our home. I say White, Black, Mexican, Korean, etc. It was OK in their minds to make him feel like a weenie just because he didn't say African American. Yeah - within earshot of their moms I explained to them that their is nothing racist about calling someone Black, White, Korean, etc.

What the Obama worshipers are doing may pay off for them in the short run, but it will prove disastrous for the democrats in the long run.

Post after post on sites like Hillary Clinton Forum, PUMAPac, HillBuzz - all the PUMA sites, including Democrats for McCain - deploring ACORN's tactics and declaring "I'll never vote for another democrat, EVER!" (unless it's for Hillary) by life-long democrats may very well indicate a deep and final rift in the democrat party.

If only 35-40 percent of the 18 million Hillary supporters leave the democrat party because of Obama's shenanigans, future democrats across the board will have a much more difficult time of getting elected.

Plus, the thuggish and vile accusations of "RACIST!" will not deter most voters when they're in that voting booth, all alone, with no one to see how they voted.

Ohio's Ms Brunner may have succeeded in getting her way by perpetuating voter fraud, but the tens of thousands of Ohio voters who are turned off because of being accused of being "Bitter" and "clinging" - many of the democrats - will hopefully negate the fraudulent numbers.

And they will vote, whereas the 200,000 questionable registrants are not guaranteed to do so.

In some cases, more than one voter was registered using the same Social Security number. In others, people who the Republicans said had no Social Security number on public record were registered." All of these are of individuals who have already cast ballots in the June New Mexico state legislative Democratic primary.

For all that the Donks like to pretend that they're oh so beyond good and evil, they are actually some of the most ridged dogmatists around. Any disagreement with their orthodoxy, no matter how small or benign, is SIN. It must be vigorously attacked, refuted, and driven out of the body politic like some possessing demon being excorcized by a "holy" Priest.

They make Martin Luthor look like a hedonist by comparison.

Barack Obama - Narcissist?


I. Upbringing and Childhood

Obama's early life was decidedly chaotic and replete with traumatic and mentally bruising dislocations. Mixed-race marriages were even less common then. His parents went through a divorce when he was an infant (two years old). Obama saw his father only once again, before he died in a car accident. Then, his mother re-married and Obama had to relocate to Indonesia: a foreign land with a radically foreign culture, to be raised by a step-father. At the age of ten, he was whisked off to live with his maternal (white) grandparents. He saw his mother only intermittently in the following few years and then she vanished from his life in 1979. She died of cancer in 1995.

The maladaptive coping mechanism called "splitting", in a narcissist regards the people arouind him as either all good or all bad, is a very common trait in narcissists and Obama exhibits this in his habit of throwing formerly loyal followers under the bus.

re: #311 CommonCents

Abolition of private property can be summed up by "imminent domain". Wasn't the same judge who ruled the Ohio election case the same one that pushed the domain case?

Justice John Paul Stevens, writing for the majority, cited cases in which the court has interpreted "public use" to include not only such traditional projects as bridges or highways but also slum clearance and land redistribution. He concluded that a "public purpose" such as creating jobs in a depressed city can also satisfy the Fifth Amendment.

The court should not "second-guess" local governments, Stevens added, noting that "[p]romoting economic development is a traditional and long accepted function of government."

Stevens's opinion provoked a strongly worded dissent from Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who wrote that the ruling favors the most powerful and influential in society and leaves small property owners little recourse. Now, she wrote, the "specter of condemnation hangs over all property. Nothing is to prevent the State from replacing any Motel 6 with a Ritz-Carlton, any home with a shopping mall, or any farm with a factory."

This is how they were raised.


OT - a few years ago my son and I were at the Dentists office (he was 17) and all the chairs were taken. An elderly woman and her husband walked in. My son got out of his chair and gave it to her. She sat down and said "He did not have to do that". I said "Yes, he did."

If this has already been posted, sorry, but John defends Joe, my favorite part highlighted:

"You may have noticed-- there was a lot of talk about Senator Obama's tax increases and Joe the Plumber. Last weekend, Senator Obama showed up in Joe's driveway to ask for his vote, and Joe asked Senator Obama a tough question. I'm glad he did; I think Senator Obama could use a few more tough questions. The response from Senator Obama and his campaign yesterday was to attack Joe. People are digging through his personal life and he has TV crews camped out in front of his house. He didn't ask for Senator Obama to come to his house. He wasn't recruited or prompted by our campaign. He just asked a question. And Americans ought to be able to ask Senator Obama tough questions without being smeared and targeted with political attacks. The question Joe asked about our economy is important, because Senator Obama's plan would raise taxes on small businesses that employ 16 million Americans. Senator Obama's plan will kill those jobs at just the time when we need to be creating more jobs. My plan will create jobs, and that's what America needs."

McCain needs to keep Joe in the limelight and keep defending him.

357 Kenneth  Fri, Oct 17, 2008 11:26:16am

Obama displays the following behaviors, which are among the hallmarks of pathological narcissism:

Subtly misrepresents facts and expediently and opportunistically shifts positions, views, opinions, and "ideals" (e.g., about campaign finance, re-districting). These flip-flops do not cause him overt distress and are ego-syntonic (he feels justified in acting this way). Alternatively, reuses to commit to a standpoint and, in the process, evidences a lack of empathy.

Ignores data that conflict with his fantasy world, or with his inflated and grandiose self-image. This has to do with magical thinking. Obama already sees himself as president because he is firmly convinced that his dreams, thoughts, and wishes affect reality. Additionally, he denies the gap between his fantasies and his modest or limited real-life achievements (for instance, in 12 years of academic career, he hasn't published a single scholarly paper or book).

Feels that he is above the law, incl. and especially his own laws.

Talks about himself in the 3rd person singluar or uses the regal "we" and craves to be the exclsuive center of attention, even adulation

Have a messianic-cosmic vision of himself and his life and his "mission".

Sets ever more complex rules in a convoluted world of grandiose fantasies with its own language (jargon)

Displays false modesty and unctuous "folksiness" but unable to sustain these behaviors (the persona, or mask) for long. It slips and the true Obama is revealed: haughty, aloof, distant, and disdainful of simple folk and their lives.

Sublimates aggression and holds grudges.

Behaves as an eternal adolescent (e.g., his choice of language, youthful image he projects, demands indulgence and feels entitled to special treatment, even though his objective accomplishments do not justify it).

Now go watch Obama's performance at the charity dinner last night. You can see all these characteristics on display.

that's a part of the narcissistic personality disorder, check it out. dont forget to lookup narcissistic injury, narcissistic rage, and the general attitude of feelings trumping reality. NPD leaves one stuck at about 6 y.o. level, so everything they know they did learn in kindergarten.
no joke, makes a lot of pieces fall into place.


The thought is that one of the main driving forces behind narcissism is abandonment by the mother at an early age.
Could this be the "Mom/Dad are your friends" mentality which would leave children without support and anyone whom they can count on? I am not phasing this well, but kids need parents who love them not "friends" who happen to be older. It leaves them adrift in a complicated and sometimes dangerous world.

since it seems we are OT again and splooging about Obama again:

Does anyone else get a creepy feeling when they see those blue & red Obama "hope", "progress", or "change" posters all over the place?

I am aware that this comparison is way too overused, but aren't they a bit 1984?

This isn't necessarily a dig on Obama or his candidacy, but instead a comment on the "propaganda" feeling to the one-word, repetitive, plastered everywhere aspect of this poster. It is almost 100% exactly what we have been warned about through movies, and literature regarding brain-washing, in a futuristic totalitarian environment. In almost every movie I have ever seen about such an Government/World/Country their are one word (or very few word) posters plastered everywhere advocating the "leader". (the fact that they use the single words "Hope" and "Progress" makes it worse, as this is almost exactly what is used in the literature/media scenarios)

This theme can be seen in the last Harry Potter Movie, V For Vendetta, 1984, etc.

re: #380 odinga

I just heard on Rush a McCain audio from a speech today where he nailed Obama for attacking Joe the Plumber. Any links? It sounded like McCain has taken the gloves off and put on a set of brass knuckles.

McCain should keep mentioning that Senator Government is smearing a private citizen who merely asked Obama a question after Obama entered his hood.

Link here. Good stuff.

There is a "Christ, Jesus" listed in the DC phone book.

In the SF book there used to be a lady listed as "Zepheria, Harmonia".

I had - in those days - better manners than to call and ask if that really was her name.

Lizardoids - I have a question

Is there a name for the psychological disorder that causes Liberals to label anything they disagree with "racist"?

It seems to be the same stage of emotional development that leads to the elementary- and middle-school epithets "cooties," "n00b," and "ghey."

re: #369 LindaMarie

That's exactly it. Obama's father dumped them when he was 2. His writings about this period are full of anger & resentment. When his mother remarried he was taken off to Indonesia and immersed in a Muslim society. When they split up, he was dumped back on his white grandparents. The formative years of Obama's life were a series of traumas of abandonment and disslocation. Obama also wrote about his discomfort over his mother's attraction to black men. That reveals an unresolved oedipal conflict.

Now consider the series older men, his surrogate fathers, which Obama has been drawn to:

Frank Marshall: communist, black radical & admitted sex pervert
Rev. Wright: angry, racist preacher
Bill Ayers: terrorist

Liberalism is the mental disorder.

"Racist" is just one of the tactics they use to shut up opponents that they cannot logically argue with in a calm, dispassionate manner.

BDS is another symptom of liberalism.

It's important that these things are identified, so that they can be treated.

I haven't gone through all 350 comments so maybe someone already said this, but I'm really sick of the left labeling anything they don't agree with as "racism". It's rapidly becoming the new "cry wolf".

There is absolutely nothing racist about that shirt, or any of Sarah Palin's comments on the campaign trail for that matter. So much of the left has been completely unhinged for a while and I think we're getting a look at how much worse it can be when they feel like they're getting the upper hand politically. Apparently power corrupts even those who were already pretty corrupt to begin with.

And it really makes me angry when they go after children. That's just despicable. A 12 year old taking part in the political process instead of sitting in front of video games all day (or whatever kids do these days) is admirable in my opinion. The left has gone absolutely insane and the MSM is aiding and abetting.

Twenty-five years ago my late, great mother (a high-school English teacher) told me that the NEA was "evil personified". She always refused to join the NEA. A lot of your kids' problems today can be traced right back to the NEA's influence of your kids' education.

re: #330 Russkilitlover

With a majority in Congress and filibuster proof, to boot, it won't matter how much we scream, there won't be a damn thing we can do about it.


Historically, such obstacles have also been addressed outside of the halls of congress. "We" can do much "about it" both legally and in more creative policy making directions. There are levels of survival, along with tactical avenues yet unexplored, avenues which many of those currently caught in a potential policy making wet dream have yet to fully envision. It will undoubtedly be rough to see businesses board up and an all out assault on free market infrastructure, but take heart. People will vote with their pocketbooks again after seeing a term of true free unrestricked Dem reign and what fruits it yields. And let's wait for the official result on this election first and foremost.

re: #370 uptight

Yes, it's called "Projection", another maladaptive coping mechanism. The liberal feels racist sentiments himself, but feels guilty about it and cannot properly integrate those feelings into his own psyche, so he projects them onto his antagonists.

Modern education has done a marvelous job of conditioning liberal guilt. Obama has been a master at activating the latent racist guilt in liberals and using that to project upon conservatives.

I told them that was completely unacceptable behavior and and a completely unfair aproach to a political conversation.
