The latest mantra of the liberal party is to call anyone and everyone who doesn't join with their world view, a racist. Don't like the health care law just passed by President Obama..well that means you are a racist. Don't like the idea of paying more taxes such as will be introduce with the VAT..well that means you are a racist. Having a hard time believing the President when he says that he will be more transparent than previous administrations, even though all evidence currently suggests the opposite?..Well that means you are a racist. Angry about the constant spending going on in DC and the lack of attention to the need for Jobs in America? Well, that means you are a racist. Do you disagree with the decision to grant individuals who attempt to kill Americans with the use of terrorist tactics, lawyers and access to civilian courts, when military courts could and have provided justice more safely and at a far less expensive price to tax payers..Well, you may have guessed it already, but that would make you (say it with me)a Racist!
How about those of you who want Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi..both Caucausians fired from their current positions or even from congress? Surprise, surprise..not only are you a racist somehow, but you are also a dangerous likely terrorist who at any moment will commit a violent act.
Let's see what Webster defines as a racist? "1. a belief that race is the primary determinate of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race." Gee, I don't see how disagreeing with health care, excessive spending, or more taxes fits anywhere in that definition.
So, I'm going to have to say that the current use of the term "racist" is inaccurate at best. As the individuals who are throwing this term out constantly, are all educated and somewhat respected members of society it bears questioning what they are doing misrepresenting this term? Could it be that they have ulterior motives? Let me present another question for consideration. If John McCain had won the election and was passing legislation and spending against the will of the majority of the American people and we took a poll that showed 90% of white Americans still supported him, what would the minority groups like the NAACP, Hispanic groups, Asian American groups, among others say that number suggested? I think it would be a loud shout of "racism"...particularly if the groups those whites were apart of...such as the Republican or Democratic parties showed a supporting percentage of say only 60% or 70%. Then how could another 30% or 40% of whites have any other claim for supporting him other than his race?
Yet we see that President Obama enjoys a 90% plus approval rating among black Americans and no one questions the motivation for that number? It doesn't matter that his own party has not given him that high of a mark since he took office. However, I assure you that my merely possing this question will lead to some if not all on the left calling me a racist for having the audacity to ask such a question. I am not afraid. I will question with boldness and without fear of retribution. This is still America and I wore the uniform of my country to defend the rights of each of us to speak. I even defend the right of those on the left to call me a racist, although it is clearly unfounded.
Racist..it's not just for bigots, Klansmen, or Neo Nazi's anymore...if you question the left..it is now for you.
