The Left of Hate

I was talking go a couple of guys the other day. The conversation turned political when an advertisement come on the TV. We could not here what the this particular advertisement was saying because we were in a bar and the volume was turned down.

One of the gentlemen asked what I thought of Hillary Clinton. I responded, “I don't like her, I don't trust her and I don't believe she is best for the Office or the Country.” His reply was that he liked her for the simple fact that he thought she would get us out of Iraq when she took office.

The other gentlemen ask me if I like Barack Obama. He is an elderly black man and I am a young black man. (Actually we are both mixed race but that is a discussion for another time) I said I thought Obama was too slick and too inexperienced to be President of the United States. Surprisingly he agreed however. They both expressed support for Hillary.

When I informed them that Hillary has stated publicly that she would not pull out of Iraq if elected they first didn't believe me. But when I explained why she wouldn't they paused and the elderly man said it was because of Bush. It was his mess and that she would have to clean it up.

The conversation went on to cover such things as health care, taxes (tax the rich) and other things of note till we finally got to the point of discussing Clarence Thomas and Condi Rice. The elderly black man called them both 'Uncle Tom's'.

I had to ask what made them such a thing. I really did not get a response other than something filled with hate. He said that Condi probably had sexual relations with a number of white men in power to get where she is and the Clarence by his views and being conservative had to be an Uncle Tom.

That got me to thinking. When a black person becomes successful outside of the entertainment or sports industry, they should still be liberal. If they are not then they are Uncle Toms and have sold out their fellow black brothers and sisters. Forget the fact that these successful blacks might just have an educated mind of their own.

This view was based on ignorance and hate. Hate for conservatives, hate for Bush, hate for anything that is not big government.

When I explained that the Constitution of the United States does not authorize the Federal Government to do many of the things it does, the sneered and said that there was Supreme Court precedence for such things. They also lambasted chief Justice Roberts because he said he was going to rule on precedence. They misunderstood what the Chief Justice said.

He was referring to the precedence as set fourth by over 150 years prior to the 1950's when the Supreme Court began rewriting history and started creating law from the bench. I told them that the Founding Fathers had set precedent and that the modern court has thrown all that out the window and began setting their own.

Confronted with this reality, they could not argue but started calling conservatives names and kept lambasting conservative blacks and other minorities.

When it comes down to it, the left are the ones who hate the most. They cannot win with their ideas simply because their ideas are based on emotion and not logic or common sense. They lack any real significance is reality and when confronted with this, they cannot argue so instead resort to name calling and lambasting anyone who would dare question their sincere intentions. Life is not about good intentions, its about reality and logic and common sense. Life in this country is about the Constitution and how the Founding Fathers saw how things should be for the good of all.

Liberals are not interested in the good of all. Only the good of the few, the minority. In doing this they, end up costing us all our liberty and freedom. The saying goes, the road to hell is always paved with good intentions.
