It is amazing what happens over a holiday week end. I hope everyone has had a great Easter Holiday. After all, this was a very special holiday. It was the week end that our Lord and Savior went to the cross for all of us and then rose from the dead to break the chains of sin so that we all may have life ever after.
But such a holiday brings out the worst in some of us. I was listening to talk radio over the past few days and I am amazed at the talk surround Sen. Obama. I even saw a headline in some obscure magazine at the book store about Obama that really upset me.
The title of the article was "When Barry became Barack." I didn't know Sen Obama wasn't always himself. So I had to breeze through the article to see what they were saying. And it turns out it was pretty much a liberal magazine and it trashed Obama for what it says was coming to terms with his identity. It claims Obama dumped his white heritage in favor of his black heritage simply because he decided to use his real name instead of a nick name.
I could not believe what I was reading. But then again, there has been a lot of talk on both sides of the political isle about just that. Obama is a black man. Obama is denying his white side. Obama can't be both black and white. Obama should not go to a white hating church. And a whole lot more.
Now forget the fact that the man just has the wrong ideas for America which is why he should not be our next President. Lets look at this guy for who he is. He is a human being. He is an American. But many will not let him be human.
It all started months ago when the press began to ask, "Is Obama black enough?" What kind of question or statement is that. For the most part it has been liberals who have railed against or for Obama because of his skin color. Then again, some say he isn't black because he is too light in skin tone.
The man is a human being with an African father and a Anglo mother. That means, in some terms, he is a molado. Half black half white. There should be no discussion about this. This should not be an issue. Yet he has had to defend himself on his race time and time again.
As a mixed race man myself, I find it highly offensive that this has become such an issue. And it has become more of an issue with the very people who say they are so open minded. The liberals are doing most of the bashing and questioning here.
You don't here anybody questioning Clinton's heritage. You don't here about Clinton having to distance herself from people who say radical or racist things. Whenever some boob drops a bomb on the Clinton side, all you hear about is the person who made the comment. The press and radio don't delve into what Clinton is thinking. There is no call for Clinton to make a speech to get from under the ball and chain of a friend.
But Obama is forced to because he is half black. That is wrong and America knows it. There are a lot of people who hate America. They come in all colors. For the most part they are Liberal in their politics. Yet we don't see the press jumping on them. We don't see the press asking question after question to whites running for high office about their affiliations with liberal anti-American groups. Hell, we don't even here about the Democrat relationships with the KKK. But you let a conservative be aligned with such groups and you will hear all about it.
You let a black man be a part of someones group who hates America and you will hear all about it.
Did Obama screw up? Yes he did. He should have said, "This is America and there are people who will say things your or I don't agree with but that is what makes this country great. No matter what color your skin you can say what is on your mind and have a discussion about it. I am an American and I believe in the freedom of speech. My minister has said some things I have disagreed with in the past and I am sure he will say things I disagree with in the future. It in no way has a bearing on what I believe in." And then he should have let it drop.
Yes, I have heard what Pastor Wright has said. I do not agree with what he said. I do defend his right to say it even if it is pretty much anti-America. It does not mean Obama is anti-American and it in no way means Obama should have to explain himself being half black and half white.
On this issue, I stand with Obama. Be proud of who you are and don't let anyone make you chose or deny any part of you. I sure as hell won't.

Racist and Ignorant people Vote Democrat
Why Blacks should not support Democrats.
Blacks should not the Democrat Party in general. No minority group should support the Democrat Party in general. If you have read my comments anywhere on the web, here, Fool.com, ArgueWithEveryone, and many other boards and forums then you know I have no love for the Democrat Party in general.
History has shown us just how racist and bigoted the Democrat Party was and to an extent, still is. The Democrats believe that minorities, especially blacks, cannot make it in life without their help. The dirty little secret is that the Democrats are the reason that minorities have a harder than normal time making it.
Democrats have shown through out history to hate blacks and minorities. They have passed laws upholding segregation, poll taxes and much, much more. Democrats have shown through out history to be the major forces behind denying legislation that would give blacks and other minorities and equal voice in public discourse.
Civil Rights took so long to pass mainly because Democrats blocked its passage for decades before the 1960's. Indeed, the Democrat Party is the home of the KKK and slavery. This is documented fact and they cannot spin it any other way.
The Democrat Party had more members sitting in Congress who where also members of the KKK than any other party including the Republican Party. Republicans have been the ones to advance civil liberty. Republicans have been the one who went to war to right a terrible wrong that was known as slavery.
As blacks succeed and join the ranks of the middle class and the upper class, you will notice that they tend to register and vote Republican. They specifically vote conservative. Republicans believe in the human spirit. Republicans believe that each individual has and equal opportunity to shine and become successful in any en devour they choose so long as government gets out of their way.
Democrats want to continue destroying urban minority families with their welfare policies and other public policies. They keep our schools in the inner city a mess. After all they are the ones who control most schools. Democrats are the largest block against vouchers or any kind of school choice.
A Democrat founded Planned Parent Hood and its original goal was to “control the minority population”. Democrats have promised much to help minorities and inner cities and have delivered little if anything. Democrats are the ones who gave us “Don't ask, don't tell” in the military yet they blame the Republicans for it. A Democrat signed the “Defense of Marriage Act” but blame the Republicans for this law.
No, I will not vote for or support a party that has proven itself to be corrupt and racist. Shame on any minority that supports such a group. Including Obama. Why do we assist in our own destruction? I want the Democrats to come up with honest policy that truly is fair and colorblind. Until then, this cool Black man will remain conservative and most likely vote Republican. You should to if you are or like minorities.
Stumble It!
