Howard Dean says it again! During a recent speech he points out that in his opinion the Republican Party is essentially the party of white (read racists) evangelical centrists (read sexist racists of dubious lineage). This isn’t the first time he has brought this up during his speeches but it is another clear indication of what I have certainly commented on before. That in our topsy-turvy black is white, and up is down world, if you are white, at least according to many of those elitist DNC political leaders today, you are by definition a racist-sexist-supremacist and therefore incapable of any open discussion of race, sex, or supremacy issues facing our country today.
If you don’t vote for Barrack Hussein Obama it is as obvious as the nose on your face that you are a racist. If you are a card-carrying member of the Republican Party you must be a racist. If you are a registered Independent but vote for anyone but Obama, then it follows that you must be a closet Republican racist, and simply to stupid to understand which party you should be claiming.
Again, I want to make it very clear that I believe people are people, regardless of the color of their skin or the sex they were born into. People generally work hard to provide the basics of shelter, food, and heat, find a loving mate, raise their family and hopefully live a full and productive life. During the course of my lifetime thus far I have assisted in dozens and dozens of life saving situations and never once did I ever give a moments thought to the sex or color of the person whose life I was trying to save. I have also had my life saved by the prompt, and in at least two of those instances, courageous actions of others, nor did I worry about what sex or color my savior would be.
I believe that most people, both young and old, have encountered a sudden serious emergency where they have been faced with a situation in which their prompt action, or lack of action, would have a direct impact on the life of another person. And many of us have been in situations where we owe our lives to the prompt actions of others. I believe that is the norm, not the exception of people every where. I also believe that these are not the people who tend to be in politics. Some may have started out like that. They may even have really believed they could make positive changes for their fellow citizens but the temptations of today’s politicians, the fame, the power, the money; coupled with a culture of greed, corruption and a “you scratch my back and I will scratch yours,” stifles those initial ambitions if ever they existed to begin with.
Still, I can’t say it enough. American’s have got to be willing to band together and use their voice along with their vote to hold our politicians accountable and help put our country back on a path of both security and prosperity for all our nations’ peoples. Heck you might even say liberty and justice for all!
