There was a time when I would say that I would not want a Black President. I still don't, but circumstances are upon us. The White Man founded this country and was the most influential in it's development, at least in the good years of the past. Logically this would indicate that a White Man would be best at preserving and supporting the ideals upon which this country was founded. But now it seems nothing could be farther from the truth.
As an admitted racist, but with my own definition which does not include bigotry, I am White and I am voting for Obama. This is unprecedented because I have a great disdain for liberals, democrats, their ideas and ideals, and policies. It seems like they want to be my Mother. Damn, everyone wants to be my Mother, except my Mother !
The reason I choose Obama is because of what is good for the people. I have heard enough of the rhetoric to know that McCain cares mainly for the rich. His ol boy network has done enough. I welcome Obama's new ol boy network because I am hard pressed to find any way that they could be worse. Even McCain's best rhetoric seems to imply that he think he is going to bel ected by the rich, possibly mailing in their absentee ballots from yacht clubs all over the world. Sorry, but that's the impression I get.
I will fully admit that McCain might be marginally better at handling certain affairs, but it is the overall attitude that turns me off. Obama said it "trickle down, it didn't work". He has expressed a desire to stop the hemmorage of jobs from this country. The only idea McCain has in that regard is to invest in new energy technology, which does not exist yet and therefore has no profit potential in the near future. Ever get behind on child support ? The judge will tell you "that kid has to eat EVERY DAY, not just when you can afford it". Either one of them, if they don't do something to make it attractive to have industry and business here, they have failed.
Perot was right, you make more money making computer chips than potato chips. But there is a middle ground. That middle ground was occupied by the middle class. We need to make our own mass market items, and God forbid, possibly even sell some of them abroad ? Fancy that notion. I don't care who gets in, we just can't keep buying everything, we need to sell something. Admittedly Obama probably doesn't really have a comprehensive plan, but McCain seems to be totally ignorant of the problem.
Now for the race issue. I am a self proclaimed White racist, but not bigot. Finding the correct term for that has been discussed to no avail. I would never want to kill Obama unless he starts another war. I can't say that about GW Bush. And Bush is White.
If any of these crackpot groups go out and take Obama out, they are doing White people a great disservice. They prove that some of us are uncivilised and actually lawless little babies when we don't get our way. They prove that all they say about the White race being a great race is bullshit because we still do things like this.
What's more, they prove that they know nothing but skin color. In the end, peace is the only way. Can you imagine the backlash if the crackpots somehow did manage to assassinate the first other than white President ever to get elected in this country ? And I say other than white for a reason.
If you think about Black people in this country, they have come a long way. They were kidnapped from their huts or jungles or whatever and brought to a strange place where they were forced to learn language like animals, and work hard and get treated like animals. It was illegal to teach them to read for quite some time. Whites have built society for millenia, and now in a scant two centuries give or take, we have Black scientists, doctors, engineers, just about everything. One could say "Why not President ?". Indeed.
But then Obama is not that kind of Black person. His Father was obviously educated as he was able to travel. He was not plucked from a jungle somewhere. His Mother is White, so he is not really even Black. So where does the racism issue stand now ?
So I don't really know what "never-ending racial attacks" means. Constant assassination attempts ? Flyers and mail going out proclaiming that President Obama made a mistake because he isn't White ? If someone wanted to show their stupidity, I think that would be a pretty good way to do it.
Or would they show up at my doorstep and pass out flyers ?
I guess anything could happen so I don't know anything anymore. I'll go drink an eightpack of beer and then I'll know everything. Be back later.
