Some Still Don’t Get it Department…

Some people still don’t get it or see it.  I guess some still live in a bubble or their travels in life are limited. You might want to read THIS over at Emerge’s blog and the comments especially from this guy. (entry from 9/15/09)

What?  Our President Obama.  Hey, no one not even me expects everyone in the country to like his polices.  I am even a little suspect on this health care issue but I do know that health care is an issue that has to be dealt with now.  Not later like it has been since Medicare was started in 1965.

I didn’t agree with Bush (Dubya) and most of his polices but when this country was attacked, and remember my Right winged friends, it was attacked on HIS watch, I stood behind our President 100%.  I bought into his polices and what he wanted to do.  I firmly believed him and Cheney and Rumsfeld that Saddam Hussein had WMDs and were a threat to us.  Only now can we all look back and see we were duped and lied to.

But you know what?  I never saw the disrespect against Bush as a person as I have seen against Obama.  I saw people protesting Bush’s polices  but never saw the disrespect from Congress Obama is getting. Nor did I see people at Bush events carrying weapons.  If anyone trashed our Constitution and our rights, it was Bush under the guise of Homeland Security and yet the masses were silent.

Last Saturday, the 12th, the biggest wing nut of them all, Glen Beck, organized a march and protest in Washington D.C.  Now Fox and Beck will tell you that over 800,000 people showed up but in fact it was more like 70,000.  Still, people were there to condemn our President not his polices.  All one had to do is look at the signs these people were carrying.  Some referenced Hitler and others Stalin.  Most were simply angry white people and they are angry that a black President is in the Whitehouse.  Plain and simple.

They call Obama a Socialist and yet I’ll bet more than half don’t even know what a Socialist is or how to spell it.  If you want Socialism, then really, under Homeland Security from the Bush era, that is what we had.  More so than we do now.

No there is more going on here than just people mad at Obama and his healthcare.  It can’t be his spending policies or bailouts.  Bush started those and Bush outspent all the last Presidents combined.  Where were these people then?  Isn’t this why Obama was elected by a mass majority in the first place?  To effect change in Washington. To tackle healthcare in this country where people die everyday because they can’t afford healthcare?  To fix our economy and get things back on track after the train wreck that was Bush and his 8 years?

No, when people show up at town hall meetings with weapons strapped to themselves, or when a sitting Congressman yells a slur at the speaking President, when a Congressman condones a person that calls himself an American terrorist, or when people like Beck and Limbaugh literally insight people to violence to “take back their country” there must be an underlying thing going on.

It has to be the fact that Obama is black.  Plain and simple.  Nothing else could be at the bottom of this rotten and ugly spew that is coming out of the Right. This is far worse than Clinton’s 8 years and we are only in the 8 month?  All Clinton got hung for (pardon the pun) was a blowjob!  

Nope, this country, or (I hope) at least a loud minority (pardon the pun again) has showed their true racial colors.  This scares me more than any Bin Laden threat.  I am afraid of all the Timothy McVeigh wanna a be’s out there.  Someone is going to do something frightful sooner or later and do it in the name of “their country” or God.  All because we have narrow minded bigots leading in Congress and their followers who line up like sheep and believe everything these people say. I hope I am wrong.  But it seems in this country, if you keep telling lies, people start to believe them.  Death squads, Obama is not a real US citizen, he’s brainwashing our kids, he is a Muslim and giving our country to the Muslims.  On and on….  Any parent who wouldn’t let their child listen to what President Obama had to say to them in a school speech needs to be removed as a parent and take parenting classes and any school administrator that banned the speech doesn’t deserve to be an administrator.  It’s the President of the United States wanting to talk to our kids! What happen to the respect of the office?  Would that been done for Bush? Doubtful.

This is all about race.  Nothing more.  We all better get a grip on ourselves and those of us, that is 70% of us, that believe Obama is trying to help and is making change, well, we need to stop cheering in front of our TVs and hit the streets.  We need to get out and show this small group that they are indeed a minority and we will not stand them tearing our country apart.

Sorry, this is how I feel.   The true terrorist like Bin Laden have truly beaten us if we can’t have civil discord and discussion on our problems facing us.  They have succeed in dividing us, all that is left is for them to conquer us.
