Vote Obama or You’re a Racist

The idea that Obama’s ascent to the nomination is related to redemption is not new nor is the idea that if one does not vote for him then that person is a racist. Jesse Jackson called this campaign a redemptive one (as if affirmative action in the presidency redeems anything) and the claim that those who do not vote for Obama are racists has been floating around since about the West Virginia primaries. Now it will begin full force and those who want Obama to win will stop at nothing, including stirring “white guilt”, in order to get him elected. The Gateway Pundit and the Prairie Pundit both report on New York Governor David Patterson’s speech to the NAACP where he makes that very claim:
“Can America reject the crucible of race that has dictated and pervaded all of our history to embrace an African American man who has the right polices for the next decade in this country? Can America overlook its past practices that were so grave that in1820 the great Scottish Whig, Sydney Smith, writing in the Edinburgh Review, said of America: ‘How can they protest the tyrannies of Europe when they torture and brutalize one-sixth of its population?’ How can America get past this and elect an African-American president of the United States?” Mr. Paterson said.
He continued: “Can America go past the crippling way that we’ve shot ourselves in the foot over and over, denying opportunity to people who are bright, to people who are qualified, to people who are able because they didn’t look like us, or they didn’t come from where we came from, or they are from a different gender, or they are from the African continent? Can America push that away and find new leadership? We’ll find out in the next few months what America can do.”
Mr. Paterson, who is New York’s first black governor, also turned the focus on himself, strongly suggesting that people have belittled his governorship not because of the unusual way in which he took office but because of his race.
To Patterson, anyone who does not vote for Obama is continuing the racist ways of our country. We would be crippling ourselves by rejecting Obama even if we don’t agree with anything he says. Patterson believes that if Obama loses it is because people did not like the way he looks. It can’t be the message because Patterson tells us that Obama has the right policies for the next decade.
This, of course, is the problem with liberals. They believe that their message is the correct one so there is no way any thinking person could reject them. Therefore, if you reject Obama you are rejecting him for his color and that makes you a racist. The truth is, not everyone agrees with the message and many of us do not believe it is the correct one for the next decade. His ideas were not the correct ones decades ago when Jimmy Carter came to power and they certainly are not the right ones now.
Patterson goes on to say that he has had a hard time, not because he did nothing to earn his job, but because of his race.
I don’t imagine his admitted drug use and extra marital affair (his and his wife’s) would have anything to do with the way people see him. No, to liberals those messages are right as well.
Get ready folks because the onslaught is coming. A lot of people will be branded racists before this is all over. The Democrats are laying the groundwork early so they can make a lot of people reflect and then feel guilty about the past. Their plan is to tap into enough guilt to get Obama elected.
It won’t work for me. I don’t care what they label me. I will never vote for anyone based on skin color and I will never vote for Obama because he is not what this country needs. I have no guilt and won’t feel badly at all when I vote for someone who is not Obama. If an Obama defeat is a victory for racism, as Patterson says, then I am on the side of victory for racism.
Over 90% of blacks will vote for Obama no matter what because about that percentage votes Democratic anyway. Those who decide not to vote for Obama will be voting against an ideology and not a color regardless of what David Patterson or any other liberal moron says.
I plan on making a redemptive vote. I plan on voting to reject Obama and therefore redeeming America’s slide toward liberalism.

I think that the telling part of his indictment of those of us who could never vote for that empty suit is when he says,
“Can America go past the crippling way that we’ve shot ourselves in the foot over and over, denying opportunity to people who are bright, to people who are qualified,”
The key there is qualified. You and I both know that Barack Hussein Obama is far from qualified.

I doubt anyone who reads this accurate record of Mr. Obama would believe that he’s qualified to be an United States Senator much less President of the United States. There is a truth about stuffed shirts like Obama, they always get promoted to a position of incompetence. This is what I fear this year especially of people vote for him based on his race and ignore his lack of qualifications.
Sorry to bloviate Big Dog.
I inspected my feet and sure enough, I found plenty of holes! Using a little trick I picked up watching CSI, I checked the calibre of the holes and discovered it is the liberals and democrats that have been shooting my feet!
Social programs that de”foot” American men-of-color (or “niggas,” in Jessy Jackson’s terms) from gaining the two vital elements of success have been the cornerstone of liberal politics since liberals forgot what “liberal” really means. That would be ambition, and pride in your self.
Thomas Sowell says it…so well.
Paterson, oh my. Even in his ignorance, Patterson’s rant has some truth; Democrats shoot African American’s feet everytime they get the chance.
How else ca they keep them chained?
I just watched a blurb from this mornings View on Fox where they were discussing the use of the ssshhhhhh n-word.
I may try to write on it later but bottom line is, as long as there are standards of conduct and speech allowed for one group and not another, America will NEVER be as one.
BD can probably relate to the story of when I received a summarized AR15 while in the Army for saying to the CSM, “that’s fucking stupid!”
What we were talking about is the fact that I stopped two guys in my squad from speaking in spanish when in uniform. For obvious reasons we can’t have a 12 man squad all on the same commo loop and two “speaking amongst themselves”… am I making any sense?
This PC stuff really gets to me…
Needless to say, after being undermined by the CSM that day I was useless in trying to lead these two troops. After that they knew that “I” would get in trouble if they went and said SSG M said something they didn’t like…. its one of the reasons I left the military with a bad taste in my mouth, PC and females have ruined our military…
Hey Swinehart-
Your buddy Thomas Sowell advocates the decriminalization of drugs. Weren’t you just giving me lip about that on my blog the other day? Idiot.

I am a racist. I would much rather see Obama in office than that coward McCain. Try that on for size.
Vote for whom you wish but McCain is no coward. He has many problems but being a coward is not one of them.
As white people, lets just get this on the table once and for all – we dont want no dang negroes for president, thats how we all feel deep down. We will go for equality in any other place – just not the White House.
Right my white brethren ?
Wrong ! We’d vote for Colin Powell, or Condoleeza Rice in a heartbeat. It’s the ideology you morons, the ideology.
Obama is not even in the same league as John McCain. He’s not even 1/2 the man John McCain is. But Im gonna vote for Obama for one reason, and one reason only – once he is elected, we wont ever again have to hear about inequality in the United States. Now, shits equal – no more excuses.
