WITHOUT RACE HATRED, WE WOULD HAVE NO POLITICS AT ALL
RACISM IS POLITICS LIKE CONSERVATISM IS FEAR AND GREED
By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER
Americans can be such a pack of liars. Isn’t it time we came out of the closet? Reagan told us that greed and fear were American virtues. We built a way of life around this that has made us a pariah among nations with a tattered democracy and broken economy. This was the goal and the powerful that run this country laugh every time a middle class conservative loses his job and abandons his luxurious and heavily mortgaged home for mom and dad’s basement.
Political parties change. Until 1968, the Democrats combined labor unions and the KKK to give them power in the industrialized states along with the "outhouse belt." Nixon changed all that and the fear and hate vote came over to the Republicans. This let them build a coalition of big money and big stupid. Betting on stupid wins every time. McCain may be proving it even now.
Today’s Republican party has only one issue, the inherent fear of blacks. They have screwed veterans for 7 years with McCain having voted against vets with incredible consistency. The DAV lists him as 20% for veterans support. Our foreign policy has been a joke. Russia just kicked sand in our faces based on Bush/McCain policies that have isolated us diplomatically and left our military "toothless". This week the Russians even stole a bunch of our Humvees. All we can do is whine anymore.
So, while we are humiliated, what are the campaign issues? You know. Elect someone black and "they" will take all your money, move into your neighborhood and come after your "wemmin." Worse yet, Obama may send the police (white police) to arrest "whitey" and start payback by making us "white folks" pick cotton and wash windows. This is the McCain campaign and I think it is brilliant.
Colin Powell could have run for president. His wife is less "uppity" (and intelligent enough not to want to be first lady) and Powell used to be respected. However, when Secretary of State, Powell sat in front of the United Nations and got caught lying thru his teeth about our "undeniable proof" of WMD’s in Iraq. After that, Powell became a dead issue, a known liar and stooge.
Dozens of our top military leaders resigned and retired rather than follow Bush. Powell stayed on and got the Bush knife in the back. CIA chief, George Tenet stayed on and got the same knife and he isn’t even black. Is this proof that Bush and McCain are not racist or that they are simply lacking in moral fiber?
Even after hundreds of lies, some of the most outrageous since Hitler and Stalin, Condi Rice still has some reputation. Her skill at ducking responsibility for the idiocy around her is admirable. However, I have serious doubts anyone would vote for her for anything. With Jesse Jackson and Clarence Thomas the only other major black figures in American politics other than, perhaps Kwame Kilpatrick, Detroit mayor, Barak Obama is the only proper GOP/Klan target.
The idea that "white folks" shouldn’t be allowed to fear blacks is stupid. Black people look different and, as Rush, Ollie and the other people who say the things Bush wants said but can’t say, constantly remind us of, all black people are criminals, on welfare and inherently evil, even those who have given their lives defending us, who work as police, firemen, doctors, nurses, all of them. Proof is simple. Dumb is dumb. "Whitey" and "conservative" is just another word for Klan but without the sheet.
Am I serious? When examining how Republicans have betrayed American veterans for years but so many vets follow them anywhere, can we imagine anything more powerful than racism would make someone do themselves so much harm? If we can learn to love being afraid of over one billions Muslims, secretly hate Jews and blacks combined with our "immigration issues", more racist hatred against hispanics (many also stupid enough to vote for a party that wants to send them all "south" or to Iraq), I think America, at least "white America" can get behind John McCain. Let him run us into bankruptcy, start a nuclear war or close every veterans hospital or clinic.
Next time you meet one of those oriental, hispanic or black people who seem so nice and so "different", don’t be one bit embarassed about your mindless prejudice and fear. It is only weakness. Weakness is what makes American politics so interesting. How could we have destroyed the greatest country on Earth without crass stupidity?
