They said despicable things about the Obamas but say they’re not racists. Yes, they are
Sacramento Bee ^ | November 27, 2016 | Roger Guffey

Psychologists have long recognized rationalization as a defense mechanism that people use to excuse unacceptable or offensive behaviors by offering some pseudo-logical reasoning or self-serving explanations.

The Sacramento Bee S has been pumping out some real winners of late. /s

Is it racist to address something a White Person has done, that is the action of a traitor?

Then it is not racist to address something a Black Person has done, that is the action of a traitor?

The Sacramento Bee S has the rational abilities of a 13 year old who tells mom all the other kids in class “have one”, or “get to do it.”

This is childish reasoning. It’s the sort of thing that allows a person to vote for an obvious criminal, when people with comment sense can’t.

A Republican candidate here in Kentucky won a legislative seat, even though he had posted images of the Obama family as a band of monkeys, but he says he is not a racist.

Yes, you are.

Lying hypocrite.

Any time liberals don’t have an intellectual argument (which is most of the time) they yell racism, sexism, homophobia etc. I was against Obama from the beginning because he was not qualified (which he has proven over the last eight years), was anti-American, a racist, and a socialist. I was not against him because he is black. But that is not a concept the Democrats can or will comprehend.

One of my favorite Abraham Lincoln stories relates his encounter with an elitist lawyer who, during a trial, dismissed him as a rustic bumpkin. Lincoln posed him a simple riddle. “If we call a tail a leg, how many legs does a horse have?’ The smug lawyer replied, “Five.” Lincoln corrected him. “No, he still has four legs, because calling a tail a leg does not make it one.”

People are free to engage in self-delusion if they wish, but if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and swims like a duck, it is a duck, and these comments are racist.

Does that comment about self-delusion and honest facts apply to farcical notions of gender identity and transexuals as well?

Professor Guffey (PhD at Bluegrass Community and Technical College, Lexington, KY - Math Dept.) appears to dispense political opinion with his math instruction. A student comment on the "ratemyprofessor" web site said this; "if you want to hear liberal talking points take this idiot." Hmmm, I generally consider math and the hard sciences apart from political opinion, but apparently not this "Piled higher and Deeper" gent!

Just a hint, unless this gentleman (assumption) can read minds, he is assuming facts not in evidence. It is a matter of opinion as to what is despicable when talking about President Obama so it is the observer who is attaching a value to such statements. This is subject to the very first line of his attack, that he may be guilty of the projection he ascribes to the statements he refers to. Is it despicable for me to say that President Obama has increased the US National Debt by $10Billion and not had a single fiscal quarter of 3% growth, a new record of failure? Am I thus a racist? Only by his projection!

For your artichoke:

Cook in water with a bit of olive oil and vinegar.
Make your sauce with horse radish sauce and light sour cream, add pinch of dill and lemon pepper.

Yum!

It’s the oyster of vegetables, and well worth the fuss.
Cook in a veggy steamer over boiling water for about 30 minutes. When your knife can easily pierce the bottom or a leaf comes out easily it is done. Times vary. Don’t microwave.
Yes, you peel off a leaf or two or three, dip it in butter or mayo, and scrape the meat of with your teeth. When you’ve eaten those, cut the bottom off and scrape the “hair” off with a really sharp knife. That’s called the heart. Dip the heart and eat. Do not try to put any leaves down the sink disposal.
I’m a mayo person myself, but butter is fine, too, sweet unsalted.
The only bummer is they’re expensive, and it’s hard to find a nice plump one.

Progressive Battle Plan:

1.) Redistribute wealth from productive people to non-productive people in return for their votes.

2.) If anyone disagrees, call them Racist.

3.) If they still disagree, call them Racist LOUDER.

4.) If they vote for anyone who defies you, call them Racist LOUDER YET.

5.) If they still carry in, call them Racist OVER AND OVER, LOUDER AND FASTER AND LOUDER AND FASTER!!!!

6.) Call them Racists while jumping up and down!!

7.) Call them Racist and THROW THINGS!! (etc)

a cultureist describing actions of a racist is not himself a racist

Logic like, Obummer can't be a racist because he is black, half black.

Hahahahaha...love it. You pose a question like that to liberals, they just duck and walk faster as if they never heard it.

But not before calling you a fascist, racist, homophobe.
