So I’m a racist for disagreeing with Obama?
The New Voice ^ | 18 April 2010 | Herman Cain

Posted on 04/23/2010 7:46:41 AM PDT by K-oneTexas

When someone calls me a derogatory name such as “Uncle Tom” or “sellout” I don’t even flinch, because it puts their ignorance and lack of intelligence on display. But when someone accuses me or others of being a racist because we disagree with President Obama, I get really, really, really angry.

I couldn’t care less that they call me a racist. But I care a whole lot that they try to intimidate me into not disagreeing with President Obama because he is African-American. To suggest we cannot disagree with our elected leaders for whatever reason is to suggest that we are a nation to be governed by tyranny.

My fuse was lit on this subject by a caller to my radio show last week. It was near the end of the show and I almost made it without having to provide some gift-wrapped explanation to a liberal about her illogical and ridiculous accusation. My radio show producer describes this gift-wrapping technique as delivering a part of one’s anatomy to them on a platter.

Her first question was why am I against health care? I am a survivor of Stage IV cancer because God said “not yet”, and because America has the best health care in the world. I pointed out to her that we do not have a health care crisis in America. We have a health care cost crisis. ObamaCare makes the real crisis worse.

Her second intellectually challenged question was why do I associate with those tea party people, who are the same ones that used to hang black people 100 years ago? I resisted the urge to point out that tea party attendees were not alive one hundred years ago and that most of the centenarians were probably at home watching the tea parties on TV.

Here’s what I did say: I associate with tea party people because I share their passionate disagreement with the escalation of big government, legislation and taxation without members of Congress reading the bills, and an arrogant disregard for the voice of the majority of Americans by President Obama and the Democrats. The caller interpreted those disagreements as Obama bashing.

At that point I knew this was not going to be a logical exchange of perspectives.

This was a typical liberal who wanted to use race to defend President Obama’s unworkable health care legislation, and his other failed ideas. Liberals can’t use facts and logic because the facts do not support the passage of ObamaCare, or other failed ideas such as Cash for Clunkers or the manufactured concept of counting “saved jobs”.

People who use race and illogical comparisons to segregation and slavery to defend President Obama are the real racists. They resort to this empty logic when they are desperate to say something to refute the facts even if it does not make sense. It is also an attempt to silence and intimidate people, especially white people. According to their empty logic, that makes me a black racist against black people, in addition to an “Uncle Tom” and a “sellout”.

In the vernacular of my grandfather “I does not care!”

Millions of black Americans and I went to school on the sacrifices of our parents and grandparents to learn how to think for ourselves. We succeeded! All Americans are beneficiaries of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the significant progress this country has made towards equal opportunity. And we are suppose to just shut up because President Obama is dark-skinned? I don’t think so!

Tyranny is the suppression of disagreement, and the control of people’s lives through legislative and regulatory abuse of power. That’s what the “tea party people” are passionately against, and I will continue to echo those views as loudly and often as I can.

Rational American Citizens Interested in Saving This country are not the racists. We are the patriots.

They’ve made the term racist completely meaningless.

The real racists are those in favor of race-based quotas and set asides and handouts, like the $1 billion plus going to ‘black farmers’ in reparations.

Why does no one seem to remember that Obama is one-half white? So maybe when I disagree with his policies and socialist takeover of our country, I am speaking out agains the white half of him.

I don’t hate him because he’s black, I hate him because he’s red.

Gee, I wonder if this is the “conversation on race” that eric holder accused us of dodging? What he and his ‘baiter-buddies misjudged is that there are damn few of us afraid to have the conversation.

There are many of them afraid of the outcome however...

So we are racist, if we have the TEAParty Sticker on the car. What about One Big Ass Mistake America? How About Buck Ofama? Gee I must have been a racist when I had Nope 08 and NoObama in 2008. Maybe that is why I get the middle finger extended to me on a regular basis.

what a joy, now I am a racist in addition to be a Right Wing Extremist. What else will I be called next? I get called Honey and Dear too.

Double dittos to you!

What I’d like to know is just what are the politicians doing with the tax monies they collect? Jails are closing across the country, states are not paying their bills on a timely basis, politicians are living higher and higher on the hog.

Then there’s the fraud that seems to be a plague on the taxpayers. It’s always lurking in the shadows, it seems, when new bills need passing and the taxpayers ask, “Where are you going to get the money?” to which the politicians reply, “Well, first thing we’re going to do is clean up the medicare/welfare/scofflaw frauds.

Well, if there’s so much fraud out there right now, don’t we have enough bureaucrats to get out there and find the fraud?

First thing I think they ought to do — not that anybody is asking me for my opinion — is to tally up a list to make sure all government employees, and that includes the politicians (because they’re our employees) to make sure they are paying their income taxes. All their taxes. Federal, state and local taxes. That seems to be the favorite fraud perpetuated on us, the taxpayers.

“So I’m racist for disagreeing with Obama?”

That’s it in a nutshell.....

Yeah we’re all racists because we disagree with Uh-bama, but all those people that voted for him solely because he looks black are not! What a freaking double standard that is!!

I agree. With a tax cheat running the Treasury and one on the Ways & Means, etc .... I don’t think that is going to happen.

I agree. Joe Biden’s quote is Democrat Policy.

Democrat Joe Biden: “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” he said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”

Never allow anyone to get away with projecting their racism as they push their “storybook man” and his aganda.

Democrats: Racists.

Racist and bigot. We got our first taste of this when we took on a “gay video” indoctrination in our school system years back. We were called bigots, then racists, then right wing extremists and finally a small group of Christian trouble makers. However, after a while people figured out what was going on and that’s when the commies self destructed. When they figured out people were not buying into this they started writing letters to the editor stating “Just who is the professional? The teacher is and parents should butt out...”
Oh boy, that was the beginning of their demise. They unraveled quickly as it got ugly. Our account was compromised, we got hate mail, hate email. Eventually the video was removed... these people are every where and they play dirty but people ain’t buying it!

To liberals the discussion proceeds as follows:
LIBERAL: I believe in A.
CONSERVATIVE: I disagree, and I believe in B.
LIBERAL: You are wrong and you are (select one) a Racist, a Sexist, a Homophobe. Furthermore, your opinion should NEVER be expressed because its HATE SPEECH.

During the presidential primaries most of the posters at DU, KOS etc were either (1) Racists (Hillary Supporters) or (2) Sexists (Obama Supporters) and their discussions more or less followed the template I have described.
I must say it was fun to witness these people of “compassion” at their finest! ;-)

Wonder where that billion dollars will go since there are pitifully few black farmers left in America. Once every black man got 40 acres and a mule and they built those farms into a decent living. In the 30s they all left the land and went to Detroit. (shameless generalizing)
