Eric Holder was correct, I am a coward

Posted on 02/21/2009 8:11:11 AM PST by jla

I am not bold at all.
Yesterday I woke up with the intention of stopping by the bank after work and making my monthly mortgage payment. Then I had an inspirational idea - how about if I joined ACORN then demanded their help in repulsing the evil bankers? Maybe I couldn't achieve the highest noble goal of ACORN members, (getting or keeping a home at the expense of working Americans), but I just may be able to shakedown coax the evil bankers into lessening my mortgage rate, (never mind that I signed on the dotted line and agreed to pay it) or even slashing the total principle on the loan to reflect a fair and equitable amount.

But in the end, I turned yellow, my spine was like rubber as I pulled into the drive-thru, grabbed the carrier and inserted my payment coupon and check.
So, besides purchasing a home I could afford, (I know, I know, stupid me!), I cannot muster the courage to refuse to make payments on it.

As a form of self-atonement, I think I will go stand in front of our town's local ACORN office, wearing a sign that reads: I Make My Monthly House Payments and let the jeering and laughter commence upon me.

What he said was that we are cowards when it comes to race relations. I thought you were going to say that you thought about going out and taking a public stand against racial preferences, but you chickened out.

This home mortgage default issue is about race relations. Nothing more, nothing less.
Aside that, wouldn't you agree it brilliant if Steve Forbes became a very close adviser to Gov/President hopeful Sarah Palin?

In this case the meaning of coward is not to be afraid but to avoid debate, and play thier game. The outcome of a debate will lead to a disagreement and you being labled a racist and I for one am not a racist I am a realist, one who knows who the racist are and the pc atmosphere they, the white liberal helpers have helped to create.
