You've brought up a wrinkle that not many are talking about. Thank you!
All we tend to hear is 'racism' in the context of whites perhaps being unwilling to vote for a black for President. Not only do I not believe that assertion (provided the black candidate is qualified), but I believe it is being employed as a smokescreen to disguise the real racism that is eating away like a cancer in this election.
Barack Obama rubs elbows and breaks bread with all kinds of people who have no use for the genuine foundations upon which our republic was built. Many of them despise the vision of our Founders.
His friends and associates run the gamut from black power advocates who believe that America deserved the events of 9/11 to conspirators who played a role in the bombing of the Capitol and the Pentagon back in the 70s to far left elitists who believe in Marxist doctrine, despise individualism, and consider it their calling to dictate to the rest of us how we should live.
I heard Obama last night, attempting to appear magnanimous, stating that he does not believe that race will play a part in this election. He said (almost verbatim, as I can recall it), If I lose, it will be because I failed to get my message out.
Why is it that racism, to such narrow-minded, agenda-driven men, is only defined in terms of white-against-black?
Was it not a form of racism when ninety percent of black voters voted for a fellow black in the recent Pennsylvania democrat primary?
As for the senators belief that, if he loses, it will be the result of his not getting his message out I would prefer to believe that, if he wins, it will be the result of his message being so cleverly disguised so as to appeal to a sufficiently large number of useful idiots to put an inexperienced, anti-American, globalist agenda-driven, Marxist, black power advocate in the White House.
after which we can all expect to experience many nightmares, perhaps the three most devastating of which will be:
(2) racism taking on an entirely new dimension, as accepted political rhetoric, academic studies, and media attention begin to focus in an historically unprecedented way on the sins of the white man and the deservedness of the black man,
(3) individual and corporate success being stifled by a new dedication to Marxist/socialist doctrine, and capitalist foundations being gradually eroded by collective action and collective organizations.
Obamas rise to prominence illustrates the ignorance of so much of the electorate. I refuse to believe that he has become a presidential front-runner because those who support him agree with his ideology. America hasnt fallen so far that nearly half of the electorate is willing to passionately support black liberation theology, the globalist agenda, and Marxist doctrine.
Our population is changing dramatically, what with the dumbing down of each future generation by the left-leaning nature of what is taught in the public schools, and the large influx of illegal immigrants who dont care to know our history and bear little or no allegiance to our founding ideas. But, despite those two terribly negative influences on our populations allegiance to our republic's foundations, I cannot believe that we have reached a point where so many of the electorate actually share, or support, Barack Obamas ideology.
If that is not the case, the only other viable explanation for his popularity is that the huge majority of his supporters have no clue about what lies beneath the surface of this dangerous man. Which provides even more compelling evidence that the consistent Get out the vote! campaigns actually serve something of a negative purpose. Those who walk into the voting booth completely unaware of the ideology of those for whom they vote would do our republic a favor by staying home.
