Right now, from what I can see, we're in a banana republic where the law is subjugated to the political left all because a black man is in the white house and no one wants to have the word "Racist" thrown at them.
Curiously, you don't even have to allude to race in any way to be accused of racism. Any opposition to Obama's policies whatsoever will get you charged. On Facebook I have an aquaintance from another venue that is so rabidly leftist and illogical, that this was a recent exchange:
Me to another dude: "You are the problem. Forcing people to buy a product is nowhere to be found in the Constitution. Car insurance, I can understand, since you are using state-owned roads -- but you do not have to buy car insurance. You can t...ake a bus, or ask friends, or bike, or walk. This health-care mandate is not avoidable, unless you stop breathing. Your vision for what is right and proper, not to mention Constitutional, is more readily accepted in Cuba, or the former Soviet Union."
Rapid Vapid Leftist: "Having big business (corporate america) control the government and policy is Fascism...you people are picking scabs on a f-ing paper cut with all this re: healthcare...get a grip. You keep focusing on minor bullshit while the right moves in for the kill...geeze. And, as much as I will get grief from those affected...you don't like Obama because he is BLACK and you don't have the integrity to admit it!"
Me to Rabid Vapid Leftist: name omitted, you are the first person on this thread to mention anyone's race.
So, WHO is REALLY hung up about racial issues?
I de-friended you for a reason; looks like it was a good call."
