"Would black people riot if Sen. Barack Obama didn't win the election?" That was the question a white man in Memphis recently asked a racial reconciliation group with which I am involved."

We won’t riot, but many of us will think it an obligation to do whatever we can to destroy him and frustrate his efforts.

Just like the Democrats have done with President Bush.

They did it to an honorable man, so I will certainly have no problem doing it to a dishonest, autocratic, anti-American socialist.

Will angry white people riot if Barack Obama wins the election?

Yeah! I have my eye on a wedge of Tobermory Cheddar and a rasher of Ayrshire Back Bacon down at the Whole Foods Market in White Flint. I say take back the gourmet grocery stores! Power to the people man!

“When was the last time white people rioted?”

The Boston Tea Party?

I’m in your camp. And I am prepared. I fear for our cities, I have for some time. Washington D.C., New York and my closest one, Philadelphia. I fear it will get ugly either way. I hope the Phillies win and we can at least have one more happy celebration with a minimum of trouble before all Hell breaks loose on 11/5.

This may sound like a ignorant question but do you think that there will be any problems in Atlanta?

The Left is deluded and thinks this is all about skin color.

The left is not deluded, It is all about race, but it is only about race for them. These people can not see beyond the color of Obamas skin.

They refuse to acknowledge that is policies are socialist, that his associations and alliances are extreme in nature.

When some one of Colin Powells supposed intelligence supports a candidate that is the diametric opposite of everything he has spent his career defending it is about race.

Did you know that “Marxist” is now a “race”?

Soon there will be no “safe” words left.

We’ll all just grunt.

I doubt white people will even think about rioting.

No, we are too busy clinging to our guns and religion.

“Will White People Riot?”

Yes, happens every year the day after Thanksgiving at local shopping malls.

I have my credit card handy, want to start a riot? ;-)

You are correct. There are too many good, Christian, black folks in this country to make a blanket statement like that. My best neighbors are an interracial couple. We don’t talk politics, but I’m sure they will be voting Obama and I KNOW FOR CERTAIN they would condemn any rioting.

In contradistinction using that broad standard, the right also has leaders - property owners, investers, the military, veterans who killed fascists and communists, productive tax-paying citizens, sheriffs, small business, hunters, gun owners. They, too, have a common aim - the preservation of freedom and individual rights.

I will put it this way. I saw the city of Alpharetta and who knows what other divisions training in full SWAT gear the other day. I have never seen that in 15 years living here.

White riot - I wanna riot
White riot - a riot of my own
White riot - I wanna riot
White riot - a riot of my own

Black man gotta lot a problems
But they don’t mind throwing a brick
White people go to school
Where they teach you how to be thick

An’ everybody’s doing
Just what they’re told to
An’ nobody wants
To go to jail!

White riot - I wanna riot
White riot - a riot of my own
White riot - I wanna riot
White riot - a riot of my own
All the power’s in the hands
Of people rich enough to buy it

While we walk the street
Too chicken to even try it

Everybody’s doing
Just what they’re told to
Nobody wants
To go to jail!

White riot - I wanna riot
White riot - a riot of my own
White riot - I wanna riot
White riot - a riot of my own

Are you taking over
or are you taking orders?
Are you going backwards
Or are you going forwards?

White riot - I wanna riot
White riot - a riot of my own
White riot - I wanna riot
White riot - a riot of my own

“...What I WILL have - at minimum - is a low-grade, smoldering resentment of everyone who willingly worked for the travesty of a Barack Hussein Obama presidency...”

Agreed. I will not be able to forget the ignorant, the uninformed and the turncoats. My money will become my weapon. I will be there for my family and close friends but my days of volunteering, contributions or charity work will come to an end. Let the socialists take care of it.

Sounds like a plan to me. I’m tired of the majority being silent all of the time. Look what it has gotten us. It’s time to be heard.

They shouldn't and they won't but they should lock 'n load and stay vigilant.
