Let's go with 'content of character' next time

We have all seen the roving reporter man-on-the-street interviews. I’m sure we all have some friends, acquaintances, even family members and others who have uttered the painful statement. I don’t know about anyone else, but when I first heard people say that they voted for Barack Obama because he was black, or that it was “time” for a black president, my skin crawled.

I am well aware that that statement of mine will be isolated and made out to be “racist” by the dishonest media and the maniacally boneheaded Saul Alinsky gang over at the Huff-n-Puff Post and beyond, but the real horror is that the worst case of racism I have ever witnessed in my lifetime was the indecent choice en mass by millions of Americans who defiled the sacrifices and vision of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and spat on his grave when they actually admitted that they voted for this president based on the color of his skin instead of the content of his character.

Hmmm. Well Uncle Ted, we know the character make up of the hildebeast and moochelle and faux-ka-haunt-us. Now if we had a lady with character running, that would be acceptable. Sadly, the asshats are looking at anti-life, anti-gun, anti-sugar, glow-bull discombobulation type hander outer/give 'em whatever they want candidates. When there is still 48% who see nothing wrong with the current admin, you know we're in deep yogurt.

“Let’s go with ‘content of character’ next time”

Content of character or at least a sane American.

[SMARTY]

You could cry when you think of the MANY capable and competent black men in America who SHOULD have been nominated instead of this half-wit.

And I mean capable and competent black men on BOTH sides of the issues.

Black person-on-the-street: “You know I had to vote for the black man, I gots to stick with my peoples, knowhaImsayin.”

Oh thats cool!

White person-on-the-street: “I voted for Romney because he is white. You know I have to stick with my people”

RACIST! BURN HIM!

[Terry L Smith]

We HAD a viable ‘content of characeter’ candidate in 2008, although that candidate was lashed to an insane, decrepid, twisted-minded POW, who has always voted AGAINST veterans, who stuck his finger NOT in the wind, to see where he needs to put his nose, and was already, and has continued to be a major embarassment for the nation.

Federal spending: Up 101%. Unreal, and now this psychopath in the White house is asking for money for ILLEGALS! People who aren’t EVEN SUPPOSE TO BE HERE!!!

HMMM, lets see...

Shootings at schools = gun free zones
Shootings at army bases = gun free zones
Robberies at Target = gun free zone

Oh boy, these guns have a mind of their own. How do they get in?
And how many robberies or shootings occur at a gun show? How many robberies or shootings occur at a gun store? It should be in the thousands since there are so many mean guns there.

[TexasCajun]

Martin Luther King is so old school, old fool.

Today's kids are taught about entitlements and government subsidies.

'Content of Character' is replaced by a collective victim-hood.

Hard work, education, family is lost on the black urban youth where their so-called leaders of today tell them the can't be anything more then hood-rats.

[envisio]

Doh, I posted that to the wrong thread. Should have been posted to the Target Robberies thread.....

[rktman]

Maybe the bad guys simply missed the “No Firearms” stickers on the doors. Just sayin’.

[rktman]

LOL! Same reply still applies. Guess the lyin’king missed the “No Dumbasses” sticker on the windows in the WH.

Why a black president, or a woman president, instead of simply the best person for president?

Because the impulse to shape society was too strong to resist. The statist by his very nature regards the masses as chronically in need of his instruction and in no area of human relations do the masses require more instruction than on the issue of racism. The opportunity to shape America by the election of an African-American who could deliver an inspiring speech and who held all the right politically correct policy positions-especially on the Iraq war-was the perfect vehicle by which to finally bring America to salvation on the issue of race.

Many institutions are preoccupied with the need to shape lesser beings. We can think of academia and see how they run their campuses to achieve the latest flavor of social engineering which beguile them. But, as stated, no issue ever surpasses race for academics or for any other institution as the foremost cause celeb.

When it comes to elections the media have the power to shape the outcome and they certainly strove to do so in 2008 when by electing the first African-American as president of the United States they could not only educate America and bring it into the 21st century, but they could vicariously live again the great glory days of the media involvement in the American Civil Rights Movement.

The temptation was irresistible. By the election of 2012, the media and so much invested in Barack Obama that they simply continued running interference for him. Today, there is no scandal which truly cracks the wall of protection which this praetorian guard has erected around their Caesar.

Why a black president? They could not do otherwise.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

We are screwed. A spend thrift far leftist in the White House is the absolute last thing we need. Can you imagine if Hillary became next POTUS? When she was my cartpetbagging Senator here in New York, she voted YES to every single spending bill that came across her desk. It didn’t matter what it was, she would vote yes. Her in the White house would be like nuking the Hindenberg while it burns and falls, the US will be kaput.

“Because the impulse to shape society was too strong to resist.”

And it will be a progressive woman president next time for the same reason. I mean, guys have had 44 chances at that president thingy, and look how they messed it up.

The chance to make history with their vote is a power the low information voter understands. And the media will promote that understanding because “It’s a women’s turn.” It really is that simple to the simple minded.

God help us rise from the depths we have fallen.

Whenever someone says my criticism of Obama is "racist", I respond, "So you're arguing that he's always right because he's black? Talk about racist."

That usually shuts them up.

The winnowing down by the “content of character” criteria needs to start well in advance of the general election choice between the evil D and the useless R. It needs to start well before the primary season, when we get locked in to a breathless choice among a handful of notorious midgets (as opposed to well-known potential statesmen), all of whom think they are capable of running the country.

[rktman]

Sadly, the supposed conservative republicans would have done well to be fronting an actual conservative candidate the day after the 2nd go around for the lyin’ king. Nope. Too much posturing and BS for that to happen. If not careful, they’ll again snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Or is it the other way around.

About your handle/screen name. There used to be a Robin of Berkley on here from time to time..................

[Shery]

Absolutely! Content of character much more important that brilliance. You can have a really brilliant man/woman who is bankrupt morally, and do so much damage to the moral and fiscal fiber that it is almost impossible to overturn. We will never undo the damage done by this administration...or that of Clinton, who really set the bar for immoral behavior in a president. He was loved, but he lowered the standard by a long way. People did not appreciate that we had a morally good man in Bush. Had republicans held him in check when he got on the compassionate conservative trip, which was nothing better than democrat social policies bound up with ribbons, we might have seen a better outcome. But conservatives abandoned him instead of talking to him. I made a lot of angry comments at that time, but not one conservative actually attempted to get Bush to see it from a truly conservative perspective. What were they thinking? We’re paying the price now, in spades!
