Negligible Distinction

Posted by streetsweeper on Monday, April 07, 2008 11:19:46 PM
"Any distinction between good and bad whites held negligible meaning."
--Barack Obama, "Dreams from My Father"

Allow me to rephrase that:
Any distinction between good and bad blacks held negligible meaning.

Now allow me to expand:
It didn't matter if the person in question was a militant black racist bent on the destruction of a society that had always accommodated him or a middle-class black accountant, with a wife and two kids, trying to make a decent living and trying to live a decent life. The distinction between them was negligible.

This is the candidate of change and hope?

About the War

Posted by streetsweeper on Sunday, April 06, 2008 4:00:07 PM
Here's a question worthy of every politician/politically-minded person that supports withdrawal from Iraq: do you want to win the war against terrorism? If they answer yes, then they have to justify their support for withdrawal (and most likely, the gist of their argument will run no deeper than "Bush lied," "it was an illegal war," "there were no WMDs" or other BS). If they answer no, you have to wonder why.

God What America?

Posted by streetsweeper on Sunday, April 06, 2008 1:51:10 PM
Here are a couple of questions to ponder about Rev. Wright's lunacy:
  1. Should God damn an America where a black man can run for president?
  2. Should God damn an America where a black man is president?
  3. If so, would the America that Wright wants never be able to actually have a black man run for/be president?
All kinds of people come up with justification for Rev. Wright's rhetoric, presumably to steer him far away from Obama. Some people even find truth or a grain of it in Wright's speeches. Remember that it's these people who are also supposedly for "change," "hope," "unity," and other high-minded concepts. Another thing comes to mind: if "God damn America" presumably refers to all the United States of America, isn't Wright also damning himself, his followers, and Obama?

How does "God Damn Barack Obama" sound?
