Martin Luther King, Jr. once said that America is like a promissory note. Well, as far as I am concerned for the last 30-40 years we have been making payments on that note via things such as affirmative action. It is now time for the payments to stop because with the election of Obama to the White House that promissory note has now been cashed.
I find it interesting that no one, and I mean no one, in the main-stream media has even questioned why most black Americans voted for Obama for any reason other than skin color. This is simply ignorance. If white folk had voted for someone because of skin color (and certainly that has happened in the past) then it would correctly be called wrong. Yet, the news media has had nothing but an Obama-love fest orgy for the last couple of days. Can anyone say double standards? Racism is racism, no matter what the race.
While I find it is a good thing that Americans can elect a black person to be our president, I find it troubling that many Americans will elect ANY black person just to prove to themselves and others that they are not against the idea of a black person as president. This is a form of racism.
With such a radical thinker in the White House I fear that the US is going to be in a situation very much like the rock called the butterball shown in this picture, all we need is for someone to come along to give it a big push and it will go rolling right down that hill. God help us all!
As so many Democrats and others have said for the last 8 years - dissent is the greatest form of patriotism. Well, I plan to be a great patriot for the next four years!
