Why Barack Won
November 8th 2008 17:26
I know a lot of people might try to say, if a lot of people end up reading this, that this article makes me look racist. I grew up with a black brother, adopted when I was 18 months old and he was 6 weeks old. I have a black/Vietnamese sister that we adopted when I was five and she was 2 and a half. I judge people by the content of their character, and it was what I saw in Barack's character and his ultra-liberal policies that turned me to McCain, not the color of his skin. I would have vote for J. C. Watts or Condoleeza Rice or any of the other black conservatives that didn't spend the last 20 years in a CHURCH that preaches hate toward America and white. But read on.
Imagine if you will a white man mentored his entire teenage years by a communist party leader. This man then grows up and attends two very liberal colleges and works mobilizing people in work for a corrupt get out the vote organization. Upon entering his professional life, an unrepentant domestic terrorist picks him to distribute money to groups focused on radicalizing schools.
For twenty years this white man sits in a church where hate is preached against America and other, just for arguments sake, white people. He serves more with the unrepentant terrorist, launches a political career there and blurbs his book.
As part of a 10 year career in a state senate and 2 years in the US Senate this WHITE man only attaches his name to legislation and never actually crafts anything major. The things he attaches himself to in the US Senate are about as controversial as a resolution that “Puppies Are Cute.”
This white man comes out in speeches and says that American troops currently serving are “only air raiding villages and killing civilians.” This white man comes out and tells Planned Parenthood that they have his complete support for unlimited, any week in the pregnancy, federally funded abortions on demand nationwide. This white man tells a San Francisco panel that we need a judiciary that is for redistributing the wealth, but he wants to do it legislatively.
This white man’s only executive experience is running a small senate office and distributing money for the terrorist.
Now, despite all of this, this white man is a terrific speaker that can make people in a crowd sway. He can create glassy eyed audiences with his cadence and words.
This white man wouldn’t have beat Hillary Clinton in the primary with a stick in a back room! He would not have even become the candidate.
Race was the number one determining factor in this election. Yes, there were other important factors. Many people like socialism. There are many Gloria Steinem liberals that want unfettered, unlimited, federally funded abortion. There are many people that believe that no matter how hard they worked for it, rich people don’t deserve to keep what they make.
That’s all true. My point is that race was the overwhelming factor.
Major media ran with the assertion that bringing up socialism was a code word for black, even though socialism is a white European invention and concept.
Rev. Wright was off-limits to McCain because he didn’t want to be called a racist.
Stories abound of children that wore McCain shirts or buttons to school being sent home in tears by classmates bombarding them with calls of racist.
Time after time charges against Barack’s POLICIES were dismissed as racist, racially motivated or bigoted.
I’ve spoken to a lot of people who voted for Barack since the election. They didn’t know about his redistribution speech. They didn’t know he said his cap and trade plan would bankrupt the coal industry and cause “skyrocketing electricity prices.” They didn’t care about William Ayers and Jeremiah Wright.
They just wanted to make history. It wasn’t about issues, character, experience or judgment. It was about electing a black man president.
Even the media in the end announced they knew nothing about Obama. Check out the transcript of Charlie Rose and Tom Brokaw talking about how little we know about Barack on OCTOBER 31, 2008.
We elected the most liberal, most radical, most inexperienced and least transparent candidate in American history, for two reasons:
1) He was black (90% of the reason)
2) He was not a Republican (“George Bush is at fault for everything.”)
I know the country isn’t as left as Obama. In California, 61% of the population voted for Barack Obama and 52% of Californians voted to amend their constitution to ban gay marriage and teaching it as a lifestyle in schools! Barack won Florida with a much smaller margin but the gay marriage constitutional amendment passed easily. We’re a center-right country. In California, 96 out of a hundred black people voted for Obama. 7 out of 10 blacks vote FOR Proposition 8 and against gay marriage.
Yes, Barack ran a great campaign, though 65 million dollars of what he raised came from undocumented sources, and could have come from people violating the law by contributing over the limit and from illegal overseas sources.
But he stayed on message, became good at dismissing legitimate issues with a sarcastic comment. He stayed calm, appeared “presidential,” and behaved as if he will be a stead rudder during an economic crisis caused by Democrats with “affordable housing.”
No president has been more inappropriately blamed for our economic situation than President Bush. His number one mistake was not being louder from his bully pulpit in the 23 times since 2001 that he warned about the coming housing bubble and what it would do to our economy. In that way he allowed the democrats to demagogue and filibuster us into this recession.
No tax and spend policies could be much worse than Obama’s for bringing us out of it. Oprah’s staff is in for a big shock when she lays some of them off to keep some of her billions that she makes every year. Martha Stewart was asked what she would do when her taxes went up on her and her company. She waffled (pun intended) and wouldn’t say, but she better not lay people off. She better “make sacrifices,” as Barack said during his speech (did you notice that was when the crowd barely responded to him).
John McCain ran a horrible campaign. He didn’t mention in any of his ads that in the last eight years, 7 million jobs have been created. His best decision was picking Sarah Palin as VP, his worst was how he let his staff handle and prepare her. McCain was always extremely gracious, to a fault, sometimes sounding like he was campaigning for Barack. How in the world did his campaign staff miss the statements about bankrupting the coal industry and sending electricity prices skyrocketing. There was much more but that's for a later blog posting.
Barack is my president now, and per Romans 13 I will RESPECT the leaders God has put in authority over me. Good or bad, God puts them there for their time, whether to help the country prosper or to show it how much it has strayed, but either way as a Christian I must respect the position.
I will speak out against killing free speech with the Fairness Doctrine. I will speak out against the forced unionization of America with the EmployeeFree Forced Choice Act. I will oppose the “Freedom Of Choice Act,” which would make partial birth abortion and other late term abortion legal again and provide federal funding for abortion.
If Barack does succeed in getting his “Civilian defense force just as strong and well-funded as the military,” at that point he may have gone too far. Venezuela did the same thing and recently Chavez purchased AK-47’s from Russia to equip these ideological enforcers.
I will pray the filibusters in the Senate keep the radical things from even making it to Barack’s desk, but I have a feeling he will use the bully pulpit much better than Bush. President Bush was not the most eloquent speaker, to put it mildly, and the liberal media was ferocious in criticizing every little slip of the tongue. How many of you heard about Barack saying he had been to “57 states with one more to go but probably wouldn’t get to Alaska or Hawaii”?
I will pray that Barack doesn’t so offend and disillusion center-right America so bad that he taints all future black candidates. If he does not govern from the center, in a country so opposed to gay marriage (and California is the second most liberal state in the country, thus the 11 Billion dollar shortfall) and with 80% opposition to socialism, and 80% opposition to partial-birth abortion, he will go down as the worst president since Herbert Hoover.
I will pray that if Barack does turn out to be as bad a president as I believe he will be, whether I respect the position or not, people will say it was the content of his character that caused it, not the color of his skin.
I have a black brother and a black/Vietnamese sister. My brother voted for McCain, my sister I think I had convinced to vote McCain. I looked at Barack’s character, not his skin, in how I voted, and so did my brother. My other brothers and my other sister, looked at history. The media wanted to be a part of making history. They could have done that by being the McCain/Palin campaign extension instead of part of Barack’s. Every independent study shows them in the tank for Barack.
Socialism has failed everywhere it has been implemented. Europe’s economy runs much, much slower than ours and they are not even 100% socialist.
The only country in Europe to turn their economy around the last 10 years is Ireland, which disposed of much of socialism and set their corporate tax rate to 11% flat.
Conservative ideals and free markets work. Liberal policies kill economies.
Get ready for the worst recession since Jimmy Carter’s 12% inflation, 12% unemployment and 21% interest rates.
That’s the other half of the history that will be told. Obama will go down as our first black president, and the first president in 60 years to take us to double digit in all those categories. He will do what Joe Biden would do as President. It's why Joe Biden won less votes in the primaries than Sarah Palin won becoming mayor of Wasilla. I just sincerely pray people blame his policies and judgment, not the color of his skin.
I hope I can’t come back in a year and say “I told you so.” I hope in January 2013 we are swearing in President Sarah Palin.
