“People who cling to things like guns, religion and xenophobia are easy targets for politicians who want to use fear to accomplish their ends.”
There are no such people who “cling” to their values, they simply live them. It is an offensive stereotype. The religious people I know are wildly successful people. They ‘cling’ to nothing, although I did here on Catholic radio this week the phrase “The Pope is our Hope”. I know a gun owner and 2nd amendment supporters; she’s in her 60s and drives a Lexus. Granny packs heat. Folks dont own guns because they lost a mill job years ago – that’s moronic thinking.
Barack Hussein Obama was as insulting to small town America as a white person would be if he were surprised that a black person could be clean, wear a suit, and talk non-ghetto (cue Joe Biden).
Xenophobia is just a basher-term for people who oppose the horrible positions of voted-against-border-wall and wants-drivers-licenses-for-illegals Obama. Never mind that Obama is himself tapping into that supposed vein by bashing trade agreements that are good for the US. He and the Democrats are opposing the Columbia free trade agreement, whose #1 impact will be to lower tariffs on US exports.
We already have no tariffs on Columbian goods. It’s pure demagogic foolishness to oppose this deal, but the Democrats will do it.
There are people who cling to multi-culturalist racially divisive stereotyping of Typical White Persons ™, and such clingers tend to be assistant profs of Gender Studies at your community college. The shocker is not that such idiocies arent expressed, nor is it shocking that someone on a blog is actually clueless enough to buy into said phony stereotyping.
The shocker is that someone out-of-touch enough to share the bigoted stereotypes is attempting to be our President. Barack Obama, far from being a racial ‘healer’, is bringing racial divisiveness with him in many ways. The way he threw his own Grandmother under the bus to defend Rev Wright was … wrong.
