President Obama’s most ardent suppporters are African-Americans (AA’s), who happen to be as racist, if not more so than the rest of the population.

I am Hispanic, married to an AA, and I can tell you that I have never in my life (I’m in my early fifty’s) dealt with people that are as racist as my in-laws. My father-in-law told me through tears how he never imagined that in his lifetime, that he would ever have the opportunity to vote for a black man. He didn’t, and still doesn’t care that Obama is the most unqualified person to ever hold this office. What counts is that he is black, and that he will do anything and everything in his power to take from the rich and give to AA’s, regardless of what that will do to the country.

I personally believe that it is Michelle, with her hatred of whites, who is running this country. My big fear is that if Obama and Congress go down the path of retroactively taxing the bonuses given out by AIG, they may then turn their attention to those making less than $250,000 when they realize that those taxes don’t bring in the revenue they projected. However, I am at a loss in thinking of what can be done to reverse the course that this country is on, with the exception of waiting until 2010 to vote out the Dems in power.

I will continue to read your posts, and the comments of other conservatives in the hope that something can be done.

There have been several documentaries about cults… about Jonestown and the murder of Congressman Ryan and the mass suicide of almost 1,000 people in 1978 under the direct orders of Jim Jones. His followers called him Father and God and to them he was the messiah come to lead them to the Promised Land. He led them all right… to their deaths!

MSNBC also ran a documentary last November called “Witness to Jonestown”. See it if you can… a sobering account of how so many people can be taken in by a charismatic leader. One of the survivors, Tim Carter, Viet Nam vet and member of the Jonestown community said, “I’d been playing Peace and Love and woke up to find the leader was a murderer.” When asked by a reporter what took him so long to “wake up” he said that he couldn’t… didn’t want to believe that everything he had believed, pinned his hopes on – paradise on earth – was all a lie.” It was only at the very end, when people were dying, that he couldn’t deny the truth any longer.

Remember Jonestown!

His personal ambition seems to be to limit that of others. As VDH implies, his economic policies have targeted for extinction the goal directed ambitious upper middle class. By applying punitive tax measures to them in order to fund government handouts to society’s slackers, he apparently wishes to bury for good the can-do spirit that leads to upwardly mobility in America. Oh well, our society was never a true meritocracy. Just the closest thing to it in the last 2500 years.

Ever the idealist himself –when it comes to remaking America — Obama wishes to kill the influence of idealism on how Americans perceive themselves. We will no longer be a force for good in the world, as exemplified by the fact that we will no longer be a force at all. Too difficult to sort out the good guys from the bad guys, so why bother. In fact, better to focus on how bad we’ve behaved ourselves in the past 8 years. (N.B.: This mea culpa ought to be sufficient consolation to you really “bad guys” out there, whoever you are, to leave us alone until Obama gets re-elected). Pragmatically speaking, American idealism is what Obama says it is.

Hopenchange for the future means nopenchange for the past. No historical ties that bind. No cultural affinity with our cousins across the pond. No shared glory for the One who walks on water. Thus, the Mau-Mauing of Gordon Brown, Prime Minister of…uh, one of those 190 countries at the UN. So, forget the joint press conference. Obama might trip over his English again in public. Change we can believe in? Not even a dirt poor Third World ex-colony of Britain would treat the UK PM so contemptuously. In fact, not even the Irish would.

Fifty days to go until the presidential honeymoon period is over. Thank God. Then we can really unload on Obama and his Administration.

There isn’t much else they can be. The Dems have all the cards – they hold the White House and with only a couple of RINOs a filibuster-proof majority in Congress. Unfortunately there is little to do except wait for BO to screw it up and hope that some of the people who voted for him come to their senses. I only hope it isn’t already too late by then.
