From last week’s issue of The Nation, the flagship publication of the Left:
The White House call for progressives to ignore these Democratic obstructionists is not much different from Lyndon Johnson telling Martin Luther King Jr. to halt civil rights demonstrations in a South ruled by segregationist Democrats. Change never comes from following such advice.
This comparison isn’t an accident. “Progressives” continually try and cast the push for socialized medicine as the new Civil Rights cause, as though the inability to get taxpayers to pay for one’s medical care was in any way comparable to Jim Crow and segregation.
Just look at that above image of health care socialization advocates. One of them even has a sign that says “Health Care is a Human Right.” It’s a sentiment to which I — and pretty much all conservatives — would nod in agreement. Medical Services are indeed a right. Go in to an emergency room and they legally cannot refuse to give you service which will save your life. And that’s the way it should be.

Our racist president sees everything through the prism of race, real and imagined.
Yeah so what’s new?
Back during the presidential campaign this ‘racist’ baloney was getting ramped up. I advocated that we call everything we don’t like racist so as to devalue its power as an insult. The left has taken up that burden on our behalf. Their incessant chorus of ‘racist, racist, racist’ is so overused now that everyone can see the game they are trying to play and is redounding to their detriment. The word will lose all power.
True. The race card is played out. Nobody cares anymore.
Their Only Weapon
A correspondent on Lawrence Auster’s site, commenting on republican Arkansas Governor Huckabee’s feeling that racism is fueling the anti-immigration sentiment, wrote:
“All he has to do is stand up there, give one inane comment after another and use the word that puts trembling in the hearts of the American people and shut them down. Racist.”
A cartoon I saw recently showed a Mexican-flag-waving illegal snarling at a white man, saying something like “Let me into your prosperous country, you damned racist xenophobe.” It captured perfectly the dynamic involved in the immigration debate: people who have no leverage other than guilt are using it to control us.
What are they going to do the day that white people stop running from that word, “racist”?
Sure I’m racist, just not as racist as Oblack and Angry Michelle or the Nation.
Pray for America
I ate breakfast this morning. I think that makes me a racist.
I am surprised that this Communist rag is still in print.
Liberal nuts have been using the race card to advance their wicked utopian Marxist policies for the better part of the last 40 years. They could care less about black people in this country. The commies only care about what delusioned and brainwashed blacks can give them which is power.
It does if you had bacon.
54% Say Passing No Healthcare Reform Better Than Passing Congressional Plan.
I think it is politically dangerous to call over half the nation racist.
Naah, eating bacon just means you’re intolerant. ;-)
