Worth contemplating: that ugly, victi-crat, entitlement-suckled race divide festering within the Democrat party (and that's really where it is located) will hurt Democrats. IF OBAMA WON, he would be weak and divisive. Blacks who chose to respond by boycotting the Democrat party -- would lose elections to Republicans.
I'm not nearly so scared of Obama as most folks. In that, I think the article is right on. Hey, remember -- this blind panic fear response set the tone for Republican primary candidates that could "beat Hillary" because Hillary "had this thing sewn up." That assumption was based on blind fear and proved to be illusion. Obama's "popularity" is also illusion.
You watch. Democrats are going to elect McCain.
The most ironic thing is that the conservative pundits I admire most -- the ones who put it on the line with regard to conservative values and priorities -- are disproportionately Dark of Hue. Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Larry Elder (and Larry Elder's father, a very wise and principled individual) -- three out of a scant half-dozen of "conservative" pundits I regard as carrying MY VOICE for the most part with regard to what conservatism is, are black.
Conservatism is about respect and responsibility. That's all there is to it.
Good post.
My theory is that if Obama is elected he will get the most heat from OTHER BLACKS,who will castigate him for being an Uncle Tom and giving way too many appointments to whites,Jews and Latinos.
He must be very cautious not to appear”too black”.Unlike the guilt ridden Clinton Gang,he will not go hog wild with the affirmative action program because a great uncle used the N word at a Thanksgiving dinner back in 1963.
I think you’re on to something.
Darned good post!
