George Will: The Obama Administration’s Constant Claims of Racism Are Becoming a Joke
Breitbart.com ^ | 13 Apr 2014

Posted on 04/13/2014 1:05:40 PM PDT by Hotlanta Mike

On "Fox News Sunday," Washington Post columnist George Will criticized Attorney General Eric Holder who claim racism is behind his political adversaries' attacks:

“Liberalism has a kind of Tourette Syndrome these days," Will said. "It's constantly saying the words racism and racist. There’s an old saying, 'If you have the law on your side, argue the law. If you have the facts on your side, argue the facts. If you have neither, pound the table.' This is pounding the table. There’s a kind of intellectual poverty now. Liberalism hasn’t had a new idea since the 1960s, except Obamacare, and the country doesn’t like it."

"Foreign policy is a shambles from Russia to Iran to Syria to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict," he added. "And, the recovery is unprecedentedly bad. So, what do you do? You say anyone who criticizes us is a racist. It’s become a joke among young people. You go to a campus where this kind of political correctness reigns and some young person says, ‘It looks like it’s going to rain.’ And, the person next to him looks and says, ‘You’re a racist.’ It’s so inappropriate. The constant invocation of this that it is becoming a national mirth."

Believe me, Sherman would have burned it all anyway.

Don’t imagine States have sovereign power against the Fed.

Maybe not the best analogy. At the end of the story there was a real wolf.

Oh, there's a wolf, alright, and he lives in the the white house.

He's more like the wolf in Little Red Ridin' (in the) Hood, though.

My what big ears he has...

It is funny, I don’t even talk about it anymore, Obama’s failures are too obvious to ignore and there just comes a point where you just look at them who supported that nutcase and giggle.

After-all somebody has to laugh even as Rome burns down around us because of their stupidity.

At least the nonsensical claim of racism is getting the derision it deserves after all theses years of abuse.

There is no single agreed upon reason why Rome fell. Some say it was attacks by the barbarians/Goths, and some say the Empire itself was simply to difficult to manage and fell in upon itself.

Some historians say that it was Christianity itself that brought Rome down. That Rome could not exist as a mechanical empire once Christianity took hold.

I tend to believe the latter.

True Christianity brings the human conscience to maturity...and that is a bad thing for empire building and maintenance.

That’s funny, I was just tweeting yesterday that the making of false accusations of racism should be called “Touré’s Syndrome”.

I would point out that Rome was suffering from demographic collapse forcing them to rely ever more heavily upon outside non-roman forces to defend their borders. Inevitability those forces both abandoned and transformed Rome into that which was not roman.
In this way Rome did not so much fall as it lost that which made it a strong and powerful empire.

As an aside, you can use <,i,> to start a quote (remove the commas) and <,/,i,> to end a quote (again remove the commas). Naturally with the quote placed between the two statements.

This is the html instruction for putting text into italics.

Try it. Let me know if I can further clarify.

Liberalism is partial demonic possession, pure and simple.

George has lived inside the beltway much too long. He see liberals as simply errant.

They are not errant...they are demonic.

Don't believe me? Ask me for proof.

By at least a decade. I got to the point where it was a badge of honor to have that thrown at you at least that long ago. It meant you had won the argument.

Not necessarily. Use Firefox and the BBCodeXtra extension , which adds to the context menu new commands to insert BBCode/Html/XHtml codes in an easy and fast way..

Then make your own custom tags for posting here, such as to make paragraphs, links, colored text , bold , etc. All i need to do is select text in the FR combox, right click, and choose Custom tags and the one i want. My fingers are arthritic and do not move independently well, thus typing takes a while, and so this extension helps, thank God.

I also use Menu Editor to place the BBCode up the top of the Tab Context menu.

The BBCode scripts are kept in the prefs.js file in your FF profile folder (hit Help in the browser, then Troubleshooting Information and then Show Folder.

If you open that prefs.js file you can also write or paste all the codes you want (FF must be closed), once you learn how. I do not know BB or much html code, but i copy what i see and adapt it. If you want some let me know.

With Firefox you can also select text on a web page, right click and choose View Selection Source (or do ctrl+e), and copy what shows up as highlighted, then paste it. Which means for longer posts if practical, you can just write your responses to a word document saved as html, keep that open in Firefox, and save new responses, then hit F5 to refresh the page in Firefox, and copy it as per above.

OBAMA ON RACE RELATIONS AND ISLAM

From Dreams of My Father, “ I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER’S RACE”.

From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “The emotion between the races could never be pure..... THE OTHER RACE WOULD ALWAYS REMAIN JUST THAT; MENACING, ALIEN, AND APART”.

From ‘Dreams of My Father’, “I CEASED TO ADVERTISE MY MOTHER’S RACE AT ABOUT 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites”

From Dreams Of My Father, “NEVER EMULATE THE WHITE MAN and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. IT WAS INTO MY FATHER’S IMAGE, THE BLACK MAN, SON OF AFRICA, THAT I’D PACKED ALL THE ATTRIBUTES I SOUGHT IN MYSELF..”

From Dreams Of My Father: “THAT HATE HADN’T GONE AWAY,” he wrote, blaming “WHITE PEOPLE- SOME CRUEL, SOME IGNORANT, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.”

From Dreams Of My Father; “There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs,” he wrote. “IT REMAINED NECESSARY TO PROVE WHICH SIDE YOU WERE ON, TO SHOW YOUR LOYALTY TO THE BLACK MASSES, TO STRIKE OUT and name names”

From Dreams Of My Father, “I HAD GROWN ACCUSTOMED EVERYWHERE TO SUSPICION BETWEEN THE RACES”.

He tells us in his books of his love and admiration of Islam: Quote from Barack Obama’s book, Dreams Of My Father: “THE PERSON WHO MADE ME PROUDEST OF ALL, THOUGH, WAS MY [half brother], ROY..HE CONVERTED TO ISLAM”.
From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “IN INDONESIA, I SPEND TWO YEARS AT A MUSLIM SCHOOL” “..I STUDIED THE KORAN..”

From ‘Audacity of Hope: “LOLO (Obama’s step father) FOLLOWED ISLAM....”I LOOKED TO LOLO FOR GUIDANCE”.

From ‘The Audacity Of Hope, “I WILL STAND WITH THE MUSLIMS SHOULD THE POLITICAL WINDS OF WAR SHIFT IN AN UGLY DIRECTION..”

From The Audacity Of Hope, “WE ARE NO LONGER JUST A CHRISTIAN NATION, we are also a Jewish nation, a MUSLIM NATION, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.”

And if THAT isn’t enough, there’s his Muslim past. He was BORN into a long line of Muslims- and spent his formative years as the stepson of a practicing Muslim.- who without a doubt did his duty and sent his son to Muslim school and worship. Obama so much as admitted this in his book and today his handlers deny it!

What about the 26 or so years before he ‘joined’ a ‘Christian’ church? He states the joined the church and is a Christian, but where is his baptismal record? None can be found. A man undercover called the church and said he was a Muslim and asked if he could join. The answer was yes. They told him they had many Muslim members. (!!!)

Obama went to Kenya to campaign for his cousin, the Muslim-backed terrorist, Odinga, who caused riots when he lost the presidential election- riots that caused the deaths of over 1500, including 50 burned alive when a Christian church was burned down. Obama campaigned for this man! But then he told us he’d ‘stand with the Muslims’.

Then there is his pimping the illegal aliens: Obama’s speech to La Raza: (La Raza (The Race), Largest Hispanic organization in the U.S. Lobbies for racial preferences, bilingual education, stricter hate crimes laws, mass immigration, and amnesty for illegal aliens ) Obama said the recent Senate immigration debate “was both ugly and racist in a way we haven’t see since the struggle for civil rights.” !! Obama told La Raza that the mass protests lately of for immigration rights of Mexicans is equal in greatness to the civil rights protest of the past!!
Obama supports La Raza’s, the “DREAM Act,” which would mandate states to offer in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens — thus providing them with benefits not available to U.S. citizens from other states, as well as amnesty and other atrocities. Obama urged Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to sign the Dream act.(Schwarzenegger vetoed a similar measure last year.)
