An unfair advantage?

As if politics in America weren’t mean and nasty enough. We have now “progressed” into a new realm.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we now introduce the race, gender and Islamaphobia cards.

As far as I know, we still live in a democratic country. According to the “rules”, we are not only allowed to elect our president, but question the candidate.

But, there are some new rules this year. Or rather, new advantages to be used when it is to the benefit of the candidate.

Don’t like the question? Just pull out one of your “get one free” cards.

We are facing a situation in this election, that is untested. One of the candidates is black, with some obvious connections to Islam and the other is a woman.

The “gender” trial has been faced and moved on rather quietly. In our country, being accused of sexism is a lesser sin. Almost expected, a given.

The other trial, is a whole other story. Except for white supremists, who could give a damn, being accused of racism, feels like a death sentence. And being accused of being an Islamaphobe, could get you killed.

Obama just so happens to hold the 2 best cards in the hand. He is also the most questionable (in my opinion) of the candidates. Or rather, the one who has the most to answer to.

Where does that leave us in regards to our right to a “Free and Fair Election”?

I for one, will continue to question this man and stand my ground.

We live in a democracy. And so long as we have the rights, we need to stand up for them.

If we don’t, we will lose them.

Unfair and unjust PC has no place in politics.
