Get ready for at least a week of racial handwringing, bowing, kneeling, and confessing in America. A Republican Representative called Barack Obama "boy".
'That boy's finger does not need to be on the button'
U.S. Rep. Geoff Davis, a Hebron Republican, compared Obama and his message for change similar to a "snake oil salesman" [at a Northern Kentucky Lincoln Day dinner].
He said in his remarks at the GOP dinner that he also recently participated in a "highly classified, national security simulation" with Obama.
"I'm going to tell you something: That boy's finger does not need to be on the button," Davis said. "He could not make a decision in that simulation that related to a nuclear threat to this country."
An aide to Davis, Jeremy Hughes, declined to comment on the remark, and didn't dispute the accuracy of the quote.
Say it with me now, my fellow conservatives, "We are the racists we've been waiting for."
Boy! Isn't it about time we get over the racial slur connotations of ordinary language, whether we're black or white? Now it's the blacks who are the racists in the way they exploit their privileged position as the descendants of African slaves, though not a single one of them is in truth discriminated against, but rather protected in every possible way, as though they were an endangered species. I'm speaking here not of blacks in a general way, and certainly not most blacks, none in fact with whom I am in daily contact where I live (Oregon), all of whom (along with myself, a "white guy") don't actually think of ourselves anymore in terms of black and white, but as members of the human race, and specifically, as Americans. That last category is the new people that our founding fathers had in mind when they framed our institutions, and which the great epic poet Walt Whitman sang about in his immortal Leaves of Grass. That's the real privilege, to be an American. Nothing has yet been found to match it on the face of this whole earth.
ReplyDeleteOne "boy" cancels out all the ranting of Obama's mentors and his own repeated expressions of disdain for the "typical white person" in his distorted worldview? I don't think so.
ReplyDeleteWhat I would like to know are the circumstances in which the would-be next POTUS couldn't make a decision in a simulation relating to a nuclear threat on the country.
ReplyDeleteRomanos,
ReplyDeleteThanks for bringing Whitman into the argument. I agree.
RRA,
ReplyDeleteHopefully, that will come out in the next few days.
BORING.
ReplyDeleteThe democrats have turned this whole friggin thing into a race about race.
BORING.
Now everyone is so hypersensitive we have to describe the color black as a combination of all colors.
What happened to GWOT?
What happened to the Fairness Doctrine?
What happened to the 2nd Amendment?
What happened to universal health care (or not)?
UGH !
This total moron in KY has about 12 hours to offer an alternate explanation, if he can get heard, after that, he needs to be excoriated, and that has to be so because otherwise using HIM and his idiot mouth will become the focus of a month of bloviating rather than focus of the friends of Barry and what they stand for.
I'm with you Epa. This whole race thing is getting very old and very boring.
ReplyDeleteJust a convenient way to sidestep each and every frigging thing that IS important. Spend your time picking apart every single innocent word that comes out of your opponent's mouth.
He/she is bound to say something that can be used.
