RacismRacismRacismRacismRacism and, oh yeah, I almost forgot — RACISM !!!!!!!!!
SNL’s “Church Lady” had a habit of finding Satan’s hand in EVERYTHING. The 18th century writer Samuel Johnson described patriotism as “the last refuge of a scoundrel.”
I believe you could update and modernize Johnson’s quote by replacing the word “patriotism” with the word “racism.” Modern-day lefties play the race card any time the facts are not on their side. Lately, it seems lefties and their comrades in the mainstream media are finding “RACISM” in just about everything.
Gary Pearce — former N&O scribbler from the pre-McClatchy era, former mouthpiece for Jim Hunt, and Carter Wrenn’s best friend — sees racism in the investigation and arrests for the Boston bombings:
Once again jubilant Americans take to the streets to celebrate the end of a terrorist. Crowds cheer police officers and military personnel. Fans at ball games chant “USA, USA!”Last time it was a diabolical international terror mastermind hiding in an expansive compound right under the noses of the Pakistani military. This time it was a pot-smoking teenager hiding in a boat right under the noses of a suburban family.Once again, there’s a Russian connection. Last time it was the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan. This time it was Putin’s brutal crackdown on Chechnya. This time we even got a tipoff from the Russians. Once again, it disappeared into the federal security bureaucracy.Last time we learned out how to make it harder for a terrorist to blow up a plane – and harder for all of us to get on a plane. This time we learn – what? If you see something, say something? See what? Dark-skinned young men carrying backpacks in college towns?
Meanwhile, the lefties like to push racial preferences that are a sinister form of racism, like the Gang of 8 Amnesty bill for illegal aliens. That bill puts the pushy lawbreaking line jumpers ahead of those who apply properly and wait in their home country like they are supposed to. Those who follow the law represent a wide mix of ethnic groups while the illegals are predominantly hispanic. Amnesty for illegals is a huge racial preference, making it supporters racists.
Well, Gary Pearce did write that the Democrats need a leader to step forward to be the next great Jim Hunt. I think the Democrats are pinning their hopes on Rev. Barber as the next great, great leader of the North Carolina Democrats. He gets more attention than all the rest of the Democratic leaders put together and not too many want to engage him in close talking. Love to write more but have to get Junior the Third on the school bus for his trip through the Green Zone.
Don’t forget the racism inherent in our welfare system keeping people slaves to the government.
