Who do these politicians think they are? How is it they think these attacks on the American people can be apologized away? And how do they NOT see that their political football is making Americans angrier than Washington will ever be able to repair?
Let me try to put this in perspective for politicians and their stenographic media groupies, since they don’t seem to understand what is happening here. Senator Harry Reid was trying to offer a compliment to then Senator Barac Obama – at least that was what he THOUGHT he was doing. It was in that compliment that he was showing his deep-seated racism by insulting Americans who are dark skinned and speak a dialect of English that is NOT Democrat Harry Reid Approved. Reid and those of his ilk are unwilling to take each person on their own merit preferring to sort Americans into stacks that he and other politicians can play to for their votes. By putting Americans in nice neat little stacks they can then dehumanize us and play to each ‘stack’ for their votes.
The formula for this travesty is the same every time one of these politicians blunders into showing us who the REALLY are: A politician makes a racially charged comment followed by the political classes running to the microphones to see who can score the most points for their political party. The offenders apologize and get all the people they know to run out and tell the world what wonderful people they are and that we should forgive the offender. Meanwhile, those trying to shove the comment down the offender’s throat push it until the American people are ready to throw all of them out of office. It’s an old strategy that is played over and over again – and each time it comes up everyone acts like it’s a surprise that the political class is filled with a bunch of racists. Americans are NOT surprised even a little bit.
Here’s a big TIME OUT for both sides in Washington. These are AMERICANS who are being insulted by Washington politicians AGAIN and We The People have had enough. This time we have one political moron insulting Americans, followed by the president adding to the insult by jumping in to forgive the moron politician. Why forgive the moron politician? Because the president NEEDS the moron politician to save his failing agenda. As a result WE AMERICANS are supposed to sweep the whole thing under the rug and let them get back to ‘more important matters.’
I find it interesting and insulting that every time one of these politicians blunders into revealing who he or she really is in the racial arena there are always ‘more important matters’ to deal with than race. I’m sorry, but for a member of the Political Class to insult one or a group of My Fellow Americans I find it OFFENSIVE. At that point it is no longer necessary for them to discuss ANY other matters. You have shown yourself to hate Americans and you need to get out. It’s that simple.
It’s not that they have ‘more important matters,’ but that they are scared to death to touch race as an issue. They’d rather grovel with their weak apologies and use cheap ‘off the rack’ excuses like ‘some of my best friends are…’ and slither away into the shadows until the whole matter is forgotten. What could be more important than finding out which of our politicians are JACKASSES and cutting them from the herd? Pushing through a sorry socialist agenda or a healthcare plan that is going to do nothing to HELP the average American? Why listen to us Americans? Why worry about telling Americans there is a segment of us who are not worthy of consideration – that being darker Americans who speak in some dialect of English that is not a white bread Ivy League snobbish dialect makes some of us less worthy? Let’s face it, that’s exactly what Harry Reid was saying. We have seen this attitude surfacing over the last couple years from him and the people around him. If you are not an Ivy Leaguer who politicians and their media feel are from THEIR mold you are going to be belittled and treated like some sort of pariah.
As Americans we have to continue to strive to get past “hyphenated” American status. That is a form of racism all its own that keeps people from being part of the whole American fabric. Does Harry Reid consider himself an European-American? I’ll bet the thought never crossed his mind. He sees himself as an American. So why does he feel it is right to place any other person who was born in this country into a “hyphenated” status? Italian-Americans, African-Americans, Mexican-Americans… and the list goes on and on. Washington continues to attempt to divide Americans into ‘hyphenated’ groups for the politician’s own political gain. They then try to use those divides to push all of us away from each other to control our votes.
Let’s face it, Washington has declined into nothing more than a group of sick rich people who are so far out of touch with the American people they don’t see us as anything more than numbers in columns on polling data for them to move up and down the field. They have lost the ‘flesh and blood’ feel that comes from KNOWING their constituents. Our leaders start playing to each other and their media as soon as they get inside the Washington Beltway losing total touch with the Americans they were elected to represent. Washington’s problem is that Americans are seeing them ‘naked’ for the first time and we now have a very good understanding of who they are and what they are doing. From out here in the cheap seats of America it is the Political Class that is an insult to the American way of life. And they have about nine months to learn that lesson.
