‘Cuz Blacks Are Too Fuckin’ Broke To Be Republican
At last count, Barack Obama has publicly repudiated Jeremiah Wright, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, Idi Amin, Robert Mugabe, Wayne Williams, Michael Jackson, and the entire starting five of the 1966 Texas Western basketball team. But is that enough? Aw hellz naw, says Evan Gahr at Human Events. Sure, there’s a horrible war, and the economy is in the toilet, and no one can afford health care, and gas rationing and food riots are just around the corner, but what’s foremost in Evan’s mind? In order to even be considered for leadership of the free world, Obama must denounce all rappers:
Although the media has finally exposed Barack Obama’s ties to the unhinged pastor his support from rappers who propagate equally pernicious nonsense has gone almost entirely unnoticed.
Quick, someone bust a 12-bar containing the phrase ‘propagate equally pernicious nonsense’. I’m going to compose a letter to Mr. Gahr explaining the difference between not noticing something and not caring about it. Meanwhile, back to the article:
Rappers are gaga over Obama. The superstar Jay-Z, who raps about “b——,” “hoes” and “n—–,“ even urged voters to support Obama in a robo-call for the March 4 Ohio primary and caucus.
I think it’s sorta curious that “bitch” and “nigga” get blanked out, but “ho” gets left intact. Not that this says anything at all about Mr. Gahr’s psychological makeup, goodness no.
The equally foul-mouthed rapper Will.I.am, whose hit songs include “I love my B—-,” has hyped Obama in two widely-viewed videos posted on YouTube.
Do you know why they’re widely viewed, Evan? Because people like them. All hail the free market, right buddy?
The rappers have good reason to praise Obama. He has at times been an apologist for their “music.”
In an incredibly moving show of restraint, Gahr waits until the fourth paragraph to refer to rap as ‘music’ (in scare-quote marks), and even more astonishingly, does not say “they should call it CRAP music!” at all. Clearly we are dealing with a rare cultural mind here.
His complicity with rappers dates back to at least 2006.
That’s right, America: Barack Obama — the man who dares suggest he is fit to lead our nation! — has in fact been an accomplice, if not an outright co-conspirator, to multiple counts of aiding and abetting hip-hop, going as far back as two years! It’s a wonder he’s not on death row, let alone serving as a United States Senator.
Obama even recorded a voice over for a new album out this June from rapper Q-tip. Will it contain lyrics like these sonnets from another Q-tip song? “Close the door, ‘ight let a n—- rock. Cause we ‘bout to eat real s—, not s— slop.” Who are these members of Obama’s amen corner? Many are the industry’s leading lights, who have become rich and famous thanks to the willingness of liberals like Obama to ignore or excuse their glorification of sexism, drugs and violence. Without this kind of collaboration they would just be unemployed thugs instead of millionaires.
Yeah, when I think of thuggish, violent crackhead street criminals, my mind instantly turns to Q-Tip and Will.I.Am.
Obama thus far has equivocated on rappers. He has criticized their language, but adamantly refused to denounce the whole sordid genre as the unique cultural problem that it is.
This is pretty awesome: rap isn’t just devil jungle music created by vicious whitey-hating murderers, it is a unique cultural problem, unprecedented in the history of human endeavor, that should be uniformly denounced by everyone, especially if they happen to be colored.
“I haven’t just singled out rappers,” Obama told Al Sharpton’s National Action Network conference last year, according to the New York Observer. “I’ve said I’ve heard those words [used by rappers] around the kitchen table in some homes. I hear them in the barber shop. I hear them on the basketball court. All of us have been complicit in diminishing ourselves.”
As an aside here, can you imagine the right’s reaction if Obama discussed the way white people talk when they’re alone with other white people, talking about blacks or women, and said that they have been complicit in diminishing the white race?
Obama here relies on the pro-forma defense of rap music. Yes, apologists say, it’s racist and sexist but it only reflects the racism and sexism of society. Oh, really? Where else but rap do folks talk so openly and regularly about b——, n—— and hoes? What other industry makes millions of dollars from those words? Obama says he’s heard this kind of language on the basketball court. Which one? Not any NBA game. Players who curse during games are suspended and fined.
I’m not even sure how to start with this one. Gahr is suggesting, here, that only in rap songs do young black males curse, because in NBA games, you can get fined for it! And where else would blacks play basketball except in the NBA? Nowhere that Evan Gahr has ever heard of!
Where else but rap do you hear words like these from Obama supporter Jay-Z in his song “99 Problems?”
Now once upon a time not long ago
A n—- like myself had to strong arm a hoe
This is not a hoe in the sense of having a p—
But a p—- having no God Damn sense
Going for the Wingnut Trifecta of Stupid, Ignorant and Misguided, Gahr here quotes, as evidence of hip-hop’s misogyny, a line from Jay-Z’s “99 Problems” that is actually about men. Well done, thou good and faithful servant.
Have any rappers donated to his campaign? Will he return the money?
It takes courage to demand the return of entirely theoretical money. But that’s just how we roll at Human Events, dog.
UPDATE: Thanks to alert reader/ashamed mother Mary Ruppert, we can now report that Brent “Walter Peck” Bozell has jumped on the “Barack Obama must publicly denounce all rappers” bandwagon. He has also brought us this vital piece of information:
Jay-Z also tells critics to kiss his whole (rectum).

The wingnuts have a simple goal: to force Barack Obama to renounce the very crime of existence committed by every single colored person on planet Earth.
That’s all they want. And until that happens, every single crime any black, mixed race, mulatto, high yella or ethnic person has perceived to have perpetrated against God-Fearing White Folk will be hung around his neck so he can be strung up by it from a nearby lynchin’ tree.
He’s gonna have to work overtime on that, I’m sure.

I just had to comment on this bit of idiocy from Ghar:
Except that it was liberals like Tipper Gore who called for things like warning labels on CDs with explicit content. And when they did, wingnuts like Ghar cried censorship. Must be nice to be able to invent arbitrary Catch-22s to snare liberals with at every turn.

If Obama wins and wins well (and my guess is IF he wins it won’t be narrow), I honestly wonder how wingnuts like this will cope. I really try to imagine how they’ll react and my mind can’t generate a plausible scenario because there’s only so much stupid I can simulate.

And Will.I.Am – well, heh, I mean ….. how much do we really have to say about a man whose known associate records a song glorifying the idea of bombing the London Bridge, which as we all know is now located in Arizona – Domestic Terrorism!
Not to mention Kriss Kross, and their bombing threats.

So I’m hanging with the Racist In-Laws(TM) a few months ago. They love- LOVE- this passive aggressive “we’re just commenting on black culture”/”it’s all racism against whites” bullcrap and make it essentially half of every dinner conversation. They’re clever enough to never cross into “I just hate black people,” rather, it’s “I hate people who don’t have jobs/credit,” “I hate people who take the bus,” “I hate people who don’t understand hard work,” “I hate people who don’t keep good lawns around here,” “I hate people who congregate in their front yards,” etc….but the framing makes it obvious.
Anyway, father-in-law has a bit too many to drink. We’re watching football. Falcons make a typically boneheaded play, guy starts flapping his arms, and says: “You know what our problem is? We’ve got too many ******* on the team!” Mother-in-law nods in semi-approval.
In short- You can’t hide yourselves, wingnuts. We know *exactly* what you mean with this. And sooner or later you’ll completely slip up. Glenn Reynolds has done a thorough job scrubbing out the damn Instapunk spot, but that’s certainly not the last of it.

The fact is, Gary, that you will see a black man’s face smiling down at you from every federal building in the land. In schools when you lisp the pledge of allegience, in the courthouse when the probation officer finally catches you, and in the post office when you mail your fines. Every man in the military will salute him, every person in every room in the land will rise to their feet out of humble respect for the black man who is their commander in chief, president, and First Person of the nation.
And every other black man in the country will say, that can be my kid. That can be me. And they’ll look out with pride and self-respect at the country, and finally begin to take their rightful place in the world.

I’m sure he’d say the same thing to the shareholders of the various record labels that distribute this scourge to the ears of lily white America.
However, I think we need to demand that Obama denounce Nat “King” Cole, whose silky tenor stylings caused many a 1950’s white lady’s private parts to pre-heat. Surely, Mr. Cole was a threat surpassed only by Communism, grizzly bears and sassy children.

It started with Rhythm and Blues. But it didn’t start with Rhythm and Blues. It started with Be-Bop. But it didn’t start with Be-Bop. It started with Jazz. But it didn’t start with Jazz. It started with Ragtime. But it didn’t actually start with Ragtime. It started with Abstract Expressionism. Except it didn’t really start with Abstract Expressionism so much as evolve from Abstract Painting. Which, of course, started with Cubism. Except it didn’t really start with Cubism. It started with Post-Impressionism. Except it didn’t really start with Post-Impressionism. It started with Impressionism and the Fauves.

And it’s the same, to an extent, with Hillary. For a woman to be president she has to prove that she’s “risen above” anything feminine. But oops, don’t go too far or you’re a castrating bitch.

Oh, you silly, silly man, those musicians are “real Americans” the rap music is only 3/5ths American.
In a thread generally full of Win, I vote Socraticsilence best of all!
Of course there is no point in asking McCain to “denounce, repudiate, and reject” anything whatsoever, because DR&Ring is the Base State of the bastard tribe generally short-handed as Scots-Irish — my people! And when respectable historians trace our Vial(tm) Musical Heritage, they find that the substance-abuse-infidelity-and-random-violence-encouraging genre of “Country Music” is based on the equally socially-irresponsible rootstock of Appalachian Ballards, which grew from the sordid muck of Celtic Folk Music and Urban Penny Dreadfuls, horrific descendents of the barbaric yawps and thuggish chest-thumpings spawned when the cattle-thieving tribes on the westernmost fringes of Europe indulged in their never-ending Gang Feuds with their equally anti-social northern “Viking” (def: ‘bloodthirsty’) neighbors. Try listening to that ‘Beuwulf” song sometimes, but please our talivangelical God not where sensitive young minds might be affected: It’s all murder, slaughter, drunkenness, ethnic insults, more slaughter, exceedingly rude Yo Mama “jokes”, capped off with extra murder and a general celebration of ethnic cleansing.

Okay, let’s do it. Let’s sound the bugle of liberty. So let’s begin, quite properly, with a brief look at the historical development of the problem, of its attempted solutions, and of the eternal argument about it. For a variety of reasons, some strategic, some ideological, some attitudinal, and all of them wrong, surly bludgers depressurize the frail vessel of human hopes. Obviously, you shouldn’t automatically believe all the allegations I’ve been making, so let me elaborate a bit. G speaks like a true defender of the status quo — a status quo, we should not forget, that enables him to elevate his metanarratives to prominence as epistemological principles.
Some people think I’m exaggerating when I say that G’s shell games are a cancer that gnaws away at the national psyche. But I’m not exaggerating; if anything, I’m understating the situation. In this land which has befriended humorless kleptomaniacs, G has conspired, plotted, undermined, prostituted, and corrupted, and — hiding to this hour behind the braver screen of snotty roustabouts — dares to contrive and scheme the death of every principle that has protected him. Consider the issue of sniffish, snippy Stalinism. Everyone agrees that I’m not actually demanding revenge, but there are still some hate-filled politicasters out there who doubt that he has lost what little credibility he once had. To them I say: Not only does he influence the attitudes of dominant culture towards any environment or activity that is predominantly postmodernist, but he then commands his dupes, “Go, and do thou likewise.” There can be no doubt that he truly believes that superstition is no less credible than proven scientific principles. It is just such depraved megalomania, effete, nugatory egoism, and intellectual aberrancy that stirs G to twist my words six ways for Sunday.
This is a lesson for those with eyes to see. It is a lesson not so much about G’s dangerous behavior but about the way that if you look back over some of my older letters, you’ll see that I predicted that G would make the pot of extremism overboil and scald the whole world. And, as I predicted, he did. But you know, that was not a difficult prediction to make. Anyone who has bothered to learn even a little about G could have made the same prediction. G’s harangues are not just about isolationism but also about metagrobolism. That is why, come what may, we must review the basic issues at the root of the debate.

Let’s hear Obama denounce my shit now!
The voice of racism preaching the gospel is devilish
A fake church called the prophet Muhammad a terrorist
Forgetting God is not a religion, but a spiritual bond
And Jesus is the most quoted prophet in the Qu’ran
They bombed innocent people, tryin’ to murder Saddam
When you gave him those chemical weapons to go to war with Iran
This is the information that they hold back from Peter Jennings
Cause Condoleeza Rice is just a new age Sally Hemmings
I break it down with critical language and spiritual anguish
The Judas I hang with, the guilt of betraying Christ
You murdered and stole his religion, and painting him white
Translated in psychologically tainted philosophy
Conservative political right wing, ideology
Glued together sloppily, the blasphemy of a nation
Got my back to the wall, cause I’m facin’ assassination
Guantanamo Bay, federal incarceration
How could this be, the land of the free, home of the brave?
Indigenous holocaust, and the home of the slaves
Corporate America, dancin’ offbeat to the rhythm
You really think this country, never sponsored terrorism?
Human rights violations, we continue the saga
El Savador and the contras in Nicaragua
And on top of that, you still wanna take me to prison
Just cause I won’t trade humanity for patriotism
It’s like MK-ULTRA, controlling your brain
Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change
They wanna rearrange the whole point of view of the ghetto
The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle
A bandana full of glittering, generality
Fighting for freedom and fighting terror, but what’s reality?
Read about the history of the place that we live in
And stop letting corporate news tell lies to your children
Flow like the blood of Abraham through the Jews and the Arabs
Broken apart like a woman’s heart, abused in a marriage
The brink of holy war, bottled up, like a miscarriage
Embedded correspondents don’t tell the source of the tension
And they refuse to even mention, European intervention
Or the massacres in Jenin, the innocent screams
U.S. manufactured missles, and M-16’s
Weapon contracts and corrupted American dreams
Media censorship, blocking out the video screens
A continent of oil kingdoms, bought for a bargain
Democracy is just a word, when the people are starvin’
The average citizen, made to be, blind to the reason
A desert full of genocide, where the bodies are freezin’
And the world doesn’t believe that you fightin’ for freedom
Cause you fucked the Middle East, and gave birth to a demon
It’s open season with the CIA, bugging my crib
Trapped in a ghetto region like a Palestinian kid
Where nobody gives a fuck whether you die or you live
I’m tryin’ to give the truth, and I know the price is my life
But when I’m gone they’ll sing a song about Immortal Technique
Who beheaded the President, and the princes and sheiks
You don’t give a fuck about us, I can see through your facade
Like a fallen angel standing in the presence of God
Bitch niggaz scared of the truth, when it looks at you hard
It’s like MK-ULTRA, controlling your brain
Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change
They wanna rearrange the whole point of view in the ghetto
The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle
A bandana full of glittering, generality
Fighting for freedom and fighting terror, but what’s reality?
Martial law is coming soon to the hood, to kill you
While you hanging your flag out your project window
Yeah..
The fourth branch of the government AKA the media
Seems to now have a retirement plan for ex-military officials
As if their opinion was at all unbiased
A machine shouldn’t speak for men
So shut the fuck up you mindless drone!
And you know it’s serious
When these same media outfits are spending millions of dollars on a PR campaign
To try to convince you they’re fair and balanced
When they’re some of the most ignorant, and racist people
Giving that type of mentality a safe haven
We act like we share in the spoils of war that they do
We die in wars, we don’t get the contracts to make money off ‘em afterwards!
We don’t get weapons contracts, nigga!
We don’t get cheap labor for our companies, nigga!
We are cheap labor, nigga!
Turn off the news and read, nigga!

“Okay, let’s do it. Let’s sound the bugle of liberty. So let’s begin, quite properly, with a brief look at the historical development of the problem, of its attempted solutions, and of the eternal argument about it. For a variety of reasons, some strategic, some ideological, some attitudinal, and all of them wrong, surly bludgers depressurize the frail vessel of human hopes. Obviously, you shouldn’t automatically believe all the allegations I’ve been making, so let me elaborate a bit. G speaks like a true defender of the status quo — a status quo, we should not forget, that enables him to elevate his metanarratives to prominence as epistemological principles.
Some people think I’m exaggerating when I say that G’s shell games are a cancer that gnaws away at the national psyche. But I’m not exaggerating; if anything, I’m understating the situation. In this land which has befriended humorless kleptomaniacs, G has conspired, plotted, undermined, prostituted, and corrupted, and — hiding to this hour behind the braver screen of snotty roustabouts — dares to contrive and scheme the death of every principle that has protected him. Consider the issue of sniffish, snippy Stalinism. Everyone agrees that I’m not actually demanding revenge, but there are still some hate-filled politicasters out there who doubt that he has lost what little credibility he once had. To them I say: Not only does he influence the attitudes of dominant culture towards any environment or activity that is predominantly postmodernist, but he then commands his dupes, “Go, and do thou likewise.” There can be no doubt that he truly believes that superstition is no less credible than proven scientific principles. It is just such depraved megalomania, effete, nugatory egoism, and intellectual aberrancy that stirs G to twist my words six ways for Sunday.
This is a lesson for those with eyes to see. It is a lesson not so much about G’s dangerous behavior but about the way that if you look back over some of my older letters, you’ll see that I predicted that G would make the pot of extremism overboil and scald the whole world. And, as I predicted, he did. But you know, that was not a difficult prediction to make. Anyone who has bothered to learn even a little about G could have made the same prediction. G’s harangues are not just about isolationism but also about metagrobolism. That is why, come what may, we must review the basic issues at the root of the debate.”
Yes, and well done, too. But we just wanted a simple block of flats.

The fact is, most country music reaffirms tradition family values
I have this great song on one of my old cassette tapes . Now this is some traditional family values (and I would really love to find this song on line so I can download it). I first heard in on WHFS in DC back when the station was actually good
I Spent My last $10.00 (On Birth Control and Beer)
by Two Nice Girls (lyrics by Gretchen Phillips)
When I was a young girl like normal girls do
I looked to a woman’s love to help get me through
I never needed any more than a feminine touch
I hated the thought of kissing a man it really was too much
I did not drink, I did not smoke I did not say “goddamn”
I was polite I was sensitive before I loved a man
My family, they were proud of me were proud of what I am
But then along came Lester and my tale of woe began
(Chorus)
I spent my last ten dollars on birth control and beer
My life was so much simpler when I was sober and queer
But the love of a strong hairy man has turned my head I fear
And made me spend my last ten bucks on birth control and beer
It was June 1983 when Mary Lou and I did part
She said she loved another dyke my god, it broke my heart
I was bitter and disillusioned to lose another girlfriend
Lester came to work at Papa’s store and decided to ease on in
Before my last heartbreak nothing made me more sick
Than a hairy-chested, cheap double-breasted suited man with a hard dick
I guess that I was curious I guess that I was young
I guess it was that rum and coke I guess that I was dumb
(Chorus)
For of course, for a woman to love a man she must also love to booze
If a woman don’t drink beside her man then she will surely lose him
As I sit in this hetero honky-tonk and reflect upon my past
I think about those girlfriends and why they didn’t last
For there’s certain thrills that lesbian love simply cannot supply
Like paying for abortions from sperm gone awry
And so I say to you my friends without this man I’d die
So listen to my tale of woe and hang your head and cry
(Chorus)

I finally stopped listening to HFS in the late 90’s when the got they got a “morning zoo.” I did start started listening to a station that also had a morning zoo but also had a a great news guy in R. Edward Lopez (RIP)

Actually, that sounds kinda cool to me. My ancestry was a bunch of random motherfuckers from the poorer areas of Europe. Some rich Americans wanted cheap labor, & my ancestors jumped circa the late nineteenth century.
By mother’s ancestor was a sister of Ann Boleyn, but made an even less fortunate choice of husband. Her granddaughter was a pauper and a murderer who was condemned to a lifetime of slave labor in the Virginia colony. Eventually her illegitimate children mingled with the Cherokees of Georgia and got forced out to Oklahoma. My grandfather was an itnerant evangelical preacher from an sharecropping famly in the Ozarks. They refused to admit that they were part-black, even though it was obvious and generally known that they were.
Until George W. Bush came along, they were what you would call the Republican base.

Together forever
America is the country we all love
We believe our destiny

Our country’s majesty
Forever together
America is the land we’re fighting for
There’s a time in history
For a hero’s destiny
Together forever more
Hey John
Say John
They’re gonna hit you hard with ev’ry thing they’ve got
Hey John
Come on
They’ll be calling you
Everything you’re not!
But sure as heaven
We’re gonna win
Start celebrating
Now let’s begin
Together forever
America is the country we all love
Let’s link our hands for all to see
Our country’s majesty
Forever together

So the family joke remains that whatever our ancestors were up to, it was so heinous that even THEY didn’t want to remember it.

My mate Tony Coxon reckons that the Welsh didn’t even have a word for ‘masturbate’ ‘coz they were all so clean-living and healthy that the possibility of self-pollution had never occured to them. They only encountered the concept when they came into contact with the filthy depraved tribes of Saxony, so they simply adopted the Anglo-Saxon word. I suspect that he’s making it up.
Tony has a sign in his bathroom, asking visitors (in Welsh) “Please do not wank in the shower”.

I see from the lyrics up-thread that the Muse has been with you all tonight. Not any of the usual muses, though. It may have been Eclampsia, the muse of poetically-named medical conditions.
She used to be the Muse of Constellation Names, until they ran out of gaps in the sky, when she took the option of up-skilling and job retraining. Of course a few years later the European explorers got down into the Southern Hemisphere and encountered a whole new hemisphere of constellations, but by then Eclampsia was otherwise occupied, so that’s why we’re stuck with star-signs like “The Microscope” and “The Toilet Plunger” here in the southern sky.

[...] According to the justice department in George Bush Sr’s administration, Bosch had participated in more than 30 terrorist acts. He was convicted of firing a rocket into a Polish ship which was on passage to Cuba. He was also implicated in the 1976 blowing-up of a Cubana plane flying to Havana from Venezuela in which all 73 civilians on board were killed. . . . Bosch’s release, often referred to in the US media as a pardon, was the result of pressure brought by hardline Cubans in Miami, with Jeb Bush serving as their point man. Bosch now lives in Miami and remains unrepentant about his militant activities, according to Bardach. . . . Other Cuban exiles involved in terrorist acts, Jose Dionisio Suarez and Virgilio Paz Romero, who carried out the 1976 assassination of the Chilean diplomat Orlando Letelier in Washington, have also been released by the current Bush administration. So what to take from this? Obama is a dangerous criminal, and the Bush- family is a patriotic bunch of flag- waving Citizens. But why? Discuss..?

Cause everyone knows patriotism is more about worshipping the great dead white men who Made America the Bestest Country EVAH™ and hating/oppressing the right groups of your fellow citizens and not about, you know, your fellow citizens without whom the concept of “nation” is meaningless. Just the typical lazy “patriotism” of the typical Republican, for whom genuflecting to a symbol and shooting off your mouth about how America can do no wrong is a lot easier than actually caring about the welfare of the nation – the actual people.

Obama is a theologically liberal religionist who writes his own holy writ while quoting from the Bible.
A theologically liberal religionist and a Muslim? A dessert topping and a floor wax?
He does not know his Bible which is evident when telling inquirers to check out Matthew 5-7 Sermon on the Mount for what Jesus said about homosexuality. There is nothing in that passage regarding that issue.
5Blessed are the meek,

“I haven’t just singled out rappers,” Obama told Al Sharpton’s National Action Network conference last year, according to the New York Observer. “I’ve said I’ve heard those words [used by rappers] around the kitchen table in some homes. I hear them in the barber shop. I hear them on the basketball court. All of us have been complicit in diminishing ourselves.”
As an aside here, can you imagine the right’s reaction if Obama discussed the way white people talk when they’re alone with other white people, talking about blacks or women, and said that they have been complicit in diminishing the white race?

Gosh, Art, I hate to break it to you, but I heard white people referring to women as bitches and whores (and cunts, which is their super-special favorite) before there even was such a thing as rap music.

McCain’s face reddened, and he responded, “At least I don’t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt.”

Hey Art.
Let’s operate on the assumption that I’m a little, well, slow.
Explain to me what any of this has to do with presidential leadership. This is associations, conversations and name calling. We can do it to every single candidate.
The question is, who can steer the ship of state in such a manner that we can avoid going over the cliff that bush/cheney has steered us toward.
McCain? More of the same, politicized government, tax cuts for the wealthy, corporatist policies and more wars?
Clinton? A good handle on the way government works, but too many chits and not enough courage or independence.
Obama? A man who has the courage and independence to take the critical steps necessary to save the nation, even if he takes politically fatal hits in the process.
I know what I believe…

Wow, Art’s stupid. Assuming he’s white, he’s dimnishing the race every time he hits “submit comment.”
Others have already said it, but it’s also stupid to refer to “our women” as if we’re some sort of personal breeding machine, with happy ending.
Racists are so pathetic. They’re all “I may be scum with no money, a twenty-year old car, and a trail of bad checks and angry women behind me, but at least I’m better than teh gay and blacks!”

In this letter, I will do my best to make my arguments against Barack Obama clear and articulate. I plan to utilize numerous examples and maybe even some occasional humor so as not to strain your patience as I delve into immense detail about how despite Obama’s protestations and rhetoric, the facts do not support his claims. It may help if I begin my discussion by relating an innocuous story in order to illustrate my point: A few days ago I was arguing with a splenetic lumpenproletariat who was insisting that stoicism is a be-all, end-all system that should be forcefully imposed upon us. I tried to convince this loquacious rascal that Obama’s planning to exploit issues such as the global economic crisis and the increase in world terrorism in order to instigate planet-wide chaos. Planet-wide chaos is his gateway to global tyranny, which will in turn enable him to create a climate in which it will be assumed that our achievements reflect not individual worth, talent, or skill, but special consideration. It’s easy to tell if he’s lying. If his lips are moving, he’s lying. For all of the foregoing reasons, I can confidently claim that when one examines the ramifications of letting Obama subordinate principles of fairness to less admirable criteria, one finds a preponderance of evidence leading to the conclusion that whenever I turn around I see him forcing me to run around like a chicken with its head cut off. To deny such a truth would be to deny the evidence of our own senses.
It has been said that Obama’s jeremiads are about as useful to society as a hundred deutsche marks were in 1923 Germany. I, in turn, claim that Obama has a talent for inventing fantasy worlds in which might makes right. Then again, just because Obama is a prolific fantasist doesn’t mean that insolent maniacs are more deserving of honor than our nation’s war heroes. To say that it is better that a hundred thousand people should perish than that he should be even slightly inconvenienced is dirty nonsense and untrue to boot.
Obama and his agents provocateurs are, by nature, snippy dunderheads. Not only can that nature not be changed by window-dressing or persiflage, but I shall not argue that Obama’s newsgroup postings are an authentic map of his plan to persecute the innocent and let the guilty go unpunished. Read them and see for yourself. He wants to assail all that is holy. But what if the tables were turned? How would Obama like that? If we don’t soon tell him to stop what he’s doing, he will proceed with his intransigent, foul platitudes, considerably emboldened by our lack of resistance. We will have tacitly given him our permission to do so.
Even though Obama insists that nativism forms the core of any utopian society, I, speaking as someone who is not a fastidious convert to deconstructionism, certainly allege that anyone with eyes and a brain can tell that if my own experience has taught me anything, it’s that he has come up with proven methods to oppose the visceral views of 98 percent of the nation’s citizens. All you have to do is let your guard down. He argues that I am unsavory for wanting to reinforce notions of positive self-esteem. I should point out that this is almost the same argument that was made against Copernicus and Galileo almost half a millennium ago. If Obama were to get his hands on the levers of power he’d immediately preach hatred. If you don’t believe me then consider that there is no excuse for the innumerable errors of fact, the slovenly and philistine artistic judgments, the historical ineptitude, the internal contradictions, and the various half-truths, untruths, and gussied-up truths that litter every one of his essays from the first word to the last. There is something grievously wrong with those petulant blowhards who replace law and order with anarchy and despotism. Shame on the lot of them!
If I had to choose between chopping onions and helping Obama perpetuate the nonsense known technically as the analytic/synthetic dichotomy, I’d be in the kitchen in an instant. Although both alternatives make me cry, the deciding factor for me is that unlike Obama, when I make a mistake I’m willing to admit it. Consequently, if — and I’m bending over backwards to maintain the illusion of “innocent until proven guilty” — he were not actually responsible for trying to intensify race hatred, then I’d stop saying that Obama recently went through a statism phase in which he tried repeatedly to force us to adopt rigid social roles that compromise our inner code of ethics. In fact, I’m not convinced that this phase of his has entirely passed. My evidence is that Obama uses big words like “cinematographical” to make himself sound important. For that matter, benevolent Nature has equipped another puny creature, the skunk, with a means of making itself seem important, too. Although Obama’s bromides may reek like a skunk, Obama expresses insufficient concern about the ozone layer, the Bhopal tragedy, and lesbian theater. I don’t think anyone questions that. But did you know that he is so bloodthirsty, I could roll over and play dead?
Just don’t expect consistency from a man who is utterly and sincerely vile. I will not quibble with Obama as to whether or not a careful appraisal of his refrains raises some thought-provoking issues. Instead, I’ll simply state that in this crucial hour and under the treachery of our time, I must announce that the portents indicate that, before you know it, Obama will impose tremendous hardships on tens of thousands of decent, hard-working individuals and leave it at that. Sure, we could just sit back and let him wage a clandestine guerilla war against many basic human rights, but that prospect really grates on people who have any kind of common sense.
As I’ve said before, I have always been an independent thinker. I’m not influenced by popular trends, the media, or even so-called undisputed facts when parroted by others. Maybe that streak of independence is what first enabled me to see that Obama frequently avers his support of democracy and his love of freedom. But one need only look at what Obama is doing — as opposed to what he is saying — to understand his true aims.
I should add parenthetically that Obama plans to grasp at straws, trying to find increasingly intemperate ways to retain an institution which, twist and turn as you like, is and remains a disgrace to humanity. He has instructed his thralls not to discuss this or even admit to his plan’s existence. Obviously, Obama knows he has something to hide. It may seem at first that he should focus more on the quality of his writing than on the amount of drivel he can squeeze in. When we descend to details, however, we see that if you’ve read this far then you probably either agree with me or are on the way to agreeing with me. To paraphrase a line from Hamlet, “Blackguardism, thy name is Barack Obama”. When I say that ever since he began his quest to twist my words six ways for Sunday, he has been denying with his lips what he has been doing with his hands, this does not, I repeat, does not mean that the rules don’t apply to him. This is a common fallacy held by insane marauders.
According to the dictionary, “Obama-ism” is “any of a set of plaints that perpetuate inaccurate and dangerous beliefs about male-female relationships”. The sooner he comes to grips with that reality, the better for all of us. I can’t predict the future, but I do know this: His fantasy is to coordinate a revolution. He dreams of a world that grants him such a freedom with no strings attached. Welcome to the world of incendiarism! In that nightmare world it has long since been forgotten that Obama acts as if he were King of the World. This hauteur is astonishing, staggering, and mind-boggling.
I wonder what would happen if Obama really did make a cause célèbre out of his campaign to prevent us from recognizing the vast and incomparable achievements, contributions, and discoveries that are the product of our culture. There’s a spooky thought. Because it’s now in fashion and touches everyone’s heart, Obama’s always talking about the welfare of our children. But that doesn’t stop him from wanting to deface a social fabric that was already deteriorating. Nor does it negate my claim that I’m sure Obama wouldn’t want me to eavesdrop on his secret conversations. So why does he want to promote litigious ideologies such as Fabianism? It’s an interesting question and its examination will help us understand how Obama’s mind works. Let me start by providing evidence that if I were elected Ruler of the World, my first act of business would be to convert retreat into advance. I would further use my position to inform certain segments of the Earth’s population that Obama is allergic to any idea that isn’t insufferable. I know you’re wondering why I just wrote that. I’ll explain shortly, but first, I should state that if Obama were to descend to character assassination and name calling, social upheaval and violence would follow. It is therefore clear that we find among narrow and uneducated minds the belief that denigrating and discarding all of Western culture is essential for the safety and welfare of the public. This belief is due to a basic confusion that can be cleared up simply by stating that Obama looks down with a really limitless condescension on anyone who has not been dragged through the obligatory schools and had the necessary knowledge pumped into him. Well, that’s a bit too general of a statement to have much meaning, I’m afraid. So let me instead explain my point as follows: From secret-handshake societies meeting at “the usual place” to back-door admissions committees, Obama’s cohorts have always found a way to don the mantel of vigilantism and create new (and reinforce existing) prejudices and misconceptions. In the end, a sure-fire way to elicit derisive sneers, leers, and jeers from Barack Obama is to create a world in which neocolonialism, fanaticism, and hooliganism are all but forgotten.
