Wow. Everyone is so sensitive these days, even the newly minted Attorney General Eric Holder who called Americans cowards because of some assumed racial slight. "We, as average Americans, simply do not talk enough with each other about race,” he said. He went on to call America "a nation of cowards which has never been at ease with frank conversations about racial matters that continue to divide us."
Holder did concede that the workplace is now “largely integrated,” though he complained that in his opinion, Americans “self-segregate” into
“race-protected cocoons” on the weekends and in their private lives. WHAT!!? Does the phrase "freedom of association" mean anything to anyone? Excuse me! Am I missing something here? I choose my friends and I know you all choose yours! I just can`t see myself hangin`with rap artists or sumo wrestlers! Does that make me a racist? If I met them at a gathering, I would be gracious and enjoy the DIVERSITY! Mr. Holder, where have you been? Did you somehow miss the fact we now have the first duly elected black "present" in the WH and you, Eric Holder, are the first black Attorney General in the history of the United States of America to hold the office? Sheesh! What do you want???? Something called reparations?? No doubt, much more to come regarding so-called, inferred civil rights violations!! We have been warned!
And then we come to Travis, the recently deceased Florida chimp,. Loaded on Xanax that he could not have possibly prescribed for himself, he brutally attacked and maimed a woman who was called to reachout to help get him back in the house. The terrified owner called the police to come with their guns blazing. Travis, who had starred in commericals in his younger days, had dined on lobster and filet mignon, could dress himself, use the toilet and the computer and often shared a glass of wine while cuddling with his "mistress" before sleepy bye-bye time. Travis was shot dead by the police after his last rampage. He, too, has been lamented as Victim.
And so journalistic creativity reared its "ugly" head! A cartoon was published in the New York Post depicting two police officers blowing the smoke off the barrels of their blazing pistols while remarking sardonically, "They'll have to find someone else to write the
next stimulus bill." Somehow, someway, this cartoon has now been labeled as a racist slur against present B. Hussein amabO. The Reverend Al Sharpton is justifiably angry for all those who voted for "hopenchange", and is offended by the comparison of pbho to Travis and doesn`t care who knows it. Will the day ever come when Sharpton will be ignored and shunned by everyone who has even a smidgen of free thought? No one can make this stuff up, a cliche, forgive me. Meanwhile, the last eight years have subjected the populace to literally thousands of images of George W. Bush being portrayed as a chimp, with the low hairline and monkey like gait, always reaching for bananas, grunting and rooting around, scratching his armpits as primates naturally do.
One thing must be said. George W. Bush always announced troop deployments publicly and with great solemness and humility. He never signed an order for our soldiers to go off to war without the dignity and respect they deserve. present B. Hussein O has recently signed an order to send 12,000 soldiers into Afghanistan to fight the "good war on terror" with the stroke of his little pen, but with none of his soaring rhetoric or the transparency that he promised with "hopenchange". The press is silent and unquestionning. Who is the chump now?
