The Truth About Racism

There are a lot of charges of racism being tossed around these days by the democrats, but the problem is that the only people talking about race are the democrats themselves.

If Republicans talk about Obama's relationship with the terrorist William Ayers, the whitest white guy you'll ever see, we're called racists. If we object to universal health care, because it would be horrific for all the people of this nation, from the richest to the poorest, we're called racists. If we defend Governor Palin against the outrageous and vitriolic, hateful attacks from the left, we're called racists. It's gotten so bad, in fact, that if we point out how racist and anti-Semitic Jimmy Carter is, we're called racists... I guess they didn't notice how white he is either.

There is a very good reason for this, democrats are obsessed with race, while Republicans, at least the more Conservative variety, actually believe in equality, and that we should have a Color Blind America. The reason why the guy showed up at the Sarah Palin rally with the stuffed monkey in an Obama hat isn't that he's racist, it's that we don't double check everything we do to make sure that it can't be construed as racist. We have better things to do with our time than to obsess about race, which, to us, should be a non-issue.

We believe in actual equality. We believe that people need to be responsible for themselves. Having an equal chance doesn't mean that we all start out in the same place, or that the Government needs to step in and boost less fortunate people, it means that we don't have a caste system, and nobody is barred from success, but that some people will have to work harder for it than others do. Don't you think that the person who is born into poverty, and everything seems to be against them, but work their way to riches in spite of that, is more fulfilled than the person who is born into riches, but doesn't have any understanding of their true value? By the same token, don't you think that any person who works from a lesser state to a better state is more fulfilled than someone who has things handed to them by the Government? It is a proven fact that Welfare programs perpetuate, and even proliferate, poverty, while guts, determination, responsibility and hard work can overcome pretty much anything.

The fact of the matter is that Affirmative Action, that is, saying, we know you can't make it on your own, so, since you're not good enough, we're going to just give it to you anyway, is racist. Welfare, which doesn't more to keep people down than to lift them up, and is often targeted to black neighborhoods (though the white trash has no trouble finding it either) is racist.

I hope I've made my point clearly enough, and this post is long enough already, but one of these days I think I need to tear into the sordid, and terribly racist history of the Democratic party. That should be fun.
