Racism?

Being a bitter conservative white guy clinging to his God and his guns, I am automatically assumed to be a racist. This is tough to swallow for the guy, who as a kid, memorized Dr. King's "I have a dream" speech because it talked about the America he wanted to help create. I've been a Republican for most of my life, and understand the abolitionist roots of the party and its history at the leading edge of the civil rights movement. That the Democrat party has hijacked that legacy and persuaded black Americans that their futures are best secured by them is one of those things making him bitter.

The NC primary results show 90% of black voters pulling the lever for Obama. The sleezy Chicago politician, with no more claim to the "black experience" in America than your humble correspondent, has convinced them "hope" and "change" are essential, with never an articulation of what might be hoped for, and what changes must be made. This is demagoguery of the highest order. The Democrat party has ruined the black family, trapped their children in failed schools, and taught them their existence depends on the government. Government becomes the benevolent master who provides for all needs. The strength and potential of another generation is wasted by the seductive promise that hard work, skill and determination are not necessary for success.

What a shame.
