When I think of racism I think in terms of Rosa Parks and the pain of being in the midst of that dark time in American culture. Parks refused a bus driver’s order to give up her seat to a white passenger. It is said that she became “tired of giving in.” The image of a black man being overpowered and abused, even killed by a group of lowlife thugs lurks there in my grasp of the vileness of racism. There are countless other examples of this evil affecting various ethnicities throughout history.
For the average, thinking individual the definition of racism is fairly straightforward. Good, decent folk know it when they see it and act appropriately to limit its impact.
Sadly the term racism is now quite commonplace. It has taken on a new, much broader, enlightened definition, one developed by those with little concept or concern for the real meaning of the word or the suffering of those directly affected. Politically left leaning, these liberal “thinkers” self righteously diminish the affect of actual racism for their own self aggrandizement.
“Look at me. I found racism. I must be a good person.” It is not unlike the boy who cried wolf.
The often fraudulent accusations actually show disrespect for real victims who truly have experienced racial injustice.
Today, racism is just another word parroted by the left. It is like a bumper sticker announcing the latest band wagon to which they have hitched a ride. These lost souls, motivated by a constant need to improve their self image, have a misguided view of one of humanity’s major failings. Determined to stamp it out, they go in search of racism finding it most frequently where none exists.
The new racism is everywhere. It is a big component of political discourse. It even shows up in what most would see as harmless email humor. The self appointed societal guardians are so well trained they can identify racism at the click of a mouse.
Free speech is yielding too much ground to this political correctness. You must be cautious of what you say and about whom you say it unless, of course, you are mocking Christians. There is no shame or chastisement for that. Whatever you do though, never ever poke fun at Muslims.
If the accusers are to be believed, racism is only practiced by conservative Tea Party types, mostly those who disagree with President Obama’s purposeful destruction of the economy. It is typical now to dismiss the many who share their deep concern about a miserably inept president with the dismissive, “They’re all just racists.”
No, they are not. They are citizens pained over the destruction of their country by an inexperienced, thin skinned, narcissistic, weak, extreme Socialist who does not believe in a proud, strong, prosperous America. They do not wish to see their country destroyed just to be rebuild it in a way that is wholly un-American.
I can speak to this personally having been accused of racism where Obama is concerned even though I have absolutely no interest in his color. My support of Herman Cain, (who is fully black since we’re on the topic), for nominee and hopefully President elect, should alert my accusers to that truth. It does not. My transgression has nothing to do with race. It is about me not drinking the Obama Kool-Aid, ergo, I must be a racist.
For liberals, especially those not well versed on the topics for which they hold strong opinion, the only tool in their kit bag is name calling. It is one of the cornerstones of liberalism. If you have no idea of what you’re talking about, if you have no sensible argument to present in support of your position, act like a grade school bully. Simply label whomever you disagree with by whatever negative monicker (sexist, homophobe, racist, etc) best covers for the argument you are incapable of making.
So. . .did you hear about the blonde, the Muslim and the gay guy who walk into a bar?

Could Finishing Second Prompt Another Newt Resurrection?
Second place for Newt Gingrich in last nights Florida primary came as no surprise. Given the intense struggle between the top two Republican titans, Gingrich did better than some expected taking 31% of the vote. Mitt Romney won 46%. Rick Santorum and Ron Paul placed a distant third and fourth.
The night ending speeches given by the presidential contenders provided insight into their future campaign strategies. Overall Mitt Romney gave an excellent speech pointing to the vast differences in how he and President Obama view America. He clearly defined his desire to restore real hope in a country so devastated by increasing government interference in people’s lives and business.
Rick Santorum rightly addressed the need to improve the dialogue in order to win the prize. The goal, he reminded America, is to defeat Barack Obama. That is more easily accomplished when not tearing each other apart. Through his points about the Romney/Gingrich slugfest, Santorum articulated why voters may want to look more closely at him. While not a bad effort, he still finished third in the winner takes all state. That’s fifty-five delegates Florida did not give to Rick Santorum.
Ron Paul, with zero chance of becoming President, was folksy and typically humorous noting in his speech that, “Well if enthusiasm wins election (sic), we’d win hands down.” It doesn’t. You won’t. Good-by.
Newt Gingrich was on message last night. There was no pessimism when the former Speaker appeared before an enthusiastic group of supporters who clapped and cheered as he laid out his vision for Inauguration Day, 2013.
Gingrich began by reminding America what President Lincoln declared in 1863 – government of the people, by the people, for the people. Newt believes people power trumps money power, a direct shot at Mitt Romney. He feels that a combination of his experience in the Reagan administration and his ability to develop ideas will pave the way to victory.
The history lesson began the main thrust of what could be Newt’s latest resurrection.
Returning to his Reagan days, Newt reminded Americans of his work on the successful, 1994 Republican Contract With America that promised to shrink the size of government, lower taxes, make the country more business friendly and move forward with both tort and welfare reform. Voters gave that Contract a 60% approval rating
Not surprisingly, Newt offered an “equivalent” version, a new Contract, this time between Newt Gingrich and America. The two part deal requires supporters to do what it takes to get Newt elected President along with a Republican Senate and Congress. That’s part one. Part two is a “to do” list for his first day in office.
Gingrich Inauguration Day promises include: immediately signing previously prepared legislation repealing Obamacare, the Dodd Frank Bill & the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, all three of which are seen in conservative parlance as extreme government interference and heavily responsible for killing the American economy. Newt also promised to use Presidential Executive Order to abolish all White House czars immediately, sign without delay a deployment of the Keystone Pipeline deal with Canada, order the State Department to open the US Embassy in Israel, block all US dollars from going outside America to pay for abortion and repeal all anti religious legislation passed under Barack Obama.
Newt Gingrich hit on exactly what conservatives want to hear. In order to win the nomination he must choose now to turn his aim away from Mitt Romney and become entirely focused on removing from office, America’s worst President, Barack Hussein Obama.
