Racism Perspires out of Every Orphace of the Conservative Party

I'm starting to wonder what would happen if President Obama adhered to all conservative ideals and tore down all government regulation and oversight, disposed of all gun laws, dumped more money into the military and the "war on terror", scrapped all social programs, allowed Christian prayer in schools, and made sure gays were kept under wraps? Would the Republicans and all the townhall meeting clans persist in calling him a socialist? Something tells me that many would, because it has become more and more apparent that the name calling has less to do with policy and much more to do with race. You see, the militants that everyone saw parading on TV at the 9/12 protest against healthcare, with their hate mongering and crude signs were indeed a transparent group of people. Some of those marching in the streets were actually without healthcare. Many of them were happily on the socialized medicine plan we call Medicare. Some, deep down, really hoped for healthcare reformation, and would be on the other side of the fence had a white man proposed the idea. But that afternoon they decided to walk the streets in an organized herd, chanting tribal slogans, and scream that Barack Obama is a "Socialist" because it would be unacceptable to actually call him what they wanted-- the "N" word. And while Glenn Beck swallows the urge on a daily basis to use that word over the airwaves he is not allowed, so he has to energize and mobilize his cult following with buzz words like Communist, Fascist, and Socialist, while also transforming the word Liberal into a dirty smear word. So, in fact, they have swapped out the racial slur with the next most vile thing that they could think of-- someone who adheres to that unpalatable doctrine that endorses passionate, moral, progressive, liberal ideas.

It is hard to believe that the Joe Wilson outburst, the birther movement, the witch hunt for dirt on any mid-level Obama official, and the staunch opposition to any move (no matter how small) that Obama makes, would in fact be taking place if he was white and certainly not if he was a Republican. The level of outrage over the first 200 days of this administration is more extreme than the 8 years of lies, torture, incompetence, corruption, unprovoked military invasions, and out of control spending exercised by the previous administration.

When Glenn Beck, the self proclaimed voice of the anti-Obama movement, says it is his mission to make sure Barack Obama accomplishes nothing while president, this should alarm the nation. People should be ready to move, to counter-revolt, just as easy as it is for Beck to rally people around a cause that is perpetuated by hate and economic inequality. The party that called anyone who dared to speak unfavorably about George W. Bush unpatriotic now suddenly believes that their ideals should come at the expense of the welfare and success of the country. These people are open about their desire to see the country fail. This takes a special kind of person. Someone with deep-seeded, vile, pent up racism and hatred for others. It is my belief that at some point Fox News will cease to exist when the masses finally recognize them for what they are-- the Ku Klux Klan. In the mean time, I hope the 46 million uninsured Americans keep hanging on, while the Teabaggers and their puppeteers keep trying to impede their right to life.
