Which one are you...

 

In regards to the recent brouhaha over healthcare, the media attempted to throw a label on those opposed to ObamaCare.  At first we were just “fake angry”, then we were “ignorant” hillbillies (although they dropped the hillbilly part so as not to offend hills).  Now we are racists.  This whole debate has very little to do with resistance to a brilliant plan that would put us on the path to European socialism, but more to do with white people upset that there is a black man in office.

Spencer blogged about the dude in New Hampshire open carrying, and now it seems more and more people are exercising their rights to legally carry firearms to these rallies.  In Arizona, on guy decided he would sling his AR-15 across his back and carry that as well.  Now, I know some of you squirmy readers of my blog may be a little shocked, and may think that these people carrying are being stupid, but I say to you that they are perfectly within their rights to do so, and the more people that exercise those rights, the more we show the aristocracy in this country that we still care about the constitution.  Anyway, the media used this example to show that racists are protesting, and carrying a WMD on their hip is a not so subtle threat to the president.  Well, they failed to point out that the gentleman with the rifle was himself, black.  Newbusters has a great piece on this- View article...

 

Well, now that we have that out of the way, which one are you? 

Are you fake angry, just upset that your guy didn’t get elected (I am not sure if McCain was anyone’s “guy”).

Or are you just plain old ignorant, too dumb to know that this healthcare bill is really, really, really good for you?

Perhaps you are a racist, upset that the white power vacuum in the US has been breached by one of “them”?

Now I know you are saying that there should be a fourth category, the one in which you are none of the above, but actually have valid concerns and disagreements over ObamaCare.  But come on, that is just plain silly, and I don’t know if I want to entertain that idea in my blog.

Also, I don’t want my blog to be reported to flag@whitehouse.gov and have Rahm Emmanuel “straighten” me out on ObamaCare.  So, please, no criticisms of the plan.

Peace- I’m out.

Yeah, I heard that I was racist. Never mind that I am vehemently against being forced by my govt to do anything.
