Unity Or Division?

As usual, Barack Obama talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk. On this day that he "preached" unity, he and his followers clearly practiced discord and division.

Obama certainly showed this fact, again, in his selection of another preacher. Reverend Joseph Lowery gave a pseudo-benediction and, with absolute unconsciousness as to the portent of the event that was at hand, spoke the following: "Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get in back, when brown can stick around ... when yellow will be mellow ... when the red man can get ahead, man; and when white will embrace what is right...".

Obviously, by inference, the whites of this country must always be wrong because they, some day, must "still" embrace the "right." Apparently, this drug-store Reverend, clearly of the Reverend Wright ilk and of the school of racial hate for the white man, is too dumb to know what the word Benediction actually means. It doesn't mean that you spew childish rhyme-time rhetoric to attack the white race -- a race that didn't leave Mr. Obama at the back of the bus but, instead, game him the keys to the bus. A benediction is to ask for God for guidance and, literally, means to "speak for good." There was absolutely nothing "good" about his senseless diatribe. I realize the man was a civil rights activist at the time of Marin Luther King but, he, like a lot of those who lived then, and are living now, and are seeing the waning need for their civil rights activism, are totally clueless as to the gains that blacks have made in this country. We are not "still" living in the civil rights era of the 1960's and before, and Barack Obama has clearly proved that.

The second disgusting show of classlessness was by those Obama backers who attended the inauguration. I can understand a few boos when Bush or Cheney were introduced and were shown on the various Jumbotrons throughout the D.C. Mall. I'd expect that kind of anger from those on the extreme political left of this country. But the chorus of boos that rang out by that crowd just demonstrates the moronic behavior of a lot of "Democrats" in this country. What's worse... they also booed Bush's wife, Laura. This just reaffirms what I said in my blog of a few days ago, a "Comment About Comments", about the animals who call themselves Progressives, Democrats, and Liberals.

With Democrats like John Conyers and Nancy Pelosi promising to investigate and criminalize Bush and his Administration for possible crimes, the concept of any unity is totally out of the question. If Conyers and Pelosi pursue this, there will never be any unity in this country. The politics of division will only continue to grow. The whole theme of this inauguration is a sham. The concept of change is a sham. Under the guise of the current economic problems, Barack Obama and his gang of vengeful politicos will use this opportunity to do what Democrats have always done -- tax and spend so they can get the votes. They won't solve this country's serious problems. They certainly won't bring this country together. Further, if prosecutions of any kind do go forward, no good and qualified persons will ever want to serve in government again for fear of politically-based retribution. Again, the Obama-spew of calling for service to our country is just another hollow concept from a guy that is all words and has a complete history of inaction.

By The Way: In the 1960's I was a Democrat. I, like a lot of my fellow students of that time, clearly believed in the JFK, RFK, MLK, and JBJ dream of racial equality. I participated in actions like a sit-in on a local chain of hamburger stands that had been known to shun black patrons. And, the civil rights movement in this country was successful because of the support of millions upon millions of white people across this country. Most all the anti-discrimination and civil rights laws we have today were enacted by white legislatures from coast to coast. That's what I would easily call "whites" embracing "what is right!" So, I get a little tired of the "blanket" commentary that I hear from many of the prominent civil rights leaders of today.
