The Democrat media machine, also known as the “Old Media” and no longer known as the “Mainstream Media”, has created the narrative of Racism in America, and that all opposition to President Obama is not principled. Rather, the opposition is a lingering “Jim Crow” racism – hateful, despicable and unprincipled. That is the mantra that is the media narrative. Now that the Obama policies have fallen dramatically in their acceptance by the broad middle of America, it must be racism because, surely, it cannot be the policies. Jimmy Carter chimed in two nights ago, aided by the politically-biased and corrupted General Electric subsidiary, the NBC news organization and the former Carter intern, Brian Williams of NBC News.
Remember, Jimmy Carter was the first former President to speak out against the foreign policy of a successor President in an overseas venue. What made that violation of established US protocol for former presidents shocking was that his criticism overseas was specifically directed at a US President who was administering not one, but two, wars. Such an egregious failure to uphold time-tested tradition concerning past presidents, in general, and criticizing the US in time of war overseas, earned Jimmy Carter the Nobel Peace Prize, a prize he coveted, like his neighbor’s wife, and one that had eluded him for any substantive performance in his own right. Remember, Jimmy, if you lust in the heart, it is the same as committing the act. Well, you lusted for Mr. Nobel and you committed a horrible act to satisfy your sinful desires.
As the former Carter Northeast Finance Director in 1975, the former budgeter of the general election campaign against Ford, the former Deputy Finance Chairman of the Democratic National Committee during the ’76 election, a White House consultant during the early months of the Carter Presidency who wrote the Cities in Schools program plan for national replication, and a Presidential Delegate to Guinea, Africa with Andrew Young, I was around long enough and close enough to see Jimmy Carter’s character flaws early. And I exited his administration early because those flaws were obvious to me and soon became obvious for all to see, earning him “worst President of the 20th Century.
Tuesday, President Carter reached a new low in what has always been his major flaws, a general lack of class and an all-powerful personal ambition that overrode whatever spiritual principles he says he lives by. I say “he says he lives by” because his spirituality has never been obvious to me. And I traveled frequently throughout the campaign and after with his mother, Miss Lillian, and his sister, Ruth. I was close, real close. During a softball game on the field in Plains, Georgia in 1975, I realized then and there that Jimmy Carter had no heart. I realize now that I was wrong. He must have had some heart then because he really has none now. He is, to quote Mr. Carter, “a disgrace to the human race.”
Now, those in America who do not want socialism, they know this is not about race. Even Rachel Maddow, who constantly says it is about race, knows it is not about race. On her program recently she played a montage of all of the “right-wing nuts” and “reactionary organizations” that confronted the same socialist agendas of Roosevelt, Truman, JFK, Carter and Clinton, and now Obama. Maddow says it is racist and then says “it has been the same for every democrat President.” So, which is it Rachel? The other guys were white – not racism.
Now, thanks to the media and Jimmy Carter, the racism charges are working to lower Obama’s ability to govern, causing the White House to deny the Carter charges. The White House recognized that Carter’s “racist” slur on top of the existing distrust caused by President Obama’s himself regarding health care and other policies are too much to overcome in the short term and maybe, if the racism anger stick, long-term, thus dooming his Presidency early. George Will summed up the distrust well in Newsweek this past week.
People used to trust government. Now, the middle class knows it only rewards the rich and the poor. The great middle is paying for subsidizing the rich’s mistakes – the bailouts of the Hamptons, the bankers, investment bankers, insurance magnates, and automobile upper crust while providing ACORN, Van Jones’ green jobs organization, and other pseudo-welfare organizations with tens of billions of taxpayer money that is being used to subvert the great middle class. The ACORN videos and executive bonuses highlight the subversion of taxpaying America.
Now, to be robbed and then called racist, that is the unkindest cut of all, as Bill Shakespeare would intone. And Americans, real Americans who believe in the Constitution of the United States of America, are fed up.
