The Race Wars are On! Vote for Obama or Else!
Politics is the process of decision making in groups and
the quest for power to enforce those decisions.
A significant fraction of power rests in the splinter groups or special
interest groups that can bargain their votes for concessions.
Other factions are anchored in base rock and cannot change their votes so they
become rubber stamps for the party leaders.
When all the groups are nested and the vote counts assessed one party
may be far short of a majority thus facing the reality of a loss in the next
election. Such is the unfortunate situation for the Democrats as they have
selected their candidates and now see that they are behind in the polls. The
only option is to persuade [or frighten] undecided voters, if such a thing can
be imagined after a solid year of campaigning, to cross party of special
interest lines and vote for the opposition. The threat of a race war is one
option.
Now racism has played a central role in leftist politics
ever since the Civil War and the workings of the Bolsheviks in US unions and
black political groups since 1920. We have a long history or race-baiting
and bias where voters are supposed to place their votes to support certain
parties and support one position or another focused by racism. The New York
Times—aka the Walter
Duranty Papers has a 90+ year history of apologizing for Communism, fostering any form of anti-anticommunism has
used race-bating and other propagandistic stratagems for decades in their quest
to attract voters. Their op-ed pieces routinely contain articles—more like
screeds—that crank out visions of oppression and expose racist actions by non
leftists.
The so-called journalists in many arenas appear to be non-racists in a holy crusade
to expose the ‘real’ racists and this disease is called cryptomisoxeny.
Here, the mechanisms and levers of overt racism may be plied and rotated in the
honorable crusade to attack and expose overt racism. The circular logic of this
nostrum is amusing. We can view this circus as we review the responses to Rev. Jeremiah
Wright’s racism and hate sermons, the mentor of Barack Obama for two decades. Apparently,
the senator can sit in the pews for 20 years and not notice that his pastor is
a noisy political agitator and racist.
The sordid outcomes
of this political effort frequently result in comments like this:
"To equate what I said with what this racist bigot has
said from the pulpit is unbelievable," Ferraro said today. "He gave a
very good speech on race relations, but he did not address the fact that this
man is up there spewing hatred. “—Geraldine Ferraro
recoiling from accusations of racism. [Emphasis is mine in all quotes.]
Apparently, Geraldine has forgotten how to play the game.
She is now a racist. So is Bill Clinton
as we read.
When the contest is nearly equal those who
sit on the political fence suddenly are intoxicated with the power to be king
[or queen] makers if they suddenly switch their votes to the opposition
candidate and the quest for their favors becomes the only viable alternative to
winning the race. A threat of war or riots in the streets is a convenient way
of scaring voters away from their normal positions. The notion of Nicolas
Sarkozy's survival
as French Interior Minister and his quest for the top spot in France was
contingent on riots and was a factor in is victory over the Socialist Ségolène Royal who predicted [or faithfully promised] new riots. The Spanish
elections were apparently decided by threats from the Islamo-Fascisti by giving
Zapatero's Socialists
an unexpected win. "I am the victim of a coup they have tried to hide
behind a bunch of muslims[sic]," the loser Mr Suárez said
There is no question that riots or the threat of riots is a
major political option that has been used for centuries and has upset the
political designs all over the planet, which brings us to the current race in
the US. There is no reason to suggest that
such political stratagems are absent from the planning stage if Obama loses as
the polls now indicate. The Obama loss would mean that his career and that of
Hillary Clinton would be finished and that a billion dollars of political
contributions would have been wasted. That outcome is indeed ugly.
Stroking this political
lever, the journalist Ali advises us:
“If McCain wins, look for a full-fledged
race and class war, fueled by a
deflated and depressed country, soaring crime, homelessness - and hopelessness!” -- Fatimah Ali Sep.
2, 2008 Philadelphia Daily News. [Emphasis is mine in
all quotes.]
When queried about this
pronouncement Fatima replies:
“I stand by the column - but after all of that
backlash, I realize I was dead wrong. We don't have to wait until after the
election for a race war. We're in one now.”
“I know that putting the words "race" and
"war" together is like hurling an incendiary device. But I wasn't issuing a call
to arms, it was a metaphorical prediction.”
She then
quotes some hate e-mail stuff she received to support her position. Summing up she retorts:
“No, we're not anywhere near "post-racial" times.
If we were, the possibility that a black man may well become our next president
wouldn't matter. And two words out of 775 in my original column would not have
unleashed the kind of hatred [by others? ]that makes me want to retreat to a bunker. ”
This is a classic piece of race-baiting and is
standard in leftist circles. Publish some inflammatory comments that are soaked
in threats and worse, collect examples of the backlash and then use the
response as a retreat citing victim hood, fear and such. This is how politics
works. The intent here is to scare whites into voting for Obama the way the
cowardly Spanish were herded into the polls by militant Muslins and terrorists
and the promises by French Socialists of street riots if Sarkozy was elected. Recall
that the terrorists can burn 500 cars per night in Paris and the authorities seem not to notice. That is politics! But,
Sarkozy did call them scum.
If the polls suddenly shift to Obama in the
fury and froth of such threats then this will be some indication of how racist
politics works. These are not "post-racial" times—these are
hyper-racial times so look forward to more of this. This is all the left has
left [pun intended].
Vote
accordingly.
