Racism is defined as discrimination based on race, but the Democrat Party has taught the uninformed voters that a racist is defined as "a person that disagrees with Democrat Party policies." The fascinating truth is, when racism was a problem in this country, it was the Democrats who were the racists. Democrats now wag their finger at their opposition, accusing anyone that disagrees with them of being racist. They manufacture racism at every turn, because they must first turn everyone's eye's away from the racism that inhabits the Democrat Party, and then they must use racism to destroy their enemies. And the Democrats have learned that the accusation of racism works great. They don't even have to have evidence. Just proclaiming that Republicans, Conservatives, and Tea Party folk are racist works wonders.
When I disagree with Democrats on immigration, I am called a racist. Never mind that my wife is Mexican, and was born in Mexico, for that matter. She naturalized in 2007.
When I disagree with Democrats on social safety net issues, I am called a racist. Never mind that I myself have struggled in life, and at one point as a kid spent a few years growing up in North Long Beach (hint, Snoop-Dog's neighborhood).
When I disagree with Democrats on terrorism, or Islamic issues, I am called a racist. Being a Christian automatically earns me that label. Recognizing who the wages jihad, and deciding that I would like to keep my head as a part of my body, incriminates me as an Islamophobic racist, it seems. So, would it be racist to ask the jihadist not to cut off my head as the tapes are rolling?
When I disagree with Democrats on social issues like abortion or healthcare, I am called a sexist - racism's gender related cousin. Never mind that I believe that unborn children are persons, and deserve the right not to be murdered. It has nothing to do with a woman's right to murder, and everything to do with a child's right to not be killed.
When I disagree with Democrats on marriage and morality, I am called a homophobe, bigot, and hater. The people calling me those things, however, support homosexuals using the force of law to destroy a business owner to the point of bankruptcy for refusing to go against their religious beliefs and bake a cake, and using the force of law to force teachers to teach homosexuality as normal behavior, while doing what they can to use the force of law to kick Christianity, prayer, or even the mere mention by anyone that there might be a God, from schools. Creationism can't even be mentioned. Instead, the "theory" of evolution is all that can be taught, and it must be taught as fact, even though there is no evidence supporting the theory beyond a shadow of a doubt. The IRS has also been utilized to go after Christian organizations for daring to have a different opinion regarding homosexuality.
And that all said, now that we understand who we are dealing with, here is a comment left for me on Political Pistachio just before the elections last Tuesday:
Utterly disgusting: Racist Right resorts to Fear-mongering to beat Obama in Novemeber Elections! It's hard to tell how much the far right, in its enduring hate for Obama, is seeing an opportunity in the Ebola hysteria, or the Ebola anxiety is feeding and re-igniting those racist and religious attacks on Obama from their heyday in '07-'10 when he was so unknown. Either way, Twitter and social media is serving as its own source of incubation and a visual breeding ground for rallying the base. If you're gonna call the president a traitor, you're gonna need a bit more evidence than youtube. Republicans are trying to destroy America. And Bush gave it quite a go by destroying our economy AND destroying our reputation around the world. Ayup The Koch brothers like our government so much - THEY WANT TO BUY IT! Ayup All this bitching and moaning about ebola is a prime example. Right now, influenza kills thousands of people each year. This is thousands of times more than ebola ever has.When I disagree with Democrats on immigration, I am called a racist. Never mind that my wife is Mexican, and was born in Mexico, for that matter.

And that all said, now that we understand who we are dealing with, here is a comment left for me on Political Pistachio just before the elections last Tuesday:
I don't even remember which post he was complaining about, but I gather it was one of the many Ebola posts where JASmius and I have been saying, "Let's not panic, but let's not ignore the Ebola problem, either. Take preventative measures so that it doesn't become something that endangers American citizens."
But, to disagree with Obama, according to this stereotypical commenter that has a way with spelling and grammatical skills, is racist, and an example of our "enduring hate for Obama."
Okay, let's break this down:
"Racist Right." I believe in opportunity for all, like the GOP tends to lean towards as per their platform. That means opportunity for each and every individual that is willing to stick their neck out and do the work necessary to succeed - including any and all people regardless of race, color, ethnicity, and so forth. Expecting people that may not be the same as I am in race, color, or ethnicity to have to go through life without special privileges offered by the government, such as affirmative action, or various entitlements or subsidies offered certain groups, does not make me racists; it means that I truly believe we are all created equal. But nothing in life should be for free, and to succeed it takes a lot of hard work and determination, regardless of who you are. The GOP was created to abolish slavery, and they were the ones behind the Civil Rights Act of 1964, of which the Democrats filibustered against. Liberal Democrat Woodrow Wilson segregated the military, and it was Republican Dwight Eisenhower that officially and constitutionally ended racial segregation in the military (Truman unconstitutionally signed executive order 9981 to call for desegregation of the military, but the Constitution requires it to be a Congressional Action). The Democrat Party as a whole created the KKK to act as a militant terrorist arm of the party, hard left Democrat Margaret Sanger created Planned Parenthood with the goal of using abortion to eliminate "undesirable races" like blacks, and Lyndon B. Johnson said that his creation of the Great Society, which took Roosevelt's entitlement programs to a whole new level, was for the purpose to make sure those "N***ers vote Democrat for the next 200 years."
"resorts to Fear-mongering to beat Obama in Novemeber Elections!" Conservatives don't have to "resort" to anything. The Democrats do stupid things, and we call them on it. "Fear-mongering" is not asking for protective measures to protect us from a possible spread of Ebola. But I can give you examples of Fear Mongering. From Breitbart: Michelle Obama: Blacks Need to Vote Democrat. . . or else. From the Washington Times: Democrats say, "If Democrats don't win, KKK will run Alabama." From Best of Cain: Georgia Democrats say if Democrats don't win, there will be a Ferguson in Georgia. From Breitbart: Tom Brokaw: If Republicans win, we will still be in charge.
"It's hard to tell how much the far right, in its enduring hate for Obama, is seeing an opportunity in the Ebola hysteria." Enduring hate for Obama? Not quite. I don't hate the man, but I have a real problem with his radical, extreme, leftist policies. The visitor to Political Pistachio begins this portion of his comment with a general statement about the "far right," which tells us how little the little man understands about his opposition. Democrats, leftists, and the general population of the progressive movement are collectivists, so they tend to cluster together like the diseased monsters that were once human in "I Am Legend." They huddle together, stripping themselves of their individuality, to follow the latest leftist leader, and to spew the leftist talking points without even thinking about what they are saying. . . and they believe they are being unique in some way. The "far right," as he calls anyone that isn't far left, however, is comprised of individuals, who disagree often, and argue among themselves. A great example of this is the war between the Establishment Republicans and the Tea Party. This is not because we are falling apart, but because as self-reliant, responsible individuals with opinions of our own, we refuse to be squeezed into some "one size fits all" mold. Therefore, to generalize opinions regarding the "far right" is a mistake, because every "right-winger" is different, have their own pet issues, and often may agree in principle on certain issues, but may differ with each other in the application of the issue, the strategies, or the varying degrees of the issue. As for the Ebola Hysteria, again our commenter is not paying attention. The general feelings about Ebola among those on the right is not for people to panic, but at the same time to take reasonable precautions to ensure the disease does not spread in the United States. Hope for the best, but plan for the worst. Again, there are varying degrees of opinion on this issue, but for the most part, the hysteria our commenter is talking about is a manufactured hysteria propagated by the leftist media who has been telling their viewers that right-wingers are going off the reservation in panic, when in reality, that is just not true.
"or the Ebola anxiety is feeding and re-igniting those racist and religious attacks on Obama from their heyday in '07-'10 when he was so unknown." I don't know how racism can be linked to the issue of Ebola, other than the commenter's perception that all disagreement with Obama, and therefore any disagreement with the Democrat Party, is automatically racist by virtue of the opposition daring to oppose the leftist agenda because the President is half black. An idiotic stance, and a racist stance, but common among Democrats. Obama, himself, is quite the racist, and has surrounded himself with radicals and racists. Religious attacks? What religious attacks? I am not sure where that one came from, aside from maybe the fact that the opposition to Obama pointed out that the man's pastor, Jeremiah Wright is anti-American as portrayed through his vitriolic sermons, and that though Obama claims to be a Christian, he has repeatedly mocked Christianity. Otherwise, the "religious attacks" statement makes no sense to me. The "heyday in '07-'10 when he was so unknown" is also a strange assertion. He was known, because what he was planning is what liberals do. And if you go back through Political Pistachio you will see that in 2007 and 2008 I had Obama pegged. In fact, I remember a few times, even before the Fast and Furious scandal, pointing out that Obama would be eventually going after our guns. A number of liberal trolls hammered me for daring to say such a thing, pointing out that Obama never said such a thing. He did. They just chose not to hear it. Now, during Obama's second term, gun control is a major issue. . . as I saw coming.
"Either way, Twitter and social media is serving as its own source of incubation and a visual breeding ground for rallying the base. If you're gonna call the president a traitor, you're gonna need a bit more evidence than youtube." For me, Twitter and the social media are an extension of Political Pistachio. I use those services for no other reason, for the most part, than to promote this site. In other words, I have it set up that whenever a post appears here on Political Pistachio, the article or post will automatically show up on Twitter and Facebook, as well. As for "You're gonna need a bit more evidence than You Tube" - I am figuring the commenter doesn't believe that video of Obama and Democrats saying things, and it coming out of those people's mouths, is not good enough evidence. Does he want me to start taking DNA samples? Oh, and I have never made a formal accusation that the President is a traitor. . . those are your words - but his anti-American actions do dance of the edge of being traitorous, don't you think? As terrorism threatens to attack America, he opens the border wider, and as Ebola spreads and becomes a dangerous epidemic, Obama and his CDC states that the best way to keep Ebola from spreading is to NOT restrict travel into the United States from countries where Ebola is running rampant. How does that make any sense? If Obama cared about protecting the American population from the potential of Ebola becoming a problem, he and his democrats would take preventative measures. But they refuse, because it interferes with the narrative of their political agenda. What that tells me is that the political agenda is more important than the welfare of the American public. You don't think that edges on being traitorous?
"Republicans are trying to destroy America." That was the most comical statement of this whole, moronic rant by the leftist commenter. Please tell me, how is trying to get government to adhere to the Constitution which made this nation the greatest and most prosperous nation on Earth destroying America? How is fighting back against leftist policies that have failed repeatedly throughout history destroying America? How is standing against the most tyrannical president that has expanded the powers of the executive branch more than any President in history, and standing against the Democrat Party who has orchestrated under Obama the largest rise of our national debt in history, to the point that it is greater than all increases in the national debt of all past presidents combined, an attempt to destroy America? Your leftist talking point, on that one, was delivered without any facts behind it, and was a completely idiotic statement.
"And Bush gave it quite a go by destroying our economy AND destroying our reputation around the world." As for the economy, under Bush the economy was stronger than at any point under Obama. The economy fell apart at the end of Bush's second term not because of his doing, but because of the Democrat Party's doing regarding "affordable housing." Democrat policies that echoed the failed principles of the Community Reinvestment Act are what created the housing bubble, and collapsed the system. Sub-prime lending was encouraged by the leftists of the Democrat Party, and in 2003 the Republicans recognized what was going on, and on the floor of Congress addressed the problems and proclaimed there was going to be a collapse if Freddie Mac, and Fannie Mae, were not reeled in. The Democrats claimed the housing market was not capable of collapsing, and that the GOP were fear-mongering. The Democrats refused to work with the Republicans to protect us from a housing crisis, and then when it hit, they turned around and blamed the republicans for it - and blind little tools like yourself believes the lies because you are not smart enough to look beyond what the Democrats and the liberal media tell you. As for the reputation around the world, that is something that was manufactured by your heroes in the Democrat Party. Tell me. In Iraq, what was the number of countries involved in Bush's coalition of nations, and how many nations have joined Obama's? The truth may shock you.
"Ayup The Koch brothers like our government so much - THEY WANT TO BUY IT!" So the Republican Party has brothers that help out in conservative causes, and they want to buy the government, but the Democrats have much more money being poured in by many socialist wealthy leftists (Soros, Zuckerberg, Bloomberg, Gates, Hollywood, etc. etc. etc.) that the Koch Brothers' money going into politics looks like loose change, and that's the best you've got? They want to buy the government? Really? Take off the blinders, and you'll see who the real big money tyrants are, and I am here to tell you it is not the Koch Brothers.
Ayup All this bitching and moaning about ebola is a prime example. Right now, influenza kills thousands of people each year. This is thousands of times more than ebola ever has. You have a good point about the flu, except the Ebola could become much worse if we don't take reasonable precautions. You don't look at Ebola and say, "Gosh, it's a nasty disease, but since it is only bad in Africa, we've got nothing to worry about." Ignore it, and it has the potential of being a huge killer. I am not saying we need to panic, and I don't believe hysteria is in our best interest, but to refuse to take any preventative precautions is just plain stupid. And I don't believe this is a political issue. Ebola is an issue of common sense. You, my dear friend, are the one "bitching and moaning" and making it a political issue.
Thank you for your comment. . . Mr. Anonymous.
Not even brave enough to leave a name. Jeez.
