(don't say I didn't warn you) And, I'm don't believe it's either, I'm just saving Pug and others the trouble...
I had the same upbringing as Radi...politics and religion were taboo. Unfortunately, at some point you have to take a stand.
First, the things I'm really tired of hearing:
- That because I like Trump...I'm a racists, bigot, KKk member etc...
- Trump only appeals to "Billy Ray" types. Guess what, Billy Ray and his type built this country. And yes, they are angry that we've had someone in the white house trying to destroy that for 7+ years.
- That Trump is a "Trojan Horse"...give me a break.
- That Trump can't win against Hilary...no one thought BHO could win either. Boy were we wrong.
- That Trump is a racist. NO President in recent history is more factually racist than Obama. Period. If ANY white candidate had attended a church like Jeremiah Wright's for 20 years they would never have made the white house. (simple test for racism, just change the colors in the sentence...works every time).
- And yes, I'm tired of hearing that whites are the only racist. Unfortunately, we don't have the market cornered on it and never will. Fact is, each race likes their own...it's human nature. MOST people that throw the word Racist and Bigot around cannot offer up a reasonable definition of either. I believe there are FAR more prejudiced people in this country that racist. Not defending it, just saying I believe it's true.
- Blacks are equally and in most cases more so racist and bigoted as whites. Look no further than the voter turn out and how ballots were cast for Obama. Sure, you'll say, that doesn't prove they're racist. It doesn't, but, the fact that they will support a black candidate regardless of qualifications or political platform makes you wonder.
Next, the things I find hilarious:
- The left attacking Trump on being racist, a movie star, an egotistical woman hating bastard. You guys might want to check your own before labeling Trump.
- By all accounts, Hilary Clinton is barely more than a criminal. This isn't really speculation, if she were any one of us, she would already be arrested...or at a minimum out of a job. Don't believe me? Any of you white collar guys try hiding emails or sending them unprotected with company secrets.
- This is the good old USA, and we have a relatively serious candidate that is a self proclaimed socialist!!!!! Let that sink in for a minute. Really, anyone that's EVER aspired to a high level of success could NEVER approve of that. Peter Pan was a great story, but, reality doesn't work that way.
(here's the tricky part for the liberals: They don't understand that most Republicans want to help those that truly need help. We just don't want to shell out our hard earned case for those that want to sit on the porch all day live off the government $$$)
Lastly, what I believe...you are not required or expected to agree:
- I think the polls saying Trump can't win are a total farce. I think the Democrats are scared to death of him. (just like we were/are of Obama). I think they know he's going to mop the floor with Hilary.
- Yesterday was the first real "proof" of what I've been saying for a while... This years election will be a VERY low voter turn out for blacks, minorities and the libs in general.
- Obama has ruined race relations in this country. He had a great opportunity to bring the races together and instead has done nothing but divide it more than ever.
- I believe in a level playing field for ALL races. No one gets a leg up (anymore) because of their skin color. I mean, if you want to go down that road, we've got to revamp the NBA, MLB and the NFL. Not to mention college football.
- No candidate (or elected President) will be able to do more than about 10-15% of what they proclaim. Unfortunately, Obama may have managed to break this trend.
- If you are Muslim, Black or hardcore liberal...what I'm saying isn't going to change your mind or your position...just as what you say will not change mine.
- If we could ever get passed the race discussion, we might actually be able to make some progress. But, as long as ALL lives don't matter there will be a divide.
Again, please feel free to call me Racist, Bigot, Old white Man, and whatever else you feel appropriate. The fact is those words have lost meaning with me as they've been over used incorrectly for so long.
