My Last Rant....maybe

If I don't get this out I will explode, my last Obama speech until he makes a move to turn us into a western European country. We must give him a chance even though it has been open season on Bush for 8 years. Clarence Thomas, Condelezza Rice and Colin Powell didn't get this kind of support. Condie is black and has a funny name, show her some love. They are minorities just like Obama but they are a double minorities, they are black Republicans (Powell sold out). We were not urged to support them because the black liberals called them "Uncle Toms & Sellouts"....We all know Obama is a great basketball player but now we are watching him at back-peddle on some of the pie-in-the-sky ideas that got him elected. "I am my brother's keeper" was used to make the rich feel responsible for the poor, well unlike Obama I help my family and they have helped me, none of my whole or half siblings live in a hut. I read his first book, after he finishes with the White House gig Harlequin Publishers have their next author, more fluff then a Brownie troop's barn fire. When you get to speculate on what your grandparents "probably said" it is not fact it is fiction....When is he trying to mirror Lincoln's trip to White House, does he know how that ended, next he will be attending a play...How will those talking heads on CNN, MSNBC and all the other liberal "reporters" react when Obama does something they disagree with? How can they comment on the first black president and not be considered a racist? I am a Martin Luther King Jr./Ronald Reagan conservative. I judge people by the content of their character not the color of their skin and I love this country and believe that anything is possible if you are willing to work hard and sacrifice.  Yes, there is a history of racial injustice but that is not unique to America, it is still happening today all over the world. My ancestors were captured, enslaved and died to help build this country, I won the genetic lottery and I am not going to waste it trying to figure out who doesn't really like me because I'm black. People don't like me because I am a conservative, because I'm black, because I married a white man, because my empty trash cans are on the curb to long, there are a lot of reasons not to like me but I don't allow that to define me. Black people call each other "brother" all day long but don't treat each other like brothers, 10,000 black men die each year at the hands of other black men but if a white cop makes a mistake and kills a black man that causes riots. Riot when you can't go to work because the drug dealers are blocking your path to the bus or when kids are on the way home from football and get shot in a drive-by. Tomorrow will a be wonderful day in, we have a bi-racial president because anything is possible, only in America. I wish my dad, and his dad had lived to see this day. Daddy and I would have had some heated conversations and I would have called him election day to concede. I was determined to make him a conservative, oh well.
