THROW GRANDMA UNDER THE BUS
March 19, 2008
Obama gave a nice speech, except for everything he said about race. He apparently believes we're not talking enough about race. This is like hearing Britney Spears say we're not talking enough about pop-tarts with substance-abuse problems.
By now, the country has spent more time talking about race than John Kerry has talked about Vietnam, John McCain has talked about being a POW, John Edwards has talked about his dead son, and Al Franken has talked about his USO tours.
But the "post-racial candidate" thinks we need to talk yet more about race. How much more? I had had my fill by around 1974. How long must we all marinate in the angry resentment of black people?
As an authentic post-racial American, I will not patronize blacks by pretending Obama's pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, is anything other than a raving racist loon. If a white pastor had said what Rev. Wright said -- not about black people, but literally, the exact same things -- I think we'd notice that he's crazier than Ward Churchill and David Duke's love child. (Indeed, both Churchill and the Rev. Wright referred to the attacks of 9/11 as the chickens coming "home to roost.")
Imagine a white pastor saying: "Racism is the American way. Racism is how this country was founded, and how this country is still run. ... We believe in white supremacy and black inferiority. And believe it more than we believe in God."
Imagine a white pastor calling Condoleezza Rice, "Condoskeezza Rice."
Imagine a white pastor saying: "No, no, no, God damn America -- that's in the Bible for killing innocent people! God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human! God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme!"
We treat blacks like children, constantly talking about their temper tantrums right in front of them with airy phrases about black anger. I will not pat blacks on the head and say, "Isn't that cute?" As a post-racial American, I do not believe "the legacy of slavery" gives black people the right to be permanently ill-mannered.
Obama tried to justify Wright's deranged rants by explaining that "legalized discrimination" is the "reality in which Rev. Wright and other African-Americans of his generation grew up." He said that a "lack of economic opportunity among black men, and the shame and frustration that came from not being able to provide for one's family, contributed to the erosion of black families."
That may accurately describe the libretto of "Porgy and Bess," but it has no connection to reality. By Rev. Wright's own account, he was 12 years old and was attending an integrated school in Philadelphia when Brown v. Board of Education was announced, ending "separate but equal" schooling.
Meanwhile, at least since the Supreme Court's decision in University of California v. Bakke in 1978 -- and obviously long before that, or there wouldn't have been a case or controversy for the court to consider -- it has been legal for the government to discriminate against whites on the basis of their race.
Consequently, any white person 30 years old or younger has lived, since the day he was born, in an America where it is legal to discriminate against white people. In many cases it's not just legal, but mandatory, for example, in education, in hiring and in Academy Award nominations.
So for half of Rev. Wright's 66 years, discrimination against blacks was legal -- though he never experienced it personally because it existed in a part of the country where he did not live. For the second half of Wright's life, discrimination against whites was legal throughout the land.
Discrimination has become so openly accepted that -- in a speech meant to tamp down his association with a black racist -- Obama felt perfectly comfortable throwing his white grandmother under the bus. He used her as the white racist counterpart to his black racist "old uncle," Rev. Wright.
First of all, Wright is not Obama's uncle. The only reason we indulge crazy uncles is that everyone understands that people don't choose their relatives the way they choose, for example, their pastors and mentors. No one quarrels with the idea that you can't be expected to publicly denounce your blood relatives.
But Wright is not a relative of Obama's at all. Yet Obama cravenly compared Wright's racist invective to his actual grandmother, who "once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe."
Rev. Wright accuses white people of inventing AIDS to kill black men, but Obama's grandmother -- who raised him, cooked his food, tucked him in at night, and paid for his clothes and books and private school -- has expressed the same feelings about passing black men on the street that Jesse Jackson has.
Unlike his "old uncle" -- who is not his uncle -- Obama had no excuses for his grandmother. Obama's grandmother never felt the lash of discrimination! Crazy grandma doesn't get the same pass as the crazy uncle; she's white. Denounce the racist!
Fine. Can we move on now?
No, of course, not. It never ends. To be fair, Obama hinted that we might have one way out: If we elect him president, then maybe, just maybe, we can stop talking about race.

CHORUS:
Grandma got run over by Obama
On his way to Denver the other eve.
You might say Obama’s not a racist,
But as for me an’ Grandpa, we believe.
He’d been taking so much flak now,
From being buds with Pastor Wright.
Who spread his hate-speech ‘bout our nation,
Even though Obama’s mom was white.
When we found her the next morning,
At the scene of the attack
She had “racist†tattooed on her forehead,
And Obama’s footprints ‘cross her back.
CHORUS
Now we’re so proud of ol’ Obama,
He’d explained it oh so well.
There’s race problems in this country
But even Grandma’s racist
so what the hell! (Refrain)
It’s not a campaign without Grandma,
All the family’s dressed in black.
And we just can’t help but wonder
Who’s the next family member he’ll attack! (HE’LL ATTACK!)
CHORUS
I’ve warned all my friends and
neighbors,
Better watch out for yourselves.
They should never vote for POTUS,
A guy who won’t wear flags on his lapel.
Sing it, Grandpa!

This is great!
Ann Coulter is ma he-ro.
What she is saying is just what I have been "seeing" from the libtards...all this talk about racism...and they have motives with it, for sure, hoping that we will just elect Obama to PROVE that we AREN'T 'racist'. They won't shut up about whites being racist against blacks, unless B.O. wins.

I am coming back to this thread RebelYell, because I took your bait in the lounge where you said that you think Yankees are so gullible, that if you tell them anything with a southern drawl, they will believe it...
I am astonished that YOU laud Ann Coulter, who is SO not a southerner.
Do you think she too is gullible and would be fooled by your southern drawl?

Wow, I really struck a nerve there. No, she is not a southerner. A person doesn't have to be a southerner to have what we call "good sense". I've read your posts, and agree with mostly everything you say. The transplants I've dealt with ARE very gullible. They think they're so superior to us dumb rednecks down here, that as long as you play stoopid they think you can't be pulling one over on them. Granted, these are people I call friends. To be truly conservative you must have southern values, also known as old time, christian values. That's the wonderful thing about being behind the times.

It did strike a nerve, because it was offensive, and it is probably because I have roots on both sides of the family, and it is plain ignorant bigotry, plain and simple.
I definitely know what you are talking about with the northern arrogance (as I KNOW all about it, firsthanded, from living up there for 18 years), and I know how they regard southerners. It isn't right, and I don't fault you for not putting up with their condescension...but, on the other hand, it is offensive to say that non-southerners are gullible and believe anything you tell them.
And YOU saying that only true conservatives are southern is just flat out ignorant as well. Ronald Reagan is not a southerner, neither is Ann Coulter. You saying that is not only false, but it is full of ignorant arrogance as well.
The place I witnessed the quintessential state-of-the-welfare mind was IN the south, the rural south. I have room to make many comparisons on that.

I think he's calling the arrogant ones who think they are pulling one over on "simple Southerners", gullible. They really think they are getting away with something.
I do think he's onto to something when it comes to conservative values and geography. However, I find conservative roots in what I would call the "heartland" and not just the South. Like others have said in different threads, "Southern mentality" can be found all over the U.S.
Since a lot of Southerners are conservative, the terms become interchangable. While not always correct, it's usually on the mark. I equate liberalism with both coasts and large metropolitan cities like L.A. or NYC. Those are decidedly not "Southern" places. We're all guilty of generalizing.
And you're right about liberalism and a sense of entitlement having deep roots in the South. But look at where that's happening - in places where liberals have a stranglehold on politics and the race pimps have a bully pulpit.

Number 1. You have lived down here long enough to know that I don't mean ALL yankees.
Number 2. I didn't say only southerners are conservative, I said conservatives hold predominantly southern values which come from us being behind the times down here. All I ask is that you don't twist my words.
Number 3. Your dead on point about the welfare state down here. I can't elaborate more on that because I've been warned about my views there. P.S. Welfare is on the way out, they're all getting disability now.
-
Right, you did say that true conservatives hold southern values...which I suppose was not the same thing as how I originally took what you said. I apologize for that.
I still disagree with that though, because it sounds like you are giving southern values full credit for conservatism.
Your signature consists of a quote from the original Conservative himself, the Great Abraham Lincoln :bow: , and he was born in Illinois, as was Reagan.
One show I used to watch growing up that I felt had a conservative "tone" to it was Little House on the Prairie...the midwest today is predominantly conservative.
I think when you say "southern values", you are referring to family values, specifically, Christian values, and morals...and the right to private property.
Personally, I did not care for Mike Huckabee At.All., because he was a phony...but sure was a big Christian...yet the majority of the deep south chose him in the primaries.
You are right about the south now cashing in on disability...and I personally knew someone who purposely burned their trailer down just so they could have a new house built :whatever: That is very typical.
But, there are many very charming things about the south, which is why I personally prefer it over the north, any day.
On the other hand, I will say that the work ethic in the south stinks, and I have been hired for jobs in the south, where I had NO experience whatsoever specifically because my northern background (and therefore work ethic) was the appeal.
But, to say that true conservatism has southern values is as true as saying that true conservatism has midwestern values, because that is saying that "family value" and "morals" originated in the south, when that is hardly the case. Don't try to take the credit for such things.

I figured you just took that wrong. No harm, no foul.
I still disagree with that though, because it sounds like you are giving southern values full credit for conservatism.
Not full credit, but we're looked down on for not keeping up with the times. Simple values, like you said, Family, Christ, Honesty, Hard work (we don't call welfare queens southerners, we don't even call them welfare queens).
Your signature consists of a quote from the original Conservative himself, the Great Abraham Lincoln :bow: , and he was born in Illinois, as was Reagan.
I'll give you Reagan, but Lincoln was not a conservative. It's thanks to him that the federal government has it's hands in every facet of our lives.
One show I used to watch growing up that I felt had a conservative "tone" to it was Little House on the Prairie...the midwest today is predominantly conservative.
You're right, for the most part midwest and south are interchangeable.
I think when you say "southern values", you are referring to family values, specifically, Christian values, and morals...and the right to private property.
Personally, I did not care for Mike Huckabee At.All., because he was a phony...but sure was a big Christian...yet the majority of the deep south chose him in the primaries.
Neither did I. Personally, I was for Fred. Jimmy Carter was from about an hour from where I live, and that's what I saw when I looked at Huckabee.
You are right about the south now cashing in on disability...and I personally knew someone who purposely burned their trailer down just so they could have a new house built :whatever: That is very typical.
There are crooks everywhere. I work in insurance, so that one is no shock to me.
But, there are many very charming things about the south, which is why I personally prefer it over the north, any day.
On the other hand, I will say that the work ethic in the south stinks, and I have been hired for jobs in the south, where I had NO experience whatsoever specifically because my northern background (and therefore work ethic) was the appeal.
The working people down here are some of the hardest working people you'll ever meet. Unfortunately, there are fewer than there used to be. Not knocking your work ethic, but some people down here do think having a northern background makes you more educated.
But, to say that true conservatism has southern values is as true as saying that true conservatism has midwestern values, because that is saying that "family value" and "morals" originated in the south, when that is hardly the case. Don't try to take the credit for such things.
I never said they originatd in the south, I'm saying that they are still stronger in the south. i have lived up north, too. And on the average there are ALOT more immoral goings on up there. Down here the churches still hold alot of power in the small towns.
And just for the record, Atlanta is not the south. Ask any southerner.

I have to agree. I came over from Louisiana in 1999 and was rather surprised at what I saw.
Atlanta is not a southern capital by any means, at least not anymore.
If you want a city that represents the South, I'd say Savannah does a far better job.

As far as the major cities, Savannah is it. But for true southern culture, stop in one of the small towns during a local festival. We just had ours this past weekend.

You guys hit on something that LL briefly mentioned upthread. Liberal strongholds in the South. Memphis, Atlanta and I'm sure a few others top my list as places that tend to be more moonbatty than the rest. I blame the Democrats and race pimps who have worked very hard at stoking the fires amongst the professional victim class. I grew up in and around Memphis. It's really gone downhill over the last 20 years. Both sides of my family have been there for 75+ years. My dad has worked for the county government for 38 years. It's sad to see such a wonderful, vibrant city be ruined. And the blame can be laid squarely on racial politics and people who think Obama's pastor is just speaking truth to power.

Despite Savannah being one of the few major Southern cities, it's becoming a moonbat territory too, with Obama and Ron Paul supporters everywhere. :(
Chatham County, especially, is heavily Democratic from what I've seen.
I don't want to see this beautiful city go the way of Memphis.

I know LL will sting me up for this, but Atlanta gets worse and worse the more yankees move there.
On edit: Not every Yankee that moves there, but the big city N.E. types.

Well, I could start sputtering about "State's Rights," "It Was Never About Slavery," "Lincoln Was Evil" and then you could merge like 10 or 15 threads... ;)

Well we do have a lot of Southerners on CC. :-)
And what's happening in major metropolitan areas across the South is very relevant to the topic at hand.
(And no, I'm not talking about them damn Yankees! I'm talking about Obama's racial politics, liberalism v. conservatisim, etc...)

Memphis, Atlanta and I'm sure a few others top my list as places that tend to be more moonbatty than the rest. I blame the Democrats and race pimps who have worked very hard at stoking the fires amongst the professional victim class. I grew up in and around Memphis. It's really gone downhill over the last 20 years. Both sides of my family have been there for 75+ years. My dad has worked for the county government for 38 years. It's sad to see such a wonderful, vibrant city be ruined. And the blame can be laid squarely on racial politics and people who think Obama's pastor is just speaking truth to power.
Despite Savannah being one of the few major Southern cities, it's becoming a moonbat territory too, with Obama and Ron Paul supporters everywhere. :(
Chatham County, especially, is heavily Democratic from what I've seen.
I don't want to see this beautiful city go the way of Memphis.
Why are all the threads becoming about the South? I am getting the feeling CC stands for "Confederate Conservatives."
What the hell? I was merely saying that the areas are going DEMOCRAT. What's wrong with discussing that?
Oh great, do I have to walk on egg shells around the Yankees here now? :whatever:
Yes, they are very touchy and senstive. :-) And I was wondering how a Ann Coulter thread turned into a damnyankees/southern thread. I don't hate ALL yankees, just the rude snotty ones who is ignorant of their history.

And just for the record, Atlanta is not the south. Ask any southerner.
I never said that it was, and other than the climate and geography, it is not "southern."
The Florida panhandle is, i.e. Panama City and Tallahassee. I lived there for a total of 5 years, and my husband was born and raised there, and he lived there his whole life. He *is* a southerner, no questions asked. I had to ween him off the sweet tea, because that stuff stains your teeth. And naturally, my husband calls Atlanta Yankee land...and *I* recognize it as not being southern.
My paternal grandmother was from Burmingham, Alabama...and she had the thickest southern drawl I have ever heard. Her husband, my grandfather too was from Alabama. I spent a lot of time with them, and my other set of grandparents when I was growing up, in Virginia.
And for the record, many Yankees don't just believe anything a southernor would say just because they have a southern drawl and talk sweetly. Yankees tend to think that someone with a southern accent is stupid, and that is a stereotype of a southern accent. I recently bought the Smurfs , which is akin to The Seven Dwarfs (with the characters)...and the dummy Smurf, "Dopey", has a southern accent. That too is very offensive to me, as is the Yankee superior, smarmy, bigoted attitude towards southernors. It goes both ways for me.

I guess you selectively skipped his post on the pet peeves thread in the lounge...or rather, you agreed with what he said :whatever:

Me too. Don't mess with southern pride boy, lest you get whipped back into place :hammer:

I have to agree. I came over from Louisiana in 1999 and was rather surprised at what I saw.
Atlanta is not a southern capital by any means, at least not anymore.
If you want a city that represents the South, I'd say Savannah does a far better job.
Nashville is pretty southern.
Can't disagree with that. :)
I know that and recognize that as being southern, since my brother and his family have lived there now for 2.5 years, and they lived in Chattanooga for 6 years.
I will also add that my father lives in the Florida panhandle (which is lower Alabama), and he grew up in Alabama...and his brother, my uncle and his family, has lived in Raleigh for about 30 years. They have a very strong southern background, as does my father.

LL breathe............................take another deep breath.............okay, better??
So who threw grandma under the Trailways on King street??

YOU made this thread about the South, not me, not anyone who is a southerner, YOU:
I am coming back to this thread RebelYell, because I took your bait in the lounge where you said that you think Yankees are so gullible, that if you tell them anything with a southern drawl, they will believe it...
I am astonished that YOU laud Ann Coulter, who is SO not a southerner.
Do you think she too is gullible and would be fooled by your southern drawl?
-
That's right, Rebel, *I* did...calling you out here, on something that you said in the Lounge. You made a gross generalization and stereotype that Yankees are gullible, as they believe annnyyytthhiiiinnggg a southernor says, so long as they have a drawl.
You lauded Ann Coulter here, a Yankee, and I just wanted to see if you were consistent with what you said in the Lounge about Yankees....and you were not.
What I have since learned from you here is Ann=not gullible and is therefore mutually exclusive from the rest of the Yankees who are gullible to southernors with a drawl :whatever:
I learned much more from you as well...as well as I learned more about some other people too...things that I already figured about them anyway :werd:
I am sure you all learned about me as well.

Yes, I have learned something about you. You are far more thin skinned than I thought. My buddies that are from up north don't gat all pissy when I say the same things to their face as you do on a frickin message board. They get the srcasm behind all. Maybe it just don't carry over well through the internet. If you'll look back on here and CU (Sam Fisher) you'll see that I have posted from Ann the whole time I've been posting. Hell, I wish she had her own show. I'm not so ignorant to think that all of anybody is anything.
Just don't take a thread off topic nd then bitch about the thread being about what you made it about.

You made the comment, not just once, but twice on the thread in the lounge, and it was an ugly thing to say...really, it was. You can think I am thin-skinned for it, but it was a downright rude thing to say.

If it came acroos as I would like to lynch all the Yankees,I apologize. I have to remember that I can't type things exactly the way I'd say them. And that the culture difference won't allow me to speak to people from all over the world the way I would my local friends and neighbors. I don't come here to start a flamefest. You can ask anybody. I just speak my piece and let that be it. I don't try to hurt feelings. I just didn't like the way you jumped down my shit out of the blue. Should have been brought up in the other thread.

Take a deep breath everybody.

I'm fine. Like I said, I just say what I think. If it comes across different then I'll try to clarify it. As far as I'm concerned, it's done and over with.

Off topic, (I know I just said something to you about getting off topic, but do as I say not as I do :-)) but I just noticed your avater. All this time, at a glance, I thought it was a guy on a motorcycle. :mental:

That's enough from you, missy. You "take-a-deep-breathers" with your forced peacemaking. Maybe we don't want peace. Maybe we want to bicker, who are you to dictate otherwise!?!?! :bolt:

Oh great, do I have to walk on egg shells around the Yankees here now? :whatever:
Yes, they are very touchy and senstive. :-) And I was wondering how a Ann Coulter thread turned into a damnyankees/southern thread. I don't hate ALL yankees, just the rude snotty ones who is ignorant of their history.
I guess you selectively skipped his post on the pet peeves thread in the lounge...or rather, you agreed with what he said :whatever:
Oh chill. That was not about you.

Who else was it about then, who are "they"? And obviously, it was me who turned this thread into a "damnyankees" [sic] thread as, I fully admitted I did. You said that just to fan the flames in order to join your comrades.
Btw, this thread has been hashed out, but you just regenerated it.
That would be " who *are* ignorant of their history", not "who*is* ignorant of their history."
Hey, if you are going to join in to stir the pot, at least have the sack to admit that instead of trying to backpedal your way out of it. It only makes you look foolish.
