   So why is anyone voting for Obama?

   Let them call me a racist. I recognize it for what it is: projection.

   As my father says (and as the fathers and mothers of others at this blog most probably say): What an “educated” idiot.

   Another example, folks, that indicates the sheer, complete futility of attempting to have a rational, real-debate-type (as I remember from debate club in high school) argument with holders of the opposite worldview: It’s like trying to defend yourself at your trial, when you’ve been accused of witchcraft.
   Again, I recommend watching Rebecca (Elizabeth Taylor) try to defend herself at her trial in the movie “Ivanhoe”.
   (Yes, I read the book; but that was ~40 years ago.)

   The only positive thing I can see from an Obama victory is the contortions the various liberal groups are going to have to go through to try and please each other. It could get hilarious at times. (In a sick, pathetic sort of way.)

   Colin Powell,
   When you called Obama a “transformational” candidate, did you know that the Summary of the Program of the Communist Party USA is:

   The problems of exploitation, oppression, and survival facing humankind can only be solved, ultimately, by the elimination of the exploitative system of capitalism. Our survival depends on a transformation to socialism. The U.S. working class, with a long revolutionary history and many powerful mass movements and organizations, has the potential to make this transition happen. That means building unity for peace, for protecting and expanding democracy, for living-wage jobs, for universal health care, for real equality for all those who are nationally or racially oppressed and women, for an end to the political control of the ultra-right over our political institutions, and for an end to the economic rule of the transnational corporations. Building and strengthening organizations of and alliances between the working class and its allies, winning real unity in the course of struggle, is the path from our current struggles towards socialism.

   A Communist Party is essential for Marxists to test revolutionary theory through practice. We are not a debating society wrangling over obscure texts. We are a political movement, and we welcome all who accept our program. As Marx said, “The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point, however, is to change it.” The Communist Party USA is about changing the world.

    I wish I could claim this prose… Thought I would share anyway.

    ‘Twas the night before elections
    And all through the town
    Tempers were flaring
    Emotions all up and down!

    I, in my bathrobe
    With a cat in my lap
    Had cut off the TV
    Tired of political crap.

    When all of a sudden
    There arose such a noise
    I peered out of my window
    Saw Obama and his boys

    They had come for my wallet
    They wanted my pay
    To give to the others
    Who had not worked a day!

    He snatched up my money
    And quick as a wink
    Jumped back on his bandwagon
    As I gagged from the stink

    He then rallied his henchmen
    Who were pulling his cart
    I could tell they were out
    To tear my country apart!

    On Fannie, on Freddie,
    On Biden and Ayers!
    On Acorn, On Pelosi
    He screamed at the pairs!

    They took off for his cause
    And as he flew out of sight
    I heard him laugh at the nation
    Who wouldn’t stand up and fight!

    So I leave you to think
    On this one final note-
    IF YOU DONT WANT SOCIALISM
    GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!

    Agreed.
    As I’ve posted before, I was a (public) high school-Harry, and went to the state University.
    I then went to an Ivy League medical school; where I was not in the least impressed by my classmates, possibly the majority of which had attended that particular, or another, Ivy League school (as I remember, all the “Ivies” were represented), or other “prestigious” schools for undergrad study.
    It is not that I was better prepared than they; however, I was at least as well prepared as any of them.

    Also, glad to see you escaped from the futile struggle of attempting rational discussion with the troll at the other thread.
    It’s so hard to rationally discuss with a projecting, immature, adolescent holder of the wrong, existentialist, statist/socialist worldview.
    Nonetheless, kudos to you for the brave attempt!

    BTW, does that troll like you?
    I noticed that yesterday and today, that individual addressed you as “sweetie”.
    Also used by that individual yesterday were “cupcake” and “guy”.

    So we get one step closer to reparations, another liberal nutcase idea. Just like gay marriage, those that warned 20 years ago things like could someday be a reality were derided as paranoid right-wing nuts, yet here we are a step away from having reparations mongers at the highest levels of government.

    I’m not sure if I’m a racist, or not. Is there a litmus test or something? I need to know. If I’m a racist, I might as well vote for McCain. If I’m not, then according to the prof I will be if I vote for Barry. So I wouldn’t want to do that. So I guess I have to vote McCain no matter what. I don’t want to be a racist.

    Time & time again you hear the charge from Obama supporters that if you’re White and against voting for Obama, you’re racist.

    However, the Obama campaign continually expounds that this the first chance for a black man to be elected President…directly calling for support solely along racist lines. A campaign tactic of a racist concept in of itself!

    As such, any black voting for Obama, is endorsing & supporting a openly racist concept. Ironicly, to prove that racism dosen’t exist, a black person would have to reject Obamas rallying call to the black community which in reality, will never happen.

    While race should have the least weight in a voters decision process, and a candidates character, integrity and experience carrrying the most, in this election, the complete opposite is true.

    Don’t be fooled, every other issue in this election is pure smoke & mirrors… Black RACISM against Whites is the driving force of the Obama campaign. IMHO

    It wasn’t the observation that was racist. The problem was the conclusion you drew from that observation.

    Let’s take your assertion as true (that there are no examples of effective government by black persons). It does not follow that because no black person has been able govern effectively in the past, that no black person can govern effectively.

    Anyone who refuses to vote for a black politician because black politicians have failed in the past, is racist. They are making judgments about that individual politician based on their race and based on other individuals of that race. That’s pretty much the definition of racism.

    I was wondering if it was an attempt to aggravate or a projection of their sexuality.

    I believe only one of them used all those terms.
    And yes, projection was definitely the first term that came to my mind!

    As far as an attempt to aggravate – my reply would be:

    D’ya think?!

    or,

    a conflation of two similar responses (no disrespect intended to His Holiness, the spiritual leader of the sister Church to my Church):

    Does the Pope $%!& on wild bears?

    There is something really strange about those two trolls.

    Well, they are both actively annoying – i.e., as mentioned yesterday, they are both probably the types that in high school tried their damnedest to annoy others, and probably then got deservedly, repeatedly beaten up.
    I hate to say that last part; but, hey, life can be tough, and sometimes “unfair”…as ?John Wayne? said, “Life is hard – it’s even harder when you’re stupid.”

    As far as strange, I agree they are both condescending, and clearly “believe their own press” as to how brilliant they are; and as to how much wiser and more intelligent they are than the rest of us.

    One somewhat more than the other sits in a figurative viewing chair; above, and removed from, us the rabble; and dispenses witty & clever (in the individual’s mind), wise-ass comments and pronouncements (waiting for the demand to produce documentation of said comments in 5,…4,…3….).

    Both also strive mightily to dismiss, and to ridicule the concerns others here may have about events, situations, and topics discussed at this blog. These tactics of dismissiveness and ridicule, along with obfuscation, sophistry, confusion, diversion, subject-changing, etc; bring to mind the cliche, “The best trick the devil’s ever played is convincing the world that he doesn’t exist.”
    Similar tactics employed, perhaps?

    At least one of these individuals is an attorney (wow! there’s a surprise!); the other also at times sounds very much like an attorney.

    But only that other sounds also really “strange”, in addition to just plain annoying.

    Checks on ‘Joe’ more extensive than first acknowledged

    A state agency has revealed that its checks of computer systems for potential information on “Joe the Plumber” were more extensive than it first acknowledged.

    Helen Jones-Kelley, director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, disclosed today that computer inquiries on Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher were not restricted to a child-support system.

    The agency also checked Wurzelbacher in its computer systems to determine whether he was receiving welfare assistance or owed unemployment compensation taxes, she wrote.

    Jones-Kelley made the revelations in a letter to Ohio Senate President Bill M. Harris, R-Ashland, who demanded answers on why state officials checked out Wurzelbacher.

    Harris called the multiple records checks “questionable” and said he awaits more answers. “It’s kind of like Big Brother is looking in your pocket,” he said.

    If state employees run checks on every person listed in newspaper stories as buying a business, “it must take a lot of people a lot of time to run these checks,” he said. “Where do you draw the line?”

    The checks were run after the news media reported that Wurzelbacher was considering buying a plumbing business with more than $250,000 in annual income, Jones-Kelley wrote.

    “Given our understanding that Mr. Wurzelbacher had publicly indicated that he had the means to purchase a substantial business enterprise, ODJFS, consistent with past departmental practice, checked confidential databases ,” she wrote.

    “Not surprisingly, when a person behind in child support payments or receiving public assistance is receiving significant media attention which suggests that the person appears to have available financial resources, the Department risks justifiable criticism if it fails to take note and respond,” Jones-Kelley wrote.

    This makes perfect sense, doesn’t it? I mean, when “the polls” show that 93% or more of a given “black” population is voting for the “black” candidate, how is that not racist? Can’t one assume that they will be voting for Obama, not because he has the experience, but because, as Obama puts it, “This is the moment WE have been waiting for!”

    I understood that when Obama used “we” in that context, he was not meaning “liberals.” He was clearly alluding to the fact that the black population finally had a black candidate that could get voted in to power. That is racist!

    And (to answer others), graduating Harvard is a real accomplishment that takes talent and hard work. Graduating Bob Jones University takes only a pulse.

    Refer to my post above, clown.
    I’m sure others have similar stories.

    I’m proud to say that, after being admitted to graduate school in a “hard” science department at Harvard, and being called at my home (to discuss possibly working in that individual’s research group) by someone who, 15-20 years ago, won the Nobel prize in this “hard” science; I turned Harvard down when I decided instead to go to medical school.

    Not tooting my horn, folks; just telling the clown to blow it out his ***.

    A name school may help the mediocre, “legacy” student, who manages only a “Gentleman’s C” average, to get that starter job at Dad’s roommate’s brother in-law’s company.

    But, after a while, the company is not going to care where the mediocrity went to school; the company is, in effect, going to ask the mediocrity, “What have you done for us lately?”

    Refer to Robert J. Samuelson’s article in Newsweek ~9 years ago (before we canceled that leftist cheerleader): “The Worthless Ivy League?”

    School accomplishment depends predominantly on the character and effort of the individual student.
    A hardworking achiever at a “second-tier” or “third-tier” school (whatever those terms mean) will do just fine.
