Harry Reid

10 January 2010

News circles are going mad with the latest “scandal” about a racial statement made by Nevada senator Harry Reid during the Presidential campaign of 2008. According to a tell-all book about the elections called “Game Change”, Reid made a statement about then candidate Barak Obama chances of winning the race being good because he was a “light skinned” black man with “no Negro dialect” unless Obama wants to use it.

Reid and the Washington Liberals have gone on a massive damage control campaign since the news broke, culminating with Reid calling Obama personally and apologizing for the misguided words. Even black social leech and current slave driver Al Sharpton has come out in support of Harry Reid.
What is really amazing is the outrage coming out from the Right of the political spectrum, including RNC Chairman Michael Steele, who pointed out that there is a double standard employed by Democrats and that they can say anything they want and get a pass as soon as they utter an apology, while everyone else would be called a racist. Really, Mr. Steele? Double standard? And you just realized this?
Conservatives are calling for Reid’s resignation and all the related hoopla that can come up with, in a fashion of “gotcha ya” that is surely going to be useless and even counter-productive.

And now my thoughts on the matter.
I find absolutely fruitless all the noise that American Conservatives are making about this issue, sporting the attitude that the statement from Reid is such a shock, the outrage over the racist words so visceral that the man is not worthy of his position in Congress.
In the first place, the entire Liberal agenda championed by characters the like of Harry Reid is racist. People like Reid have made a very comfortable living exploiting racial divide in our country, insuring that American blacks would be told enough that they needed to be catered by politicians in order for their rights to be safeguarded. That might have been a reality in the 1960s but it is just a control strategy today.

Since my arrival into the United States, I have come across some characters that were extremely Liberal in their political views who were also the most appalling racists. One man who made a real good living selling insurance to union membership, overwhelmingly black, and consistently referring to them as Niggers. Another couple, Liberal, who snickered about selling their home to a black family in a predominantly white neighborhood. A very Liberal teacher who dressed all up for Jury Duty so to demonstrate to the judge that she was a professional and therefore her time was more valuable than that of the other riff-raff who reported. Another Liberal teacher openly stating that black should get all that they demand, which, if I was black, I would find terribly offensive.
Basically, it is my conviction, due to my personal experience, that Liberals are the real racists of the bunch, clinging to their hypocritical ideas of equality for all as long as they are in control and can reap benefits from it. And that’s where my opinion of Harry Reid is.

All the outrage over the senator’s statement is just misplaced and misguided, as he will not suffer any consequence for it and in just few days will be forgotten. But what cannot and should not be forgotten, and what the Conservatives of America should concentrate the most, is the terrible damage that Reid and company are perpetrating against America.
I laugh at the calls for Reid’s resignation over this incident. If Conservatives in Congress wanted the man to resign, they should have made the point when in 2007 he declared the war in Iraq lost, just as our troops were shedding their blood on the sand of that country. Does treason mean anything in America anymore? Why was the man allowed to remain in his position when he desecrated the blood and sacrifice of American troops solely for political gain?
And where was the call for the man to go away when nepotism and corruption became synonymous to his name? Or when he bribed other members of the Senate with taxpayers' money to get his agenda through? Or when he spearheaded the destruction of American health care system and 1/6 of American economy?

So, I call on the common sense Americans, especially black Americans, to not allow distractions the like of this controversy to fog up the fact that it is not a statement that should galvanize resistance against Reid and all those like him, but a concerted opposition to a Fascist ideology as it is espoused by characters like him and like Obama. They are the true racists today, aiming at keeping minorities, especially blacks, down and under control.
In 2008 Presidential elections, over 90% of American blacks voted for Obama. That is a constituency hard to let go. Keep that segment of the population dependent or racially charged and the political career is assured.
Personally, Harry Reid statement is not a revelation, but actually in line with my personal experience with Liberals. His drive toward the destruction of America's ideals and principles, on the other hand, should be targeted by all Americans.

And these are my thoughts!
