My Agreement With Al Sharpton

By Semperpapa

My contempt for Rev. Al Sharpton and just about anything that comes out his pie hole is well known to anyone who has been reading my work, but today I must admit that finally, against all possible odds, I find myself in agreement with this charlatan.

During a special coverage on Fox News of the vote in the House on Sunday, March 21, on Obamacare, Sharpton stated that when the American people voted Obama into the Presidency, they may have voted for the “change” that Obama was proponent of, but really what the American people overwhelmingly voted for was Socialism.

"First of all, then we have to say the American public overwhelmingly voted for socialism when they elected President Obama," Sharpton said. "Let's not act as though the president didn't tell the American people - the president offered the American people health reform when he ran. He was overwhelmingly elected running on that and he has delivered what he promised."

And in all fairness, Al is absolutely correct.
Obama did not run his Presidential campaign by telling the people he was going to support American exceptionalism, or the Capitalist economic approach, or American standing in the world. He did not run on support for our Military, on insuring that National security was going to be paramount.
What Obama run his campaign on was the transformation of America. His record, as minimal as it was, clearly presented the radicalism of the man and his tendency to wanting to transform our economy from a Capitalist to a Socialist form, forcing self-reliance into the ground to replace it with dependency on the government and Obama.

The message Obama sent during the campaign was clear to any American who actually took the time to become knowledgeable about the man.
While the MSM would spin, cover and misrepresent the radical message coming out of the mouth of candidate Obama, they would exalt the man as the savior of the country, not much because his message, but because he represented the image of an anti-Bush.

Al Sharpton is correct in stating that the American people had the facts right in front of their eyes and chose to vote for the radicalism Obama impersonated. Those voters who cast a vote for Obama definitely knew, or should have known, the truth and surely agreed with his agenda.

Where my agreement with Sharpton ends is his argument about the issue of “majority” and the motivations behind Obama’s victory.

Sharpton states that the majority of the American people voted for a move toward Socialism that Obama promised. It is my contention that only a fraction of the 52% votes Obama got were truly motivated by ideological understanding and approval. In other words, I believe that only a small percentage of those voters really understood the message and agreed with it.
The remainder of Americans had much different motivations for casting a vote for Obama.

Part of them, like the American black population, voted for Obama because of his skin color, sort of a blind acceptance of the historical “must” that a black President represented, regardless of the man’s agenda.

Another portion voted for Obama out of guilt. These are white people so whipped by an onslaught of accusations of racism that they left behind any common sense, convinced that any possible opposition they could have toward Obama could not be based on ideological rejection, but had to be due to the color of his skin.
Truthfully, I feel that these people are racists, as their decision solely based on someone’s skin tone is testimony of it.
When the above are added to the mass of brainwashed college students who have been bombarded by their university professors with anti-American “facts” and the ignorant multitude that just wanted to be on the winning side of an historical election, the rest of the country finds itself in a serious process of radicalization.

Finding myself in agreement with Sharpton is a painful experience only comparable to a bad case of hemorrhoids. Thankfully my own common sense and my love for my country are the Preparation H the allow me to continue to remain positive. America will survive, because there are a lot more people who love her and are willing to serve her, the Military especially, than there are people who want to see her die. Time to get loud is NOW!

Love America, defeat Liberalism.

Just my thoughts.
