If you’ll re-read the diary you’ll see I noted his “less than complete blackness” from the very beginning.

In my inbox Sunday morning was an email from the President of the United States. He is a black man, or at least black enough that he feels compelled to cast his election in terms of America’s repudiation of racism. Obviously, such a position has its taproot sunk deeply into the history of slavery in our country. Which begs the question.

The point is not that he is a black man. In truth, at 12%, I am almost as black as he is. The point is that Obama, the media and the Left and on and on are harping on his blackness. To them, he is 100% black. Which is fine. I don’t really care.

But the question is still valid. How can this black man justify his enslavement of a nation given the history of blacks in America?

The White House occupant is not black. His mother was white, so he is a combination of ingredients product.

You certainly cannot call a Zebra black or white, but both and neither.

Additionally, Zebra’s are not a native species to the United States.

He comes by it honestly. Remember – his ancestors, on his mother’s side, were documented slave owners. On his father’s side, as ruling class, Muslim, East Africans, there’s a very good chance they were slave traders. Maybe we need to lay off the hate and realize that he is merely a victim of his heredity.

While chains were not used as they lived on a big island and kept in such poverty and they could not own land and worked for the landowners who were nobles but must pay tax to the crown for the land assigned to them. See “Brave Heart” which is Hollywood’s version history to realize the price it takes to gain freedom. Blacks were certainly not the only slaves. And now a black man is taking them down and everyone else at the same time.

the “rich” (people who make $200,000 or more) will have to begin paying 45% in federal taxes to pay for “health care for all”. Then you’ve got state taxes and all other taxes.
Before all is said and done, some will be paying 50%-60% of their salaries to the government–whether they agree with how their money is spent or not. If that’s not slavery, I don’t know what is.

The scary part is……that still won’t be enough and if people let them, they won’t stop until they take everything we have. These people HAVE to be stopped!!

in his memoir, “My Grandfather’s son,” and said when a friend challenged him with this idea he finally woke up and started understanding the ideals of conservatism.

Once the gubmint, at all levels, takes mores than say, 25% of my income, I have become enslaved to them.

I will gladly provide up to 25% to allow for national defense, state troopers, garbage, collection, fire police and the courts. It is more than enough if used responsibly.

Again, the problem is that TOO MUCH MONEY GOES TO DC! Sorry for the capitals.

Corruption inevitably follows, as everyone from municipalities to states subject themselves to greater and greater servitude to get “their share” of the dole. It must stop.

To understand their mindset, one must see it as they do:

Politics is the new religion.
Gubmint is the new church.
The Law is the new scripture.
Sex is the new sacrament.
(And of course we know who the new Annointed One is)

Plug in just about any action or philosophy by the Dems/Libs and it will fit into this formula.

As the inimitable G.K. Chesterton said:

““When men stop believing in God they don’t believe in nothing; they believe in anything.”

The Democrat Party is now and always has been the party of slavery and death.

It was my contention all along, that Obama’s election was to put a black face on white Berkley Liberal policies.

Oh BTW, for those that don’t know I am black, so for those that are going to make the racism charge, they can shove it.

When I hear people talk of this, that’s the only reference made. I cannot remember if there is one race that have never been enslaved by another at some point in history, often by peoples of the same race.

Africans were sold into slavery by other Africans. Some of the first slaves in the colonies were the Irish headcount bound to servitude, most of whom were unwilling to be so shackled but were prisoners of one sort or another. The continent of Australia was settled using the labor of convicts from English prisons.

The Romans enslaved many in their quest to expand their empire. And so on throughout history.

This administration and liberals as a whole neglect history and concentrate on only the most superficial qualities to make their claims.
