Left-wing media states that if the country doesn't elect Barack Obama into presidency, we are clearly not ready for a black president. We are racist society.
So, now we're being bullied into voting for the unqualified now? Is this presidential race about the color of skin? Well, apparently it is for some people.
Statistics show that black voters have turned out in record numbers to vote for Mr. Obama. Why?
Why didn't they (yes, I said "they") turn out in record numbers to vote for....oh....Dole? Are these "revived" voters so overwhelmed by Obama's promise of change that they decided that, 'Hey, I'm gonna exercise my right to to vote this year'?
Riiiight. I don't think so.
Let me say this - I am not a racist, I think it's a waste of time and energy. If you are a true Christian, you know that we are all created equally in God's eyes, and treating any human lesser because of appearance and genealogy is ignorant at it's best. It's disgusting. It's wrong. God frowns upon it. I promise, He does.
So let's turn that around. Heaven forbid we say that the voters, who have never voted before, are rushing to the poles to vote for Obama are (gasp) racist! What kind of uninformed jackass, of ANY descent, votes for someone because they are of a "certain" color?
Yes, I understand that it is a pivotal and wonderful moment when a black or African American (whatever term you prefer) man is moments from becoming the president of the greatest nation on the planet. It is a BIG deal, his accomplishments are paramount from the perspective of racial achievement....but a presidential election isn't about that. I'm sorry, it's just not about THAT. It's not about a man reaching new heights. It's about a person creating unity among the people so that we can work together, and that person's goal should be leading a nation into safety and progression.
So back up and look at the big picture. Quit drawing lines between Americans and dividing us by sex, by color, by religion, or whatever else you can think of.
Be responsible - research your options and make an educated vote.
