Why is it that, when I, as a white male, choose to vote for the male, white candidate whose philosophy is closer to mine and whom I believe will do a less bad  better job than the guy who is a different color than me, but whose philosophy is the antithesis of what I believe, am a racist, and that motivation is wrong….

Yet when they interview African-Americans, who overwhelmingly vote for the guy who looks like them, that is not racist, and is ok?

I mean, I have many reasons to vote against the statist, socialist, beta male weasel who wants to damage our economy further, who believes that my success is merely a cow to be milked, who thinks that “you didn’t build that”, who believes that those of us who make smarter decisions than some of our fellow citizens should pay for the plight of the rest, mostly which is of their own making. The color of his skin has nothing to do with my decision.  I am offended that anyone assumes that I would even consider that as a factor.

Yet I am further offended that it is understood and deemed ok for others to choose based on “his skin looks like me an my family”. I am offended by the fact that it is assumed that people of color will make the racist choice, and that one cannot expect any smarter behavior from them.

Yet, sadly, events seem to bear that out.

But why are their choices not racist, yet the choices of me and my brethren are? I do not think that I carry any significant prejudice, if any. I am sure that it is significantly less than that which I observe from others, be they black, white, latino or asian.  I care little what you look like, but rather believe in who you are and how you think and what you believe and how your morals mesh with mine and if your worldview matches in any way that of my own. If yer a lowlife, you’ll be treated as one. If not, you’ll get treated as a citizen. I choose to judge people by the “content of their character”, rather than “the color of their skin”.

Not so with many others whose melanin content is somewhat greater than my own. I abhor those who have a skin color like mine who judge others based on skin, and distance myself from them, There are too many whites who cannot get over skin color, and there are too many blacks who do the same. The ratio of racist Caucasians who vote based on skin color is much lower than the ratio of Negroes who vote based on the same criteria.  Yet the racist whites are derided and decried, but not so the racist blacks.

I find the fact that the bar is lower for people of black descent than that of whites. Strangely, I hold each group to the same standard, and believe that I am no more and no less intelligent than they. Obviously, some in the media and in the Democratic party feel differently.

I find that sad. Sad that racism still exists and that it is excused at any time. Sad that people of color cannot hold themselves to the same standard that they expect and wish for from whites.

How is it that the “New Black Pantherz” are so intimidating? They appear to be just standing there. So what?

I mean, if I were a 14 year old boy or a 17 year old girl, then yeah, I can see where they might be somewhat intimidating.

But an adult? Afraid enough of the scary looking black guy(s) dressed in semi-paramilitary black outfits (how cute)  that he/she chooses not to vote, or feels intimidated into choosing to vote for their candidate (how would they know?)

Look, I’m mot there, and I am not an inner city dweller, so maybe I don’t understand. But really, what’s the big deal?

If they chose to attempt to accompany me to the voting booth, then that is one thing. But unless they do, then what is the big deal? Just a couple of friends hanging out. It’s a free country. As long as they stay out of the polling place, let ’em. They aren’t breaking any laws until they force people to leave the area and not vote under the threat of violence…and I just haven’t seen that happening.

And if they choose to do so, the protect yourself,… deal with the threat by whatever means is necessary. After the first one bleeds out on the sidewalk figures out that you won’t let him intimidate you, the rest will get the message. Stand up and refuse to be cowed.

Else you are just a sheep.

When the citizens of the country decide whether they want more statism, more socialism, and less freedom.

Or if they want 4 more years of Obama’s agenda.

Seriously though, this election will, like few others, decide the direction of the country and its policies. Whether we choose as a whole to go down the path which Europe has already taken, or take another route to destruction.

No matter the outcome, expect cries of “fraud” ,”cheat” and “vote tampering”. Expect multiple recounts and maybe even court cases. Likely there will be cases full of (exclusively) votes for the blue team found in an election supervisors car the next day in Minnesota, Wisconsin and (of course) Chicago if things get close. Expect intimidation by the NAACP and/or Black Panthers (snicker, let ’em try that here) at polling places in the cities.

Oh, and depending on the outcome of the election, we shall see if those folks who promise to riot are men of action or not. I’m betting not, but I plan for riots. Just in case, if Obama loses, plan on staying away from potential hotspots, and pay close attention over the next few days. Leave quickly if a large group of “blue” folks get together and/or appear agitated.

You can’t reason with an angry crowd. Don’t bother to try. leave, or get out of sight.

Stay safe. Maybe keep your kids home from school if that seems necessary. Your call.

Me, I’m in a rural (more or less) area. I got no worries and a clear field of fire. Gonna work, go home, and watch things (un)fold.

Here is a list of the choices you have in Indiana.

Choose wisely.

There are likely to be shortages in the coming weeks!

Anheuser-Busch stops making beer, cans water for Sandy victims instead.

I wonder if I could buy couple of cases for long term storage?

Read now.

seems it is true.

Union solidarity…Over bringing power back to the residents so they can have light and heat and such.

Interesting set of priorities, ain’t it?
