Doug, my dear husband, does not like the idea that in my last post I said if you are a "birther", or questioning the education of or the civility, or sending mean spirited emails daily about our current President that you are a racist. Sorry....but if the shoe fits.
WE all have deep seed racist or stereotype concepts that are a part of our upbringing. We have ideas that Asians are smart, Germans are hard-working, Latins are hot tempered. And for many, it appears that if a black man can rise to be President at a young age, well something has to be amiss somewhere, he just can't be that smart.
During the last few years of the Bush administration it became apparent to all that we as a nation had been misled into a war for questionable reasons. We ran up insurmountable debt as we quickly learned that current military tactics did not work against these middle eastern countries. They just didn't follow our rules! The interest on this debt is crippling us today.
BUT people at cocktail parties and in the middle of dinner parties did not foam at the mouth and announce loudly they "hated George W. Bush". People disagreed with decisions he made, they shook their heads in disgust, but they did not question if he were the real son of George Bush Sr. They didn't crawl into the cesspool of inconsequential, mindless dribble (yes I know Doug what word I am using) that has come out of the mouths and pens of many people once believed to be at least mildly intelligent.
If you are saying history will prove this to be the worse President we have ever had, if you find hatred burning in your soul (I actually know a woman who talks to her therapist of her hatred for the President), if you find yourself daily looking for negative comments and gleefully sending fictitious, ill-informed email after another to your friends, you need to look a little deeper into your Republican soul and have an honest evaluation. I don't believe you will like what you find.
