Was the Copenhagen Global Warming Summit Walk-Out a Win for the U.S.?


But, yes, I know: The above paragraph reads: "Blah, blah, blah ... racist, racism, racey-race-racism."

Now, let us actually transcend race for a moment. Apparently for Obama, "transcend" isn't a racial term so much as a euphemism for declaring victory. He says he wants to "turn the page" on the arguments of the '80s and '90s, by which he means conservatives should stop clinging to their guns and antiquated Sky God and join his cause.

He told Planned Parenthood he wants to stop "arguing about the same ole stuff," by which he means he wants people who disagree with his absolute support for government-funded abortion on demand to shut up already.

He doesn't want to argue about his pals from the Weather Underground who murdered or celebrated the murder of policemen and other Americans, he just wants everyone to agree no one should care.

In short, Obama and his disciples only demand one kind of transcendence from all Americans. We must, as Obama likes to say, unite as one people, one nation, one American family and transcend all of our misgivings about Barack Obama. Then, and only then, will The One fulfill his wife's pledge and fix our broken souls.

Only a racist could possibly disagree.

Speaking of racism
Could you imagine what would happen in this country if a black female VP candidate was treated the way white Sarah Palin has been treated?

A MOSTLY BLACK CABINET?
I have observed over the years that when a black official is elected into office, Sheriff, etc., they immediately set about hiring mostly blacks. Can we expect a mostly black Cabinet if BHO gets elected? This would severely go against the percentage of blacks in our population...some 12/13%. On the other side of the coin, if MCCAIN gets elected, he has promised to put some Dems on the Cabinet. And I believe it! Signed, Still free in Cajunland
