Just a quick post about racism as I read a headline where an MSNBC host says "hard-worker is racist when Republicans say it". Ha, this reminds me of another article I read where someone claims that racism is more prevalent on the Right than the Left. Hm, I wonder why that is?
Is racism really a Right-wing problem? Are they just inherently more racist than everyone else? Is the left-leaning liberal an enlightened, evolved human being, a shinning example to the world? Hardly.
See, what happens is the Left actually believe they are standing on the moral high ground high a-top their high-horse. At this peak, no-one could see things as clearly as they can. So they actually believe the things they say, do and think are not racist.
I've heard Bill Maher, a major left-wing pundit, say "It's not racist if we say it". Those were his exact words. He's said it multiple times so its not a misunderstanding. They actually believe things they say aren't racist yet, they attribute ordinary, everyday words like "hard-worker, clean, articulate ...." to be hidden racist code words. and we all oooo'd and ahhhh'd.
So thats how the Right has become the racist party. Even though MSNBC is constantly going on air to apologize for their racist remarks, even though Raven Samone and to apologize recently about her racist statements made on The View, even though if you get into an argument with a liberal they won't hesitate to call you all manner of bigoted names, the Right is the real racist party because how could anyone hold a candle to Leftwing moralism?

Its been awhile since I've posted. I guess I'm not too interested in developing a cult following on my blog, rather I just need an outlet for all the political speech that tends to heap up inside. I'd rather not post it on a social media outlet for fear of offending someone. Yes, I do fear that. I am not so sure politics is worth losing friends over. I'm not the type to say, either you're with me or against me and then proceeds to isolate myself among only like-minded individuals.
I like contrasting views. It is hard for most people, in my experience, to handle a contrasting viewpoint. People get very emotional about things and feel challenged when someone says something that is not confirming to their bias. I really think a lot of this emotion is based in fear. Fear that they are wrong, won't be able to adequately handle the debate, or they might have to change their worldview.
This insecurity is something I've dealt with before. I know what is going on in the minds of many people because I've been there. If we don't face our ideological fears, we won't ever be able to stand a real conversation that involves varying viewpoints without it descending into fisticuffs. Man I hate fisticuffs. Mainly you know you've reached the lowest point when someone starts making the conversation/debate about you personally, busting out name calling, accusations et al...
I once had a conversation, via FB, about capital punishment. I tried batting around the facts a little bit and when I made it clear I wasn't an easy, uninformed average joe, the name calling started. I was accused of bloodlust and being downright stupid. Of course only an idiot would be for CP. I tried to keep the conversation from being derailed but once you get a liberal riled up, theres no off switch until they feel like they've achieved the moral high ground which they make claim to. I believe they honestly think that no-one can even approach their sense of morality and if they feel the least bit threatened they are ready to throw down (usually that is verbal throw down).
At any rate, this may be boring for you but it has allowed me to get this off my chest. Cheers, best of luck. I am watching the Presidential primary race closely these days. Don't even get me started on Trump. The dudes a clown at a train wreck and everyones' just watching the show. I am really leaning toward Ben Carson. Seems levelheaded and smart enough to handle the job.
So long for now.
