I used to be a black liberal and now I’m a black conservative. I know what it took to make that transition. Republicans loving me to death and never offending me didn’t do it, I can tell you that. Perhaps the NY Post should have thought a second time before publishing that cartoon, but without it there wouldn’t be blacks right now who are seriously wondering why on earth any African Americans choose to get upset over something like this when there’s so much going on in the world that we should really be concerned about. That’s the way black conservatives come to be: they’re forged, they don’t normally see open arms from conservatives and feel comfortable with the transition.
The taxpayers decrying President Obama's economic policies know that the policies being put into place right now are the product of a Democratic leadership (House/Senate/White House) that’s about as schizophrenic as a chimpanzee whacked out on Prozac, chocolate, and wine. The taxpayers who are protesting wouldn’t put it that way, because some people on the left would ignore the true message and focus on the “safest” interpretation (for them), but that’s the way it really is.
Whether or not the NY Post cartoon was insensitive or drawn out of veiled racism, the basic problem we have still exists: abominable legislation is not drawn up and signed by good legislators. It's pushed through by bad legislators who don't understand their roles in society.
I LOVED the Rick Santelli CNBC Chicago Tea Party video because it very clearly spoke to the laughable (if it weren’t so painful) nature of the economic policies of this administration. I only wish they were serious about holding one.
