A task we must all turn ourselves to:
Angie Harmon is not afraid to come out and say she doesn’t like how President Obama is handling the job — but she’s sick of having to defend herself from being deemed a racist.
“Here’s my problem with this, I’m just going to come out and say it. If I have anything to say against Obama it’s not because I’m a racist, it’s because I don’t like what he’s doing as President and anybody should be able to feel that way, but what I find now is that if you say anything against him you’re called a racist,” Harmon told Tarts at Thursday’s Los Angeles launch of the new eyelash-growing formula, Latisse. “But it has nothing to do with it, I don’t care what color he is. I’m just not crazy about what he’s doing and I heard all about this, and he’s gonna do that and change and change, so okay … I’m still dressing for a recession over here buddy and we’ve got unemployment at an all-time high and that was his number one thing and that’s the thing I really don’t appreciate. If I’m going to disagree with my President, that doesn’t make me a racist. If I was to disagree with W, that doesn’t make me racist. It has nothing to do with it, it is ridiculous.”
If Obama’s popularity takes a serious dip we can expect the MSM to start running a series of stories asserting that the latent racism of America is coming to the fore against Obama – while the MSMers are getting annoyed with Obama, the plain fact of the matter is that they are completely invested in him. If he winds up anything other than a tremendously popular, successful and thumpingly re-elected President, the MSM will feel that they let their side down. So, they will circle the wagons when it becomes necessary.
What we must do is stand up against this – no pussy footing around about it; when a liberal twit accuses a conservative of racism, the response must be swift and overwhelming condemnation of the liberal. Conservatives have to circle the wagon because the liberals want to separate us and defeat us one by one – they’ll hope to tag us, successively, as racists for opposing Obama in the hope that each one of us will be renounced by the larger conservative movement, thus fracturing the opposition. We can’t play that game – none of us are racists; heck, none of us has a racist bone in his or her body. The concept that conservatives are racists is a figment of liberal imagination – if there ever was any credibility to the idea it was more than half century ago; pre-Goldwater times, and even then it is doubtful that you can find people of definitive conservative views who would actually try to claim that some person was less than another on account of skin color. Whatever else we conservatives are, we’re not people who look at others based on the group they belong to – that is a liberal thing.
We’ve allowed ourselves for far too long to be tarred with the brush of racism – and its time we started to fight back, day in and day out, until this poisonous myth is laid to rest.
