The Faces of Conservatism ~ Smartuckus Fends Off Race-Card Attack...AGAIN

Racial tension is nothing new, but based upon the goings-on in the media - namely the hysteria coming from the left – it appears as though such tension is getting worse since the election of the first black President. Conservatives rightly point out the Left’s obsession with race and the absurdity of the accusations of racism levied against conservatives whose only "crime" is to disagree with the Obama administration. Liberal black leaders go so far as to say that using the term “socialist” to describe Obama’s policies is tantamount to using the “N” word.

On September 11th of this year I wrote about Gertrude Baines, one of Obama’s supporters who had passed away from old age. She admitted to voting for Obama because of race, and the article I referenced mentioned her favorite foods: fried chicken, bacon, and ice cream.
Earlier today a liberal (who I must call "anonymous liberal" because he/she lacked the courage to provide a name) expressed offense, suggesting that my blog post was “racist and inflammatory,” apparently due to the old racial stereotype concerning fried chicken and watermelon. The poster indicated that such racism was “typical” of conservatives. (See for yourself: http://smartuckus.blogspot.com/2009/09/obama-loses-another-supporter.html#comments).

The only thing typical was the liberal’s lack of integrity and propensity to play the race card. Obviously the moron took my remarks out of their proper context. And to that moron I would like to say: I’ll bet you wish you would have read the article, don’t you!? Well, you can’t have it back now. Everyone gets to see that you are an idiot. And as I pointed out in my response, he (or she) was not the first person to accuse me of racism over that particular blog, and for the very same reason. But the first anonymous comment was so profanity-laden it was unsuitable for publication.

Conservatism is not racism. Allow me to illustrate. Senator Robert Byrd (Democrat, West Virginia) was a card-carrying member of the Ku Klux Klan. Liberals support him to this day. Senator Albert Gore Senior (Democrat, Tennessee) voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964. He gets a free pass in the annuls of time because his son is the pontiff of the eco-religionists. Neither of these men are (were) conservative.
On the flip side, here are the faces of a few conservatives:

Clarence Thomas, Supreme Court Justice, and one of my personal heroes.

James Golden, Producer and call-screener for the Rush Limbaugh radio show - yes, the RUSH LIMBAUGH radio show. He goes by the name Bo Snerdley.









Michael Steele, Chairman of the Republican Party

Michelle Malkin, conservative author and TV personality.

Walter Williams, Professor Emeritus George Mason University, author, and radio personality.



Are these the fces of some "good-'ol-white-boy" political party? I think not. And there are many more: J.C. Watts, Harry Alford, Michael Medved, Mark Levin, Mona Charen, and Alan Keyes just to name a few. Conservatism, contrary to how it is portrayed by hateful and small-minded liberals, embodies a set of principles that are common to the most diverse group of people. Conservatism is focused on the merits of a person's actions, and not the color of his skin.

Whoever you are "anonymous liberal," put that in your sock!
