A very prominent, very wealthy entertainer recently insulted women all across the country using terms not totally printable here. In describing a serious, politically active woman, he described her as a c***. On another occasion he described her as a “dumb tw**. When asked later if he had any regrets about what he had said he replied, “I’m not trying to hurt somebody’s feelings. But if you want me to say ‘I’m sorry, what I said was wrong,’ no, sorry, I can’t go there.”

He has since referred to the same woman along with another woman as MILFs (for those of you who may not be familiar with the term, just Google it).

This behavior should be condemned. President Obama was right when he said he wants a world in which his daughters can speak out without being attacked. He should call this woman and offer his support. The networks should be outraged! Advertisers should drop this guy like a hot potato! Damn those “woman hating conservatives!” Something has to be done.

What was the reaction in this case? Not what you might expect. A CNN evening show host shortly thereafter welcomed this entertainer with, “Your show is brilliant. I love watching it.” On MSNBC, “always great to have you on.” On a different MSNBC show, “It is nice to see you….I’m very excited….Thank you so much for being on with us…. It’s really nice to see you. Thank you.” Back to CNN…“I love your show. I watch you every week, and I really get irritated when they put you on hiatus.” And on Chris Matthews show,“You’re the funniest, smartest guy around….Thank you for coming on.” Were there any outraged advertisers? Nope, not a one.

Well, President Obama must have given these women a call to express his support for women’s right to be heard, yes? Well, in a word, no.

By now you may have guessed that this “entertainer” is not the conservative woman-hater you may have originally thought. He is Bill Maher; as left as they come. The women he insulted were Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann. Apparently, it’s OK to insult conservative women. No apology. No network outrage. No controversy.

It also turns out that Mr. Maher has donated $1 million to the Obama election campaign. Is President Obama going to keep $1 million given to him by a man who has referred to serious-minded political women as c***s, tw**s, and MILF’s and, if he is, how does he square that with his actions in the Sandra Fluke controversy? Did Sarah Palin get a phone call? Michelle Bachmann?

And this is not an isolated incident. Ed Schultz, on MSNBC called Laura Ingraham a “talk slut.” He is still working there and, predictably, one of the advertisers who saw fit to leave Rush Limbaugh’s show over the Fluke incident saw no such need to leave the Ed Schultz show. Still there.

In a very cool side note, Carbonite (the advertiser in question) saw their stock slide a mind-boggling 12% the day after they announced they were leaving Rush’s show and word came out that they were major liberal contributors. If you are currently using their service and are seeking an alternative I would like to recommend Sugarsynch.

Further incidents include Michelle Malkin being called “a mashed up bag of meat with lipstick,” Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison being called a “female impersonator,” and conservative commentator S.E. Cupp being referred to as “a perfect demonstration of the necessity of the work Planned Parenthood does.” Did you happen to hear any outrage about any of these insults to women? I bet not.

On a personal note, my own wife was insulted by an ex-friend when she expressed her opposition to Obamacare during the so-called “debate” on that issue. She was called a “bigot, racist, tea-bagger” among other things by a fairly senior staffer for Senator Dick Durbin. And make no mistake, “tea-bagger” is a sexually loaded insult (again, Google it if you’re not familiar). Perhaps Senator Durbin will be calling my wife soon to express his support for my wife’s right to speak without being attacked. I don’t think she will be holding her breath.

You shouldn’t worry about your daughters, President Obama. They have the protection of the Presidency and the Ministry of Truth “press” should they be attacked for speaking their views.

Unfortunately, my wife, my daughter, my granddaughter, and any woman reasonably attached to the word “conservative” do not.

During her testimony before Congress in which she wailed that she could not afford her contraception, Sandra Fluke said “Without insurance coverage, contraception, as you know, can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school.”  Three thousand dollars for three years.

As a public service to Ms. Fluke and all other women attending Georgetown University, this author would like to pass along a bit of information which should help you enjoy the sex life you are entitled to and have some significant money left over to help boost the collapsing Obamaconomy.

Washington D.C.  –  March 2, 2032

It’s hard to believe that it has been twenty years since Sandra Fluke broke down the stone-age barriers thrown up to prevent students obtaining free contraception but time flies when you’re… uh… having fun. Senator Fluke has now moved on to more serious issues (currently sponsoring a bill to provide free I-pads to those who have been out of work for more than five years) but we thought it would be appropriate to take a look back at the last twenty years and the other trailblazers who have testified before Congress regarding the cost of other voluntary activities on campus:

2014 – I.M. Bauzin complained before Congress that the cost to keep him in Starbucks coffee continued to rise and his job at the windmill would not let him keep pace. With coffee being such an essential part of the college study experience as well as being necessary mornings after binge parties Congress agreed and, as you know, all students now receive unlimited free coffee.

2015 – Ralph Keggar made history by citing Ms. Fluke’s precedent in his testimony before Congress stating that “Sex is a prevalent voluntary activity on campuses across the country. The only activity which might be more common is drinking beer. If the cost of sex is covered why not cover the cost of beer?” Congress agreed and, as you know, all college students now receive unlimited free beer.

2019 – Jack Schtrapp made the unique claim of discrimination against athletes when he testified that, as an avid intramural basketball player, he went through 4-5 pairs of basketball shoes per year. We all remember when he said “If our now Senator from California could receive free contraception based on a cost of $3000 over her time at school I am entitled to the same amount for my chosen activity.” President Obama, acting like he wanted to continue to reign for a fourth term, responded by ordering Nike (still in business at the time) to provide free sneakers to all college students.

2022 – In probably the most significant testimony other than Ms. Fluke’s, Destiny Bacchanalia said, “Like, what good is the contraception and beer coverage if one of the major reasons to have it is, like, out of my reach financially? Like, my average costs for spring break would be totally more than $3000 for my six years at school. I could, like, go through that in, like, one year! Like, what about fairness?” Congress agreed and all students enrolled since 2023 have had mandatory spring break coverage.

2025 – In his testimony, Obama Bott (yes, he was named after our amazing, visionary leader) said “I have had great difficulty just making it to and from school at the beginning and end of the semesters. I can’t take the Nissan Leaf; at 40 miles per charge it would take three weeks. Our Chevy Volt caught fire so I can’t take that. Unfortunately, my only alternative is to take the gasoline engine car. I would never ever want to use anything coming from those evil oil companies but I have no choice and with gas getting near $19.00 a gallon I just can’t see how I’m going to make this work” (Yes, believe it or not, gas was only $19.00 a gallon just seven short years ago). In his first year using his current title of “Great Leader,” Barack Obama ordered Exxon/Mobil to provide free fuel to all college students for beginning and end of semster travel. Remember Exxon/Mobil?

2031 – Finally, just last year, Puff Marx 2 testified before Congress and convinced them that all students should just have a “voluntary activities expense account.” In his testimony he said, “Why keep having all these hearings about college students needing free this or that? The precedent is now set in stone going all the way back to Sandra Fluke. Why don’t you save the cost of all these hearings. After all, we are now $137 trillion in debt. Just reimburse all voluntary activities of college students.” Congress agreed and, as you know, passed the Voluntary Dollars Act of 2031. Students just submit an annual expense report of their “voluntary activities to Government Accounting and it’s all paid for. Every student in America now has access to VD.

Can you believe how far we have come in such a short time? Thank you Sandra Fluke.

The raging controversy these days seems to be the Sandra Fluke testimony before Congress in which she stated that she simply cannot afford the contraception necessary for her to have the proper amount of sex. She doesn’t just want it to be easily available (and it is). She wants if for free and thinks the American taxpayer should pay for it. Rush Limbaugh once again tweaked the nose of the government media by linking Ms. Fluke to the definition of a “prostitute” (sex for compensation), they jumped at the bait, and the media frenzy switch is now in the “on” position. There are calls and petitions to have Rush removed from the air, leftists everywhere are knocking each other down to get to a microphone, and even President Obama jumped into the fray by calling Ms. Fluke personally.

Let’s just step back for a moment and look at what is really happening here. First of all who is Ms. Fluke? The mainstream media would have you believe that she is the traditional “twenty-something” struggling law student, scratching and clawing her way through school, and getting by on the few meager dollars she can scrape together waiting tables while on summer vacation. Ms. Fluke is actually 30 years old. She is a grown woman. She chose to go back to law school at the age of 30. Not unheard of, but a little unusual. Why, you ask? More on that later, but suffice it to say she is not your typical college student. She is also out of step with most of her classmates at Georgetown.

One of her classmates, Angela Morabito said ” Sandra, we might be on the same campus, but we are not on the same planet.

Sandra told some sob stories about how contraception isn’t covered by the Jesuit institution we attend. (Maybe they don’t cover it because, you know, they’re a Jesuit institution. Religious freedom? Anyone? Bueller?)

A student group called Plan A H*yas for Choice staged a demonstration against the university health plan last year, duct taping their mouths and chaining themselves to the statue of Georgetown’s founder on the university’s front lawn. Then, a funny thing happened – nothing. We left them there. Now Sandra has chained herself to the sinking ship of Pelosi Liberalism. She will always be remembered as a Welfare Condom Queen.”

There are a few other facts about Ms. Fluke you will not see or hear in any of the “Obama re-election media” even though all of this is easily available at Georgetown Law’s website.” She received her undergraduate degree from Cornell University in Policy Analysis & Management, as well as Feminist, Gender, & Sexuality Studies in 2003.  What would that qualify Ms. Fluke to do? Seems to me the logical career choice with this background is political activist.  And so it is.

Also from the Georgetown Law website: “Through Georgetown’s clinic programs, Sandra has proposed legislation based on fact-finding in Kenya (interesting connection there) regarding child trafficking for domestic work, and has represented victims of domestic violence in protection order cases. Sandra is the Development Editor of the Journal of Gender and the Law, and served as the President of Law Students for Reproductive Justice, and the Vice President of the Women’s Legal Alliance.” To sum up, Ms. Fluke has a long history of political activism on behalf of traditional leftist causes.

And here’s a fact you will NEVER see or hear in the mainstream media. In one her first interviews Ms. Fluke is quoted as talking about how she reviewed Georgetown’s insurance policy prior to committing to attend and, seeing that it didn’t cover contraceptive services, she decided to attend with the express purpose of battling this policy. She is attending Georgetown for the very purpose of creating the controversy we are now witnessing.

This entire event was staged. She was asked to testify by Democrat members of Congress only. There were only Democrat members present during her testimony. Even the Huffington Post got it right by posting this: ”Fluke got the stage all to herself and was hailed as a hero by the crowd and Democratic lawmakers on the panel, all of whom rushed to appear on camera with her at the end. “Excuse me. I’d love to get a picture with our star,” Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) said as she pushed her way through the packed room to Fluke.”

What is the purpose of the Democrats staging this event now? Simple. Obama is in trouble if the country focuses on his record and the condition of the country. He and his propaganda press are trying to distract you from the crushing debt, the disaster of Obamacare, and the bleak future you will face should his destructive policies continue. Enter Susan Fluke and the phony contraception issue. Distraction.

If Rush Limbaugh was not engaged in satire and actually meant Ms. Fluke was a prostitute he would have been over the line. She is, however, a “prostitute” in a different sense. She is prostituting herself to the liberal cause. She is standing in front of the entire country making a complete fool of herself for future gain. She’s a 30 year old grown woman who is paying $23,000 a year in tuition and can’t afford contraception? She can’t figure out that Planned Parenthood (of which she is most likely a supporter) is giving out contraception on every street corner? Kids in 6th grade are being given free condoms and as a 30 year old law student she can’t find one?

What future gain might Ms. Fluke reap for her little stage show? You can bet there will be a political appointment in her future. Maybe even a book. Play ball with the Politburo and you will be rewarded. If you’re just an average Joe on the other hand you should have to pay for sex (someone else’s that is).

As the controversy swirls, remember this was all staged. This was no Fluke.

The watermelon hoax is coming apart at the seams. The green-on-the-outside, red on-the-inside “religion” disguising itself as climate science is losing its grip in both the real world and the world of information.

Solar companies are going bankrupt faster than Kim Kardashian can get divorced, scandals and kickbacks are obvious to those who will look, windmills are proving to actually require more hydrocarbon energy rather than less, ethanol is still a disaster, and the Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf have combined to sell a total of less than 10,000 vehicles (most of those to the government). Those 6000 or so who do own a Chevy Volt are being reassured by GM (Government Motors) that they will buy back their electric Edsels should they wish to sell them back due to risk of FIRE. And last week, Canadian Environment Minister Peter Kent told reporters “Kyoto is the past,”  describing the decision by Canada’s previous Liberal government to sign on to the protocol as “one of the biggest blunders they made.”

And now, as the Durban conference on climate is holding their annual meeting of the minds, a new release of internal e-mails from the climate alarmist clique is opening even more eyes to the greatest hoax in the history of mankind. There is really not much need to comment, so below are just a few of the quotes directly from the mouths of the creators (and defenders) of the now debunked “hockey stick” temperature graph. Remember, these are the so-called “scientists” cited as the experts whose predictions on the coming disaster of global warming cannot be questioned…

From Michael Mann, the king of global warming: “I pointed out to him that we certainly don’t know the GLOBAL mean temperature anomaly very well, and nobody has ever claimed we do (this is the question he asked everyone). There is very little information at all in the Southern Hemisphere on which to base any conclusion.”

From Keith Briffa: “I believe that the recent warmth was probably matched about 1000 years ago…”

From Tom Wigley to Keith Briffa: “Why don’t you give these people the raw data? Are you hiding something — your apparent refusal to be forthcoming sure makes it look as though you are.”

From Thomas Crowley: “I am not convinced that the “truth” is always worth reaching if it is at the cost of damaged personal relationships.”

Tom Wigley again: “Quantifying climate sensitivity from real world data cannot even be done using present-day data, including satellite data.”

From Wigley to Mann:  “Mike, The Figure you sent is very deceptive […] there have been a number of dishonest presentations of model results by individual authors and by IPCC…”

From Jagadesh Shukla: “It is inconceivable that policymakers will be willing to make billion-and trillion-dollar decisions for adaptation to the projected regional climate change based on models that do not even describe and simulate the processes that are the building blocks of climate variability.”

Phil Jones, referring to Michael Mann: “Mike did pad his data a little at the ends and beginning to get common periods, but only by a maximum of 10 years.”

From Trevor Davies regarding an “alliance” with Goldman-Sachs:“We (Mike H) have done a modest amount of work on degree-days for G-S. They now want to extend this. They are involved in dealing in the developing energy futures market. G-S is the sort of company that we might be looking for a ‘strategic alliance’ with.”

Strategic alliances in the energy futures market? Deceptive presentations? The truth is not worth reaching? Padded data? Can’t make a conclusion on the Southern Hemisphere? Models do not describe climate variability? It’s over folks. The watermelon is in the road.

In a period of seven short days the master magician Barack Obama has done it again. A major disappearing act, one of his best as commander-in-chief of the War on Prosperity, has netted a loss of 221,000 jobs.

Last Friday it was announced that the Keystone Pipeline project would be “delayed” until after the election with a corresponding loss of 20,000 jobs in the short-term. Translation: Politics trumps the economy. He needs the environmentalists for this election cycle and, if he happens to win, this project is dead and the pipeline will be rerouted to serve the Chinese.

Last Friday it was also announced that Stryker Industries was laying off 5% of its workforce (approximately 1000 people). Why, you might ask? Stryker’s press release said they “will cut 5% of its global workforce by the end of next year to reduce costs in the face of new fees on device makers required by the U.S. health care law.”

And today it was announced that the auction for mineral leases for the Wayne National Forest  will also be “delayed.” Same translation as above. Several hundred immediate and an estimated 200,000 long-term jobs hang in the balance.

221,000 jobs. One week.

When we sum up this past week along with just one of the President’s other actions we come up with a shocking number. In July the House Committee on Oversight released a report stating that the unofficial closure of the Gulf of Mexico to drilling and exploration has resulted in the loss of 230,000 more jobs.

Total: 451,000 jobs lost.

As bad as this is, it does not even speak to the loss of $9 billion in capital investment (equipment). Do you think maybe our economy could benefit from someone spending $9 billion on equipment? Nor does it speak to the loss of $25 billion in royalty and tax revenues to the government. Isn’t there some kind of “supercommittee” in Washington searching high and low to find “revenues” to address the debt crisis?

These are actions of the President that he cannot say were “necessary because of the mess he inherited.” The closed for business sign hanging in the Gulf of Mexico belongs to him as does the albatross of Obamacare.

Let’s just all agree that we have had a few of those times in our lives when a familiar name, a fact, or for that matter, the reason we walked into a particular room just totally escaped us. Brain lock, senior moment, call it whatever you like we’ve all had them. Unfortunately for him, Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry had one of those moments on national TV in a presidential debate. The pundits, comedians, and the press are jumping all over this in full force.

According to them “his campaign is over.” “He’s not a serious candidate.” No one from Texas could possibly be intelligent. Regardless of the likelihood of his getting the Republican nomination, I would like to offer 10 possible replies for Mr. Perry for future questions regarding his “brain cramp:”

“Yes, I definitely could not remember the third government program I wanted to cut however….

1. “…..I never claimed to have visited 57 states.”

2. “….I never tried to walk into the White House through a window, thinking it was a door.”

3. “….I never referred to a posthumous Medal of Honor winner as still alive.”

4. “….I never wondered at a press conference what the “Austrian” word is for “wheeling and dealing.” (There is no “Austrian” language).”

5. “….I never said “10,000 people died and a town was destroyed” by a tornado when there were actually a total of 12 fatalities.”

6. “….I never said on national TV that I bowled like I was in the “Special Olympics.”

7. “….I never signed the guest book at Westminster Abbey as “May 24, 2008″ when it was actually 2011.”

8. “….I never gave the Queen of a foreign country a set of 25 unusable DVD’s as a gift.”

9. … I never pronounced the word “corpsman” as corpse-man (with the “p”).”

10. “….I do not require two teleprompters to speak to a roomful of grade school children for ten minutes (not a joke).”

One or two of these responses would surely liven up an interview on one of the government media outlets, don’t ya’ think?

Here’s a simple little illustration of the folly of Keynesian government spending (stimulus). You need three items; two large pots and a cup made of styrofoam or paper.

First, fill the two pots about halfway up with water, place them 2′-3′ apart on a counter top, and designate one pot “P” and the other pot “G”.

Next, poke two small holes in the bottom of the cup.

Now, using the cup, take some of water from pot “P” and transfer it to pot “G.” A small amount of water will leak onto the counter. This is normal. Do this several times.

Now, ask yourself a simple question. Is the total amount of water now in both pots more, less, or the same? It is obvious that the total amount of water cannot be increased in this way.

In this demonstration, pot “P” represents the private sector, pot “G” represents the government sector, the cup represents the government, and the holes represent the amount of government spending. The water is our economy. The act of transferring the water represents the government taking money from the private sector (taxes), administering the transfer (the leaks), and giving that money to government agencies (pot “G”).

Keynesian spending only puts more holes in the cup and increases the number of transfers from pot to pot. The result? More water on the counter (unproductive spending and waste). It should be no surprise that Stimulus I failed. Stimulus II (the supposed “Jobs Act”) would fail if passed and the green economy spending has been a total disaster with billions (that’s right, billions with a “b”) wasted on crony bankruptcies and technologies with no future. Why has all of this flailing produced no jobs? More holes in the cup produce nothing.

How then, could you ever raise the total amount of water in the pots? Simple. Put the pots outside, stay out of the way, and just let it rain (American business productivity).

Oh, by the way, a new cup with fewer holes would be helpful.

Just last week Kathleen Sebelius, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (and final arbiter of all of your health care decisions) announced that the CLASS Act would not be implemented. The CLASS (Community Living Assistance Services and Support) Act was supposedly to provide long-term care for the disabled.

In a Friday afternoon news “dump” (designed for you to miss it over the weekend), Sebelius said, “Despite our best analytical efforts I do not see a viable path forward for Class implementation at this time.” In other words, it won’t work. Not that this is a surprise to them; it was never meant to work. The plan was based on collecting “voluntary” premiums for 5 years from the elderly with no benefits provided until the 6th year. Can you guess how many people signed up?

Here’s something about that story you will not hear on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, the New York Times, or any of the other government mouthpieces…. The CLASS Act was scored by the CBO as 40% of the savings attributed to the cost of Obamacare. The cost of Obamacare has gone up again from what was originally shoved down the taxpayers’ throat. The CBO says that, without these savings (which were never real in the first place), the cost just went up by another $53.6 billion.

This plan was never intended to be implemented. They knew it would never work. It was part of the smoke and mirrors used to make a claim that the cost of the bill was under $1 trillion and would lower health care costs.

The cost of this bill, if you include interest, is most likely approaching $2 trillion and that is without any consideration of the massive job-killing infection it is spreading throughout the economy. Oh, and those lower health care costs? Where are they?

On a recent visit to my son, my wife and I met a friend of his; a fine young woman, a student of history, and a truly funny individual. She happens to be black. We shared some drink and a dinner and thoroughly enjoyed her company. We also had the good fortune to dine with her and our son a few weeks later. Again, we laughed and shared and had a wonderful time. Several weeks later my wife noticed that she posted a comment on Facebook something to the effect of “How convenient, George Bush leaves us this mess and everyone blames it on the black guy.”

This was especially unsettling, as it was coming from a genuinely nice person with an education in history. The implication was that those laying blame on President Obama are doing it for no other reason than he happens to be a black man. She was voicing what seems to be a fairly common assertion among supporters of the President. It is time to put this notion to bed.

Without detailing them here, there are dozens of policy reasons why Barack Obama has sent the country into a death spiral. Even if you accept the premise that he inherited a mess, which this author does not (see: https://chronicleofchange.com/?p=380 ), President Obama has taken exactly the opposite course of what history has told us would be successful. The results have been exactly what should have been foreseen. All of these choices, their corresponding results, and the public reaction to them had nothing to do with his skin color.

It is so often repeated now by liberals that the Tea Party is racist that it seems whenever a liberal speaks of the Tea Party they almost always preface it with the word “racist.” This is nonsense. The Tea Party is not a political party, it has no headquarters, no leaders, and no membership. The Tea Parties were events. They were protests based on a few simple ideas; stop the runaway spending, stop government-run healthcare, stop the bailouts, and balance the budget. Having attended a few of these and seen hundreds, maybe a few thousand participants I can tell you first-hand that I never once witnessed anything that could have even been stretched into anything resembling anything racist. There were lots of flags, lots of copies of the Constitution, and lots of issue-oriented signs. These people are worried about their own government eating the country from within. Their fears are enough to bring out literally millions of people across the country who have never before been politically active in their entire lives. This phenomenon has nothing to do with the skin color of the current inhabitant of the White House.

Further, it appears that conservatives are, more and more, embracing the candidacy of Herman Cain. Polls show him gaining support from a wide variety of likely voters. In case you missed it, Herman Cain is black. You would think the response of the press and the media would be delight that conservatives are increasingly “color-blind” in their selection of candidates. Unfortunately, the opposite is the case.

From all quarters of the liberal press, Hollywood, and even members of Congress the attacks on Mr. Cain have begun. He is not “really” black….. He didn’t take part in the marches when he was in college….. He’s just a “plant” to hide the true racism of the Republican Party. A particularly disgusting attack took place in the form of an interview on MSNBC with Lawrence O’ Donnell which was obviously designed to bring into question Mr. Cain’s “blackness” You can see it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wmpBXFJLqw

I would like to suggest to Mr. Cain a response for the next time he is asked these types of questions (and, rest assured, he will be). “Although I was always sympathetic to the cause, it’s possible I didn’t make as much of a difference as I could have back then. There are many reasons why people act the way they act in their youth. I am attempting to make a difference now.  I am trying to show the world that the 2nd black Presidency can be good for the country, unlike the disaster of the first.”

The attacks on Mr. Cain reveal the greatest fears of the left. An independently thinking black man (or woman) cannot be tolerated. Any black person who steps outside of the pre-cut template liberals have designed for them must be destroyed. Black folks must never see that there is a world outside of the tiny little box that liberals have constructed for them. Herman Cain has crossed that line and you will see the consequences over the next several months. Can someone explain to me why it is “racist” to oppose President Obama’s policies but it is “not racist” to attempt to personally destroy Herman Cain, both black men?

The answer here is that none of this has anything to do with race at all. It has to do with the political left wing attempting to hide behind race to avoid the failures of their leader and to whip up the sentiments of those blacks willing to blindly follow them without questioning the real issues. The policies of this President are sinking the boat and we are all going down with it, blacks included. It’s time for a new captain.

Finally, for you young folks out there, I have to tell you that the constant use of the racism card is diluting the very meaning of the word and is dishonoring those who actually had to endure true racism. Racism is an ugly, evil, intolerable thing. Just ask someone who was there in the sixties when Martin Luther King was persuaded by the Chicago Police to turn around his intended march down Cicero Avenue because of the baseball bats and chains that awaited him and his followers. Ask someone who was there when black folks were threatened or beaten or murdered. Does using the word “racist” to describe someone opposing a President who happens to be black do those folks justice? I think not.

Let’s get real and discuss what is right for our country. We’ve got two black men to choose from (and a few others too). Let’s get down to business.
