ONLY NOW is America estimable, ONLY NOW does the Constitution BEGIN to be truthful; ONLY NOW do we BEGIN to care for the sick.
Michelle Obama:
And let me tell you something—for the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country. And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change.Condoleezza Rice:
The United States of America is an extraordinary country. It is a country that has overcome many, many, now years, decades, actually a couple of centuries of trying to make good on its principles. And I think what we are seeing is an extraordinary expression of the fact that ‘We the people’ is beginning to mean all of us. [Italics added.]Barack Obama:
We will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth.Prior to this moment, America and Western civilization were basically worthless. Only now, when a black man has clinched the presidential nomination of a major party, do a good America and a good human history BEGIN to exist. Because, as is taught by as James Cone, the founder of black liberation theology, and his foremost follower Jeremiah Wright, white people are identical with the principle of evil, and black people are identical with the principle of good. And remember what I saw about Michelle, and thus about her husband, in the first week of January, before I knew about Wright’s sermons and Cone’s teachings:
Barack Obama may not be a “race man,” to use the old-fashioned expression for a black who puts his race first and foremost, but his wife Michelle is certainly a race woman. In the first ten minutes of a talk she gave on Sunday to a group of New Hampshire voters, the text and subtext of every sentence was that we are all isolated from each other, we’re all cynical and fearful of each other, because there has never been a black president, but if we elect her husband, that will show that we’re ready to go beyond our limits, ready to reach beyond our fears, prepared to leave our skepticism behind, and realize that we’re one people. In her mind everything bad and ill about America is connected with the “isolation” that we, meaning whites, are experiencing, meaning that we’re isolated from blacks, but we if elect Obama, then we won’t be isolated any more, and our psychic ills will be cured. The guilty, fearful white people (guilty toward and fearful of blacks) will be cured, by opening themselves fully to blacks. This woman is negative about everything about America, describing us over and over as a mean, fearful country, and in a tone of unwavering resentment. Terry Morris writes:
Barack declared:Steven Warshawsky writes:
Sure, Barack and Michelle Obama and all those of a like mind (including Condi Rice and, I suspect, most black GOP politicians) may be congratulating the American people now for—well, for whatever nonsense Obama’s nomination is supposed to prove. Healing the planet? This man’s messiah complex is both groundless and boundless. But just wait until he loses to old-white-male John McCain this November. Then the vituperation directed at Hillary Clinton for not bowing out of the Democratic race earlier will be as sweet lullabies compared to the hate-filled vitriol that will directed at the American people for their racism and classism and lack of compassion and every other left-wing insult imaginable. After all, look at how traumatized the liberal community was (and is) over George W. Bush’s victory in 2000. McCain’s victory in 2008, especially if it is close, could be one of the most socially explosive events of our time. Frankly, I am looking forward to it.
