Great quotations

"To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize." - Voltaire

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - Ronald Wilson Reagan

"The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn't so." - Ronald Wilson Reagan

"In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem." - Ronald Wilson Reagan

"A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have." - Gerald R. Ford

"The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke

"But what is liberty without wisdom, and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness without tuition or restraint." - Edmund Burke

"Liberty cannot be established without morality, nor morality without faith." Alexis de Tocqueville

"Racism:" The Throw-away Liberal Accusation

Will Malven

Every time a conservative criticizes President Obama, the first response from liberals and Black Leaders is an accusation of "racism." Time for a little dose of truth.

Conservatives oppose Obama because the policies he supports and the positions he espouses are antithetical to what our Founding Fathers had in mind when they built this greatest of nation. Obama is wrong, because he doesn't believe in the Constitution, because he believes that America is the source of evil in the world, and because he believes that private enterprise, profit, and capitalism are evil. He is wrong because he believes that government isn't just the answer to some questions, but to all questions.

Opposing Obama isn't "racism," it is rejecting a President with whom we have a fundamental, principled political and philosophical disagreement; it is opposing a man who doesn't see the world as I and other conservatives see it.

So go ahead, accuse us of "racism," it has no power over us or what we say. That tired, old, empty, accusation, used for decades to badger and intimidate good people who love this nation, no longer carries any weight.

Unfortunately for liberals and the "race pimps" of the black civil rights movements, African American activist Mary Frances Berry spilled the beans when she said:

"Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There is NO EVIDENCE that tea party adherents are any more racist than other Republicans and indeed many other Americans, but getting them to spend their time purging their ranks and having candidates distance themselves should help Democrats win in November. Having one's opponent rebut charges of racism is far better than discussing joblessness."[Emphasis added]

There it is right from the horse's mouth. The accusation of "racism" is nothing more than a ploy used by the left to achieve their political goals.

Claims of "racist" and "racism" have been used for so long and so often that the words have ceased to have any real meaning or hold any power.

Accusing others of "Racism" is now nothing but a liberal political ploy intended to silence opposition. The accusation has no meaning--unless one is referring to the mobs of black youths raging through our cities this summer attacking only white people . . . FOR BEING WHITE . . . that, I'll grant you, is racism.
