Racism
I have to say that Rush Limbaugh did not do a very good job of articulating his stand on whether he wants President Obama to succeed or fail. However, if you look past the bad superbowl analogy and get to the substance of his statements, I agree with him. I don’t want our President to succeed in taking us to socialism either.
It was a day or so after that gaff on stage by Limbaugh that I was listening to him on the radio. He was still in “explain” mode, trying to convey what he really meant with his comments at the conservative convention when he made a statement that really rang true to me. He said and I paraphrase because I don’t think I can directly quote him, but he said that conservatives are not racist. They want EVERYONE to succeed. I agree with that. I think that everyone should succeed. However, the part that the left seems to forget is that one has to work at it if they are going to succeed. You can not have success, at least as it’s defined by most people, if you sit on the bench and don’t get in the game. I don’t care what color you are, whether you like the same sex, what religion you are. It doesn’t matter. If you won’t work hard to succeed, you won’t. Now if your definition of success is getting paid to do as little as possible. Stay with or join the Democrat party. They will help you succeed.
The basic difference between the two political parties as it pertains to success is: The liberals believe that the outcome should be the same for all people. Conservatives believe that the opportunity should be the same for everyone. In other words, it’s what you make of your opportunities that will define how successful you are.

You speak of an unfair playing field. What about the child that is told by his father that working in the coal mines was good enough for him so it should be good enough for the son and pressures him to not go to college. What about the inner city child that has to work a job after school to help provide for the family and therefore doesn’t do homework and gets bad grades that ends up keeping them out of college. Every child in America should go to college. We are keeping brilliant people from getting a higher education. Why is it that most soldiers in the US Army are minorities? Is it OK to send off minority young people to die in an unjust war while the white kids go to college?
Are you kidding me? Rush Limbaugh is an idiot. And why is it that only when there is a black President does the RNC roll out a black guy as it’s leader. Come on. Racism is alive and well. Especially in the Republican party.
About the difference between Conservatism and Liberalism….
For now I would like to add: When the opportunity is the same and the outcome different the liberal will attack with all the facts as to why the playfield was unfair…, the conservative will be jealous and plan how to be the next time more successful.
But that is not new, read Matthew 25:14:28. It is up to real leaders/parents to say “You are lazy and unproductive, therefore you will receive no more…”
But we don’t do it, because we all want to be political correct. Political correctness is a modern word for laziness, no backbone and selfish ignorant about your responsibilities, something to hide behind. The only people who like political correctness are insecure minorities and use society to make people who speak their mind feel guilty.
Fact is society needs both conservatism and liberalism to succeed. This is true in the workplace, projects, family and friendship.
Here a few thoughts/questions:
• What role does socialism play in all this?
• And capitalism?
• Or racism?
• Or democracy?
I know people with all the above characteristics with any combination of the above. Does it make them bad people? I hope not, as I call them friends.
What is the real problem?
Conservatism and Racism?
90% of people talking, accusing or debating racism has no understanding what racism really is. It has become a word people use when they run out of valid arguments and know they will shut up their audience due to political correctness.
During the last year I have learned from the media that:
If President Bush was criticized it was freedom of speech?
If President Obama is criticized it is racism?
If Sarah Palin is shown hanging on a noose it is expression and entertainment?
If President Obama is shown hanging on a noose it is criminal?
I call these dubbel standards. Other calls it the wonder of the American freedom of speech. Remember my references to elimination of leadership.
The questions we have to seek answers for are:
• Why is this dubbel standard widely followed, and in the noose case, written into law?
• Why is it that in nearly every case the liberal agenda is not followed, the outcome is labeled negatively, and then accepted by millions of Americans without debate?
• Why is it that what was not expectable a few years ago becomes now the norm?
Is this a clear signal we receive about the systematic change to modern thinking? Is it only coincidence that that the number of young people leaving collage who are largely social liberal thinkers are increasing at a staggering rate? The same apply to:
• Religion
• Respect for parents, people and property
• Dissipline, financial and personal
• Responsibly for your own future, you or the government?
I make the statement that the enemies of the western world are fighting a war without guns and explosives. They have decided long ago that the only way to overturn the USA is by reeducation the youth, brain washing the masses. Here a few battles they have won already:
• In a country were 70% of the population is Christians and 90% of them are paying taxes, their children are not allowed to pray or use the word “God” at school.
• The American school system used to be the envy of most of the countries in the world. During the last 20 years the USA has imported 100’s of thousands of people from other countries to compliment the lack in skill sets in the USA.
• Disciplinary action by parent has been reduced to a weak “time out” system and most parents just don’t bother anymore.
In addition to weakening the future of the USA:
• Illegal immigration (Illegal is a crime, why do we debate this?)
• Airport security (what a joke)
• Job outsourcing (show me the cost reductions to the consumer, I can show you the increase of income to the CEO’s of those companies who outsource)
• The mainstream media ( If only the view and agenda of a selected few are broadcast we used to call it “government control without freedom of speech” or “brain washing”)
• Hollywood (Once the showcase and pride of USA, now the voice piece of socialism)
• Brake down of western democracy (The same people who scream democracy only use it to enable their non western democratic agendas)
• Daily attack on the constitution of America (creating doubt and soon changes will be allowed)
The Western Christian society has always believed that success and prosperity is built on three pillars:
• Family values
• Christian believes
• The workplace
Notice that these are the areas being attacked? For those who have been in war will know that you never attack your enemy at his strongest points. You attack the weak areas, infiltrate the strong areas and eliminate the leaders.
You see the trend?
Hope this is a good starting point for more discussion. I hope you can convince me I am wrong.
About Rush….
I am listening to him whenever I can and there are many things I agree and really enjoy but there are also some I don’t.
The one thing I like about his show is that he speaks his mind. I don’t have to wonder what the point is he would like to make or what agenda he is serving up.
Thanks God I have a mind of my own to be able to know fact from fiction.
The day he said what he said that makes the white house quiver I was listening to him. I then thought for myself, if this is not going to be pulled out of context and used to slam conservatives then democrats will show that they are secured in their direction and leadership. They reacted the way they did and it exposed their insecurities. Do I have it wrong?
Liberals are scared out of their mind president Obama fails, because they supported him. I am scared he will fail the last country in the word where socialism has not lamed the productive society…., yet. A country where freedom of speech is really free…, still. A country many people all over the world would like to come to…, for how long? A country where we can buy, sell and carry guns?
