The boy who cried 'racist' ~ By Burt Prelutsky

Burt explains the one thing that the leftists do that is actually working (99.9% of their ideas NEVER work, but I digress), and it is as he writes, "One of the sneakiest, most despicable things left-wingers do is play racial politics, and when you call them on it, they get to brand you as racists." It seems so true, as we have learned. In fact, have you ever figured out why the Progressives like to call Tea Partiers, or for that matter, anyone that doesn't like President Obama, racist? It's kind of weird, isn't it? How many black people that didn't like George W. Bush were ever called racist? Just sayin'...

P.S. By the way, Burt, I love your new profile picture!

The unfortunate thing is that just as the Communists perverted the meaning of "comrade" and homosexuals perverted the meaning of "gay," the self-righteous leftists have perverted "racist." It no longer means a person who is racially intolerant, who would harm or subjugate another human being because of his skin color, but, instead, denotes someone who really is color-blind and who judges people solely on the basis of their character.

By this time, I'm sure we've all seen those posters of George W. Bush captioned "Miss Me Yet?" I, personally, think things have gotten so bad in Obama's America that I wouldn't be surprised if we begin seeing those same posters springing up with Jimmy Carter's picture.

When I read that Sen. Dianne Feinstein had said, "I've gotten over 90,000 e-mails and faxes on the health-care bill and over 85,000 of them are against it. After all the debate we've had, I can't believe so many people still don't get it," I recall wondering if Obama's arrogance was a contagious disease for which there's no known antidote.

That reminds me that William F. Buckley, Jr., once observed that, "Liberals claim they want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views." (emphasis my own)

He was also the conservative sage who once told a left-winger, "I won't insult your intelligence by suggesting you really believe what you just said." Does a single day go by when most of us haven't wished to say those very words to Robert Gibbs? (emphasis my own)

One of the sneakiest, most despicable things left-wingers do is play racial politics, and when you call them on it, they get to brand you as racists. (emphasis my own)

For instance, affirmative action was created to give racial preferences to blacks to make amends for slavery and Jim Crow laws. But after nearly 50 years, try to suggest it's time to put racial quotas aside, and you will find yourself tarred as a racist.

For the past 30 years, Islamics around the world have targeted Americans, but suggest that they constitute a toxic menace and you're labeled a racist.

For the past quarter century, millions of Mexicans, who were not escaping political oppression, have felt entitled to stream across our border, to take advantage of our schools and hospitals, to fill our streets with drugs and flood our jails with criminals, and if we even complain about it, we're called racists.
