Using the true definition of the term “swiftboat” in the context of the John Kerry incident is something like shooting yourself in the foot by not being forthcoming, this week we’ve watched the Obamas swiftboat themselves.<\/p>\n
Michele Obama self-centered and out of touch with America for about 26 years, apparently, announced she can finally be proud of America because we (Democrats) want change. Well, Democrats really don’t want change – they just want to fleece America and expand their already decrepit social programs. Just like they did in 1972, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000 and 2004, they want to elect an empty suit to the White House. That’s not change.<\/p>\n
But as far as the statement Obama made, Bob Parks at Outside the Wire<\/a> says she identifies this change race much more than she’d care to admit;<\/p>\n Michelle Obama was gushed over by the media, that is, until yesterday. Now she\u2019s struck a nerve with many Americans, and the collective judgment, like it or not, may be a little more unforgiving. As she\u2019s too proud to clarify her statement, some of us will try to explain it.<\/p>\n While most in the mainstream media are pussyfooting around the subject, Michelle\u2019s lack of pride in America comes down to race. In the introduction to her 1985 senior thesis \u201cPrinceton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community\u201d, Michelle LaVaughn Robinson wrote\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cMy experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my \u2018Blackness\u2019 than ever before. I have found that at Princeton no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my White professors and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don\u2019t belong.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Another Michele (Malkin)<\/a> decides that the remark comes from shallower depths than race;<\/p>\n Unlike Michelle Obama, I can\u2019t keep track of the number of times I\u2019ve been proud\u2014really proud\u2014of my country since I was born and privileged to live in it.<\/p>\n […]<\/p>\n Mrs. Obama\u2019s statement was met with warm applause from other Barack supporters who have apparently also been devoid of pride in their country for their adult lifetimes. Or maybe it was just a Pavlovian response to the word \u201cchange.\u201d What a sad, empty, narcissistic, ungrateful, unthinking lot.<\/p>\n I\u2019m just seven years younger than Mrs. Obama. We\u2019ve grown up and lived in the same era. And yet, her self-absorbed attitude is completely foreign to me. What planet is she living on? Since when was now the only time the American people have ever been \u201chungry for change?\u201d Michelle, ma belle, Barack is not the center of the universe. Newsflash: The Obamas did not invent \u201cchange\u201d any more than Hillary invented \u201cleadership\u201d or John McCain invented \u201cstraight talk.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I tend to agree more with Plumb Bob Blog<\/a>‘s posited explanation that they’re just Leftists regurgitating the same tired platitudes that they’ve been fed since their high school days;<\/p>\n The Obamas clearly belong to that small set of leftists who believe the Sweet Land of Liberty we all grew up in is an international disgrace. We\u2019ve heard plenty of this sort of talk over the years, only seldom packaged as \u201chope.\u201d It becomes clear, listening to Michelle, that the hope they\u2019re expressing is the hope that the nation will finally abandon its defense of true liberty and human dignity, and join the quasi-Utopian international community of multiculturalists, who find America disgusting but allow the Sudan to sit on the UN\u2019s Commission on Human Rights. It\u2019s the hope of the radical few, not of traditional America.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Their race is just a convenient, unassailable vehicle from which to throw out their vacuous chants.<\/p>\n Lucky for the Obamas, that crap plays well among Democrats who want to be liked by everyone and don’t want to put too much thought into their politics beyond 10 second explanations that can’t be allowed to be disputed (which is why Democrats resort to name-calling and shouting after 20-seconds of a discussion). Everyone who disputes what either Obama says can be easily pigeon-holed into the racist category (clap dust from hands here).<\/p>\n But the American electorate isn’t fooled as easily as those dopey Democrats who stare mooneyed at the pair of Obamas. Especially when there are landmines like this from VanHelsing at Moonbattery<\/a>;<\/p>\n In his autobiographical Dreams from My Father, Obama writes of a father figure named Frank who apparently influenced him profoundly with his “hard-earned knowledge.” He acknowledges the words of wisdom “Frank and his old Black Power dashiki self” shared with him before he set off for college. This advice included not to “start believing what they tell you about equal opportunity and the American way and all that shit.”<\/p>\n This Frank guy in the Black Power dashiki is Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the Communist Party USA, which received subsidies from the Soviet Union to advance its goal of destroying America from within.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Now it’s time for the Republicans to shoot themselves in the foot by staying away from elections the way we do so Idiot Democrats get elected with 43% and 49% of the electorate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
