I have these thoughts zooming around in my head and find it hard to work without writing them down.<\/p>\n
I think it’s absolutely unAmerican to think of this as an historical moment in our nation’s long journey. It’s unConservative – and that’s been our whole problem with minorities, but it comes with the ideological territory.<\/p>\n
In our Declaration of Independence, it’s written that “…all Men are created equal….” It doesn’t make a racial distinction. Jumping ahead almost 183 years martin Luther King Junior said “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. ”<\/p>\n
Those two phrases taken together are incongruous to this assertion that Obama being elected is historical – and those are the two phrases that have governed my entire adult life and affected the way I treated people, even affected my choice of a wife and the subsequent children that resulted thereof.<\/p>\n
It would only seem to be significant to someone so shallow and steeped in their melanin level as to place some sort of significance on something so inconsequential.<\/p>\n
I’ve opposed Obama from the beginning, but not on any sort of racial level, because race is insignificant. I’ve opposed him on an ideological basis – and much more than “my club against his club” (the way Democrats seem to think of the R vs. D struggle).<\/p>\n
If we’re all supposed to be merely men and women, fashioned in the image of our Creator (whoever you think that is), I find it offensive for the media to keep pounding in my already-cluttered brain that this is somehow significant in our history.<\/p>\n
I’m sure some pointy-headed smart ass won’t hesitate to point out my failed reasoning by calling me a racist – or something equally vacuous.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
