OpEdNews - Page 3 of Article: Crazy White People

Bearing all of these historical facts in mind, the case against an Obama White House is starting to look pathetically thin. Senator McCain's latest argument du juor is that Barack has never stood up to the leadership of his party and that he , John McCain, has stood up to his. There's no argument to that statement. There have been more than a few times throughout the years where McCain bravely challenged the assholes who comprise the "leadership" of the senate Republicans. But think about it for a minute: Although the Democrats are far from perfect, there are a lot less reasons to stand up to the Dems than there is to challenge the unreasonable and corrupt positions of the GOP. It's akin to Satan criticizing Gabriel for not standing up to his leadership. A silly argument any way you slice it or dice it.

My message to my fellow honkies who may have trepidations at the thought of an Obama administration would be this. His will not be the first black family to live in the White House. His will be the first that did not live in the servant's quarters of the White House. There's nothing to be afraid of. The world will not come to an end when this happens. As a matter of fact, the world might even improve a little bit - maybe even a whole heck of a lot! Certainly, it cannot be argued that the way the world perceives the United States will improve dramatically. If we continue down this twisted road of Conservative lunacy, we're going to look like a bunch of knuckleheads, don'cha think?

The piece I wrote on January 6, which was called "Making History in Iowa" ended this way:

"You know, I was just thinking : This son-of-a-bitch just might be able to pull this thing off! Wow!"

Wow indeed!

Dear Lord, keep him safe.
