Barack The Divider

October 11, 2008 |  Tagged , , , , |

Phyllis Schlafly’s recent column, “The Audacity of Obama“, illuminates (referring to Obama’s autobiography”Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance”) the fact the racial strife is central theme in Barack Obama’s adult life. The most striking aspect of this is that Obama seems to have worked toward convincing himself that he was a victim of racial injustice and perhaps sought relevance by injecting racism into his life.

Obama describes how he deliberately separated himself from his multiracial heritage in order to give himself a 100 percent black persona, different and alienated from the white world around him. Obama writes that the book is “a record of a personal, interior journey” to establish himself as “a black American.”

With his new all-black identity, Obama stews about injustices that he never personally experienced, and feeds his warped worldview by withdrawing into a “smaller and smaller coil of rage.” He lives with a “nightmare vision” of black powerlessness.

Was it a romanticized notion of belonging to a grand struggle that moved Barack Obama to plunge himself into a new narrative, one separate from his actual experience? Was it simply that he believed that his path to political power might be most expeditiously paved by this transformation?

Obama’s worldview sees U.S. history as a consistent tale of oppressors and oppressed. He objects to the public schools because black kids are learning “someone else’s history. Someone else’s culture.”

He even criticizes his white grandparents who worked hard to give him a privileged life. Their motives are a mystery to Obama because they came from the “landlocked center” of the United States which, he asserts, is full of “suspicion and the potential for unblinking cruelty.”

Obama grew up in Hawaii, the exemplar of a melting pot of races, yet he sees it as a place of “aborted treaties and crippling diseases brought by the missionaries.” Although his mixed race was not a handicap in Hawaii, he whined that “we were always playing on the white man’s court . . . by the white man’s rules.”

Division has been an ever present vehicle on Obama’s journey to power. His notable, but apparently unimportant association with proud domestic terrorist, William Ayers even seems to have been focused on division. Not only did Barack have to kiss the ring of the terrorist to enter Chicago’s political machine, but his ideas regarding indoctrination of America’s youth must have been aligned with those of Professor Billy The Bomber in order to have been chosen to chair the board of Ayers’ Chicago Annenberg Challenge.

Obama’s website has links to his healthcare plan and his thoughts on civil rights. Both plans are injected with racial, ethnic, and class divisions that oppose the image of a unifier. His healthcare plan (in addition to being “to each according to his need, from each according to his ability”) contains the following :

Tackle disparities in health care. Although all Americans are affected by problems with our healthcare delivery system, an overwhelming body of evidence demonstrates that certain populations are significantly more likely to receive lower quality health care than others. Barack Obama and Joe Biden will tackle the root causes of health disparities by addressing differences in access to health coverage and promoting prevention and public health, both of which play a major role in addressing disparities. They will also challenge the medical system to eliminate inequities in health care by requiring hospitals and health plans to collect, analyze and report health care quality for disparity populations and holding them accountable for any differences found; diversifying the workforce to ensure culturally effective care; implementing and funding evidence-based interventions, such as patient navigator programs; and supporting and expanding the capacity of safety-net institutions, which provide a disproportionate amount of care for underserved populations with inadequate funding and technical resources.

Vote for me because if you don’t “certain populations” and “under served populations” will be denied access to healthcare. Hey, I thought it was the other side that supposedly used racist code words (basically anything that pointed out Obama’s judgment, ideas, and history.)

The civil rights page focuses almost entirely on the racist, bigoted evil that apparently is The United States Of America. After perusing this page, I find myself wondering why so many foreigners try to escape their home countries and flee to this awful nation. I suppose they were hoping one day Barack Obama would ascend to power and use class and race politics to bring “change” (and make this country more like the one they fled.)

Can you believe his own web-site proposes to “End Deceptive Voting Practices“? Does this mean that a President Obama will put an end to the community organizing, voter fraud entity that is ACORN? More from the civil rights page:

The Problem

Pay Inequity Continues: For every $1.00 earned by a man, the average woman receives only 77 cents, while African American women only get 67 cents and Latinas receive only 57 cents.

Hate Crimes on the Rise: The number of hate crimes increased nearly 8 percent to 7,700 incidents in 2006.

Efforts Continue to Suppress the Vote: A recent study discovered numerous organized efforts to intimidate, mislead and suppress minority voters.

Disparities Continue to Plague Criminal Justice System: African Americans and Hispanics are more than twice as likely as whites to be searched, arrested, or subdued with force when stopped by police. Disparities in drug sentencing laws, like the differential treatment of crack as opposed to powder cocaine, are unfair.

If you aren’t a white male, you are a victim of a cruel society! We must do more to ensure you receive fair and special treatment!

Barack Obama’s Record

Record of Advocacy: Obama has worked to promote civil rights and fairness in the criminal justice system throughout his career. As a community organizer, Obama helped 150,000 African Americans register to vote. As a civil rights lawyer, Obama litigated employment discrimination, housing discrimination, and voting rights cases. As a State Senator, Obama passed one of the country’s first racial profiling laws and helped reform a broken death penalty system. And in the U.S. Senate, Obama has been a leading advocate for protecting the right to vote, helping to reauthorize the Voting Rights Act and leading the opposition against discriminatory barriers to voting.

Whoa! I thought he was going to put an end to “deceptive voting practices” and now at the bottom of the page he is touting his participation in such practices? Oh, I get it. He is saying that he can best deal with the deceptive community organizers like ACORN because he is familiar with their inner workings. Makes sense to me.

Remember to vote for the candidate who made himself into crusader for “social justice” to fight against the oppression that kept him from going to good schools and getting a good job… no, that’s not right. Well vote for him anyway, because he says that this country is racist and oppresses minorities despite the fact that his true narrative is evidence to the contrary!
