As those of you who read this blog on a daily basis know, in a fit of anger the other day, I decided to tell the World that I was no longer a “Right of Center.”
I tend to say many things when I am ticked off.
Listen folks, I am an American. I am also someone who believes that America is a great place and that we have it good here and last thing we need is a bunch of idiots from California, New York, and other such liberal bastions lousing it up for us. They have already done this to a point, however, I believe that we can still reverse course and make things right, if we get the right leadership in the White House and in Congress.
Another point that I would like to make is this; Centrists, for all their good points also have issues as well. They tend to be accepting to far left socialism. I just cannot find that acceptable, socialism and Democratic policy has been the ruin of many a good State; Michigan included. I ought to know this, as I live only about 15 miles from Downtown Detroit. Detroit, before the rise of black liberalism in the Detroit area, was an industrial Mecca, people came for all around the Country, just to get a good job in the auto plants. What happened? Well, if I were a partisan hack, I would simply blame the unions. They are easy, but there is much more to it than this. The international auto industry changed; and the big three here did not and as a result; the hiring days ended.
Now my statement about black liberalism is not a racist one, but rather a political one — simply put, black liberals just were not able to run this city like their white predecessors. Why was this? Because of the identity politics of the city, this goes back to the first black mayor of Detroit. The election of the first black Mayor of Detroit was widely seen as a defeat of the white Democratic power structure in Detroit. Another reason was the corruption in the City of Detroit. Mayor Coleman Young was the most corrupt Mayor ever. The reason why he was never caught is that he was just that good. Another reason is that it is believed that Mayor Young was bribing investigators as well. Nothing says leave me alone better than a case full of money. It does tend to work.
As I have said on this blog many times. I will always tell you what I think; not what some partisan talking point says. I will tell you what I, personally, think about politics and policy. If I feel something is wrong, I will tell you about it. If I like something, I will tell you that as well — Having said that, I personally believe that Andrew BreitBart is a vile, disgusting excuse for a human being. Andrew Breitbart knowingly released a video that portrayed a woman in a dishonest manner. That, together with the things that this disgusting excuse for a Jew said about Ted Kennedy the DAY he died, just proved to me what sort of a vile, disgusting, piece of human excrement that this man really is. Now, if anyone wants to play the Semite card because I brought up the fact that Breitbart is a Jew, feel free, I would give two flips about that, I would have said that about him if he were White, Black, or Latino. The issue here is not Breitbart’s Semite status, it is his morals; and quite bluntly, they suck.
Now as for my politics, I still consider myself a Classic Liberal, a libertarian-minded individual, a right of center, a Goldwater type; someone who believes in the individual rather than the collective. I am someone that believes that a person has the right to succeed and a right to fail. I have not changed; I was simply angered by what I saw as an opportunist smearing someone to make a cheap political point. There should be no place for that sort of nonsense in the discourse of politics; however, in this age of unfiltered new media it does happen. The question is, will we as Bloggers, and Americans continue to give a platform to the vile disgusting likes of this morally depraved fool? That is the question that all of us in this thing we call the Blogosphere should be asking ourselves this day — and not whether this woman is a socialist; of course she is, that really is not the point. The point was, she was smeared as a racist and is not; THAT is the point my dear friends. Until we can get to that place of realizing that, the Blogosphere of the right, will be seen as nothing more than a child’s playground and propaganda mill; and that my friends is the sad thing about this, it has destroyed us as a whole.
The real sick and sadistic part of this whole mess is this. A little while back, the controversial Louis Farrakhan said that Jews have caused damage to blacks for years. At the time, I thought that to be an outrageous statement, not to mention Anti-Semitic; now it seems that the people like Andrew Breitbart and many others on the right are trying their damnedest to prove Farrakhan right. I think we as a whole, on the right, need to work on that little image very quick. Because frankly at this point, we are giving people like Farrakhan and the many people on the left, that think like him; black, White, Latino, and whatever else, the talking point they need to further that “gospel” of hatred.
That is my opinion and I welcome yours.
