Hilarious example of the insanity of the HATE AMERICA Alinsky Left. .................................................................................................................... In my opinion it is the xenophobic fear many (mostly white) Americans have as our country changes from a largely white/European nation to one of color. Barack Obama is a metaphor, a symbol, a foreshadowing of that change. And to many white Americans that is unsettling, unpleasant, and frankly scary! It is a reprise of the events that created Reconstruction. They hope and believe that damaging Obama will somehow stem that trend, and as they say “take back our country!” These are telling words. Take back our country. To whom, from whom? Moreover, Obama is not just our first black president; he has that funny name. American presidents of the historic past have had “solid European names” like Jefferson, Jackson, and more recently Johnson, Carter, Clinton and Bush. Not “Obama or Hussein.” That’s not the way it should be, according to many conservative Americans. Additionally, Michelle Obama does not “look” like an American first lady should. They were staid, “knew their place” — and white! minnpost.com
