Race in this supposedly post-racial presidency

I thought Obama was supposed to be a post-racial president. Why, then, is any whiff of dissent reported in the press as racism?

He reminds me of Ross Perot. I’ve been assured that it’s the ears.

I am not a member of either political party.  I live in a liberal state, where everyone assumes that others are as liberal as they are. People are shocked to learn that I disagree.

I had misgivings about Obama’s candidacy. Especially once it was revealed that he had been affiliated with ACORN. I don’t like them. Never did.

I found it offensive that he didn’t want his daughters punished with a baby. Perhaps he just doesn’t want his daughters to be responsible. Or to value life.

I don’t like the Weathermen.

Racist preachers.

Communist sympathizers.

Marxism.

Saul Alinsky

Big Government.

Numerous Czars.

I have a framed photograph of Czar Alexander III.

I’m not a fan of big government; we don’t need to live in a nanny state. It’s stifling. I thought the bailout was a bad idea. I’m against ramming legislation through without discussion.

I’m offended that the government owns part of AIG, which promotes Sharia Banking; if you recall, this is banking done by Islamic principles. No investments in un-Islamic products. While I don’t have an exhaustive list of those, I do know that

pork and any pig products would be verboten.

As would alcohol. No investing in Hormel, purveyor of fine pork products or any alcohol distillers or suppliers.

I think it’s just fine if the First Bank of Dubai, or any institution in a Muslim country follows Sharia Banking, but it’s anti-Capitalist as limitations are set, not by government nor by the marketplace, but rather by a religion. If you recall that pesky little Constitution that we’re supposed to follow, the one prohibiting promotion of one religion above others, well, that’s a problem here as the government owns a portion of a bank promoting Islamic Banking.
