White Guilt Will Take You Further Down than you EVER thought you would go

It seems to be popular to be striven with white guilt these days. Feel bad for slavery. For discrimination. For oppression. Even if you or I were totally innocent of all that, the fact that our skid is not ebony immediately makes us guilty.

That by any other terminology is racism.

But in today's polarized identify politics it's now necessary to play up to a racist agenda. See Obama's Jeremiah Wright for an example. Or Sharpton. Or Jessee Jackson. Kiss up to move up.

What frustrates me about this is John McCain is engaged in this in a big way. He just plain can't kiss enough liberal posterior to satisfy himself.

I'm sick of it. So is Pat Buchanan. So are a lot of people. My support for Huckabee and lack of support for McCain was solidly rooted in knowing he was the kind of Politician who would make this kind of "reaching out:

It began in Selma, Ala., where McCain went to Edmund Pettis Bridge to hail John Lewis and the marchers night-sticked and hosed down by the Alabama State Troopers on the Montgomery march for voting rights.

Now that was a seminal movement in the fight for civil rights.

But this is not 1965. Today, John Lewis is a big dog in the "No-Whites-Need-Apply!" Black Caucus. The Rev. Jeremiah Wright is sermonizing White America. The Rev. Al Sharpton is trying to shut down the Big Apple. And the fight for equal rights is being led by Ward Connerly.

With no help from McCain, Connerly is trying to put on five state ballots a Civil Rights Initiative that declares white men are also equal and not to be denied their civil rights because of the color of their skin.

And where does McCain stand?

From Selma, McCain went to the Gee's Bend Quilters Collective, where black ladies make the famous blankets. The stop could not but call to mind the hundreds of thousands of textile and apparel jobs in the Carolinas and Georgia lost after NAFTA and Most-Favored Nation for China, both of which McCain enthusiastically supported.

McCain's next stop was Inez, Ky., where LBJ declared war on poverty. But LBJ's war was a politically motivated scheme to shift wealth and power to government, which led to a pathological dependency among America's poor, his own abdication and Ronald Reagan's 1980 campaign against Big Government that ushered in the Conservative Decade.

McCain then went to New Orleans to backhand Bush for failing to act swiftly to rescue the victims of Katrina.

But the real failure of New Orleans was of the corrupt and incompetent regime of Mayor Ray Nagin and the men of New Orleans, who left 30,000 women and children stranded in a sea of stagnant water.

What I want is the Straight Talk Express we were promised. We are getting the same old soft soaping we get from every other liberal politician on the globe.

Kim Clement just prophesied TWO presidents this year. I don't know what that means, but if it means what it might maybe we won't be stuck with a Liberal John McCain Presidency.
