RACISM, MY ASS.

WHAT WITH THE RISING DRUMBEAT OF RESISTANCE TO THE CRACK-BRAINED PLANS OF THE DEMONRATZ TO TAKE OVER THE COUNTRY, We here at the Alexandria Daily Poop knew that it would only be a matter of time before the Ubamanistas started playing the "race card". Oh, they have been bluffing it all along, but the VERY successful Washington demonstration has panicked them and they are putting it squarely on the table. But the card is dog-eared, worn and old. It is a tired old trick; but the Ratz are masters at using it.

THE TACK THIS TIME IS THAT IF YOU ARE CRITICAL OF "PRESIDENT" OBAMA YOU ARE THEREBY PROVEN TO BE A RACIST BECAUSE YOU SUPPOSSEDLY WANT THE "FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT" TO FAIL IN HIS ATTEMPT TO IMPOSE SOCIALISM. This is ridiculous on its face but consider how this announcement was handled today on CNN:

FIRST, a poster carried by a very few people at a very few of the tea parties was shown. This poster was then described as depicting Obama "dressed as a witch doctor", which we must say did look like the 1930s movie depictions of Congo shamen. But really. To show, oh say, Maxine Waters dressed like that might be vicious. But face it folks. Obama looks like famous white dumbass Barney Fife. Would Barney Fife dressed as a witch doctor be racist?? NO. Nevertheless the media whores made great beating of the breast over this "shameful" portrait.
NEXT, "man in the street" interviews were shown and the "man in the street" was in every case a poor, semi-educated black person who spoke in ghetto grammar as follows (We here depict phonetically what was said. We are not making fun, we are reporting): "AH tinks dis is very disrespec'full ob de office od be pesiden'". We have often wondered why, when playing the "race card" the media looks high and low to find and present black folks who conform to the most cartoonish stereotypes of racist haters, and then presents them as serious people. This is, for lack of a better comparison, as if Jethro Bodine as "Director Beef Jerky" were to present a serious PSA protesting censorship of the movies.
THE ICING ON THE CAKE IN CNN'S COVERAGE came when a minor "Tea Party" organizer was called out on calling Obama the "Racist in Chief". He was confronted by ET looking whatsisname Gergen and unmasked "V" alien looking James Carville, who mocked, scolded and badgered him to scorn. Never mind Obama's many slurs against white folk or his long allaiance with a racist "pastor" in a White-hating "GOD DAMN AMERICA" church.

No, if you oppose Obama there is really only ONE REASON: YOU ARE A RACIST.


BULLSHIT!

WE WILL HERE STATE OUR QUALIFICATIONS TO SPEAK SO BLUNTLY. We were born the son of a 1/4 Cherokee who grew up under the stigma of being the "son of a half-breed". In fact, for the rest of this post we are going to drop the cheeky editorial "WE". I am now speaking as an individual. My family name is NOT "NORMAN" due to ancestry (except maybe very indirectly). What happened as far as I have been able to gather from accounts is that my great-grandmother when she was about 15 and living on the Oklahoma end of the Trail Of Tears fell for a (god I hope he was) handsome young American calvalry officer. And as the old Negro song went, when she wore her apron low he stayed around her door. But then she got pregnant. Well, maybe he did get transferred involuntarily or maybe he just decided that she was not so attractive "when she wore her apron high" and scarce saw him passing by. Thus my grandfather was a bastard, and yall shut the hell up.
Well, Great-Grandmom decided to give her son a name tha might at least give him some respect, so she chose to name him after the White settlement of Norman, OK.
A few wars and a depresssion later, my great-grandmother's grandson met a young girl who was the product of the Irish Baileys and the German Mungels. In January of 1953, I ;popped out of this centuries-old maelstrom. And now I find myself bandied about in a discussion ot the role of race in America????? My Dad flew 26 missions in WWII in a B-24 Liberator, including the deadly Ploesti raid. Wanna know what I think of the whole race bullshit?? I am one-eighth Cherokee, the son of a quarter-bleed who was the son of a half-breed and who lived under a stigma. Oh yes and by the way, there was a regiment of Black soldiers back when who helped pput my ancestors "in their place"

THEY WERE CALLED THE "BUFFALO SOLDIERS" AND THEY HELPED STEAL THIS LAND FROM 1/8 OF MY ANCESTORS. But it's all good, "cause you gave it to the other 7/8ths,,

AND NOW WE WILL RE-ASSUME THE EDITORIAL "WE". And we surmise from all the foregoing that perfect justice would leave everyone starving to death. If you wish to implement and enforce "perfect Justice" well, all we can say is beware. Racism my ass.

YOUR DEBT OF GRATITUDE TO THE FIREARMS INDUSTRY

NO, we are not speaking of the contribution firearms make to natiional, State, Local and private personal protection, nor to the jobs the firearms industry provides.

Most folks get around by other means than walking. Whether you ride a bus, ride a bike or drive a car, without the firearms industry you would be walking or being pulled by a horse. Your washing machine and waffle iron, your electric guitar and its amp, your computer, even your clothing all would not have been possible but for the American firearms industry and specifically one inventor therein. His name was John Hall.

John noticed that loading a muzzle loading rifle took lots of time and was awkward. Plus, soldiers had to stand to do it, and on a battlefield that ain't good. So John invented a flintlock - yes, this was back before percussion caps - where the lock and the chamber were built into a block that popped out. Just pour in the powder, drop in the bullet, snap the block back in line with the barrel, prime the pan and fire!

But this wasn't good enough for John, because he also noticed that if a gun was broken, whatever part had to be replaced had to be custom-made because every gun was individully made from scratch. It took a while, but working out of the Harper's Ferry arsenal he finally fabricated the machine tools to precisely make every piece from the barrels right down to the screws exactly the same. A thousand guns could be taken apart and the parts thrown into a heap, and any barrel could be put with any reciever using any screw and the result would be a thousand guns each as good as any of the many guns they were put together from.

Unfortunately for John, Harper's Ferry Arsenal was infected with a case of office politics from Hell, and his operation was disbanded. If you wonder how the Federal Government could make such a stupid mistake and allow this to happen, you haven't been reading the news.

But the people who worked for John Hall took their experience with them, and they were the founders of American industry as we know it. The knowledge of how to mass-produce spread across the nation, and less than 75 years later, automobiles were rolling off Henry Ford's assembly line in Detroit.

It will probably come as a surprise to you that most of the things we enjoy in peacetime have their ancestry in the weapons of war. The Piano, that ultimate symbol of refinement (upon which Jackson Brown plays his damn peacenik music) is a descendant of the harp, which is the descendant of the bow - not the violin bow, the bow used to shoot arrows in ancient warfare. The carbon fiber frames that make the bikes that greenie-weenies ride to work so light were developed for space exploration, which began when the Nazis developed the V-2 ballistic missile during World War II. The Internet on which this blog is posted began as a Defense Department project. (Al Gore is as usual full of crap).

So next time someone tells you firearms are evil, point to his car or bike or even his shirt, and tell him he's a hypocrite. If he's naked and on foot, well, get him some shoes and a blanket. And tell him John Hall says "you're welcome".
