<font size=2>Dear friends -<br>
Sometimes, it's good to try to go back to the basics. - sd<br><br>
<br>
</font><div align="center"><font size=3><b>PRESIDENT MAO-BAMA’S LITTLE
RED PRIMER<br><br>
</div>
Lesson One<br><br>
</b> See the U.S. President. See the U.S.
President give billions of tax dollars to help failing investment firms.
See the U.S. President decide that terrorism suspects can be held without
trial in “prolonged detention.” See the U.S. President oppose gay
marriage and expand the war in Afghanistan.<br><br>
The U.S. President is black. Yet his policies
are in line with those of our previous presidents, who were all white.
Why is the black U.S. President carrying out these policies? <br><br>
The black U.S. President is carrying out these
policies to prove that he is not a socialist.<br><br>
Uh-oh! See the rightwing pundits and congress
members! See them rebuke and scorn the black U.S. President! They are
sick of Big Government. Hear them accuse the black U.S. President of mind
control. Hear them warn America that the black U.S. President will
indoctrinate our children with Marxism and take away our freedom. Hear
them call him a liar.<br><br>
Why are these people rebuking the black U.S.
President? Is it because the new President is carrying out the policies
of presidents before him? Is it because the government has grown bigger
under the new President? Or is it because they are no longer allowed to
call him a shiftless, no-good N-word?<br><br>
No. It is because the black U.S. President is a
socialist.<br><br>
Confused? <br><br>
That is because you are not a political
scientist. Political scientists know that sometimes politics is like the
world of fashion.<br><br>
Sometimes, it takes a political scientist to see
that socialism is the new Black. <br><br>
<b>Lesson 2 <br><br>
</b>See 400 years of U.S. history. See African
Americans in U.S. history. See them since 1607 behave in a radical
socialist fashion. <br><br>
See African Americans challenge the means of
production by escaping from plantations in a socialist fashion. See them
attempt to overthrow the economic class system by getting their heads
busted open by state troopers in a socialist fashion. See them weaken the
profit motive by popularizing spirituals, jazz, blues, and “folk” music
in a socialist fashion. Some African Americans have even used shame-based
communist rhetoric to obtain “equal” rights. <br><br>
Now see European Americans in U.S. history. See
them regard the 400-year legacy of African-American socialism with deep
pain. See European Americans cringe at this long history of great wrongs.
Oh, the socialism! The horrible, horrible socialism – which they were
powerless to stop! Will there never be an end to Euro-American
suffering?<br><br>
Maybe. See the African-American President offer
everyone Hope. Hope for Change! The President is determined to make
everyone happy. He is trying hard to see both sides of any issue! He
–<br><br>
Oops. See the African-American President make a
mistake. See him criticize the arrest of a fellow African American for
trying to enter his own home. Hear the President say the arresting
officer acted “stupidly.”<br><br>
Whee-boom! That is the falling-down sound of
white America’s approval rating for the new President. The President has
failed. He just cannot overcome his natural inclination to behave in a
socialist fashion. <br><br>
Let’s face it: Although he supports all forms of
capitalism, the President is really a communist dictator. He is a regular
Mao-bama. See him bang his shoe on the White House podium. Hear him
threaten to bury us with healthcare death panels. He wants to create two,
three, many Free Trade Zones. He wants a thousand iPods to
bloom.<br><br>
The President holds great power. He has come a
long way in his life. Yet there are things about U.S. history that he
does not understand. The President does not understand that, no matter
how powerful he is, or how far he has come, he still can’t mouth off to a
white cop.<br><br>
Can somebody please go get the President a
beer?<br><br>
<b>Lesson Three <br><br>
</b> See the angry Middle Americans. See them
march on Washington. They are marching against Big Government. Are they
protesting the President’s recent Big Government support for the nuclear
power industry? No, they are protesting the President’s socialism.
<br><br>
Hear them sing “God Bless America.” See them
carry signs that call the President a “parasite in chief.” See them wave
Confederate flags. Silly us – we didn’t know that Confederate flags meant
GO-BACK-TO-AFRICA-BIG-GOVERNMENT.<br><br>
Now see the U.S. Left. The U.S. Left actually
wants socialism! The U.S. Left is made up of many factions, each of which
wants a different kind of socialism. But all U.S. Left factions are
united in their disagreement with the President’s policies. They are also
united in not marching on Washington. <br><br>
See the U.S. Left quietly watching the U.S.
Right on the march. See it watch the U.S. Right usurp the Left’s own
protest tactics to overthrow a socialist president who staunchly supports
capitalism so that the U.S. Right can regain power and implement the same
policies as those of the previous president whose policies closely
resembled those of the current socialist President except that he is
black.<br><br>
Aren’t you glad we live in a post-racial
society?<br><br>
Beers for everyone, bartender!<br><br>
