RSSWill Obama’s Failure Renew The Good Old Boys Club?
J.J. Jackson | December 26, 2009
I have always voted for people based on their character and ideas and not the color of their skin. More and more I am beginning to think that many Americans don’t agree with me on that philosophy and that so many pulled the lever for Barack Obama for the simple reason of his skin color. Yeah, I know, a lot of people that I talk to who voted for Obama claimed to have been swayed to vote for him because of his “ideas” that he spoke about during the campaign but I don’t buy it from these folks because I spent good portions of my time giving them the truth about what Obama believed and not what he claimed to believe. I sent them excerpts from his book, links to information on his former church’s website preaching black superiority (before the info was taken down) and gave them readily available and undisputed information about his fellow comrades that he hung out with.
Now so many of them when I talk to them act surprised? Spare me. Many, like my friends Joe, Frank, Anna, Collin and Suzan (last names withheld to protect the foolish) and all center-right in thinking had repeatedly opined over the years that they thought it was time for a black president. In 2008, when they got their chance to vote for one that was a real contender, regardless of his competency, they all jumped at the chance and were so proud they had to tell me about it.
Now they all tell me they regret their decision. As I was pulling the lever for the best candidate out there, who just happed to be black, named Alan Keyes, they were off hoping that their lifelong dream of a black President would be fulfilled on election day and didn’t give a damn about reality.
One of them, who shall remain nameless, whined just last week that she probably would never pull the lever for a black President ever again because, this is her reasoning, that man or woman will just be another Democrat and she will never be taken in by lofty rhetoric again that she now knows will always be false when coming form a candidate nominated by the modern day home of socialism in the United States.
Of course I gave her a tongue lashing for such foolishness making sure to remind her that Alan Keyes still lurks in the shadows as a fine candidate to vote for if the other candidates from more major political parties continue to espouse leftist ideology.
But it is thoughts like this that scare me. What I fear is a renewal of the Good Old Boys Club that, for the most part has been mostly white and male while existing with beltway and which, to be perfectly blunt, is no better than voting for a candidate just because you want the “first” something to be hold a position. And when we do get a woman or an Hispanic or a black elected they more often than not seem to have nasty liberal tendencies. Of course, that I suppose is to be expected when you realize that 90% of blacks and the majority of women vote for the Democratic Party’s candidates (again the home of socialism in this country) more often than not because they think those ideas are just peachy and swell. Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer and the whole Congressional Black Caucus are shining examples of this lunacy.
Men like Alan Keyes get lost in the shuffle. Women that espouse strong conservative values and that are needed desperately in Washington do too. Maybe it just has to do with that fear that conservatives have that because they know how so many in these two groups often believe politically that they just do not trust them enough to be anything else no matter the track record and no matter their words.
I certainly hope that Presdient Obama’s failure is seen simply as a failure by him and by liberalism. It has nothing to do with his race. Because I don’t want good candidates overlooked and not judged solely based on the content of their character because one bozo without two functioning neurons to rub together left a sour taste in the mouths of many Americans who thought that it would be cool to finally have the first black President and voted for him based on almost solely on that while ignoring obvious truth about what he believed.

I agree with you 100%. They didn’t listen to him on the campaign trail. If they had actually listened they would have heard him lie, lie, lie! I am too grounded in history to have ever voted for the likes of soetoro/obama. He is not my president. He demeans that office with his very presence. Those who voted for him because he is black or at least part black are lacking in common sense. I believe that we should drastically change our qualifications to vote.
There should be an IQ test to qualify to vote. The test would be based on the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and history. The test would only be available in English. If you can’t pass the test, they you cannot vote.
I guess there wouldn’t be a whole lot of people voting because America is so dumbed down. Too bad, we did have a great nation at one time.
