“Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclination, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” – John Adams
It is amazing what lengths people will go to delude themselves. Fantasy becomes reality. Truth is twisted inside out . . . good is evil … black is white. This is one of the reasons people stay and defend their abusers or continue to enable addicted friends or family members. They find themselves either unwilling or incapable of facing the truth no matter where the facts lead.
Thus we are faced with a man holding the office of President of the United States, a man that always has been ineligible to place his hand on the Lincoln bible and swear to uphold the Constitution of our country. The MSM’s narrative helped create the fantasy that Obama is America’s first black president, a Christian, and is a natural born citizen( and thus )eligible to hold the office of POTUS.
Stubborn fact #1 – Can we get the mirror out gang? The truth is Obama is not America’s first Black President as a quick view of Charles Payne clearly demonstrates.
Mr. Payne, is the great uncle of President Barack Obama. He is a prop that is trotted out on occasions like the D-Day Commemoration by Team Obama. In case anyone missed it . . . Mr. Payne is white.
In the overall scheme of things, what color Obama is or isn’t, is quite immaterial, unless of course we need him to be black in order to absolve America of its sins. The truth is BHO is bi-racial; having been born from the womb of a white American woman he cannot be America’s first black president.
The following comment is from a blogger who also refuses to drink the Kool-Aid:
Obama is not black. His mother was white. Why is it that all the race card players say he is black? You can’t do this in this case. If you mix a collie and a rottweiler do you get a collie? or is it a rottweiler? It’s neither. It’s a mutt and so is Obama. Not black not white but a Mutt.
Well, put that way, how does anyone continue to insist Obama is America’s first black president?
In all likelihood Obamaisn’t even America’s first bi-racial president as allegations abound of five other presidents having mixed ancestry. Jackson, Jefferson, Harding, Coolidge, even Abraham Lincoln’s ancestry is reported to be partially black.
This is from the Mixed Heritage Center:
Lincoln, the nation’s 16th president, served between 1861 and 1865. Lincoln was said to have been the illegitimate son of an African man, according to Leroy’s findings. Lincoln had very dark skin and coarse hair and his mother allegedly came from an Ethiopian tribe. His heritage fueled so much controversy that Lincoln was nicknamed “Abraham Africanus the First” by his opponents.
Hmmm!
Ah, we do live in Obama Fantasy Land. In this never, never land Obama is almost God like (quick get that damn barf bag, again)! Seems Evan Thomas and Chris (I’ve got a crush on you sweetie pie) Matthews have moved onto being Obama Crack Heads of the First Order, thrilled to acknowledge Obama’s God like presence. To which I say, “Have you two lost your friggin minds?”
Hat tip to Weasel Zippers :
Newsweek editor-at-large Evan Thomas appeared on this weekend’s edition of Inside Washington and lauded President Obama as a brave, great teacher who stands above everybody.”
These comments were only slightly less hyperbolic than a gushing assertion on Friday’s Hardball. On that program, the journalist cooed, “I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above the world, he’s sort of God.”
You know, many of us ceased caring about the color of a person’s skin years ago. We grew up acknowledging Martin Luther King’s words about caring about the content of a person’s character and ignoring the color the person’s skin.
It seems it is the MSM that refuses to let it go. It is the Progressive, liberal, socialist democrats who cannot let go . . . who insist . . . insist …. that we believe their version of reality and not our eyes.
In Part II – Sorry guys, this dude is really a Brit!
[…] truth is, from the moment the Progressives Drug of Choice, Barack Obama, entered the White House everything has revolved around race. Words are cheap and we know Team […]
Kerry K. I am a “mulatto” as you have said. My skin is so light i have been called white most of my life. Along with red hair and freckles, showing no outward sign of being “a darkie”. I am still thrown into catagories to this day. White people don’t like you because you are black. Black people don’t like you because you are white. I am 31 years old. Having lived my life split between the West Coast and East Coast equally.
Believe u me, that racism is still around.
My point on this is…
You said it’s better to be called a mulatto than a dog.
The term mulatto is a slavery word. It actually means “half-breed as a horse”. It’s a very derogatory word, even in this day in age.
I can only attribute this to ignorance. Before you said a word is better said in replacement, maybe you should do your own research instead of offending others out of ignorance.
i would have to say that Barack Obama is a thousand times better than George Bush. Barack is also a very charismatic leader.
It is possible that other presidents were of mixed race. But we do not know for sure. This is the first president that is obviously of mixed race. You can see it,and he says it. This is a great deal different than some people thinking that Lincoln was black because he was dark.
Then why does the media, and even he sometimes, say that he is “Black”? Because it has been the custom over many years to call someone who is partially black black. And because Obama considers himself to be culturally black.
Now that that is over, what does this have to do with his eligiblity to be president. He was born in Hawaii.
“Obama is not black. His mother was white. Why is it that all the race card players say he is black?”
I follow your posts regularly because I find your opinions interesting and well thought even though I do disagree most of the time. This, however, is a sticking point. Dating back to slavery, a law still on the books declares that any citizen having any percentage of African American blood is black. That’s it. If an individual is 1% black, then he is still black. While there is a claim that these laws have “died,” they still exist although they are not followed. Merely existing is a bit of a problem, though.
“Not black not white but a Mutt.”
Mulatto might be a fairer word. Comparing a person to a dog says more about the speaker than the subject.
Kerry
Thanks for following the posts here, even if you disagree with me from time to time. Actually, I hope you post here when you do disagree. That’s how we learn and grow.
As to your point about the 1% definition, you are correct. I had forgotten about that. My guess is that most people today would be completely unaware of it. The “1% black” is similar to the “1% Jew” that the Nazis used to justify their hideous acts… I was really alluding to a broader point. So many of us are bi-racial that calling BHO America’s first black president is simply not true. Who knew that 5 presidents faced accusations about their ancestry? I happened upon that point by accident and thought it was interesting. In some ways, it isn’t surprising.
BTW, the dog comment was tongue in and cheek and snarky, period. I don’t believe the person I quoted, meant or implied that anyone was literally a dog.
