Bits, Pieces and Other Folks Snatches

E Mail circulating among the rednecks here in the “Land of Opportunity” attempts to “warn” of Obama’s past. Yes, it was sure to happen sooner than later and it’s no surprise, this kind of crap is resurfacing. I’m not going to post the contents of the message, all of which is old news, but it does “warn” everyone of his religious past. Never mind the man joined a Christian church (even if for political reasons). If he was really a Muslim and he defected to Christianity and stated it publicly, that would go to show how serious his Muslim inclinations were if there were any at all. It also states some obvious and already disproved lies. Knowing that it’s easy to cut, paste and forward an email, even for an inbred redneck, we’ll be seeing more of this shit to be sure. Unfortunately, these are the same folks who forward shit to 10 of their friends then believe Bill Gates is going to hand them a free computer. My guess is that this stuff will be floating not only from the Right Wing Conspirators but also the Yellow Dog Democrats will be squeezing out a few Obama tidbits as well.

The South has traditionally been a Democratic stronghold. However, the fact that a black man is showing some promise as an electable candidate has thrown things into turmoil. The problem with rednecks these day’s is that they’ve seen too many movin’ picture shows that may go something like this: a terrorist is raised from childhood as the typical American boy, goes to high school and college, starts a business, marries an all American girl, has 2 kids, gets elected to a few local councils then ultimately makes it to the White House. All of a sudden things turn and this sleeper terrorist unleashes his minions on the world from within the walls of the White House. To make things worse, Obama isn’t the typical American boy that everyone thinks should be running for President, even those loyal Democrats.

When Obama’s wheels get rolling, there’s going to be big problems for the Democrats particularly here in the south. All of the black voters that have traditionally gravitated toward the left are going to see just how loyal the Democrats are to the black voter when the true feelings towards Obama and minorities surface. They’re going to realize that the black voters best interest was only an interest of convenience. My guess is that the Democrats of the South will vote Republican before they vote “black”. Even the Yellow Dogs may have a change of heart.
