Southern Discomfort

I sure do wish Obama's sorry mug did not pop up like Joe Stalin invading my every reading space. Is he telling me God is watching or are we getting little subliminal instructions to rat on our parents?

WELL, WELL PEOPLE STILL DOES NOT GET IT. PEOPLE NEED TO GROW UP AND STOP HATIN ON THE MAN BECAUSE HE WANTS WHAT IS BEST FOR AMERICA JUAST LIKE PRESIDENT BUSH WANTED. ANYHOW, LETS SHOW THE WORLD WHAT AMERICA IS TRULY ABOUT AND WHAT THE CONSTITUTION REALLY STANDS FOR. AGAIN LEAVE THIS MAN ALONE.

"Then, a few weeks ago, a white supporter of his had hung up a noose near a road that leads into a neighborhood that's mostly black."

Like hanging is still legal in Georgia? You don't string up a noose on your property and announce you are gonna lynch the next perrson who commits a theft - not unless you want to be dragged into court yourself.

This writer has a history of writing the leftist point of view wehther from Bosnia (muslim) Lybia,Iraq other areas of leftist discontent. To bad he wasn't sable to write about the lefist anarchists of the Woodrow Wilson era. The Bombers that set off bombs in several american cities. one was set off accross from FDR's house trying to kill Wilsons Attorney General but this bomb went off early and killed the bomber. The notes that were left at all bombings of that page in history said"War,Class warand you were the first to wage it under the cover of the powerful instutions you call order, in the darkness of your laws. There will have to be bloodshed;we will not dodge;there will have to be murderwe will kill, because it is necessary;the will be destruction; we will destroy to rid the world of your tyrannical institutions." Wall street was bombed Killing 38 and woundingseveral hundred. under the Sedation act of 1918 arround 10,000. were jailed and hundreds of Illegals were deported. Funny "the more things change the more they stay the same. by the way the murder rate in Ill. since 9/11 is is more lives lost than we have lost in Iraq. God bress our Pres. as he is the first pres. to meet the terrorist threat to this country in 88 years except Reagan under who we list around 500 military and civilians before he finally fired missiles in to a tent in Lybia. This is basically why the Far Far Left hate fthe pres so much.

I am a 9th generation Southener. My niece and nephew and their families make the 10th and 11th. History was one of my majors in college,so I LOVE the subject. However, we don't wallow in it. At family gatherings we discuss current topics and how it will impact the next generation (# 11). Not them as Southerners or Whites or as genders, but as people. The world is now too small to indulge such past divisions. The big topic right now is whether they should learn Japanese or a Middle Eastern language if we want them to succeed in business.

I grew up in the South, left in early adulthood, briefly returned and likely fought a white man because he asserted his white supremacy. I traveled abroad as a military family and didn't detect racism. When abroad, your military members are your family. When we arrived in Virginia in the early 90s, we detected racism, not so overt, and I personally experienced it. At no time can I talk about that experience without being brought to tears. That is what racism does to you. Still nothing prepared me for the recent move mere miles away from Ford Moore's Bridge in Monroe in Georgia and the outward acts of racism. I'll never adjust to statements like "this is the way things are done down here, or "we do things different down here" or how acquiescence others are to these statements along with an adoption of the slave man mentality. I failed my children to a certain extent in my inability to adequately warn them of the subtlety of racism. Now faced overtly with, it is difficulty for them to maneuver through it. Is racism generational? My children almost escaped it. Perhaps their children can. As for me, I bear the battle wounds and the scars. I say all the time that I'm not racist. Sometime, perhaps, I make racist comments. There is a difference between the two.

I come from a stock of family like all families has it trials and tribulations. We have managed to carve and continue to forge a place for us in this country. I grew up in a time when we worked and work hard to overcome and achieve. Don't get me wrong, I believe at some point everybody may need a temporary handout, certainly not an eternal one. I don't believe we looked for an eternal handout and nor did we felt we deserved one. This is where I mince with obama. He often talks about how he worked to overcome and achieve an encouragement to all they can too. However, I kind of get the feeling Obama means to hold my people hostage. I certainly don't feel he has added real value to the community. Like other, though, he intends to ride the back of my people to the white house. After which, he will offer nothing to us but the same ole meager handouts that continue to binds us. It is sad that we are willing to be sacrificed to see a black man elected as president.

My husband doesn't like Obama but he says he won't cross party lines and will vote for him. Of course, his vote will have nothing to do with a black vote. As for me, there are certain core values which I hold every body accountable that I see lacking in Obama. I would love to see Obama stand for at least one thing and not promise me the World.

For some of us, race as nothing to do with it. We look at the overall value of the candidate that will be working for us. Obama hasn???t done anything to earn or deserve my vote.

Dickey's story certainly brough back memories. Of course, racism will play a part in this election ad I didn't need his story to remind me of that.

America needs to go beyond the "white/black-black/white" paradigm. Only then will there be any true space for real development.

It is in a bit of amazment that I read this article. The point is that the southerns are worried because our country has gotten to the point that a statesman that cares , has no chance to be president, and a freshman congressman that makes a million dollers a month gives me concern, YEAH right the books, well WHO IS BUYING UM. And I honestlly believe that Mccain is honorable, and has given far past the required. And I think he will do a good job as president.BUt if you ' re going to tell me that thisis the best this country has to offer I will laugh in your face. The truth is we have barred the real champions that would step forward by the low class format of politics in theis country. AND I will also say, that everyone wants to blame G W Bush for everything that has gone wrong since Christ was a child, People want to sing the praise of Clinton who did not have the class to be president, but he could play a sax . So he won and bet as good a man as has ever been President. YOU AND I , are the ones to blame, we are voting for the cute guy. or worse the one that told us to vote for him the most. We do not do 10 min work toi find out for oursleves who is the right person.. And we will all be as happy as clams as we follow over the cliff to the land of no return, and will look at each other and say, well how did this happen.It must be your fault, www.FunrunnersNews.com is coming

once a redneck always a redneck - you can educate them, etc....but a southern bigot is still a southern bigot and they procreate other bigots. I think it's genetic - but a northerner's feeling that southerners are just stupid is borne out by people who say Obama is a Muslim - because "he must be." Only a stupid southerner would think/say that. There is nothing except North Carolina banking that the South contributes to the country - other than abject embarrassment. We should have let then secede. Morons. What did the one guy say? George Bush was his hero! I rest my case.

IT'S SAD TO SEE THAT SOME AMERICANS ARE SO AFRAID TO ELECT A BLACK PRESIDENT !!! ANYONE OUT THERE THINK OF THE LONG RUN? WHAT WILL THE NEXT EIGHT YEARS WILL BE WITH MCCAIN!!!!

JOB LOST, GAS PRICE, MORTGAGE CRISIS, HEALTHCARE.... WHY ARE WE SO BLIND TO ADMIT THAT MCCAIN IS BAD FOR THE COUNTRY. WAKE UP PEOPLE STOP BEING RACIST AND BAIS!!!!!
