Alien Rule
Why Obama must be stopped
by Robert Weissberg
Excerpt:
As the Obama administration enters its second
year, I -- and undoubtedly millions of others
-- have struggled to develop a shorthand term
that captures our emotional unease.
It's called "losing."
Get over it, Mama's boy.
Defining this discomfort is tricky. I reject nearly the entire Obama agenda,
Of course you do - you're white and he's black.
but the term "being opposed" lacks an emotional punch. Nor do terms like "worried" or "anxious" apply.
How about "insane with rage about skin color?"
I was more worried about America's future during the Johnson or Carter years, so it's not that dictionary, either.
So, ... you're LESS worried now than you were
under Johnson and Carter?
So why all the bellyaching about how tough it
is to describe your lesser fear level?
Are you sure you're making sense, Mr. Weissberg?
Nor, for that matter, is this about backroom odious deal-making and pork, which are endemic in American politics.
How 'bout you stop telling us what it is you're not talking about.
After auditioning countless political terms, I
finally realized that the Obama administration and its congressional
collaborators almost resemble a foreign occupying
force, a coterie of politically and culturally non-indigenous
leaders whose rule contravenes local values rooted
in our national tradition.
You mean like a few years ago when Bush &
Cheney turned America into Torture Nation?
Geez, you talk about foreign ideals - torture
has been
outlawed
wordwide since 1949.
It is as if the United States has been occupied by a foreign power, and this transcends policy objections.
Of course it does.
You like niggers fine - just not this
nigger.
It is not about Obama's birthplace. It is not
about race, either; millions of white Americans
have had black mayors and black governors, and
this unease about out-of-synch values never surfaced.
Yeah, but how many Southerners and Pigbots have
worked under a Black boss?
That's what's got you so upset "one
of them" lives in the White House and
you're OK with sleeping
in the same hotels and eating in the same restaurants
(BTW, that's might white of you) but the thought
of two "porch monkeys" having sex in the White
House blows your f-ing mind.
The term I settled on is "alien rule" -- based on outsider values, regardless of policy benefits -- that generates agitation.
There you go - we finally got down to it.
Obama ain't fucking human, right?
He's not one of us - he's impersonating
a human being to ...teach our kids how to be homos?
I'll bet that's why he tricked us into voting
for him - the Gay agenda!
This is what bloody anti-colonial strife was all about.
No, they knew how to handle "niggers" back them
- they put them in chains.
Would you like to see Barack Obama in chains,
Mr. Weissberg?
Wait a minute, ...Weissberg? Are
we ...Jewish?
Is that was this is about?
Let's argue about what happened back in 1948
- You go first.
No doubt, millions of Indians and Africans probably
grasped that expelling the British guaranteed
economic ruin and even worse governance, but
at least the mess would be their mess.
ha ha
Niggers and ragheads - they just can't learn,
right?
Gosh, if they could just be more like us decent
white folk, we'd get along better..
Just travel to Afghanistan and witness American
military commanders' efforts to enlist tribal elders
with promises of roads, clean water, dental clinics,
and all else that America can freely provide.
Wait - how did we suddenly get into Afghanistan's local politics?
Many of these elders probably privately prefer
abject poverty to foreign occupation
since it would be their poverty, run by their
people, according to their sensibilities.
How is that Obama's fault?
I hope the Secret Cervix is aware of this Weissberg guy.
No, "nigger" isn't a bad enough slur for our president.
"Niggers" are at least human, but this Obama
guy is a goddamn "alien."
