First up this morning, via Cold Fury, Billy Beck isn't the least bit happy with all the lurrrve for Barack Obama, and I for one can't blame him one little bit...
This is disgusting and appalling. It is implicit and explicit repudiation of Martin Luther King's monumental "content of our character" remark, and the sentiment -- which is all it is -- is rampant today in the wake of Iowa....He's absolutely right, of course, and that makes it all the more disturbing that the media's going along with this tripey Obama's-all-about-change gimmick. He ain't about change, he's just about more of the same socialist ideals that when implemented have caused untold misery for millions. He just wraps it all up in a shiny box with a pretty bow on it, not unlike gift-wrapping a turd. Come to think of it, said approach isn't that much different than the ones the slick marketers of Mitt Romney and Rudolph Giuliani are taking. They just don't have the race card to play.
...This man's skin color means nothing to me. And the very idea that it takes putting a black man in the White House in order to obliterate what is unquestionably America's original sin is an elevation of dirt-cheap emotion over reason. He is every bit the threadbare socialist that all the rest of them are, and that's what should be important...
Which brings me to this comment, seen at Michael Bane's place...
...who are we supposed to get behind in this race? Rudy? Mitt?
It boils down to this...
If Fred or Paul lose, we all lose.
That's pretty much the long and short of it, yeah...
