First, let me preface this article by stating openly and clearly that I am not a racist. However, some of the things said in this article may be construed as racist, because of its blunt content, and a willingness on my part to forsake the rose-colored glasses called POLITICAL CORRECTNESS. Personally, I have never been one to beat around the bush. I believe in telling it like it is. From the lens of one affected by the insanity of class and color warfare. I was reared to believe that people are people regardless of where they come from, their station in life, color, or creed. Therefore, if the content of this article happens to offend anyone PLEASE except my apology.
BAIT AND SWITCH TACTICS BY THE GOP
By J Sankey
Ever since, the people of America elected Barack Obama — a black man — president of the United States. The GOP (Grand Old Party) has been fiendishly hell-bent on turning back the historical clock of American progress to the nostalgic Jim Crow era, where the office of president was held an exclusive club for white men only. No blacks were allowed: except for the ones shining the ofay's shoes, fetching their water, getting their coffee, and cleaning up after their mess. Similar to what Barack Obama is doing now, cleaning up a thirty-year-old mess, of Reaganomics, NAFTA, and deregulated policies, by the white men only club of exclusivity.
The GOP's hubris would not allow concession for them to take a black candidate for president seriously. To entertain such a heinous thought was utterly preposterous, outlandish, and highly offensive, and that's putting it mildly.
Perched in their ivory tower of intolerant behavior the GOP did not have a clue the landscape. That they bigotedly dominated for two-hundred years had changed on them all because of George W. Bush's abject failure to run the country for the people on Main Street, instead of running it for the criminal's on Wall Street and for predatory corporations nationally and internationally. Obama's landslide election caught the GOP completely off guard, as a result of it.
Blind-sided by the reality of the nation's disappointment in Bush, and an overdue need for change, the GOP now scurries around like chickens with their heads cut off. Desperately slinging (in a last ditch effort attempt) all kinds of – shit – up against the wall to see what sticks; demonizing the president, and assassinating his character at every turn. Never mind debating the issues, this is about mudslinging, ad hominem tactics, and doing everything demonically possible to make sure Obama's term in office, does not succeed – "by any means necessary," Cited by the bloviating radio pundit Rush Limbaugh, and spokesman of propaganda for the GOP.
As far as The Party of No (GOP) is concerned, the country can go to hell in a hand-basket. And it would serve the nigger loving voter's right for electing black Sambo -- a second-class citizen -- president of the United States. In the GOP's opinion, to extol a black man to the high office of president is sacrilege. Sadly, they still believe (due to being brainwashed by their peers, Jim Crow laws. The Willie Lynch doctrine, ignorant parents, and bigoted ancestors) that black people — including Barack Obama — descended from apes. Talk about preposterous. That's a laugh. And sad at the same time, to think that this great nation is run by ofays that propagate this idiotic nonsense, but then they also propagated, at one time, the world was flat too.
Stooping to an all-time low, the headless body of the GOP found their footing when they decided to turn the tables on president Obama. By invoking the old bait and switch routine, casting the dark shadow of George Bush's abject failures on to the back of president Obama making him appear liable for the country's woe's: a depressed economy, widespread unemployment, budget increases, a 10 trillion dollar deficit, liquidated middle class savings, eviction notices, and home foreclosures all across the nation. That George Bush and his regime of co-conspirators deliberately facilitated, in connection with, Reaganomics, and former president Bill Clinton when he repealed the Glass-Steagaill act of 1933 that prevented predatory lending, not to mention NAFTA — the overt outsourcing of American jobs to competing nations. As Sherlock Holmes, used to say, "On the contrary my dear Watson. Or was it Elementary my dear Watson. Whatever the case, they were the malignant growth that deregulated the bank/gangsters (banksters) and Wall Street, not president Obama. Thus, empowering the wolves on Wall Street and the banksters to ravage the hen house on Main Street, like blood-sucking vampires leaving the country in ruin. Yet, the GOP would have the American people believe that president Obama released this economic weapon of mass destruction upon the nation. When, in fact, it is an accretion of NAFTA, trickle-down Reaganomics, and deregulated policies over the past thirty years facilitated by the unholy trinity of economic hit men: Ronald Regan, Bush Sr., Bill Clinton, Bush Jr., and his sick sidekick Dick Cheney — to name a few.
Empirically, the GOP knew if they lied long enough, by way of bait and switch, in conjunction with, ad hominem tactics. That gullible individual's would eventually believe the tactical lie. 2010 was proof positive that crass strategy works. For it enabled the GOP to regain the House of Representatives.
Now, the Republican Party would have the American people believe, by agency of bait and switch. That George Bush, instead of president Obama, was directly responsible for locating Osama bin Laden, via illegal CIA water-boarding torture techniques. That the Bush administration obviously chose to do nothing about for fear Osama's capture would render their regime of co-conspirators powerless to continue plundering Middle East oil, and mineral rights in Afghanistan illegally, while simultaneously destroying the U.S. economy — killing two birds with one stone. "I don't know where he is." said Bush, in a White House briefing. "I don't spend that much time on it."
October 3, 2008 in an HBO special "Real Time with Bill Maher" a female panelist Christiane Amanpour – then chief international correspondent at CNN said, "a woman in American intelligence told her that Osama bin Laden was living in a nice comfortable villa in Pakistan, not a cave." The same villa that the Navy Seals strike team extracted him from nearly a week ago. That's very telling don't you think? Since former president, George W Bush was commander-in-chief of military intelligence at the time the HBO special aired. This can only mean one thing. That George Bush knew all along where Osama Bin Laden was. It all makes perfect sense now. Given that, the Bin Laden family, since 1932, has been close business associates of the Bush family.
Behold, on 9/11 while every other aircraft in America was grounded via a special directive by the Department of Defense (except for the jet fighters patrolling our airspace). Air force one and the bin Laden family was given a green light to fly around the friendly skies without impunity, fear, or reprisal of being blown out of the sky. Just a little food for thought, while you chew on the fact that George Bush's base (the GOP and the Party of No) continue their Bait and Switch tactics, ad hominem tactics, and Trojan horse stealth like destruction upon this great nation. Vying for political gain, lobbying for more tax cuts for corporations and for the super-rich, never mind the useless eaters (the poor and the middle class) they can all go to hell. A sad commentary, don't you think?
