May 5, 2008: The other day, it was reported that Al Sharpton threatened mass riots by black voters if Obama did not receive the Democrat Party nomination. This is the second civil disobedience, or worse, threat made by Sharpton in the past few weeks - the first concerned the judge's ruling in a New York City police shooting case. So far, nothing has been heard from the great uniter, with reference to Sharpton's threats.
In a recent speech, Obama talked about providing a college education for everyone, or words to that effect. Another "chicken in every pot" promise. The only problem with the state (our federal government) giving everyone a "free" college eductaion is that it smacks of Bismarkian, Mussolini-istic, Hitlerian National Socialism. A program of that type is bad, because it makes the grant receiver a property of the state - just what is found in liberal fascism, or Fascism per se. It is just another "Brave New World" concept.
We are now beginning to hear commentators talk about the high probability that Pastor Wright has said what we've recently heard because he doesn't want Obama to be elected. That might also be on the minds of Al Sharpton and other black leaders/spokesmen. That might not be as strange an idea as one might think. Shelby Steele, who wrote the book A BOUND MAN: WHY WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT OBAMA AND WHY HE CAN'T WIN, has laid out the concept very simply (as I have written about in the past)- the power of black leaders is held in the concept that the "man" is holding blacks down, therefore much noise can be made about that, as well as laying guilt on the white man's shoulders. Once that concept is proven false, vis-a-vis Obama's election, then those "leaders" lose their power.
This Democrat Party primary race has some pretty interesting depths to it.
