Is anyone else offened...?

Question

Barack Obama calls himself African-American, however he is African/Anglo-American, is he pandering?

OOOOOh, I forgot I'm white I don't get to be offended....
Shouldn't he just call himself an American

Answer 1

I call it continental confusion. Catchy phrase? You can call me the Jesse Jackson of the Republican Party.

Some will call me rascist. That's true. I'm in the human race and I'm running to win.

All seriousness aside let's investigate the facts of the case you've presented. You're either African or your American. Not you but whoever uses those words. My ancestry is mostly Prussian, some say German, most hardly understand the distinction...but I call myself an American.

On Osama, er, I mean Obama: Personally, I saw him speak to a group in New Hampshire on C-Span the other day and he did look a little light to me but I wasn't as interested in his appearance as I was with what he said (which wasn't much from what they covered).

Back to this continental confusion. If you're African you probably fail to speak English. He seems to do pretty well.

If you're African you probably don't live here. I think he's from Chicago although someone else may correct me if I'm mistaken. He's also a United States Senator so that seems to substantiate his citizenship and residency.

The CIA says that most Africans, the ones who live on that continent, believe in a bunch of hocus pocus religious stuff like animal worship and whatever. I mean my dog can jump about as good as a Kangaroo and my cat does some pretty interesting things but I hardly worship animals. I think Obama says he's a Christian.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that he's an American. Call it a hunch if you must.

I'm particularly disinterested in what he calls himself. I call him a Demonrat and a lunatic liberal. If anyone is offended by that I don't give a hoot.

The Demonrats are responsible for the Owen-Glass Act of 1913. If you are unaware of this law it created a private corporation that reaps financial profits off the American people. You may have heard of this privately owned venture. It's called the Federal Reserve System.

The Demonrats are no more the party of the little guy than the Republicans. By and large they both are promoting the agenda of the rich. Just different groups of rich folks.

While I'm on the subject I should clarify that I have no blue-collar angst against the rich. In fact, I own a series of unrelated businesses (diversification) and consider myself a capitalist who creates new products for the marketplace and helps employ my fellow Americans. Having said that, I also realize that some self-acclaimed capitalists are quite opposed to what's in your best interests. I'm a realist.

You will find that the folks who own the Federal Reserve System also control (through majority stock) the mainstream media/news/propaganda machine/agencies as well as many (again through controlling stock) of the household names (corporations) that you're familiar with. They also control many of the major universities and the policies/politics/curriculum of those universities. Through this academia they control much of the curriculum of the public school system not only through legislation but through textbooks.

The perpetuate this entire facade by promoting the silly notion that the Demonrats are the party of the the people. Do your homework. Research Bismarck in Germany. He was an ultra-conservative who essentially created modern day liberalism (to fend off a revolution and maintain politcal power) and many of the policies that Demonrats today claim as their own. All the issues the Demonrats propose are an attempt to make you believe they are 'for you' in order to 'buy' your vote by creating programs that help you very little, if any at all, but which tax you into suberviance and make you ultimately believe you must rely on government to survive.

The Tax Foundation says that in 1900 the cost of government (federal, state and local) was about 5% of an Americans earnings. Today that has risen to over 31% and the Demonrats want more, although they'll lie to you about (see Walter Mondale, telling the truth, 1984). Public debt in 1900 was virtually non-existent. Today is staggers the mind to see the 'debt cost' of federal, state and local government combined in the United States.

Again, the mainstream media (CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, network radio and many major newspapers) are owned (controlling stock) by the folks who own the Federal Reserve System and will attempt to deny any of this is the truth. So you won't hear this on your evening news. My message: turn off the TV, tune out and start reading the truth and doing your own investigative journalism in your spare time.

Muchy of this is documented in a book titled The Secrets of The Federal Reserve by Eustace Mullins. I doubt you can find a copy but I encourage you to read it and do your own research into the facts.

However, the liberal lies continue. Why? Because government can control you more. Nearly all legislation, promoted by the Demonrats, effectively creates a situation of utter reliance upon government instead of self-reliance.

As an ex-special forces operative I can see the divide and conquer strategy of the Demonrats with this African-American nonsense. They want us divided so we won't stand united. Liberals are perpetuating divisiveness and hate rather than conservatives. Although there are some conservatives who are insane in the membrane to be fair.

Proof you ask? People usually do what they're told. Who pays the bulk of money to candidates campaign? Is it the guy that works in your local supermarket or the executive that runs the business? People usually listen to what their boss has to say or they lose their job. Same is true in politics but with different words. In case, I've lost you, the politicians are the employees. Campaign contributors are the bosses.

Look at the laws that each party proposes. Now the Republicans are being bought and paid for by the same people as the Demonrats. But their is much more resistance to 'the establishment' within the Republican party although the propagandists like to twist the truth/facts.

Knowing all this, what are you going to do about it? You have choices. You can inform others. You can keep your mouth shut and vote Demonrat. You can get politically involved. You can copy this and send it to your fellow Americans.

I was a junior in high school (old for my class) when I was elected Precinct Chairman and became politically involved. Two week after my 18th birthday. Anyone can do whatever they want with their life. What will you make of yours?

Educate yourself. Organize, inform others. Go to your Precinct, County, State, National Convention. Democrat or Republican who cares? Just do it. For yourself and for America. Have this conversation with anyone who will listen. Talk with your elected leaders. Actively pursue candidates/policies that are in your best interests.

Be decisive, aggressive and ruthless in the support of what's in the best interests of all-Americans instead of one little group.

Let black people know that they are Americans instead of allowing this continental confusion to continue. Invite them over for dinner. Chase their kids around your yard with a watergun and let them soak you with a waterhose.

Let the liberals be the ones who are uptight and offended. Let loose, live life, have fun and create your own reality rather than be told what it is.

Answer 2

It his his choice what ethnic persuasion he most identifies with.

Would he be lying if he said he was Caucasian?

Should he be forced to have a racial DNA analysis conducted?

I don't recall the requirement to completely disclose ancestry or family tree to ensure accurate reporting of a candidates race.

Based on his appearance I would imagine that that designation was made for him before he was old enough to realize it.

If he called himself a Martian, I might be concerned about his mental state but I would have no reason to be offended.

Answer 3

YES

If you are African go back to Africa. If you are an American, then be one.

Answer 5

Don't talk bad about a man that has an IQ 10 times that of Bush.

Answer 6

Some people are offended at anything. He should just say he's American.

Answer 7

I'm offended that every one else is always offended by something - stop being a baby and whining about everything that somebody else says

Answer 8

A politician pandering? You can't be serious!

Answer 9

Answer 10

Answer 11

No, you're nit-picking. And in actuality, he is Afro/Native Indian-American.
