Now We're Racist If We Call Obama a Socialist!

As we have witnessed with our own eyes throughout this campaign, ask an uncomfortable question of Obama, and you are 'racially motivated.'

Criticize the new 'Emperor-in-waiting,' and you are obviously a rank racist.

Promise to oppose the Emperor's pronouncements, and you are most assuredly a member in good standing of the KKK.

And now, a columnist in the Kansas City Star claims that for Obama critics to refer to the Marxist 'Chairman Ba-O' as a Socialist is a mere code word for 'black.'

The columnist then goes through a litany of various and sundry persons from America's past who referred to civil rights leaders as 'Socialist,' meaning of course that rather than appear racist they used the term to avoid using the word 'black.'

Perhaps the writer is in dire need of a history lesson. Socialism has its roots in Marxism and had nothing to do with Blacks. The movement was born among whites in European countries.

The record of history shows that the number of blacks who could be called 'Socialist' is a small minority compared to the large numbers of Caucasians who deserve the designation.

But since the good columnist thinks 'Socialist' means 'black' and denotes racism on the part of those who use the term, I am more than willing to oblige and stop using the term.

'Commie' is a much more appropriate description of the Obama plan for America.

In fact, 'Communist' is, in my view, a much more accurate description due to the fact that Socialism in practice is part and parcel of the Communist system.
