Jimmy Carter Doth Protest Too Much Methinks!

When I heard Jimmy Carter state that he believes that everyone that disagrees with Obama are basically racists, the first thing I thought was “that doddering old fool”, then I thought a little more.
It seems whenever the “Race Card” gets pulled, it is a political last ditch effort to cut losses in an argument that is being irrevocably lost; it is meant to stop all further discussion and pull the opponent’s defenses down. Especially if it comes out of nowhere,the Race Card distracts the opponent enough that perhaps they will cease the attack entirely, and retreat.
The unnecessary commentary by Jimmy Carter came completely out of the blue; who the heck asked his opinion anyway? Why does he have to put his two cents in? How did he become relevant all of a sudden? And why is the Democratic Party so threatened by free discussion that they have to reconstitute him politically?
This is my theory, don’t take it as the opinion of “every Conservative that thinks Obama is an arrogant amateur” it’s just mine.
I have two theories on this issue, first of all, Jimmy Carter has “white guilt”, a disease of the elite class of Democrats that make a lot of money and feel guilty about it, one of the main reasons some Americans are raving liberals. White Guilt entails the opinion that we should spread the wealth around; other people’s wealth, not theirs. Carter cannot explain why everyone is not on board with all of Obama’s radical plans for America unless they are racists; after ruling out any other reason that may make total sense.
My other theory is that Jimmy Carter himself is a closet racist. Certainly he could not come out from under the sheet and be as successful (not a good choice of words) in today’s Democratic Party, now could he? Who else but a racist would call another a racist? Why would anyone pull that outdated idea out of the mothballs and fling it around so freely unless they themselves are guilty of it? After all, don’t you find that the thief is the one that calls everyone else dishonest?
The Democratic Party, wishing to distance themselves from either of these two possibilities, would naturally think of Carter first. After all, he is disposable, irrelevant and already has damaged his legacy irrevocably; he is a perfect candidate to fall on his sword.
The rest of us are thinking “Huh?”, what’s racism got to do with the repartee at hand? What is the big deal that Obama happens to be of a darker skin color than myself or you perhaps? Doesn’t it matter most of all that he be an American (not a slash type American such as an African/American-that would imply that he is not totally committed to America and retains the right to deny us, doesn’t it?) Doesn’t it matter mostly that our President be a patriot, looking out for our country’s safety and the freedom of its citizens, and above all, preserve and uphold the Constitution?
Well, that is where the tar hits the road (pardon the usage, see disclaimer regarding use of old sayings that may imply directly or indirectly any color or lack of color thereof). President Obama has proved himself to be at best an amateur, especially at foreign policy, and has alienated our allies, he has endangered our safety and made our country look foolish and weak to our enemies. He has sworn an oath to uphold and preserve the Constitution, yet he has proclaimed it to be imperfect and needing of alteration. He is an all but avowed Marxist, after all, we are judged by the company we keep. Are we expected to stifle our opinions and political discourse because our less than perfect President is of color? Are we supposed to ignore the sense of endangerment he has given us just because Jimmy Carter or even Bill Cosby have had a brain infarction? Could the Democrats quit the whining, pissing and moaning because they woke up the Silent Majority and we refuse to stand down? Or perhaps by pointing the finger at the American public, they are attempting to deflect their own guilt; after all, when you point your finger at someone, three are pointing right back at you.
