Quotes of the day
posted at 10:55 pm on September 16, 2009 by Allahpundit
“Jimmy Carter is 84 years old and three decades removed from the White House, but he still has the power to make Democrats run.
‘We should take our cue from President Obama,’ Durbin told POLITICO. ‘As his personal friend for many years, I can tell you, he is the last person to raise this issue.’”
***
“We’re only eight months into the Age of Obama—the period in which he promised to unite our divided country, heal our wounds, and bind up our divisions—and Obama’s critics are now routinely labeled as unpatriotic, racists, liars, mobsters, evil mongers, practitioners of un-American tactics, and more. As Obama’s failures mount up, it will only get worse. The volume will only get louder. And the charges will only get more desperate and incendiary.
It will be an ugly and sad thing to witness. Nervous breakdowns often are.”
***
“I have no quarrel with a president of any race. Obama is not black to me. He’s not half black, half white. He’s president of the United States, and as such, given his agenda, he poses a grave danger to the American I believe in. And that’s all that matters to me. I couldn’t care if he’s a hermaphrodite. I don’t care who he sleeps with. I don’t care where he eats. I don’t care what he eats. I don’t care how he drives. I don’t care about any of that. I don’t care about his haircut. I don’t care whether he’s getting gray. I don’t care about his tie. I don’t care about any of this. I care about his intent to remake this country into a country unlike any of us have ever seen. I have serious concerns about today’s media and their new standard, which is this: Any criticism of an African-American president’s policies or statements or misstatements is racist, and that’s it.
Therefore the question: Can this nation really have an African-American president? Or will the fact that we have an African-American president so paralyze politically correct people in the media that the natural scrutiny and process through which all of our presidents are put through and vetted do not occur because of the fear in the State-Controlled Media of themselves being called racist and the desire to be able to call everyone else racist. In other words, we have a blank slate. We have a president here who is not scrutinized, who is not examined. There is no attempt to be suspicious of power anymore. So is it possible that we really have an African-American president? Or does having an African-American president paralyze the process by which people with that kind of power in our representative republic are kept, quote, unquote, honest?”

Not just now, this technique was tested out during the democratic primaries (Bill Clinton was called a racist) and during the general election (McCain labeled a racist by John Lewis). Looking back into barry’s political career we find that barry always somehow ended up running unopposed – his opponents just happen to fall off, divorce records exposed, scandals that sort of thing. So, the race card did not get its full play until the election of 2008. However, some clever folks did see the potential way back.

They know, but won’t yield to the true tenets of their discipline. To do so would mean losing their investment in, and devotion to, Barry. Furthermore, their tangential understanding of the bogus bill of goods they’ve bought preempts any disciplinary loyalty.

I think even Rosalynn Carter (classy 1st lady) voted for Reagan.

Andrew Sullivan speaks about Charles Johnson:
16 Sep 2009 09:40 pm
The Continued Evolution Of Charles Johnson
The pioneer of the anti-Jihadist blog, Little Green Footballs, is repulsed by some of the developments on the populist, racist right. He’s right to be; and has the courage to say so. For that he is subjected to the usual mau-mauing. Check out his blog. It’s an Yglesias Award in motion.
Mau-mauing? That sounds rather racist from a Brit? So what’s next, will CJ and Sully both appear on Bill Maher’s show, followed by a few doobs and a post show circle jerk?
Mr. Joe on September 16, 2009 at 11:53 PM
What a time it was. Jimmy Carter really was an awful American President. I believe that it’s a good idea to believe people when they show you what they really are. We should only expect that Carter continues to say and do foolish things. He is a fool. I pity him.
redwhiteblue on September 16, 2009 at 11:53 PM
I didn’t like Jimmy Carter… because of his Administration’s weak policies and moronic political activities sucked.
That he was any particular color was UTTERLY meaningless.
Exactly the same applies with Barack Obama.
It is not his color that I care about.
But his transparent undermining of the nation.
profitsbeard on September 16, 2009 at 11:53 PM
Ah, I found it. What I though sounded similar to what Rush said (the last paragraph).

Coulda been Micheal Steele. Woulda been no issue with vetting at that point.
Shoulda have been a lot more lib hate exposing and a moderate winner instead of a radical. Cause the left harbors an inner glowing hot fury they specifically save for Black conservatives.

Actually, that is a good idea. perhaps signs could be held that would inform “journalists” of the news. Maybe that way it could get on TV.
Unfortunately, the only wat for this to be effective would be for about 100 million people to participate, otherwise it would never merit any coverage.
Loxodonta on September 17, 2009 at 12:02 AM
You know I reckon that the post racial period wont start until Obama has left office. Why? because by then the left and the fringe media would have used the race card so heavily to defend Obama from legitimate criticism that it will cease to have any effect what so ever and once that happens race will cease to be a divisive issue that progressives can exploit to further their agenda and keep themselves in power with.
Hellrider on September 17, 2009 at 12:04 AM
Scarf? Funny. To me it looked more like a table cloth from a Pizza Parlor.
I forgot that Carter also legitimized the PLO. Thanks for reminding me. Also Carter essentially caused the Shah of Iran to lose power and triggered the Iranian Revolution.
Shhheeesh. Carter sucked worse than I can even remember.

faraway on September 17, 2009 at 12:06 AM
I’ve long thought one of the reasons Obama appointed Hillary to his administration was to silence Bill, who otherwise would pull more limelight-hogging stunts like the North Korea hostage release. But there is nothing short of death and no one but God who can shut Carter up.
I almost feel sorry for Obama — almost. You can’t pick your predecessors, but you do pick your party.
Terrie on September 17, 2009 at 12:06 AM
Well, if it would only take 100 million, that would mean we would need two trillion.
You know how the MSM has a problem with those 60,000 of us that were in D.C. They can’t count………..or see.
Knucklehead on September 17, 2009 at 12:06 AM
Did you watch the video in the Michelle thread? She says at least one “journalist” did not even know about the ACORN scandal as of two days ago. Can’t be the only one living with blinders on, only talking to people of like minds. Combine willful lying for ideological purposes with complete ignorance and you have an extremely serious problem not only within the field of journalism, but for American society.
Loxodonta on September 17, 2009 at 12:07 AM
No. But we can have an American President. Why do people do that…use their ethnic or racial background as a qualifier? If you go to other countries no one refers to themselves as American-Eygptian or American-British or French-Spanish or German-Danish(although the last one sounds good, and now I’m hungry.) If you’re a citizen of the country that’s what you are. Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine.
Deanna on September 17, 2009 at 12:08 AM
I don’t know how anyone can deny that the opposition to Obama is based in racism. It’s all in the definition.
Here are the facts. Racism has been rising steadily over the last few months. In recent polls, President Obama’s favorability rating has dropped from 70% to 50%. This means the percentage of racists in this country has risen from 30% to 50% – a 67% increase in only eight months! Even more alarming, close to one out of two Americans are now racist. We have reached a tipping point. If this trend continues, the racists will soon be in a majority. Now, more than ever, we need the pundits, ex-presidents, and sages of the mainstream media to speak out. Certainly before – you know – the next election.
mw on September 17, 2009 at 12:08 AM
Yep. ALL Carter! Funny little facts the Liberal News Networks forgot to mention today.

The first time I ever felt ashamed of my country was under Carter. Second time is under Obama.
atheling on September 17, 2009 at 12:21 AM
Everyone told me I was crazy back in November, after the election.
I predicted that Obama would be the LAST time that the Democrats would receive over 90% of the Black vote.
They’re, predictably, going to use the race card, but it isn’t going to work. There is a cognitive disconnect with his ideology and a significant portion of the Black population.
Now that we have a Black president, the argument is going to be ideological eventually. It is already present, and it is growing.
You see…they know their only option is to use the race card, because they fear a national discussion on ideology. They know that a serious discussion means that they will bleed Black support.
Finally, the argument is ideological, not racial.
And they know it…FEAR it.
BOO!
Saltysam on September 17, 2009 at 12:23 AM
I’ve been thinking the same for months now. And Rush just mentioned it today, too.
atheling on September 17, 2009 at 12:23 AM
Carter was bad but at least then I didn’t FEAR my government the way I do today. The FED is out-of-control.

And the good news was that we got Ronald Reagan after all that. Just praying now that we will have a similar fate in the near future. It would be awesome to grow old and tell people that I survived both Carter and Obama (and Bill Clinton just to keep the drama rolling)….and that America – and the WORLD – survived!

Yeah, remember when you were allowed to buy gas depending on your license plate number?
I remember the hostages too, and being so ashamed and upset that the rescue attempt failed, and resulted in deaths of our troops.
I remember oil being so expensive, that one winter, my parents couldn’t afford it all the time and bought a small kerosene heater, which we used to warm the house in the morning.
Man, those days sucked. Then President Reagan was elected and the hostages were released, and it was like the sun rose. We had a decade of confidence, optimism, and hope. Real hope. You felt safe with him in charge.
atheling on September 17, 2009 at 12:28 AM
OT, but those Hofstra kids accused of rape? Well, the girl recanted her accusation and the boys have been freed.
Dusty on September 17, 2009 at 12:28 AM
One of the reasons I greatly enjoy Hot Air is because it is not a mono-culture. Culture has an odd affect on people. You can soak it up unknowingly, like a sponge. You breath culture in every day. And if you live in a mono-culture, you pick up all these beliefs, attitudes, patterns of speech and behavior, without every questioning them, and suddenly they are reality.
Diversity doesn’t prevent this, but it is certainly more difficult to think the emperor is wearing the most beautiful clothes in the world when you have someone telling you flat our that your wrong, and someone else like AP snickering in your ear. Much of liberal academia and the news and entertainment industries simply never have to interact with anyone other than like-minded people. It’s very, very strange and frankly un-American.

An old and weary ex President went out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge top he paused as he went along his way
When all at once a strange herd of red eyed racist bloggers he saw
A-plowing through the ragged sky and up the cloudy draw
Their brands were still a changin’ and their complaints did seem unreal
Their words were strange and their racist breath he could almost feel
A bolt of apprehension went through him as they thundered through the sky
For he saw the racists coming fast and loose and he heard their mournful cry
Yippie yi Ohhhhh
Yippie yi KKKaaaaay
Ghost Racists in the sky
Their faces changed, their eyes were blurred, their palms all soaked with sweat
They’re working hard to sink the sacred Obama, but they ain’t sunk ‘em yet
‘Cause they’ve got to be racists as long as it takes on that blog up in the sky
On themes a snorting racist fire as they ride on Jimmy hears their cry
Yippie yi Ohhhhh
Yippie yi KKKaaaaay
Ghost Racists in the sky
Ghost Racists in the sky
Ghost Racists in the sky

Unlike the public “option” of ObamaCare, and so much of life under totalitarian left-wing governments, conservatism doesn’t come in or offer one size or one flavor. And conservatives ourselves can be quite an unruly bunch. Hard to train. Nearly impossible to heard. We are doomed, I tell you!

Janos Hunyadi on September 17, 2009 at 12:47 AM
The question I would pose to the race-baiters:
Imagine Barack Obama was Republican, was conservative, was pursuing free-market reform of the health care system, was cutting taxes, was lifting regulations, was pursuing pro-life policies, was strengthening our national defense, was defending the liberty of the American people. If he was doing these things, or even a reasonable mix of these things, is there any doubt that the Right would be hailing him as Reagan reborn?
I know I would.
JohnGalt23 on September 17, 2009 at 12:47 AM
Most people are conservative. They just haven’t discovered it yet.
It’s like the fool that laughs at all the humans, pointing and sneering…and then sees his self in the mirror and like a deer caught in headlights says…
“hey, wait a second…I are one.”
Saltysam on September 17, 2009 at 12:51 AM
In that same hypothetical I’d bet 200 hypothetical dollars that you’d hear quiet a bit of Uncle Tom, Oreo, Eggplant and other ‘praise’ from our friendly neighborhood enlightened liberals. And in that hypothetical I know I’d win.
Who exactly are the racists? The people dissenting from this Agenda regardless of Color (we dissented on the same agenda when it was a white southerner) or the people who
automatically assume the very worst about their opposition?

Hey, Everybody. You have to read this article by Lloyd Marcus. It really points out what’s happening to Black conservatives in our country. This is so disgusting. I’m going to find Carter’s email and send him a copy and one to Maxine Waters, and to every other jacka** Congressman who has been saying that we are racists.
This is absolutely disgusting.

I think we get to thank Nixon for the 55 mph…in ’74. I was in driver’s ed. then and remember it was a big deal. But I’m sure Carter found a way to mess the roads up even more – and I say that not out of racism, but out of disgust for the way he messed America up! Just like I feel about Obama today.

I’m pretty sure it was 90, then 75 and Nixon lowered to 65. I thit it was Carter who did the 55, ala Sammy Hagar’s “I can’t drive 55!”

Sorry for the delay in my response. I had to let my dogs out. Hope you’re still up.
I’ve come to enjoy the Hot Air culture a lot. However, methinks the moniker I chose, while true, creates some weirdness and suspicion. I was (was being the operative word) a moderate Democrat for twenty years.
As for academe, yes most academics don’t interact with folks that have perspectives outside their comfort zone. I’m speaking from experience here. I’ve been a conservative for several years, but posting on HA is the first opportunity I’ve had to interact with people who have similar ideologies.

When even liberal Jon Stewart smacks them on his show, it must burn:
“I’m a fake journalist, and I’m embarrassed these guys scooped me. Let’s get to work people.”

Nite again folks, new stories are up!

Oh, of course it was Carter who reached the Big Government Arm into our lives even more! The good news is that it is currently up to each State/Municipality what they want the speed limit to be. I probably shouldn’t have mentioned this…because now some Speed Czar will show up and slap a tax on us.

Don’t worry. Knowing Obama, you won’t get the kind of Speed Czar you are thinking of. On a bright note for Van Jones, he’d probably be perfect for the post.

Oh MY!!
We are in the stage where you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.
