Affirmative action. Saying it is enough to send a self-respecting conservative into a frothing frenzy. Blood boils. Necks turn red (if they’re not already). Steams shoots from the ears (and sometimes from the eyes). And I’ve even witnessed a few synaptic implosions, which tends to cure mild brain damage.

But just what the hell is an “affirmative action president”?

According to Conservapedia, an affirmative action president is one that is elected primarily because of his race.

The phrase was coined, evidently, by right wingnut Michael Savage, who reportedly said that America’s not ready for an affirmative action president. Maybe there’s a point there, somewhere, but would any of these conservapricks like to explain how we were ready for a hostile takeover by the knuckle dragging segment now known as Bush’s Cabal (OK, I made that up; I justed wanted to coin a phrase too)?

Conservapedia’s definition aside, I’m not sure that Barack Obama, if he is elected, would be elected on race alone. A goodly number of voters cast votes against someone rather than for someone, which means what? They’d be voting against McCain because he’s white? Not likely. I won’t vote for McCain, even if I don’t vote for Obama. I won’t vote for him because he doesn’t represent my values and because I think he’s given up on his own values. He’s become a Neo-con shill, which is what I think he believes will get him elected. If it does then it will only prove that Liberty has lost and Alexander Hamilton got the last laugh.

Honestly, Conservapedia’s rhetoric is just a blow-hard’s gust of tonsil snot. If Obama wins, it will likely be because the Republican Party isn’t worth the effort it will take to drain the dirty bath water.
