Joe Wilson called out President Obama during his address to Congress. Obama claimed that illegal aliens would not receive government health care. Joe Wilson rightly called him on it. Unfortunately, the floor of the House is not the right place or time. Or is it? Joe Wilson did not put on a whit e pointy hood, nor did he don a white coat with a red cross. If he had, then the term ‘racist’ would apply. The term racist does not apply Joe Wilson, to his outburst or o his beliefs. Not today, and not tomorrow – regardless of what the current administration of thugs and thieves would have you believe.

First: An outburst during a Presidential address is (ahem) tasteless. However, Joe Wilson did not throw a shoe at Obama’s head. That story would certainly be more interesting.

Second: Joe Wilson formally apologized to President Obama for the ‘You Lie’ outburst. Story Over.

Third: President Obama accepted the apology, and said, “The time for games is over.”

Fourth: We have bigger problems than chasing Joe Wilson “through the countryside” and intimidating him into another apology.

Jimmy Carter is a liberal. A radical. A man that is absolutely out of touch with America. Jimmy Carter BELIEVES that many White Americans are fearful of Obama because he is black. Jimmy Carter BELIEVES that an ‘OVERWHELMING portion of the demonstrated animosity” toward Obama is because he is African-American.

Alan Wilson, son of Joe Wilson stated that he “won’t comment on former President Carter, because I don’t know President Carter.” Fair enough.

At this point in our history, I would expect Jimmy Carter to be more in touch, more educated, less fearful. Unfortunately, Jimmy Carter comes across as paranoid of black people and thinks everyone else is too. Carter is either clueless or perhaps he is just a pseudo-Obama friend riding shotgun on Fear Mongering Train. What could he possibly hope to achieve by making such outrageous statements?

So Carter is the guy that fears a black man in the White House. The rest of us, fear the policies, not the man. The second thing Jimmy Carter fears is ending up with the long-standing reputation of being ‘America’s Worst President’. That title is yet to be determined.

Hank Johnson (D-GA), in response to Joe Wilson’s “You Lie!” comment in House chambers said this; “We will probably have folks putting on white hoods and white uniforms again, riding through the countryside intimidating people. That’s the logical conclusion if this kind of attitude is not rebuked.”

Is that really a LOGICAL CONCLUSION? Does Johnson really believe there are a bunch of ‘hooded haters’ that are still out to kill black people? I suppose when you have ignorant comments like that, we don’t have to wait for opinion from Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. Thanks for the favor, Mr. Johnson.

Since when is an apology not good enough? Isn’t this really just the perfect excuse to get black Congressmen and women on film, just to bring up the past? Isn’t this really about creating and maintaining a smoke screen so we, the voters – can’t stay up with what really happens behind closed doors? America has made great strides against racism, and for acceptance and tolerance. Why do people want to keep the past alive? If we have changed, why haven’t they?

If white America is afraid of a black President, who voted for him – just blacks? Not so.

If white America is putting on white hoods and white uniforms – where are they? Surely mainstream media would post photos of these incidents. And surely, they would call people out by name.

If white America is riding through the countryside, intimidating people – where are they?

Where is the outcry about the name calling and fear mongering that comes directly from the White House? There is an ongoing hate message against Republicans, Independents, veterans, patriots and anyone else that opposes current White House policy. The message of hate and fear is propagated by Obama, Pelosi, and other Democrats. It seems like every week they have a new name for people that voted for the other party.

Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi calls those in opposition to policy (not the President) – Astroturf, mobsters, teabaggers (a homosexual act – unrelated to the political movement) and yes, even RACISTS. Is that the type of Decorum and Civility the Democratic Party seeks? If it’s ok in front of the cameras – why place limits on the floor of the House?

If the President of the United States gets caught on mic saying that Kanye West is a JACKASS, why would we give them anything other than what they dish out?

Where there is no substance, there is name calling.

Where there is no policy, there is a constant smoke screen.

Where there is no leadership, there can only be failure.

No comment from Al Sharpton? Silence from Jesse Jackson? Interesting.

Six days after the infamous “YOU LIE” claim by Joe Wilson, Americans have donated nearly $2 MILLION to his campaign. Clearly people are more interested in what he has to say than anything coming out of the White House.

So, I’m wondering this – when can we expect DECORUM AND CIVILITY from Obama & Co.?
