Enough already


Why is it that we're not allowed to criticize Obama?
My very first entry on Pagan Vigil was my infamous True Believer Rant. I'd been putting it up for months on various lists (good luck finding it anywhere else), and the result was almost always the same.

How could I dare say that liberals and progressives were more intolerant than conservatives?

Well, here we are in 2009, with the first black President, and it's still happening.

Almost any criticism of the Imperious Leader is passed off as racism.

I really get tired of defending my credentials.

So let's put this all in perspective.

My mother's family hails from Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee. And not the good parts. Yes, there is a bit of "mixed" ancestry there. Heck, my grandparents didn't even have indoor plumbing until after they moved to Arizona in 1950. Don't get me started on shoes.

I was born on the Navajo reservation. I lived in Phoenix for a time, and from the time I was in fifth grade through my graduating high school, I lived right next to the reservation.

In my Corporate Clone days, I had a discrimination lawsuit filed against me. It lasted only until I took the attorney into my department and showed him that about forty percent of my staff was Diné (Navajo to English speakers).

I've slept with women who happened to be black, Japanese, Diné, white, Apache, Latina, Polynesian, and a few others. No, not all at the same time. I was more interested in the fact that each was a lady willing to use her mind then I was her skin color. That's what gets my engine running. Sure, looks can rev things up more, but if you can't think, I usually don't pay much attention.

In short, I am one of the most unracist people you are likely to meet.

I'm the guy who keeps saying that the only race that matters is human.

So when I criticize Obama, it's because I think his ideas are bad and destructive. It has nothing to do with anything else.
