Magic Negro funny...if you’re not a Democrat

Paul Shanklin wrote a song parody to the tune of “Puff the Magic Dragon” about the March 2007 opinion piece by LA Times writer David Ehrenstein. The title of Ehrenstein’s piece was “Obama the Magic Negro”, about how voting for Obama would alleviate the collective white guilt built up about all the wrongs the white race has committed in the past.

What is not written in the variety of liberal columns decrying this latest example of conservative hate is the list of parodies and outright vicious slanders written about Republican candidates and Presidents. Where is it stated that Democrats get a pass in their behavior? Who decreed that the 98% of the media who slavishly follow liberal dictates get to not only anoint our leadership, but also are given the power to destroy the reputation of anyone who disagrees with their political opinion.

Barrack Obama is not God; he isn’t even god with the little “g”. He is a fallible human animal, just like all the rest of us. A number of people reading this reading may consider that last statement as blasphemy of the highest order. I’ll go along with them if Obama can pass one little test. All he has to do is be born of a virgin, follow God’s law implicitly while performing several verifiable miracles, be crucified unjustly, killed and then rise again after three days in the presence of witnesses and then rise into heaven. If he can do that, he’s got my vote for deity status.

Another example of liberal heavy-handedness is the uproar over Obama’s invitation of Pastor Rick Warren, author of “The Purpose Driven Life”. That book wasn’t the unforgivable sin for the liberals, though it wasn’t taken as an example of proper teaching. No, Warren’s sin was to say he agreed with California’s Prop 8. He didn’t campaign for the proposition’s passage. He didn’t spend much time discussing it, not even from the pulpit. All he did was exercise his constitutional right to state an opinion, but as far as the liberals are concerned, only they have that right.

If Pastor Warren is allowed to be involved in the inauguration of America’s first President of color, according to the liberal, a crime against the constitution will be committed. To be accurate, Obama is not black, he is not Negro, he is of mixed parentage; black and white. In spite of this glaring inconsistency, the liberal media considers Barrack Obama to be the leader on their short list of historic black American political figures. Figures such as Justice Thomas and Secretary of State Rice need not apply. According to liberal dogma, they surrendered their black identity when they “gasp” joined the conservative ranks.

Liberals have somehow gotten the idea that Black American can only go one way, to the left. This flies in the face of statistical demography. In my own Assembly district in Nevada, more black voters than not voted for candidates the liberals would have said not to. A number of these candidates were not Republican, and to be completely honest, they were not Democrat, even though they ran under the label; they were representatives, not politicians.

America’s voting public comes in every skin tone imaginable, not just the pale peach we call white, or the sienna brown we call black. In all colors, including the ruddy American tones and the ocher oriental, they operate under a constitution that was written by men well aware of what an oppressive governmental system can and will do. If the voters allow the media to make their decisions for them, they deserve every loss of freedom that will occur. It is obvious to any observer with half a brain that the ownership of today’s media considers the First Amendment their sole property and that all others, especially those few in the media who do not share their socialistic dictatorship agenda, have no such right. Paul Shanklin and Rick Warren, and yes even President-elect Obama have placed themselves directly into the crosshairs of this conflict by standing up for their beliefs.

I wish more Americans would do the same.
