I’ve had more jobs than most families. That may sound weird, but over the course of my life, I’ve held more than 77 jobs. Most for not very long and many at the same time. When you grow up without a lot of money, work isn’t an option; it’s a necessity. In the near dozen or so retail jobs I held when I was younger, there were few things I disliked more than inventory day. The store would close early, and you’d have to stay late, scanning everything to see what they had (and what was stolen). It’s wildly essential information to the business. It’s also wildly important to take an inventory of other things in your life, like, for example, just how horrible Democrats are. If you don’t, like Ferris Bueller said, “you could miss it.”
Let’s start with Barack Obama. The former President likes to think of himself as a statesman but beware. Democrats always declare something they like as the opposite of what it really is. As an aside, a good rule of thumb in life is the louder someone declares themselves to be something, the less likely it is they actually are that thing. Intelligent people don’t need to tell everyone they’re smart; funny people don’t tell everyone how funny they are, honest, loyal, hard-working, etc. If you are something, we’ll pick up on it.
Obama loves himself to the degree that no one can compete. He also leads a life where no one tells him no, at least no one who can make it stick. That, coupled with his general arrogance, empowered him to call South Carolina Senator Tim Scott an “Uncle Tom.”
He didn’t do it directly – a skillful bigot has a thesaurus full of ways to convey their hatred with a wink and a nod, and that’s exactly what Barack did. “There’s a long history of African-American or other minority candidates within the Republican Party who will validate America and say, ‘Everything’s great, and we can make it.’” Obama told former campaign manager David Axelrod of Scott. “And so if a Republican, who may even be sincere in saying, ‘I want us all to live together,’ doesn’t have a plan for how do we address crippling generational poverty that is a consequence of hundreds of years of racism in this society — and we need to do something about that — if that candidate is not willing to acknowledge that, again and again, we’ve seen discrimination in everything from … getting a job to buying a house to how the criminal justice system operates. If somebody’s not proposing, both acknowledging and proposing, elements that say, ‘No, we can’t just ignore all that and pretend as if everything’s equal and fair. We actually have to walk the walk and not just talk the talk.’ If they’re not doing that, then I think people are rightly skeptical.”Read More>>>>>>>:
