The Salt Speaks

Ah, more enlightenment from the heartland, eastern Ohio, as Palin continues to barnstorm and heal the infirm GOP under her revival (or circus) tent.

"Negra?" Negra! Wow - that's old school racism. That's George Wallace racism. That's some Jim Crowe, separate-but-equal water fountain hatefulness. You just don't hear the feminine form of the old classic "Negro" these days. Very grizzled, sir. I hope McCain fires them up tonight and chides Obama for being too uppity.

"If you have a Negra running for president, he ain't a first-stringer, he's definitely a second-stringer." Sure, but Vinnie "the Microwave" Johnson came off the bench for the Detroit Pistons and changed the course of the 1989 Finals. I'm just saying Obama could win the sixth man award in his first term.

"[Obama] believes that us white people are trash." He doesn't believe it - he knows it. It's a fact when your Dairy Queen mouth is worthy of a garbage receptacle. These are not simple folks. These are dangerously ignorant folks. Vapid folks. A pronounced difference.

Ignorance reaches a point where you must stop apologizing for it.

"Palin is infused by the holy spirit." Please don't tell me these wackadoos think Trig is the second coming.

Let me respond to Palin's "folks," "dudes," "guys and gals," "Joe Six-Packs," "hockey moms" and "workers" in familiar terms:

"Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men."

- Matthew 5:13

Cast out into the wilderness in 20 days. I will pray for it.
