    Funny...

    I probably would have liked this last week. But since Obama and the Democratic leadership decided to screw the Fourth Amendment and give the telecom industry amnesty...oddly enough, I'm just not that outraged.

    Yeah, racism is offensive. But it bothered me more when I was able to believe that Obama was a decent, honest person. Now that I know that he's just another corrupt and power-mad politician, well, I don't really care.

    The Dems have shown themselves to be nothing more than Republican-lite - and that's apparently what they want to be. So if their brethren in the media want to stir up the racism issue, I can only see it as more smoke and mirrors, designed to blind us to the fact that they're selling out our liberties to the highest bidder.

    Actually, it's not funny. It's sad. I'd better go watch some old Marx Brothers movies and cheer up.
