Sharpton and Jackson hinder post-racial America

Pause for a minute. May I ask, What is your American dream?

For some, it is simply owning a home in suburbia, big green lawns and a loving family to enjoy it with. Some dream of climbing the corporate ladder, becoming an executive at a major corporation. Others dream of owning and growing a business. And for Rush Limbaugh, being a football fan all his life, his dream was to own a football team.

Limbaugh has worked hard to get where he is today, earning the reputation among his talk radio peers as “The Godfather.” He even worked as an NFL commentator on ESPN for his love of the game. He certainly has amassed the hard-earned wealth to be able to accomplish his dream of owning an NFL team, partnering with other investors to buy the St. Louis Rams.

But alas, his dream would not come true and the result brings shame to many: the NFL, the black athletes opposed of the deal, the mainstream media, and Race Card Hall of Fame players Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.

The NFL, in one of its most ironic gestures, denied the sale of a team because, truth be told, it’s freaked out about Rush Limbaugh’s long-standing conservative stance, yet it’s an organization that’s managing a group of strong, mean men. Now we know Limbaugh is more feared than a group of 350-lb. professional athletes.

It all goes back to a comment made by Limbaugh in 2003 about quarterback Donovan McNabb. Limbaugh apologized and subsequently resigned from ESPN because of the aftermath surrounding that remark. Was he racist for saying that the media wanted a black quarterback to do well? It was more of stupidity than racism.

But several NFL players and Commissioner Roger Goodell couldn’t move on from that incident. Add on to the fact that race-baiters Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson joined the fight to prevent Limbaugh from owning the Rams. As Andy McCarthy of NRO wrote, “So much for the post-racial America.”

There’s no way American can be post-racial as long as Sharpton and Jackson are taken somewhat seriously for their “work” and the mainstream media giving them the attention they do not deserve.

      It seems to me that all the negative vibes this blowhard (Rush Hudson Limbaugh A.KA. Jeff Christie) has been spewing over these many years has come back to blow back on his face (A classic “Blow Back”). He always tries to give off the airs that he can have anything he wants but as we all witness those with more money and more influence tossed him aside like sack of potatoes and the ultimate insult was that it was done in public (money don’t buy you everything butterball).

      Now of course he blames everyone else (Michael J. Fox, Perez Hilton, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Sonia Sotomayor, Hillary Clinton, Olympia Snowe, ESPN, NFL, the media, basically people of color, the handicapped, women and gays) when of course all you have to do is listen to his show and plainly hear his daily prejudices filled sermons. So NFL, I salute you decision, job well done. And to the whaling cry baby perched on his self made pedestal, quit your whining it was your own fault. He is reaping what he has sowed, KARMA, “palin and simple” like his followers. Don’t we all feel better?

      Rush Limbaugh: Transcript of radio broadcast from Oct. 14, 2008
      By Keith Vance
      TRANSCRIPT OF RUSH LIMBAUGH ON HIS RADIO SHOW FROM OCT. 14, 2008

      Editor’s note: This is a verbatim transcript of Limbaugh explaining how ACORN, Barack Obama, Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright are all involved in a radical leftwing conspiracy to teach black kids to hate America.

      From the time of my birth 57 years ago to today, this country has grown and expanded, prosperity has opened its doors for more and more people around the world, not just people born in this country.

      We know the stories of asians immigrating and running rings around people born in this country academically in California. We know all about the immigration, legal and illegal, to get into the country. We know that the standard of living has risen. We know that technological advancement is going along at light speed.

      And yet, during this period of time, whether it be the last 57 years, or the last 20 years, it seems that the majority of the black population has remained angry, frustrated and behind – they’ve been left behind. They’re acting like they’ve been left behind, and of course we’ve heard that this is because of racism, natural systemic institutional racism in America. We’re unfair. That this country is just horrible and rotten.

      Do you ever ask yourself how it is that people not even born here can come here and in a few short years begin prospering in school, they’re own business, and yet people who are born in this country somehow have been raised to hate it – to still think they’re back in the days of slavery.

      I actually think, after studying all this ACORN stuff, and reading what Stanley Kurtz has written about this, I actually believe that what has taken place here, in addition to liberal Democrat legislation – such as the great society and the war on poverty, which a lot of people would now acknowledge really busted up the black family by the government taking the place of a husband and father – he’s free to roam around and bear no responsibility. The mother remained the mother, she got the financial assistance from this legislation from the federal government. The federal government became the father. The father didn’t have to hang around in order for the kids to be OK – depending on how you define OK.

      And as you study more and more of this ACORN stuff you find that it has been part of an entire movement that has been going for two maybe three decades right under our noses. We thought that it was just liberal welfare policies and all that that kept blacks from progressing while other minorities grew and prospered but no. It is these wackos from Bill Ayers to Jeremiah Wright to other anti-american afro-centric black liberation theologists, working with ACORN, and Barack Obama is smack dab in the middle of it. They have been training young black kids to hate hate hate this country. And they trained their parents before that to hate hate hate this country. It was a movement. It was a Bill Ayers anti-capitalist anti-american educational movement. ACORN is how it was implemented right under our noses.

      They’re doing far more folks than just cheating when it comes to elections and registration. They’re in deep in this mortgage crisis. ACORN and Obama, and Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, the Democrat Party have their fingerprints the sub-prime mortgage crisis. The whole concept of affordable housing was people who can’t afford a mortgage are going to get one, because America is unfair.

      It has been a movement. It has been a religion. And Obama and Jeremiah Wright and William Ayers were all up to their big ears in it.

      This is only one example, he real sounds like America’s Uniter, not a Divider, when it comes to race relations. Rush will not sue because he knows they will file a counter compliant and he will be deposed and like Nixon he knows that the tapes will sink him. For so many years he has spent his time on the radio mis-labeling and/ or mis-characterizing others. Poor little “self-centered” Rush, no out except creating the myth that everyone is out to get him. Sorry sucka you can only yourself to blame for your idiot comments. He finally had his judgment day where the NFL wins and tubby loses. Tee, hee…
