In today’s National Review Online, John Bolton, a former U.S. representative to the United Nations, delivers a stinging condemnation on what he describes as President Obama’s foreign non-policy worldview and feeble attempts at international relations. In gamer’s parlance, he calls him a n00b. It is an interesting read.
Dear Mr. Hoffa,
Putting the no doubt metaphorical intent of your tirade on Labor Day aside and looking merely at what was implied, my only response is, “Bring it on!”
P.S., As a member of God’s Blessed Few (SWCM)*, I should in fairness point out we have most of the guns. Jackass.
Sincerely,

*Please see my previous post for what this means. I was serious about embracing it.
I am racist. “What?” you say. Yes, I have decided to embrace my inner Klansman. Before the current political cycle that we are in, I was an assumed racist for being a white, Southern, Conservative male. A few years ago, I became a racist because I questioned the capability of our current “Dear Leader” during his election. Now, because I support the Tea Party which is advocating for fiscal responsibility, entitlement cuts, and a protected border, I have strange desires to lynch black people in trees as articulated by Rep. Andre Carson (D-Ind.) of the Congressional Black Caucus on August 28, 2011. I feel the need to immediately go and cut up my sheets for a hood. Then I remember that my present economic woes mean that the sheets are too thin and full of holes, guaranteeing a positive identification. So, I stand forth sheetless and proud, informing the world of my racism.
My hometown is in Livingston Parish, Louisiana, which has had a long tumultuous history in race relations. Only recently have we begun to “celebrate” Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Current population demographics reflect this history, with Livingston Parish having a white population of 91.9%*. This may not mean much to the casual reader, but Livingston’s neighboring parishes are quite lower – St. Helena 44.9%, East Baton Rouge 48.8%, Tangipahoa 66.2%, and Ascension 73.3%. Louisiana’s total white population is 62.2%. While other historical factors have played a part, racism is an integral issue in the parish. So, I know what racism is, having grown up among it.
My own personal views on different races have been relatively benign. I have always believed that as long as a culture or people have good looking women and good food, I am all for them. Having lived in California for 2 years, I know that there are many fine Hispanic women and I love Mexican food. My 3 years in Asia have increased my appreciation for what they have to offer. I love mostly all peoples. The mostly stems from September 11th, where I was forced to amend my universal brotherly love, excluding those who have a strong desire to blow me up. Plus, their food is mediocre and they cover their women up.
The issue that I and others are having is that certain groups are changing the definition of what words mean. Does racism mean opposition to black leaders? Or support of a protected border that regulates the lawful entry of Hispanics? They are no longer words denoting black and white concepts, but widely changing shades of gray. In doing this, they lose their meaning. I therefore embrace my racism because I can not escape it except by blindly accepting agendas to which I am opposed.
Perhaps in a future post, I may describe my embracing the title of terrorist.
