I Cried

I do a lot of posting over at Digg, because liberals, for some reason, can't adhere to my simple comments policy and their posts invariably get deleted, so I can't practice my shooting here. They hate me, HATE ME over there. And this could be why. Someone posted a "poem" about voting for Obama and I just HAD to respond. The poem

Today, I cried…..I voted for a black man and, I cried.

I cried for my father and my grandfather and all grandfathers before him. I cried for my uncles, my four brothers, my seventeen nephews, my two sons, my six grandsons and one great-grand son.

I cried for the black men I have loved and those that have loved me.

I cried for the millions of little black boys (not forgetting the girls) over the centuries that did not, in their wildest dreams, imagine that they could run for [the] Office [of President]. I cried for their despair…

I cried for all the men and boys incarcerated [justly, as well as unjustly] that lost hope in themselves and [might have taken] the low road.

I cried, I cried and I cried ….

I know that this was “just the primary.” But whatever the end result may be, today I voted in the United States of America for a black man, and .. I cried.

If I should die before the presidential election it will be OK, Because today I voted. I voted for a black man and I cried.

My response:

Gee, that was (sniff) touching. Let's see what I can come up with. Today, I cried…..I voted for a Republican and, I cried. I cried for millions of black men, whom the Democrats hold in chains of ideology, just as surely as they once held them in chains of iron.. I cried for generations of black people, who voted for Democrats and were kicked to the curb after every election. I cried for the black men I have admired and those who have admired me. I cried for the millions of little black boys (not forgetting the girls) over the centuries who lived in the worst possible conditions in cities that have a black mayor, a black police chief and a black superintendent of schools. I cried for their despair….for their parents believing that the solution to their problems rests in politics and in the Democrat party. I cried for all the men and boys who don't know that the Republicans shed blood to free them from slavery, who don't know that Republicans fought against black codes, lynch law, Jim Crow, segregation, who fought against the Democrat Party, which opposed every piece of civil rights legislation from 1865 to 1965. I cried, I cried and I cried …. I know that this was “just the primary.” But whatever the end result may be, today I voted in the United States of America for a Republican, and .. I cried. If I should die before the presidential election it will be OK, Because today I voted. I voted for a Republican and I cried for all the black people who swallow the Democrats' propaganda -- that THEY have always been champions of civil rights -- while still enslaving them. (Let me clarify something. All that crying? Only during "Extreme Makeover, Home Edition")

That's why they hate me.
