Unfair and Balanced

In order to bring balance to this blog's cartoons, herein is offered possibly a more extreme example of a view from the left ... found on Politico.

Never-Trumpers

The Birkenstock crowd fill their bumpers

With twisted rants as never-Trumpers

They claim him to be a hifalutin

Secret fan of Russia's Putin

They wear "pussy" hats to show resistance

To any who might support his existence

They protest the Wall and the travel ban

And claim his love for the Klu Klux Klan

They stay up nights concocting zingers

And give his limo their middle fingers

They mock and sneer and call him crazy

But somehow never deem him lazy

They fear his thumb on the nuclear button

And diss him as a McDonald's glutton

They want his head like John the Baptist

As punishment for being neo-fascist

But most of all these liberal Seraphim

Wish Robert Mueller would castrate him ...

The Race Card

Let me see … the United States freed the slaves about 150 years ago and, in the process, sacrificed over 600,000 of our young men. It also stopped school segregation and Jim Crow laws about 60 years ago. And, as an act of atonement, it has long encouraged racial preferences to be used in employment and education. It has had two black Supreme Court justices, two black Secretaries of State, one black Attorney General and multiple black Presidential cabinet secretaries and top-level advisers, many black Senators, Representatives, state Governors and city Mayors, and numerous black corporate CEOs, university Presidents, sports personalities, movie/music stars, TV poobahs, and other millionaire glitterati … and now the U.S. has a black in the highest office in the land … its President … all elected, appointed or appreciated by a population which is, by its majority, not black.

One would think that these many enlightened accomplishments might begin to remove the stain of slavery from the American psyche (our original sin as so aptly described by Condoleezza Rice.)  But no … we are still racists. Not only are whites racists, but we are often compared to the Klu Klux Klan … itching to scare the black man into submission with a burning cross. We are an unrecoverable and vile form of humanity who cannot be reformed or forgiven for the sins of our forebearers … even beyond the seventh generation (the seeming Biblical limit of sin’s legacy.)

Recently, Michelle Obama, in a high-school graduation address, told her starry-eyed audience that they still hold secret prejudice against the likes of her … see: here. And Attorney General, Eric Holder has let go with both barrels. First saying that anyone who opposes President Obama’s policies is guilty of “quiet prejudice” … see: here. And then, paradoxically suggested that colorblindness is not the way to end discrimination … see: here.

I guess playing the race card in politics has become second nature to many on the left … particularly when your pile of accomplishment chips is so diminished. But, I for one am more than ready to call the left's bluff.

Continued winning at political poker requires a lot more than just bluster … and a race card.
