HOW BESTIAL GOP RELATES TO OBAMA

Chris Hayes had an interesting twist on voter turnout in his MSNBC program “All In with Chris Hayes” last night. It was the belief of some Republicans that if they could increase the turnout of white voters and suppress the minority vote enough, which would be the Democratic vote they could win elections. Think about it; they could continue to be racists and still win elections.  At first, this struck me as being something bizarre, anachronistic in the 21^st century. Then I remembered my own posts on firetreepub.blogspot.com. This reflects exactly what conservatism is; the closely held, almost bestial belief grounded in xenophobia: the innate fear of something different. They seem to believe that American men are a tribe of all a Christian Anglo-Saxon herd of one kind of people with “their women” they control to the point they do not deserve consideration. They are fiercely territorial in as much as they are exist in one Nation, which they control; they own it. However, the stake their territorial claims to each diminishing unit; if not one nation, then one state, if not one state, then one district and eventually to their home, even if it is rented. Just as their racism has its genetic base in xenophobia, their territoriality seems to have its base in dominance hierarchy.

When I think of the attitude they have toward Obama, it becomes obvious to me why they deny he was born in the United States. Their attitude toward Democrats is also obvious; they are not in charge in their own territory. The fact is that Obama is half-black and half-white, but his whiteness disappears in their eyes—his Kenyan blackness dominates, thus he in the wrong herd.  He is in the wrong territory, he is the wrong color, and he is in the wrong party.  No wonder they hate Obama: it is their genes.
