Speaking only for myself, I am thankful that the President spoke those words. I was nonpartisan enough (the older way of saying it is 'man enough') to say so in print. (http://johncwright.livejournal.com/281202.html?nc=58)
Let me say my words again here:
"In this case, where Mr. Carter is encouraging real racists, by convincing them that the majority sides with them, he deserves a gentle rebuff from Mr. Obama. Well spoken, Mr. President, sir!"
Encouraging? I would say so. A real deep-dyed negro-hater watching the telly, seeing, let us say, a well-attended the tax-protest meeting or public march, and hearing from Mr. Carter that all those people are racists, will think those crowds support him and his views, and he will be encouraged and cheered. He may even imagine that bombing one landmark will make the White Races suddenly rise up against the mongrels, because Carter told him those mobs are poised to do so.
I am well aware that the partisans on my side will go along their merry partisan way, and use the comment I admire as some excuse to heap upon Mr. Obama more scorn. But even though I am (obviously) ferociously partisan myself, it is a relief and a joy to be able to lay down the heavy and seething bag-of-scorpions burden of partisanship for a minute, and simply take my hat off to the honorable opposition, shake hands, and say aloud that they are honorable.
I fear that the United States administration is toying with notions like right-to-die that have crept into British health care, and I know that abortion is going to be a centerpiece of Democrat policy, since their entire world-view and sense of self-worth hinges on treating prenatal infanticide as if it were a medical health procedure instead of a medical death procedure. I have good reasons to oppose to the uttermost Mr. Obama and that abomination of desolation called abortion for which he stands: but he is not an enemy. The powers and principalities against which St. Paul told us to war, they are the enemy, the only real enemy.
