The Washington Post.......covering itself in crap once again

Now, you KNOW that this article is a pile of shit, right off of the bat, for four reasons, readily identifiable in the two opening paragraphs.

1.    It is in the Washington Post and critical of Trump (I think they have an entire staff section, the “Trump Derangement Syndrome” desk, devoted to this type of “reportage”). 2.   It is an article covering Obama (actually, Obama’s comments on ANOTHER article, written by 148 black Americans that served in the Obama administration.  This would hardly be news in the real world, but hey, this is the WAPO we are talking of. 3.   It starts off saying that Obama rarely comments on current politics. 4.   It keeps the mantra of racial divide alive.

So, you can see that it is the perfect, anti-Trump hit job.

Let’s take a look at some of the “Hey kettle, meet pot” fantasy literature.

First, the author starts off with the strong, obligatory racial divisiveness, and a pretty standard, leftist effort to confuse the issue.  "We are African Americans, we are patriots, and we refuse to sit idly by," the former Obama administration officials vowed to stand up against the "racism, sexism, homophobia and xenophobia . . . wielded by the president and any elected official complicit in the poisoning of our democracy."  The thing is that, nobody has ever said that black Americans are not patriots….I have served with some very fine black officers and soldiers, and their patriotism was never in question.  So, when President Trump went off on “The Squad”, four women who have nothing in common except that they are women, ignorant and fairly stupid, his remarks had nothing to do with racism, or sexism, or homophobia, or xenophobia”.  As a matter of fact, I defy any thinking individual to draw a line between something that the President says, and connect it to one of those ills for which he is accused. Without changing definitions or the conversation, I don’t think it can be done.

"There is truly nothing more un-American than calling on fellow citizens to leave our country - by citing their immigrant roots, or ancestry, or their unwillingness to sit in quiet obedience while democracy is being undermined."  We do not need to re-hash the “democracy v. republic” argument….there are some people that will never get it or chose to not get it.  But this “pot calling the kettle black” is a little much to swallow without choking.  These “authors”, wrote this article based on their experiences in an Obama administration that undermined everything in the nation.  I mean, I know that the progressives have been working against the spirit and sometimes the letter of the Constitution since before the ink was dry, but this nutbag revolution we are seeing now, ANTIFA, mayors and governors sacrificing their citizenry for illegal aliens, the LBGTQMNOP movement that the media insists is sweeping the nation, STARTED under Obama.  It was Obama and his minions that drove the wedge into the sectors in this nation.  It was Obama that told the great lie (actually, multiple great lies) of Obamacare (supported by media outlets such as the WAPO).  It was Obama that made it clear, through the bureaucracy, that your qualifications DID include your ethnicity, and increasingly your sexual orientation, as much or more.  It was the rising tide of progressivism under Obama that cemented the grievance class hierarchy, by Balkanizing the nation.  For these authors to claim that democracy is being undermined sounds more like one of their own job descriptions, and less like an indictment of President Trump.

Second……this idea that Obama rarely comments on current politics, in addition to being a LIE, is ludicrous.  That is all that man (I can call him a man…..right?) has done since he left office….here in the US, more appallingly abroad where his global elitist attitude is worshipped.  He has never missed a chance to crap on President Trump, by name or inference.  Additionally, since he has been out of office, Obama has worked surreptitiously to ensure that the progressives return to power.  He has SEVERAL, well financed operations aimed at installing the socialist dream. Additionally, this idea that twenty-plus democrat candidates for the party presidential nomination has led to Obama fading away from the public eye in order to not draw attention to himself is complete and utter bullshit.  We saw eight years of his self love narcissism, the idea that he would back off now flies directly in the eye of what he has proven to be.

Third, and you gotta love this…..But those who worked for him wrote that watching up close as racism surged during and after the first black presidency, "provided jet-fuel for our activism, especially in moments such as these."  Really?  I think I addressed this already, but just in case……when the first black President surrounds himself with anti-American advisors, and a racist attorney general (two), and racist “Czar’s”, and trash talks the nation throughout the world, I think it is fair to say that “moments such as these” were institutionalized under that first black President.

I am sure that the Washington Post thinks it is covering itself in glory with this sort of hero worship drivel.  But if I had said or written something like this, my mother would have washed my mouth out with soap….or beat my ass, for lying.
