As we all know, liberals throw around the charge "racism" like rice at a wedding. I maintain this is because never in their lives have they seen actual racism. They just think they see it, hair-triggering at easy, perceived targets without any thought. Like overzealous hunters who have been in the woods for days and WANT to see a deer so badly they start mentally manufacturing them: "Oh! I see one! I see one!" when they are clearly not there. Liberals have co-opted the term (something they are experts at; rather than think through an argument, they just co-opt terms), "racism". I guess they figured they used it so much, why not? Now, in the year 2009, the word racism does not mean what it used to mean. It now means "someone a liberal disagrees with".

Take the sad case of former President Jimmy Carter. (That feels so odd to write). He and his ilk are running around saying if you dare, if you DARE to disagree with, question, or just want some clarification on The Anointed One's murky policies, you, of course, of course, of course a million times, are...wait for it...a RACIST!!!!!!! They finally GOT one! Alert the media! No, they are already on high alert.

There are so many things wrong with this line of thinking it's hard to know where to start. I'll run down a few of the most obvious. The following is by no means a complete list.

1. Consider the source. This is coming from JIMMY CARTER. Why is everyone stopping what they are doing to listen to the worst president in history (to date...we've got someone anxiously following his great model now). Liberals, obviously longing for the days of gas lines, high unemployment and inflation and hostage crises, are slavishly taking notes as their guru spouts his wisdom.

2. Carter himself could genuinely be charged with racism, in the form of anti-Semitism. His policies regarding Israel and the Jews have been abhorrent, and from his presidency well into the present day, he hasn't stopped hating the Jews and railing against the state of Israel. Maybe that's why Carter is so in tune with the notion of racism. Takes one to know one.

3. During the campaign, we never stopped hearing admonitions of "If we don't elect Obama, the country is racist". Well, we elected him. That wasn't enough. We're still racist. The shouters during the 2008 presidential campaign never mentioned that at the time. See, that's what liberals do. They are constantly changing their standard. No one can measure up. They're so busy crying "racism" all the time they've forgotten what it means. I hope an actual racist never comes along. They'd be the boy who cried racist.

4. Obama is half black and half white. That never enters into the racist-accuser's agenda. Besides being totally against his policies, I'm also against his white half. (?) But, you know, being racist against whites is A-OK in their book. It never even occurred to them.

5. And finally, my trump card. According to the idiots without a coherent argument, if you are against Obama's policies, you are a racist. By that logic -- following their OWN logic -- we have to LIKE everything he does solely because of his race. Isn't THAT a racist policy? Preferring someone because of their race is racism. I just get the idea that Carter doesn't really even know his policies all that well. But if you dare to be against them, you are automatically graded "racist" like beef is graded "A". You know, with a big, immediate stamp. They only do that because they like to think there is no comeback to that. There is. The truth.
