Right ways to success

I’ve listened to people on the right who oppose building of the mosque at Ground Zero, together with Limbaugh, Hewitt, and the rest of that crowd. I’ve heard none of them quarrel that the Imam has no right to create the mosque at that place. They have all said that they hold his right to do so. They simply believe, as do I, that it is in poor form. It’s akin to building a Japanese cultural center at Pearl Harbor. No one objects to Japanese cultural centers, just don’t put one.

That’s the reason it’s named demagoguery helping to the bad thoughts of the people is always famous. And the thought that we appreciate brave people? balderdash. That’s the reason people who speak up to defend minorities are brave, as they will always be attacked punished for it. Keep in mind the Freedom Riders who were spat upon and worse for sitting in at lunch counters in the South? They were lucky if they came out of there alive.

What we can’t get our brains around is that the people who spat on school children going to integrated schools, politicians who barred young children from entering school buildings, people who beat, yes and even murdered, freedom riders felt GOOD because they were doing the right thing and everyone they knew agreed with them (which is why they couldn’t be convicted in open court).

When we look back on those time, we want to think: "bigoted people were so dumb then; thank God we’ve learned better."

We’ve educated nothing! We are as bigoted as ever; we’ve just moved our bigotry down the street. While the white Protestant male elite endorsed slavery in the Constitution, and didn’t give ladies the right to vote (which had to be fought hard for almost 150 years later), as late as World War II, almost 174 years later, the overwhelming majority of soldiers surveyed refused to serve with "Negroes" or Jews.

Through memorizing enough civics texts in middle schools, we’ve drummed it into the heads of the majority of people that such prejudice is "wrong." But the idea that prejudice, bigotry, teaming up against people unlike us is alive and well.

And anybody with the boldness to go up against prejudice and who supports the rights of different types of people will pay a cost just ask somebody who backpedaled so fast from his "bravery" that he almost fell on his ass. That kind of caution gets you elected president.

I think anyone who inquiries the placement of the mosque simply must be a racist. Because I discover the mosque at that place(not mosques in general) to be distasteful, you are comparing me to racist murderers. And Nancy Pelosi wants an investigation of anyone who opposes it. It takes a moment for that to sink in. I’m the equivalent of a murdering racist, and I ought to be investigated by the government.
