(333 posts)Except they don't care. You think they don't know these things, well they do. They just don't care. One reason for this apathy is Obama. Yes, most of these extreme right wing knuckleheads never, ever expected to see a Black man become president in these United States. His historic win sent shock waves throughout the right wing communities. And if it happened once, it may happen again, or it could be a woman, or another non-white minority. The conservative right wing already feel disenfranchised (although they are the most privileged in all the land), they feel left out, they feel like the forgotten minority. Watching Obama take center stage and then propose changes, not just for Blacks, but for all Americans. Yes this is what made this Black man so special, not perfect, certainly not error free, but special. Special because he had enormous respect for his fellow man and his country. He knew his appointment was not something to take for granted so he gave it all he had. It was like a gift. He knew he had to be a beacon, an example for all, especially black children. So he didn't break the law or commit the crimes the conservatives accused him of---because he knew how important his position in life was. But it didn't stop conservatives from accusing him and trying to bring him down. They were scared, scared that if they didn't tarnish Obama, another minority would win, a woman. Compounding this fear is the reality of immigrants crossing boarder creating greater fear that future generations of white conservatives will be pushed aside. Newsweek and Time magazine and USA today reported decades ago that the population of Latin people in this country will outnumber whites by 2050. This was reported back in 1983. What the conservatives need is someone who has the balls to stop it! Rush Limpbaugh won't, none of the conservative candidates we've witness couldn't or wouldn't. Reagan and Newt Gingrich made a big splash, but petered out. Talk radio, the fakenews network (foxnews), the unbelievably hypocritical christian right failed. Now we have trump! Call him a patsy, call him a fool, call him whatever, he is the man they expect to get it done. They don't care about his flaws, his ineptness, the rapes. They only want him to accomplish the things they want done.
