"Special inspiration for African Americans in this the greatest nation on earth. "---John McCain
My hope is that Obama's accomplishment will eradicate the lingering victim consciousness in this race of people who are---and have been----equal citizens with all of their fellow Americans for some time. If this election inspires an understanding of the difference between equality of opportunity and equality of outcome then it will have been well worth it. On the other hand, if it inspires a greater sense of victim consciousness, entitlement and arrogance then it will be a shame.
May God bless America. And God bless both the winners and losers.
I'm Bradley Cotharn, the brother of Greg Cotharn from The End Zone. Thanks for this post. You eloquently expressed what I've been feeling about the racial issues surrounding this election. I shared your post with my wife and my assistant, and they were both also duly impressed. (Quote from assistant: "this is go-o-o-o-d")
ReplyDeleteHi Bradley and thank you for your comments. Now that I've finally gotten G-A....I mean GREG's name down I can now go to work on yours.
ReplyDeleteI thought McCain's speech was tremendous.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog btw!
Anyone else notice McCain shushing his booing audience when McCain mentioned Obama's name?
ReplyDeleteThroughout his campaign, McCain was in the fetal position. He behaved like a coward, and made Palin do the heavy lifting for him, but true to form, he was quick to correct conservatives when it behooved him.
With conservatives like this, who needs liberals?
