BUCHANAN TO OBAMA H/T to Kerry and Doreen
Barack says we need to have a conversation about race in America.? Fair enough. But this time, it has to be a two-way conversation. White America needs to be heard from, not just lectured to. This time, the Silent Majority needs to have its convictions, grievances and demands heard. And among them are these:
First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known.
Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an American.
Second, no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the '60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream.
Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks -- with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas -- to advance black applicants over white applicants.
Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated their time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.
We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude??
Barack talks about new 'ladders of opportunity' for blacks.
Let him go to Altoona ? And Johnstown , and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for 'deserving' white kids.? Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America ? Is it really whiteAmerica 's fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?
Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself?
As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?
Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?
We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena . And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.
Sorry, Barack, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago.
This needs to be passed around because, this is a message everyone needs to hear !!!!!!!
Folks if things don't change within the next 20 years The America that was established by our forbearers will be gone..

A note from Radarsite: After reading this recent article by controversial conservative firebrand Pat Buchanan, the thought occurred to me that one of the consequences of our nation's seismic shift to the left -- as evidenced both in the Pelosi dominated far left Congress and by the unquestionable popularity of the extreme far left's untouchable darling, Barack Obama -- is that unabashed right-wingers like Pat Buchanan are starting to appear less and less radical, and beginning to sound more and more 'mainstream'. Who among us could argue the basic premise of this reasonable essay? Who among us isn't getting sick and tired of this one-way conversation about race and guilt in America? And yet, for so many people -- not just here in America, but all over the world -- this is precisely what this election is all about. And, who knows, if Barack Obama actually wins the presidency conversations like this might never again take place. -rg

Pat really knows how to send the message home and he does it with truth. It's pleasing to note that a white man can just come right out and speak too, without getting all flustered and worried about what others might think.
This is one of Buchanan's strong points. I just wish it were this way too with some bloggers.
As for your computer email me separately and let's see what is wrong with that computer of yours; I am willing to help all I possibly can.
PB has always been a smart guy who made a lot of sense, just people tried to make him out to be some kind of nutjob.
