The Lemming Nation

Obama supporters are a strange and sometimes thoughtless lot. African Americans were said in one poll to be backing Obama at a rate of 98%. Some commentators have suggested this is natural but would it be deemed natural or wholly racist if whites followed McCain in equal numbers. Some Obamites back the junior Senator because they work for government and realize his huge expansion of government will feather their own nests. For similar reasons, those on welfare back Barry. White liberals filled with guilt for slavery and discrimination that ended decades or a century before they were born will cast their votes with Obama. A Vanderbilt student knocked on my door recently, canvassing the neighborhood for Obama. He was white, well-dressed, and evidently upper middle class. After engaging him briefly, I asked him why he was working for the Obama ticket. Giving me a wounded look suggesting how could anyone not back Barack, the young scholar declared, "Because he's cool, man!" These are the ignoramuses that will put Obama in the White House.
