Election 2008: Is Barack Obama's small-town America really a land of bitter gun-toting, Bible-thumping racists? Or are they just God-fearing American patriots? Maybe we should ask his "typical white" grandmother. Read More: Election 2008 Many pundits call it a gaffe, but we see Barack Obama's remarks to a bunch of San Francisco Democrats about small town people in Pennsylvania as a revelation. The remarks of our first "post-racial" presidential candidate go a long way towards explaining how he could listen to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright talk about the "United States of White America" for two decades. Meeting privately with a group of donors in the Bay Area's super-liberal Marin County on April 6, the most eloquent presidential candidate perhaps of all time told them of "small towns in Pennsylvania" and in the Midwest beset by job losses in a changing economy. He told of how "they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment" to vent their frustrations. On Saturday, talking to the bitter townspeople of Muncie, Ind., he admitted that despite his oratorical skills that many have called inspiring, he "didn't say it as well as I should have" even though the "underlying truth of what I said remains." The underlying truth is that people "cling" to their guns and their faith because of a document called the Declaration of Independence, signed in Philadelphia, where church bells rang out on July 4, 1776. They "cling" to them not because they aren't multimillionaires like Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, who only as a result of her husband's candidacy suddenly became proud of her country. They cling to them because they believe God gave them freedom and the right to protect it. In the U.S. Constitution they are given the freedom of religion and the right to bear arms. Their faith, practiced in freedom earned and protected by people with guns, gives them a lasting hope that not even a gifted speaker running for president can provide. They proudly say and sing "God Bless America," not shout "God Damn America," as Obama's pastor of two decades has done. They possess guns because the Constitution says they can. They use those guns not just to hunt, but to protect their homes and their families. Many believe, as the late Charlton Heston believed, that their guns will only be taken from their "cold dead hands." Right now, the U.S. Supreme Court is debating their right to bear arms, and whether the District of Columbia can take them away. As we have noted, Barack Obama's record indicates he would support taking their guns away, something he would call a "common sense restriction" on their rights. Perhaps Obama would like to explain his open border beliefs to the "embittered" people of Hazelton, Pa. Feeling the added burden of illegal immigration in terms of crime and economics, they decided to start removing the incentives for illegal immigration. Under the leadership of Mayor Louis J. Barletta, Hazelton passed an ordinance penalizing landlords that rent to illegals and businesses that give them jobs. Barletta denies racism is the motive, saying, "What I'm doing here is protecting the legal taxpayer of any race." And American citizens of any race. True, not many small-town Pennsylvanians or small-town Americans attended prep schools in Hawaii or live in million-dollar homes. But that does not make them bitter bigots. For a man who was supposed to make stereotyping a thing of the past, he advances a stereotype of his own making.

BO doesn't know the people in PA very well...They're proud of their heritage, of their region and of their lifestyle. They are anti-immigration because it's against the law, the law they respect. Their forefathers came to this country, learned to speak the language and worked through all kinds of hardships. They ain't gonna buy the BS from BO.
We'uns is so bigoted that we dont like anyone that comes from south of I-80. We calls 'em flatlanders. Hell, color makes no difference, they is just damned flatlanders. hehehehehehehehehe Know what them flatlandeers call we'ins?????? I cant post it here, Christine would ban me.
I can't help it if you're from a different tribe than my folk. What's your heritage BTW?
Irish, English and damned French. Those Frenchies snuck in when no one was lookin.
Ahhh ha...French...I should have known it. And your beret? I bet it's navy blue.
Fomenting bitterness is a full time job for Obama isn't it? You think he just might be a tool? The right leader will help relieve you to cast away such antiquated thinking and fetishes. We will give you a new religion and security state. - me http://freedom4um.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=77900&Disp=28#C28
But -- so the questions you're most likely to get about me, 'Well, what is this guy going to do for me? What's the concrete thing?'...So we'll go down a series of talking points. But the truth is, is that, our challenge is to get people persuaded that we can make progress when there's not evidence of that in their daily lives.

That is color banner of French army. hehehehehehe I rarely ever admit to the French connection, just plain shamed. Cross I have to bear. Think I will start lyin and say I am part Norwegian, no one makes fun of them.
hear hear!
not exactly. the Bill of Rights, which would be better named the Bill of Limitations on Government, simply enumerates 10 Creator given rights. btw, this writer also fails to say the true purpose of the 2nd Amendment and that is our defense and protection against a tyrannical state.
Look at those pictures of the bodies of Tibetan protesters and how many have bullet holes in them. When they start grabbing guns and get enough people dis- armed as the power elite plans to make happen, many Americans forced into that desperate a degree of protest will have similar bullet holes in them. The powers that be should never be allowed to not worry about people shooting back. People should protect their guns, buy more and own ammo and the means to make it themselves. They should also be ready for tyrannical moves such as laws punishing people for not reporting 'stolen' guns immediately, as is just a tactic to try to keep guns they want to seize from getting stolen on purpose to protect this resource.
btw, this writer also fails to say the true purpose of the 2nd Amendment and that is our defense and protection against a tyrannical state. Exactly.

Bravo fellow patriot for proclaiming the truth!
Our citizens do not deserve a President as good as Dr. Ron Paul. What we deserve is higher taxes, more government inefficiency, war, regulations and devalued currency.(me) "I am further of opinion that it would be better for us to have [no laws] at all than to have them in so prodigious numbers as we have." "I'm pro-choice.........on light bulbs!" www.alphecca.com /mt_alphecca_archives/002989.html More on Obama's Anti-2A Stance I know that I covered it a month ago but regarding his voting as a state senator, yesterday the AP had more: Obama regularly supported gun-control measures, including a ban on semiautomatic "assault weapons" and a limit on handgun purchases to one a month. He also opposed letting people use a self-defense argument if charged with violating local handgun bans by using weapons in their homes. The bill was a reaction to a Chicago-area man who, after shooting an intruder, was charged with a handgun violation. Supporters framed the issue as a fundamental question of whether homeowners have the right to protect themselves. Obama joined several Chicago Democrats who argued the measure could open loopholes letting gun owners use their weapons on the street. They said local governments should have the final say, but the self-defense exception passed 41- 16 and ultimately became state law. And remember that he is on record as stating that he would like a ban on all sales and transfers of ANY semi-automatic weapon. Barack Obama is for total gun control. He's not getting my vote.

And a lot of politicians (including Saint Obama) apparently don't want you to have a firearm even for that.
