Politics, Religion, Military and whatever else I think of

These are my thoughts about the world. I am a staff sergeant in the Army, so of course I have an opinion. Hope you enjoy, or at the very least, think.

Racism & the Left

So I'm a little confused. Janeane Garofalo says that because I'm a white, conservative male, if I don't support President Obama it's because I'm a racist. She also says that if I support Herman Cain I'm also a racist.
Huh?
President Obama is black, but so is Herman Cain. They couldn't be more different in their backgrounds. They have different "real-world" experiences. They have different ideologies. They have different, well, just about everything. The one thing they share is a high degree of pigmentation in their skin.
So what does that have to do with anything? Plenty if you agree with the open minded and brilliant Garofalo.
According to her, the only way Herman Cain could possibly be a conservative is by being brain washed or displaying Stockholm Syndrome. I don't recall reading any stories where Mr. Cain was held hostage by Conservatives but not reading something isn't proof, right?
I mean, I have no proof that when she was young Garofalo was dropped on her head and scrambled what little brains she has. But that doesn't prove it didn't happen.
The issue I have is that Garofalo loves to call racism when it is convenient for her or gets her some publicity. If you are calling out Herman Cain specifically because he is a black conservative, that makes you racist.
There, I said it. Garofalo is racist. She hates all Conservatives. She hates Palin, Bachmann, Perry and whomever else is on the right. They are all "brain damaged" in her words. But none of them have been accused of being brain washed. Just Herman Cain.
She specifically made that point that as a black man, he must have had something horrible done to him to make him a conservative. The logic follows that any black who is a conservative (hello Justice Thomas) has been broken and not intellectually strong enough to overcome their brain-washers.
Or, there is one other explanation. That the vast majority of blacks have been brain washed to believe that they should automatically be liberals and vote for Democrats.
If you asked what values are taught in black homes I am confident you would hear: God-fearing, hard working, honest, self responsibility... etc. But those are all Conservative ideals. The problem is the left has successfully made blacks think that Democrats are their only choice. Without Democrats there wouldn't be food stamps, welfare checks, etc. But in the same breath the left (rightfully) points out that there are more whites in those programs that blacks.
So why do blacks vote in such majorities for the Democrats? Because they have been brain washed by the left. They leave out details like the Republican party was founded to end slavery. They leave out the John F. Kennedy didn't push for civil rights because he was afraid of losing votes in the South. They ignore that former Democratic Senator, the late Robert Byrd (known as the conscience of the Senate) was a member of the Ku Klux Klan.
But the point of all of this is when someone like Janeane Garofalo pulls out the racism card, maybe you need to look at why she is trying to play it. Is there really racism going on or is it a ploy to demonize one side of an argument with no factual evidence.
Is the TEA Party racist? I'm sure you have heard it is, but where is the proof? Are Republicans racist as a whole? Where is the proof? Is Janeane Garofolo a racist? Yes, because you can simply listen to what she says and know you don't need any more proof.
