Can't We All Just Get Along??

OK, so now I'm a racist. At least that's what I keep hearing lately. To be honest, I don't pay it much mind, especially we it comes from people like President Jimmy Carter. I never cared much for his policies when he was in office and his rhetoric has only gone down hill since then. When Osama bin Laden recommends your book, it should give a person pause.

Give me a break! Yes, there is racism out there, but the majority of people that are standing up against health care and the other big spending legislation that is being pushed by President Obama and the democrats are against it because of the spending. Frank Luntz did some very interesting research for his latest book, "What Americans Really Want ... Really."

The latest flareup over supposed racism is only the most recent example. America certainly isn't perfect, but as a society, we are intolerant of intolerance, and we'll immediately demonize anyone, anywhere who tries to play the race card. Just ask Bill Clinton.

The real reason why 72% of the people I interviewed say that they're "mad as hell and they're not going to take it anymore" has nothing to do with racism. No, their rage is about a lack of accountability, a lack of respect, and a lack of progress in the nation's capital.

Washington and the folks on the left need to cut out the name calling and pay attention to what the average guy is saying or the may be looking for a new line of work.
