The "R" Word

The "R" Word is coming soon. I can just sense it. The setup is being put together. Americans are being desensitized to the word Trillion regarding dollars. Remember Dr. Evil in Austin Powers? He comes out of a 30-year hibernation and demands One MILLION Dollars and has to be told that figure isn't anything any more. Well, folks, that's where we're at.

Now, what exactly is the "R" word you ask?

Reparations. For slavery. From white folk to black folk. That's just a summary of course. But I believe that it is somewhere in the Obama Agenda. Probably under some other name. Perhaps it's ACORN who will be in a position to oversee it. After all, they could be poised to receive billions of dollars from the Stimulus package. What better way to use it?

But I must object to this idea of reparations. My grandparents (both sides) owned no slaves and weren't even in America until 1924. So why would my tax dollars be ripe for the pickin'? And there are many black folk who were not here until the 1900s - not ancestors of slaves. Why, our own president Barack Hussein Obama wasn't born in USA, father was Kenyan, and mother a Kansan. He's not descended from any American Slaves.

DIRTY LITTLE SECRET
And what about slaves who were sold by fellow Africans to whites? Why not go back to the source and get reparation money from them? Because that's the dirty little secret Liberals don't want you to know about or remember. Many slaves were sold by other African groups. The Native Americans had slaves, the Romans had slaves, the Inca and other South American groups had slaves. The ancient Egyptians, Hebrews, Babylonians, Assyrians, Greeks, gosh, they ALL had slaves.

INDENTURED SERVITUDE
And don't forget about all the Indentured Servants - mostly poor Irish and English people forcibly taken to early America where they could 'work off' their slave condition after 7 years and obtain some land and sheep or whatever. Why these people were treated even worse than Slaves. Most never got their land or animals. They got no education. They had to run off into the woods and hills for their survival. AND they are the only group of people that can be made fun of and maligned without fear of political correctness stepping up to the plate. Who are these people? REDNECKS. That's what we call them. They worked hard in the fields and their necks were burnt by the sun. That's where the name comes from. They were the ones in the hill with the 'illegal' stills during prohibition. By God, they fought for their rights. Today their descendants are still in America, in the same areas they originally had escaped to. WHO OWES them reparations?

So be prepared taxpayers. I'm telling you so.
