When I was a teenager, there was this small little club in Connecticut called The Anthrax that the hardcore and punk and ska bands would play at just about every weekend. There were white kids and black kids and hispanic kids and just about every race of kid you could imagine at these shows. Some of the bands that played had all white members. Some of the bands that played had all black members. And some of the bands that played had a mixture. No one cared what color the people playing the music were. No one cared what color the kid next to you was. We were all there to see a good show and have some fun.
There were a few kids that made T-shirts that said, "END RACISM" on them and we bought them up. There were tons of those shirts made and you would see them all the time at the shows. I remember thinking, "Why the hell are people such jerks? Who cares what color someone is. As long as they are cool to me, I'll be cool to them." White, brown, black, yellow, purple.....it didn't matter. I wore my "END RACISM" shirt with pride. I also remember thinking, "END RACISM....it's a nice thought, but there are too many knuckleheads out there who only see the color of skin for racism to end."
I was wrong! Racism has ended. Racism is gone. Racism is dead.
Don't get me wrong, there are still a bunch of morons out there who base their beliefs, actions and yes , even hatred on skin color. We have to come up with a new word for these sick people because "racist" no longer has the meaning it once did.
Racism now means disagreeing with a President or any politician who happens to be black. Racism is now defined as saying, "You lie!" to a black person when he is not telling the truth. Racism is getting together to protest government policies that we disagree with, as we have a right to under the Constitution. Racism also encompasses not wanting your taxes raised. Racism is wanting our government to actually follow the Constitution. Racism is pointing out that the people surrounding our President are radicals. Racism is not wanting to fund corrupt organizations such as ACORN with taxpayer money. A racist is anyone who is not a liberal. These days, a racist is anyone who believes in conservative ideals. No, not because conservative ideals are based on skin color, because clearly they are not. A conservative is a racist because the liberals say so. A conservative is a racist because anchors on MSNBC say so. A conservative is a racist because they don't bow to the alter of liberalism.
Since I started ProudConservative.com in 2005, I have received hundreds if not thousands of emails and messages calling me a racist. My racist crime? Having a website that promotes conservatism. At first, I was shocked. I mean I knew the stereotype that some ignorant people have of conservatives, but I was amazed at the venom and vitriol sent my way....simply for promoting conservatism. I even wrote an editorial a few years ago entitled, "Who are the real racists?" discussing why conservatives were not racist at all and that it was the liberals that were the true racists.
The emails continued to come in over the years. And each time a new one came in, the word "racist" diminished in meaning. The word "racism" diminished in value. I finally realized, the people calling me a racist have no idea what a racist truly is. They have no idea what racism truly is. But they did know that calling someone a racist would put a person on the defensive even if they had not a single racist bone in their body. It was a word that struck fear into anyone who was called it because the original meaning of the word was so disgusting and so vile and so hateful, no one would want to be called one.
In order not to be called a racist, some people refrained from activities that might have caused them to be called a racist, even if there was no racism involved. For instance, maybe calling a man who happens to be black, a liar. Now if you are white, the liberals believe you can call another white person a liar if he is lying. Heck, according to the liberals, if you are black you can call a white person a liar if he is lying. However, no matter what, you may not call a black person a liar even if he is lying. That is now racist. That is now racism.
Well, I am here today to formally announce for all to see and read that I reject this notion of what racism is. You see, I can tell a black man, just as I can tell a white man, that he is a liar if in fact he is one. Calling someone a liar is not based on skin color. Calling someone a liar is based upon whether or not that person tells the truth or not. I can partake in the right to peaceably assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances...whether that government happens to be headed by a black man or a white man. Petitioning the government for a redress of grievances has nothing to do with the skin color of the President and everything to do with the policies being enacted by that President.
So continue to call me a racist. Continue to call me part of a racist movement. The words racist and racism no longer have the meaning they once did. They no longer have any power or impact because they have been so misused by the left, that unfortunately they no longer have any meaning. I say unfortunately, because as I said earlier, there are still a bunch of morons out there who base their beliefs, actions and yes , even hatred on skin color. We need to come up for a new word for these imbeciles because racism is dead.

No matter how many times I write about Veteran's Day, I never feel like I have the words to convey my true appreciation for all the courageous men and women who have served this nation with honor, bravery and distinction. Our veterans have that special something that the rest of us can only dream about having. Their selflessness, commitment to country and family and their sacrifices are something those of us who have not served will never truly understand. We owe them all a debt that can never be repayed.
Conservative Republican, Bob McDonnell easily won Virginia's Governor race yesterday by an 18 point margin. Just last year, Barack Obama won the state of Virginia with a 6 point margin over John McCain. That is a 24 point swing towards the Republicans.
Former President Jimmy Carter, known anti-semite, had the nerve to call Rep. Joe Wilson a racist. Joe Wilson simply said, "You lie!" when President Obama was lying. Simple as that.
