So said Eric Holder, who is somewhat ironically referred to by the mass media as “the first black attorney general.” He was talking about our reluctance to honestly discuss race issues.

We are indeed cowards for that and many other reasons–cowards for not having bucked the politically correct agenda forced down our throats for the past 30 years. Cowards for not speaking up against the censure of those who dared speak up in attempts to discuss race. Cowards for letting politicians run our lives. Cowards for electing politicians who brazenly express disdain for the very same people who voted for them. Cowards for helping chip away at freedoms in the name of personal greed and disdain for the way others live. Cowards for electing politicians who granted even more power to themselves and the corporations who controlled them.

Still, I don’t need to hear it from a hypocrite like Holder standing behind a bully pulpit. I think it’s a good harbinger of what to expect the next four years–browbeating easy targets who have been chastised into keeping their mouths shut. We’ve already heard Obama’s disdain for the average schmuck working-class American who clings to guns or religion. The attorney general echoes more of the same, no doubt smirking after he leaves his throne, knowing full well that most of us rednecks know better than to even mention race.

Next up, I fully expect the target to be the upper middle class as the handouts grow. A much larger number of Americans than before will owe nothing to the government, while a small percentage of us who are willingly struggling to achieve and attempt to improve our lot in life will pay the burden of the cost. We will be made to feel criminally guilty and will be painted as part of the problem, and our already higher percentage of money thieved will be deemed as not enough.

Obama’s administration will be as good at scapegoating people as was the Bush administration. Segments of us, the cowards, will become the axis of evil, no matter the battle. Mr Holder: You are a coward and a bully, but you’re welcome to come spout your bile face to face any time, to demonstrate otherwise.
