American Bigotry

And I ask Mr. McCain. So Arabs are not decent people?!? Now we know who's sowing these seeds of racial hatred around town. Isn't that what the 'concept of America' (Pax Americana) is fundamentally against?

Just because the candidate's an Arab then he shouldn't be voted for? And that he's dangerous? What kind of shitty racism is that? Even if Obama is a Muslim or an Arab and not a decent CHRISTIAN (I'm looking at you, McCain), that is an entirely fallacious thing to say. Not all Muslims in the world wants to kill you, you stupid American. Ever heard of the mother in the Arlington National Cemetery weeping over the loss of her 20 year old son in the Iraq. "His tombstone didn't have a cross or the star of David. It had a cresent and a star symbolic of the Islamic faith". This soldier was 14 years old when 9/11 occurred and he waited until he was old enough to serve "his" country.

Edit: Here is the newest NYT article linking to the Muslim-American soldier, Kareem Khan.

It's times like this when I fret over what the free-world's most impeccable representative has become. Or perhaps it is like that since it's advent. Has America always been so characterized by ignorance, narrow-mindedness and to an alarming extent, stupidity? Especially in today's increasingly globalized world where bigotry should be tossed out of the window and inter-racial harmony embraced to allow for progress, this is clearly not the way to go. It's unhealthy for America, as a world superpower, and for the world/humanity as well. At this rate, I seriously worry about the fate of USA in the near future. Puhlease, take your long overdue bigotry somewhere else and snort it out of yourself. There's no place for "I" or "ME!" in this world right now and that makes it even more crucial to appoint a leader who is cosmopolitan, empathetic and demonstrates understanding towards the wide variety of cultures around the world in order to ensure success. That is why Barack Obama is the better choice to go with this coming Nov.

So please, the world is watching, America. Show everyone, as the assumed leader of the free-world how things should be done. One false step and the game that has gone on for centuries could be broken/lost. It could be the beginning of the end, or the beginning of a new beginning. So please, choose wisely. Don't let stupid wool (ie. ego) mull your vision for your country. It's time to show everyone exactly how grown up you are.

Ok, I know I just totally 'endorsed' Barack Obama as the next President of USA. Which is surprising for some because I used to be an avid Hillary Clinton supporter. When she wasn't selected as the Democratic nominee, I shifted my attention away from the elections, partially because it's not really interesting anymore. But Sarah Palin spiced it up again with her appalling lack of general knowledge and the race kicked into high gear. Then McCain the MAVERICK basically disappointed me, and a lot of people, with his selection of VP and his acidic, vicious spew of negative, untrue 'facts' about Barack Obama. At the same time, Obama totally stole the show in Berlin and the Convention. It also doesn't hurt that McCain's policies eerily echoes that of George Bush's. So in all, the race is Obama's to lose. Because McCain is in the midst of committing election suicide. The only problem is whether the bulk of America realize it or not. Sometimes I feel like chortling them.


Still, even if the odds are extremely favorable for Obama, the Bradley effect could kick in at full scale and he can easily lose the election. If that's what America decides to do, then everything she preached about incessantly -- equality, nil racial discrimination, freedom, liberty -- to the world would be total bullshit because her people won't even take the best chance to practice what they preach.
