I did write, during the campaign, if Obama got elected he would be "a dead man walking."  I didn't write that as a bit of hyperbole or as a metaphor.  I meant it as an accurate assessment of the US socio-political and cultural environment.

Racism is deeply embedded in the US and among certain segments of the US population it's a given.

Yes, you did write it as a bit of hyperbole. Here's how you exaggerate the importance of Mr Obama's race in the minds of the great number of psychopaths running around the US: You can't apparently imagine how the other 35 million black people are targets, too, for retribution and a lot easier any day to kill, metaphorically and literally, than Mr Obama ever was or will be.

You guys try working that fact into your tea bagger fantasies.

Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.

The American example, for hundreds of years, is that we kill those who don't agree to our plans. Iran is only the latest example.

Tea Partiers often quote Jefferson that the tree of liberty grows on the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Align culture with our nature.
