Note From A White Devil
September 19th, 2009 by Bill ColleyWhite Devil Bill Colley checking in this lovely Saturday morning on the Lower Shore and reading the latest arguments as to why I’m a racist. A fellow at the New York Times writes today it’s as obvious as the lily-white nose on my face. Bob Herbert is a successful and now wealthy columnist at the nation’s premier left-leaning newspaper. “For many white Americans, Barack Obama is nothing more than that black guy in the White House, and they want him out of there”, Herbert writes today, which appears odd as a large number of white devils put Obama in the building.
For the record, I don’t want Obama in the White House. For the same reasons I didn’t want Hillary Clinton or Howard Dean there. You may not know this, but under the scales, Clinton and Dean both look pink. Caucasian if you will. When I look at Obama all I see is a school superintendent, which is where I think his abilities would best serve the public. Every time he scolds from behind a podium I’m reminded of some uncomfortable moments in the auditorium at old Cuba High.
Can I also bring something else forward for the record? I do realize Mr. Obama has a bit more pigment under his skin than most people in my social circle. Not everyone but most of my friends are somewhat pale. A great many of them are also political junkies. Most of them are conservatives and the inebriates are libertarians. These friends know the names Ward Connerly and Alan Keyes. Connerly and Keyes are conservatives and men of color. If I told Mr. Herbert I admired those men you can bet the farm he would swat me away with an allegation the two examples are sell-outs and tools of the “man”. Herbert would be a bit more eloquent but the response is clear. Herbert and all those like him have rigged the game. They won’t separate left-leaning politics from race. It allows them to maintain righteousness and to continue playing the aggrieved. Why is Herbert aggrieved, you may ask? He’s atop his profession and millions of people read his work. It’s because he knows every white person passing him on the street is looking down at him. He’s written about it in past columns. He perceives a slight. It’s a self-concept issue. Herbert doesn’t know if he got to the top because he’s very good (and he can write some great stuff) or because Mr. Sulzberger made it happen to raise the percentage of people of color in high profile positions at the paper.
Connerly and Keyes have argued the same for many years. This is why Herbert doesn’t invite them to drop-in for cocktails.
Now, another question, you saw it coming, didn’t you? A majority of Americans knew the day would come when the President would be in a political dogfight and the race card would come out of the political bag of tricks. What surprises me is how quickly the card was played. Just three quarters into the first year of his first term. May I suggest the most frightening explanation? Mr. Obama and his supporters are bereft of ideas. That bag was always empty. It’s why the liberals haven’t been trusted for decades. The color of a fellow’s skin is irrelevant. Millions of people out of work and tens of millions watching China eat our lunch, our children’s dinner and the table scraps of our grandchildren are looking for anyone who can turn things around. Mr. Obama doesn’t have the goods.

White “N” loving yomomma checking in. Who are you kidding? You didn’t want Hillery or Howard Dean. You didn’t want anybody with a D next to their name. You disliked McCaine because he was not Conservative enough for you. Who did you want? Guess what? Whom ever it was did not make the ticket, and did not for a good reason. The majority spoke, you lost! I voted for Housaine but liked Mccaine untill he put that fruitcake on the ticket. Anyone that believed she could run the country if something happened to John REALLY needs a labodomy.
Wake up Billy! Their are two parties in this country. Republicans are too smart to accept the conservative right wingers into their fold. The party is in shambles and is floating in a sea of confusion with no leadership. The party must reject the birthers, the death panel idiots, and the Limpbaugh ditto heads whose only mission in life is to overthrow the government.
Ditto heads are no different then the “stepford wives” or the Jim Jones people’s temple. The real destruction will not be from Obama, but will be from the kook right conservatives, Limpbaugh and Beck, who are driving the wedge further into our people who love this country dearly.
Our country has changed ever since the start. Criticism of how bad change was going to be was recorded from the earliest of times. We survived.
Take in a deep breath Bill, relax and sit back as that black guy in the White house destroys your America. I’ll just sip my Pinot, watch my stocks go up, watch my heathcare premiums go up, “private insurance” and observe the world come to an end. Ain’t life grand!

Bob Herbst’s problem: CONTROL. He believes getting someone in offce gives you control over them - DUHHHH!! DOOFUS. Obama is not your puppet on a string or Dog on a leash to control - Herbst. Lack of control makes him less of a man, more of a invalvid or baby. Should someone go to New york times stripped Bob Herbst’s of his dignity - power & diaper his buttocks?

What have we learned? jesUS would have never wanted health care for people. From historical record, we clearly note it’s not god’s way. god is white and god follows the money.
For further consideration, the planet, like solid entities we acknowledge, is owned, and no change of media face changes that fact. There are projects like Qidong, and Novo Selo, but that aint displayed in radio blogs.

No place in the Constitution of the United States of America does it say government is your mommy and your daddy. You either accept you’re on your own or you give your life to government, which swaddles you in diapers until you die. Yeah, that’s the way to live.

corporation or capitolism is never mentioned in the constitution. the vast majority of tea baggers don’t realize the original tea party was a protest against corporations having an unfair tax advantage.

I had a quote sent me by a friend living free of government and credit. “Get out of my wallet, out of my bedroom, out of my schools and out of my way…
As long as the citizen demands service from the government, at any level, the enslavement will increase. Is this nuclear physics or simple common sense?”, he writes. Just a couple of weeks ago I also had an old college friend visit from New Mexico. He has a farm atop a mesa and lives an anonymous life and hasn’t borrowed any money or asked for any government help in the 25 years since he graduated college. When the system collapses under its own weight he’ll just shrug his shoulders and keep living free.

Good to see others resisting the tea-bagger. He benefited from tax dollars his whole life…Dad in the military, then received VA benefits…Dad was a state worker and worked at our High School…gasp! It was okay for him, not for everyone else. Guys…I have to tell you, his warped, siege mentality comes from insecurities developed earlier in life. He was not well-adjusted back in high school…no wonder he blames the world for his own failures (dead-end job, overweight, no retirement…eroding health). It’s all so predictable…

I read your post regarding the visit from your New Mexico friend and that combined with your above comment, Bill C, leads me to a certain respect for him and his ilk. You see, strikes me that “living anonymously” and the quote he borrowed in your first paragraph, not asking anything of anyone apparently, he minds his business and his life without telling another soul how to mind and live theirs. Having lived thusly for twenty-five years he’s obviously done so through administrations of either ‘colour’ and agreed with none. I’d say that might be the difference between you and your friend. Perhaps a true Libertarian…and wearing sandals, drinking cabernet and valuing not only his life and beliefs but everyone else’s.

Thirty five million to 50 million dead babies and a whole generation is unavailable for paying the taxes to support the welfare state. As for my father serving his country and later protecting the people of NY, well, you ingrates should be happy he was there. Instead your normal reaction is to spit on these people. I make no apologies for what my dad did for a living. Honorably. He was asked to serve and he did. Most won’t. Imagine, one little radio show on Delmarva and an insignificant like colleywatch can’t sleep at night. I could get rich investing in companies making sleeping pills.

I like to see El-mono vs El-mono fight between Bill Colley VS. Colleywatch. I’m curious which one has the biggest, lets leave this to your imagination & fill in the blank.
