The Ugly Truth Behind Pro-War Votes

They’re based largely in racist beliefs, of course.  You’ve all probably heard it come out of older (and perhaps even younger) generations mouths, perhaps during a conversation after a holiday meal, or something of the sort:  ’We should just nuke the whole damned Middle East and be done with ‘em.’  Well, while such likely racist arguments are not likely to affect the day-to-day lives of whoever utters them, their impact on public policy is felt around the world.  So much more value is placed by Americans on pure, wholesome, white American bodies by our culture and voters that it has become institutionalized in our foreign reparation policies.  When innocent Iraqis are killed by American soldiers, their families are remunerated $602.27 whereas when innocent Americans are killed by soldiers, their white, American families are remunerated $2.8 MILLION.  That means that in the estimation of the government (our seriously disturbed culture), a single American life is worth the lives of 4649.078 brown people.  Perhaps that’s why we’re so dramatically overstaying our welcome in five wars around the world:  we haven’t yet killed the 13,947,000+ Muslims that would apparently equal the American death toll on 9/11, thereby balancing the scales of Justice.  How many disgusting policies will the Obama administration have to perpetuate, devise, adopt, and enact before liberals of good conscience abandon him to his fate as one of the very worst human beings to be president–a tough field of competition, mind you–and one of the worst presidents, to boot.  There are clear racial elements to our foreign policy and it should be explicitly recognized as such.  Today, being pro-Obama on foreign affairs is tantamount to being pro-Robert Byrd in the 1950s (i.e. you’re a vicious racist).
