OPINION:
Am I a racist if I don’t vote for Sen. Barack Obama?
Mr. Obama has said that some are practicing the politics of fear, stating he is a funny-looking guy who does not look like the guys on our American currency. Of course, Mr. Obama is simply playing the reverse-racism card.
I am a well-educated guy who closely follows economics and politics. My decisions are not ignorant or based on hatred.
I have pegged Mr. Obama as a socialist who will turn away from free-market capitalism and has limited real-life or senatorial experience to deal with the cruel, harsh world out there. In addition, his associates, allies and advisers have goals and ideas with which I simply can’t agree.
That does not make me a racist; it makes me a free thinker and someone who is looking out for what most likely is best for America.
Shame on anyone who pegs me as a racist simply because I don’t buy Mr. Obama’s agenda and can’t stomach his lack of experience.
