Well, if we are going to get personal, I live in a working class, integrated neighborhood and have no issues with anyone of a different race. I do have issues with the needless stimulus programs and other such demonstrations of the failed economic philosophy of Keynesian Economic theory. Second, the cross burning thing raises my ire as while it may never have happened to you, it has happened to members of my family back in the 70's. Oh, and they didn't just burn a cross: They set fire to the garage as well. My family is well connected in the local Republican party, and is also involved in a homeless ministry and advocacy. BTW, I am also poor, uninsured, and struggling just to keep the lights on right now. The roof is collapsing on the back of my house and I have no money to fix it. I won my home, but my lack of provable income means I can't refinance it to a more reasonable rate or take out money to fix the roof.
I disagree with Obama on ideological grounds, and not on something he can do nothing about such as the color of his skin. Hating a man based on that is illogical, and has no place in the year 2009. Move on from that one already and realize that people can have valid disagreements with someone of a different race that does not involve that person's race. I would also ask where you were when Alan Keyes ran for President in 1996. I happened to have supported him and voted for him.
Ideologically, I disagree with Obama on issues pertaining to both social and economic policies. His hard core support of Abortion is something I find morally wrong. After all, the largest abortion provider in the country, Planned Parenthood, was founded by the racial eugenicist Margaret Sanger, who wished to use family planing to limit the number of blacks and other people she considered to be undesirable who were allowed to have children. She even wrote a book on her views on racial purity in the 1940's. If you would like, I can get you exact quotes and the title of it. Eugenics was also used to justify the forced sterilization of hundreds of thousands of Americans from the 1920's until 1973. It was also later used to justify the "Final Solution" in Nazi Germany.
As for economics, it has long been proven that planned economies do not work. I will wrote more later, but I have to do my research first. Plus, I gotta go mow the rest of my lawn before it gets dark as my neighbors are complaining.
