Red, White and Saudi Privilege - John Ransom - Townhall Finance ...

What a country! as the Russian comedian Yakov Smirnoff would say.

Smirnoff came to the U.S. in the days when people from the old Eastern Block would risk life and limb to try to get here. Today the only limbs at risk when we allow political sanctuary are our own.

There was a lot more freedom in the U.S. then: Freedom from fear, freedom from foreclosure, freedom to work, freedom to run a marathon, freedom to love the country without being called a tea bagger; freedom for citizens to do their part with the government staying out of the way.

It?s changed now.

Now we root for the bad guys, - bad guys, who are a protected species- and support people who hate our own country.

A liberal writer from Salon, David Sirota, led off the hate parade last week with this sparkling prayer: Let?s hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a white American.

He should have added: ?please, dear God.?



Of course it would have offended his liberal readers when he invoked God. Let me remind them, however, that even Joseph Stalin, white guy and former seminarian, invoked the Almighty from time to time.

Sirota quotes professional race baiter and other white guy, Tim Wise, with this justification of his prayer: ??White privilege is knowing that if this bomber turns out to be white, the United States government will not bomb whatever corn field or mountain town or stale suburb from which said bomber came, just to ensure that others like him or her don?t get any ideas. And if he turns out to be a member of the Irish Republican Army we won?t bomb Dublin.?

Yeah those greedy, white Catholics in Dublin were so privileged that they were never targeted by other white guys- were they? No bombs in Dublin, right?

Nor was David Koresh, white guy, assaulted by a tank down in Waco, Texas for his crimes. Tim McVeigh? The lethal injection was too good for him.?? ?????

But alas, we all have to live with disappointment, David, Tim and I do.
