TRF for 11/4/08:The End of Conservative Policies in America Is More Important For Me, Than Voting For The First Black President

From google.com, via Dailykos.com

What I wrote over at The Reel Feel today (and yup, that site still exists):

Here in Boston, either from fellow students or people in this town, I have sadly been subjected to the terrible feeling of being stereotyped, neglected, underestimated, and indirectly disrespected because of my race despite being a student at a renowned institution. And it hasn't come just from white students or white residents here in Boston, or in New York. I’ve felt that coolness from a variety of different races, from Asian (Southeast Asian, Indian included) to Hispanic to even, well, my own race (if that is even possible). Feeling a little sullen by this, it fuels my passion even more, without even going into full detail of his policies, into the rapture I have for these people to turn around and vote for a black man despite the fact of their egregious treatment of another black man because of my color.

It continues.....

This is why the most important thing in this election, for me, is not the fact that America is voting for a black President. Amazingly enough, that tremendous revelation of the United States voting a black man for the highest office in the land, something that was inconceivable even up to NOW for some, has been trumped by the paradigm element of this campaign, and it is quite simple to look at:

How conservative policies have failed America.

And.....

I'm not even going to get into the voter suppression tactics of 2000, 2004, and 2008, the Reaganomics of the 80's, and the vitriol spewed by right wing strategists and think tanks to show further the pitfalls of conservatism in America.

Outside of those in the left community, who know what I say here is truth, and in the next few words, it goes beyond what the Cheney Administration has done. It goes beyond the horror of a campaign ran by McCain and Palin, a semi-autocratic like governor whose reputation, no matter how hard her and her supporters try, is devastated by her abuse of power.

It even goes beyond “King Ronald, “Shining on the hill and loved by Peggy Noonan” Reagan.”

Again, you can enjoy the column over there, or at even the Daily Kos a little later today (te link will be provided).
