Give the liberals credit for their candidate, Senator Obama, winning the Democratic presidential nomination. If the outcome gave you a dj vu twitch, it's more than likely your parents read you Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale about the naked emperor.

It would be sour grapes not to state that Obama is ambitious, a sparkling orator, a savvy politician and one great fund raiser. And his win is a testament to the honesty of the media. They admit that Obama makes their legs tingle. He's their affirmative action baby.

This should thrill his avid supporter, Ted Kennedy. Maybe it is the reason this old socialist survived brain surgery. Had Obama selected a career in medicine, and was accepted and pushed through Harvard based on its diversity requirements, Kennedy might be dead if Obama's specialization was brain surgery.

This is not to defame, or underestimate, the talent of the attending proctologist. This is the surgeon who had to clear a path through the brown matter to uncover Senator Kennedy's gray matter. Obviously if this doctor was color blind Senator Kennedy would not have survived.

Neither are the liberals in the media, blacks, and upper class intellectuals color blind. On the contrary! They are well aware of color. Unlike the gun toting Americans who cling to religion, the liberals voted for Obama strictly because of his skin color.

Moderates or conservatives using this singular criterion would be called racists. But be careful. This double standard is not universally applied. Black moderates and conservatives are blasphemed as Uncle Tom's. So listening or voting for them is bad.

Still confused?

Then once again for clarity: In the liberal lexicon, voting for a person strictly because he/she is black is not racism, but not voting for a black candidate is racism, unless the candidate is not a socialist.

Yes, it's puzzling. Maybe a refresher course in political correctness will help. In any setting where politics are mentioned, remember that black candidates are superior to white candidates, and white female candidates are superior to white male candidates. And never, never voice a favorable opinion about a black or female candidate until you confirm their liberal credentials.

There are corollaries to this. Whites who attack the politics of black candidates are called racists. But whites who praise the opinions of black candidates are considered enlightened. And you must ignore blacks spewing racial bigotry, because according to the liberal handbook, blacks can't be racists.

If you are still confused, tune into NBC, CNN, MSNBC or CBS for a refresher course. Their evening news programs offer live lessons nightly.

The good news is that the liberals have not succeeded in eliminating the privacy of the voting booth. Granted, they tried to override this constitutional protection by supporting the labor union bosses' move to require their membership to vote publicly.

So there is one face saving alternative remaining for moderate and conservative voters. To protect your PC image tell the media pollsters anything that fits their definition of enlightenment, and then secretly vote for the candidate who is wearing clothes.
