Is Barack Obama Just Another Jimmy Carter?

__________________________

"There are two types of folks living today.
One that remembers the Carter era and
the other is about to learn about it.
God, please help us all."
Dr. Anne Wortham
__________________________

This is the truth and honesty and profound wisdom of a true patriot of this country, Anne Wortham. She speaks out, not counting the cost and demanding to be heard; insisting on saying what is on her mind. This is pretty rich stuff.

Anne Wortham is a scholar and a very effective writer. I was impressed with her success in her unswerving determination to warn the nation she loves about President Barack Obama's future plans for the United States of America. It makes me more determined to be a light in the days of social upheaval. The article written below by Anne Wortham is very important reading. I wish all Americans would read it.

With the transformation of the nation I love into a land of limits where what we can say, what we can do, what we can believe, what doctor we can see and how long we can live will be taken out of our hands and placed into the hands of CLASSIFIED. Celebrate an American who is willing to tell the truth about what Barack Obama intends to do with the nation he has now broken with a tide of red ink that is far beyond overflowing and which can never be wiped away. The nation that was once the bastion of faith, hope and liberty is now debating over gay marriage, government control of our lives and our deaths, and trying to tell us how to heat our homes. Welcome to the Second Republic.

ANNE WORTHAM – American Educator

Anne Wortham is Associate Professor of Sociology at Illinois State University and continuing Visiting Scholar at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution. She is a member of the American Sociological Association and the American Philosophical Association.


She has been a John M. Olin Foundation Faculty Fellow, and honored as a Distinguished Alumni of the Year by the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education.
In fall 1988 she was one of a select group of intellectuals who were featured in Bill Moyer’s television series, "A World of Ideas." The transcript of her conversation with Moyers has been published in his book, “A World of Ideas”.



Dr. Wortham is author of "The Other Side of Racism: A Philosophical Study of Black Race Consciousness" which analyzes how race consciousness is transformed into political strategies and policy issues. She has published numerous articles on the implications of individual rights for civil rights policy, and is currently writing a book on theories of social and cultural marginality.


Recently, she has published articles on the significance of multiculturalism and Afrocentricism in education, the politics of victimization and the social and political impact of political correctness. Shortly after an interview in 2004, she was awarded tenure. This short article by her is something to absorb.



Fellow Americans,

Please know: I am Black; I grew up in the segregated South. I did not vote for Barack Obama; I wrote in Ron Paul's name as my choice for president. Most importantly, I am not race conscious. I do not require a Black president to know that I am a person of worth, and that life is worth living. I do not require a Black president to love the ideal of America.


I cannot join you in your celebration. I feel no elation. There is no smile on my face. I am not jumping with joy. There are no tears of triumph in my eyes. For such emotions and behavior to come from me, I would have to deny all that I know about the requirements of human flourishing and survival - all that I know about the history of the United States of America , all that I know about American race relations, and all that I know about Barack Obama as a politician. I would have to deny the nature of the "change” that Obama asserts has come to America.



Most importantly, I would have to abnegate my certain understanding that you have chosen to sprint down the road to serfdom that we have been on for over a century. I would have to pretend that individual liberty has no value for the success of a human life. I would have to evade your rejection of the slender reed of capitalism on which your success and mine depend. I would have to think it somehow rational that 94 percent of the 12 million Blacks in this country voted for a man because he looks like them (that Blacks are permitted to play the race card), and that they were joined by self-declared "progressive" whites who voted for him because he doesn't look like them.

I would have to wipe my mind clean of all that I know about the kind of people who have advised and taught Barack Obama and will fill posts in his administration - political intellectuals like my former colleagues at the Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government.
















I would have to believe that "fairness" is equivalent of justice. I would have to believe that man who asks me to "go forward in a new spirit of service, in a new service of sacrifice" is speaking in my interest. I would have to accept the premise of a man that economic prosperity comes from the "bottom up," and who arrogantly believes that he can will it into existence by the use of government force. I would have to admire a man who thinks the standard of living of the masses can be improved by destroying the most productive and the generators of wealth.


Finally, Americans, I would have to erase from my consciousness the scene of 125,000 screaming, crying, cheering people in Grant Park, Chicago irrationally chanting "Yes We Can!" Finally, I would have to wipe all memory of all the times I have heard politicians, pundits, journalists, editorialists, bloggers and intellectuals declare that capitalism is dead - and no one, including especially Alan Greenspan, objected to their assumption that the particular version of the anti-capitalistic mentality that they want to replace with their own version of anti-capitalism is anything remotely equivalent to capitalism.

So you have made history, Americans. You and your children have elected a Black man to the office of the president of the United States, the wounded giant of the world. The battle between John Wayne and Jane Fonda is over - and that Fonda won. Eugene McCarthy and George McGovern must be very happy men. Jimmie Carter, too. And the Kennedys have at last gotten their Kennedy look-a-like. The self-righteous welfare statists in the suburbs can feel warm moments of satisfaction for having elected a Black person.

So, toast yourselves: 60s countercultural radicals, 80s yuppies and 90s bourgeois bohemians. Toast yourselves, Black America. Shout your glee Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Duke, Stanford, and Berkeley. You have elected not an individual who is qualified to be president, but a Black man who, like the pragmatist Franklin Roosevelt, promises to - Do Something! You now have someone who has picked up the baton of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society. But you have also foolishly traded your freedom and mine - what little there is left - for the chance to feel good. There is nothing in me that can share your happy obliviousness.


There are two types of folks living today. One that remembers the Carter era and the other is about to learn about it. God, please help us all.

Book Promo 201 Reviewed

Author Steven Clark Bradley

Recently, I had the pleasure of reading Nikki Leigh's new book on how to become successful in book promotion titled Book Promo 201. Today, there are perhaps more books marketed and sold on the Internet than in physical book stores. With the change in the publishing and book marketing industries, I can say, without a doubt, that Book Promo 201 is an indispensable and vital reading material for serious writers.


Just because you may have already read her first book, by almost the same title, Book Promo 101, I can tell you that you must buy this new book as well. It is full of extremely practical material that will make a fledgling writer into active, motivated and well-known author, if Nikki Leigh's systematic approach to internet marketing is followed and applied to social marketing, publishing and linking to other writers and to readers.


I have worked closely with Nikki Leigh and she is responsible for what I consider to be a highly successful change in my marketing approach of my four novels, across the net and blog-o-sphere. I had to chuckle as I read her new very valuable book, Book Promo 201. There is enough knowledge in Nikki's head to fill several volumes, into the future. Yet, with Book Promo 101 and now with 201, we can take Nikki with us wherever we go and use her knowledge as a veritable bible of internet book marketing secrets, in which Nikki Leigh has gone out of her way to share so many of her proven secrets to selling books. Nikki has proven her ability of getting the writers who work with her a level of exposure all over the net that many of us never thought we could achieve. That speaks for itself.


I found Nikki Leigh's new book to be very practical, very user friendly and extremely well organized. Her ideas shine through the pages and made me understand that this monster called book marketing does not need to be so frightening nor seem so impossible. If you are like me, I first found that writing a book and even getting it published was an easy task when compared to getting the word out about this fantastic new novel, I had written. Then, I met Nikki and she opened up a new world, on the net, and I have been working at it and seeing my sales and my readership constantly grow.


Book Promo 201 can accomplish the same thing for a writer who takes her ideas and proven formulas and applies them to their individual needs. She demonstrates things like the unique benefits of using the Internet to promote an author's work. She clearly shows the benefits and the financial rewards to marketing, on the net. She is also skilled, in this book, in showing more shy writers how to promote themselves across a very wide and almost completely free manner of gaining exposure to the millions of readers who live in cyberspace. It has made all the difference in my writing career.


Book Promo 201 details and demonstrates useful ways of implementing such sensible and important tools as targeting your audience, branding yourself and your material, finding and effectively using social bookmarking sites, using blogs to promote your books and the importance of blog tours and using Internet radio. These are but a few of the very interesting and highly useful points that make Book Promo 201 a book that every serious writer must read and use to develop a serious marketing campaign that can propel a writer's career from frustrating and lonely to very exciting and thriving.


If you want to write books that people actually read and to develop a career in writing that can actually become solid and real, then you have to get this book and use it to become a writer who is well known and appreciated. You did again Nikki, but I knew you would!
