This guy is a little over the top, but it is an interesting point.

Look at my fellow conservatives! There they go, glumly shuffling along, depressed by the election aftermath. Not me. I'm virtually euphoric. Don't get me wrong. I'm not thrilled with America 's flirtation with neo socialism. But there's a massive silver lining in those magical clouds that lofted Barak Obama to the Presidency. For today, without a shred of intellectually legitimate opposition, I can loudly proclaim to America : The Era of White Guilt is over.
This seemingly impossible event occurred because the vast majority of white Americans didn't give a fluff about skin color, and enthusiastically pulled the voting lever for a black man. Not just any black man. A very liberal black man who spent his early career race-hustling banks, praying in a racist church for 20 years, and actively worked with America-hating domestic terrorists. Wow! Some resume! Yet they made Barak Obama their leader. Therefore, as of Nov 4th, 2008, white guilt is dead.
For over a century, the millstone of white guilt hung around our necks, retribution for slave-owning predecessors. In the 60's, American liberals began yanking that millstone while sticking a fork in the eye of black Americans, exacerbating the racial divide to extort a socialist solution. But if a black man can become President, exactly what significant barrier is left? The election of Barak Obama absolutely destroys the entire validation of liberal white guilt. The dragon is hereby slain.
So today, I'm feeling a little "uppity," if you will. From this day forward, my tolerance level for having my skin color hustled is now exactly ZERO. And it's time to clean house. No more Reverend Wright's "God **** America ," Al Sharpton's Church of Perpetual Victimization , or Jesse Jackson's rainbow racism. Cornell West? You're a fraud. Go home. All those "black studies" programs that taught kids to hate whitey? You must now thank Whitey. And I want that on the final.
Congressional Black Caucus? Irrelevant. Maxine Waters? Shut up.. ACORN? Outlawed. Black Panthers? Go home and pet your kitty. Black separatists? Find another nation that offers better dreams. Go ahead. I'm waiting.
Gangsta rappers? Start praising America . Begin with the Pledge of Allegiance.=2 0And please…no more ebonics. Speak English, and who knows where you might end up? Oh, yeah…pull up your pants. Your underwear is showing. You look stupid.
To those Eurosnots who forged entire careers hating America ? I'm still waiting for the first black French President.
And let me offer an equal opportunity whupping. I've always despised lazy white people. Now, I can talk smack about lazy=2 0black people. You're poor because you quit school, did drugs, had three kids with three different fathers, and refuse to work. So when you plop your Colt 45-swilling, Oprah watchin' butt on the couch and complain "Da Man is keepin' me down," allow me to inform you: Da Man is now black. You have no excuses.
No more quotas. No more handouts. No more stealing my money because someone's great-great-great-great grandparents suffered actual pain and misery at the hands of people I have no relation to, and personally revile.
It's time to toss that massive, obsolete race-hustle machine upon the heap of the other stupid 60's ideas. Drag it over there, by wife swapping, next to dope-smoking. Plenty of room right between free love and cop-killing. Careful…don't trip on streaking.. There ya go, don't be gentle. Just dump it. Wash your hands. It's filthy.
In fact, Obama's ascension created a gargantuan irony. How can you sell class envy and American unfairness when you and your black wife went to Ivy League schools, got high-paying jobs, became millionaires, bought a mansion, and got elected President? How unfair is that??? Now, Like a delicious O'Henry tale, Obama's spread-the-wealth campaign rendered itself moot by it's own victory! America is officially a meritocracy. Obama's election has validated American conservatism!
So, listen carefully…Wham!!!
That's the sound of my foot kicking the door shut on the era of white guilt. The rites have been muttered, the carcass lowered, dirt shoveled, and tombstone erected. White guilt is dead and buried.
However, despite my glee, there's apparently one small, rabid bastion of American racism remaining. Black Americans voted 96% for Barak Obama. Hmmm. In a color-blind world, shouldn't that be 50-50? Tonight, every black person should ask forgiveness for their apparent racism and prejudice towards white people. Maybe it's time to start spreading the guilt around.

According to The Daily Show, "black liberal guilt" is now in style.

But, like Bush, Paulson, and McCain said, "now is not the time for socialism - NOW is! So we nationalized AIG, the banking industry, and maybe Detroit before GWB leaves office. Because we had to flirt with socialism.

While I am admittedly very liberal ( definition: favorable to or respectful of individual rights and freedoms) I find it truly offensive when someone refers to liberals as those who would ruin the country by their radical views. It is these radical views that keep us going forward. It keeps us looking for new ways to treat disease, and new ways to alleviate
our energy issues. It makes us deal with the global issue of survival of the planet instead of turning a blind eye and pretending it isn't our fault. I am proud to be a liberal and hope that Obama can fix these issues because this is what he is passionate about. It has nothing to do with the color of his skin or who he hung out with in his younger years. (all those things made him what he is today) I associated with some seedy characters when I was younger, but I learned from them what I did not want to be in the future,
and whose to say this isn't how Barrack decided to go to law school, become a community organizer and eventually become the president elect. What better way to fix the issues than getting involved in the problem. By associating with people with radical ideas, you come to understand why they think the way they do. Only then can you address their views intellectually. I applaud him for his ability to walk with the sinners, hopefully he will earn their respect and encourage them to a better way. I am tired of narrow mindedness, I am tired of those who cannot respect a different point of view. These are the reasons that I voted for Obama. They are the reasons that the conservatives don't like him, they would rather the country just stagnate. For 8 years we have been held back (stem cell research, drill baby drill, which solves nothing and continues to destroy our ecological future) while we should be the leaders in new ideas because we are the greatest country on this planet. Without the radical views of our fore fathers we would not have airplanes, cars, the internet, antibiotics and the list goes on forever.

You have clearly confused new ideas and liberalism. Socialism amd communism are hardly new ideas, they are old ideas that have had their time and failed, and please, dont try and tell me that a large portion of the "liberals" support socialism. Conservatism and more importantly Capitalism have done more to propel new ideas into taking shape than anything liberals have ever done.
