I predict that the first female president will be a Republican. I also predict that the first black president will be a Republican. (Please don't say that Barack Obama is black. He's half black. His mother is as white as mine.) Many progressives will go insane when these things occur, for it upsets their categories. They think all Republicans are sexist and racist. In fact, it's they who are sexist and racist. Look at how they treated Sarah Palin and Clarence Thomas. Palin wasn't attacked because she's a conservative; she was attacked because she's a female conservative. Thomas wasn't attacked because he's a conservative; he was attacked because he's a black conservative. Progressives believe that women and blacks are too stupid to think for themselves. How else to explain the viciousness of their attacks? A woman who thinks for herself is trying to be a man—or at least trying to ingratiate herself with men. A black person who thinks for himself or herself is trying to be white—or at least trying to ingratiate himself or herself with whites. (Thomas was called "Uncle Tom," "Oreo," and "Stepin Fetchit," among other vile things.) White men who think for themselves aren't trying to be anyone else and aren't trying to ingratiate themselves with anyone else. They are simply using their minds. Therein lies the sexism and racism.
