A few months ago, January to be exact, I said I would not write another word about politics’. I was elated that Barack Obama was starting his first term as the first black president and that Democrats had the majority in Congress. This was historical. Finally we will see some light.
Boy was I wrong!
The Democratic Congress turned out to be the do nothing congress and they have let the Republicans walk all over them. For some reason, in my naivetĂ©, I thought we had heard the last of the BS, but we haven’t. Almost every night, there’s Dick Cheney or Karl Rove on TV spouting their rhetoric. Now that Cheney doesn’t have to worry about an upcoming election, he seems to have embraced to his daughter Mary’s lesbianism, and his daughter Liz is on TV almost every night.
Why is Liz on TV, well besides the Torture Thing (we really do not want to get in to that) there's the Birth Certificate thing.
Oh, you mean that’s still going on?
Of course it is. Certain broadcasters and politicians better known as Birthers (I rather they be called Idiots, but that’s just me) are all over the media demanding proof that our President was born in the USA. They contend that he wasn’t and until they see proof of his birth, they will be relentless in their search for the truth. Well proof was provided and yet it was not accepted.
What do you think?
Could it be racism that is really behind this is barrage?
No not in our country! Right! (Sarcasm)
A bunch of white, right wing Christian Republicans can’t stand the fact that we now have a black president in office. Not only is he black, but, he is educated, speaks with intelligence and he has brought honesty and dignity back to the White House. Something the Bush administration was supposed to do. Instead they brought us lies, deception, scandals and shame while they led our Arm Forces into harm’s way. Thousands died while they made their profits and Raked the American People Over the Coals.
This past week out President has been called an angry black racist. Why? Because of a stupid incident that could have been avoided if both parties and Obama would have thought before they spoke Unfortunately it gave the A-holes a perfect opportunity to take advantage of the situation and throw more fuel into the flames.
Why would they do that?
It stands to reason that if they say it more and more, it will take angst off of them and we can re-focus on the President. And you know that the American people are so gullible that if you say something enough times, you make it true. Not only is our President illegally in office, but also he is a angry racist.
How far does this have to go before someone says Stop!
Obama is a very cool guy, he doesn’t address this stupidity, but we as a whole should. How do we address it? Start emailing, calling, write to every congressman, senator, news station and media outlet. Tell them that if they don’t put a stop to this nonsense. We will!
How?
The vote and money speak!
1. Vote the politicians out
2. Turn off the news stations
3. Stop buying the products they advertise.
4. Flood the Internet with youtube visual statements denouncing these politicians and media groups.
5. Create our own media, by ignoring the media that is already out there and refuses to stop talking about this.
6.Blog, Blog, Blog!
There are better things to be concerned about in this country than the garbage they spew and concoct. like the five Christian politicians who belong to a secret society of five. A bible group that is wracked in scandal. One must wonder what they study in this group or do they compare notes to see whom they slept with that week besides their wives.
What America is this?
What happened to the good old days?
Did they ever really exist or has it always been this way and we didn’t know it? Now that we do know and the rest of the world knows too, are we better off for it?
Do we have to know every little thing?
When John Kennedy was having his little affairs at the White House, did we know? No! Were we, and the rest of the world better off for it? Yes !
Do you think that he would have been taken seriously by the Russians if they thought of him an as sex maniac. Would we, as a nation trusted him less?
Bill Clinton who was in my estimation a great president, but because of his stupid indiscretions and media frenzy, is still laughed at and hated by many. Yet that same many who hate him, neglect to see the same stupid ness and indiscretions in their own party. No wonder we are laughed at by the rest of the world. We have become a Jerry Springer Society where gossip, scandal and celebrity are a steady diet fed to us by idiots.
What America is this, that I, a virtually non- existent entity in this enormous spectrum of political madness, am compelled to write this and speak out? And why aren’t we as a nation horrified at what the Russ Limbaugh’s are spewing on the pubic?
What America is this that has taken one of our own precious rights, free speech, and turned it against us?
What America is this?
What America is this?
