It is not amazing.
It is not a great mystery.
It is absolutely nothing new.
It is simply a group of people who are terrified at the fact that people who were once viewed as and treated as sub human beings are now rising to positions in power, thus jeopardizing their privileges as white supremacist.
As a matter of fact, it is just the same old rotten meat, being rapped up in a different kind of paper, and sold by the racists in the Republican Party, who I watched hypocritically questioning the impartiality of Judge Sonia Sotomayor
These ignorant racist in suits, who have been privileged since this country first began, because of the fact that they have been playing the game of life with a deck of cards that have been stacked in their favor, are now questioning the impartiality of Judge Sotomayor, because of some, “biased”, let’s just stop dancing around the word, and just say it, “racist” statements that she had supposedly made in the past.
What she said is based on her personal observations and experiences, just like the statements and actions and rulings that have been made by the many white man who came before her.
And after a track record of unevenness, unfairness, and just plain racial, class, and sexual discrimination, these same old white man who have used their personal points of views, opinions, and prejudices to make decisions that made certain segments of society 2nd. & 3rd. class citizens in a country where everyone is supposed to have the benefit of equality on their side, are now crying foul because of statements and rulings that were made by Judge Sotomayor.
Isn’t it funny how the very same men who would deny so many men, woman, and children who are not like them the opportunity to be free and equal, are now pointing a racist finger at a woman who has been proven to be a moderate, and who has made decisions that have been consistent with those made by the mainstream judicial system in spite of her personal views.
It is important for all fair-minded people in America to know that these accusations are not based on facts, but are based on the same standards of “as long as it benefits me and people like me, then anything goes”. However, if it does not benefit me, or those who are like me, then nothing goes”.
The questioning process is not at issue here; they are absolutely necessary for Sotomayor’s Confirmation Hearing.
This is a part of the process.
However, to the many of the Racist In Suits that make up the Republican Party, (and some in the Democratic Party as well), this is simply an attempt to continue to keep people of color out of positions of power, because of the fears that they (as old corrupt white man) have developed after years of hatred, institutionalized racism, and their many acts of injustices, both public and private that they have imposed upon people who they consider to be lesser human beings than themselves.
If personal opinions did not matter on the Supreme Court, then there would not be a need to have 9 judges on the bench.
They could save the taxpayers in this country a lot of money by just letting one judge make all of the decisions.
Why do they have 9 different judges?
It’s because every judge on the Supreme Court Bench has a different opinion, a different point of view, and a different method of deliberation.
And where do these differences come from?
They come from the fact that the judges of the Supreme Court are human, and their decisions are based on their backgrounds, their upbringings, their opinions, their fears, their prejudices, and everything else that is positive or negative about them as a result of being human.
Nine judges are required to balance all of those variables so that a legal decision can accurately be made based on the law as determined by consensus.
So to hear someone like Senator Jeff Sessions, who is known to have and acted upon his tendencies towards racism drilling Judge Sotomayor, and questioning her ability to make sound legal decision that are not based on personal opinions, prejudices or biases for one group over another is ludicrous.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Sessions
Sessions and many of the other racists in suits who mirror him in the Republican Party, are not interested in truth or justice, they are just interested in maintaining the status quo that has benefited them for so long. And by accusing this woman of being what they are, which is racists, they hope to undermine the nomination of another person of color, because this is what they have done for so long, this is what they are doing now, and this is what they will continue to do, as long as we continue to allow them to.
I know that many of these racists do not want to admit it but, the times have changed, and the tides have changed.
And after over two hundred years of riding the waves of racism into positions of strength, power, and wealth, they are now desperately clinging on to the last vestige of white supremacy and white privilege.
They are not really concerned with activist judges, because as I said before, there have been nothing but activist judges on the Supreme Court since it’s formation in 1790, who have made decisions that, either did not benefit people of color or ignored the human injustices that have been inflicted upon people of color for centuries.
Now who in their right minds would believe that all of these acts, or failures to act for human justice in 209 years were not based on biases, prejudices, personal opinions, personal points of views, and these people’s backgrounds and upbringings?
Only a racist would deny that the Supreme Court has been a “Good Ole Boys Club” for hundreds of years before a Black Man, or a Woman, another Black Man (who is whiter then most white man), and now the first Female Latino Woman to be appointed to the Supreme Court.
If the law were truly not based on human emotions and judgments, then there would not be so many firsts at lasts in this damn country.
These first, would have come way before they did.
There was some bias in the law somewhere for all those years.
Cut the crap!
Judge Sotomayor will be the First Latino Judge to be appointed to the Supreme Court in its 209-year history.
Why?
Because in spite of the fact that she has human emotions, opinions biases, and other human elements in her character, just like the many white man have had for so long; she is definitely qualified for the position in every way that the white man have been.
And one more thing, I know that your greatest fear is that her love for her people may influence her to do some positive things for her people.
Well! Gentleman, you all have been doing things for your people since the country began, even to the detriment of all other people, so get the hell over it.
Welcome the First Latino, (Highly Qualified), Judge to the Supreme Court:
Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
Here we go again!
Logic has no place when people hate someone because of the way that GOD made them, instead of hating them for the negative bull-shit that they add to their characters after their creation.
We heard it all before, and it didn’t work then, and it is not going to work now.
But as I said at the beginning, there is no logic or reason possible with a person who hates for no other reason then the fact that someone is not like them.
We of course experienced this through the 2 years leading up to the evening of November 4th. 2008, when the nation shut the racist nay Sayers down by changing the face of power in this country in a way that this nation had never experienced in over 230 years.
Many of the people who said that it could not happen in America only wished that it could not happen because of the paralyzing fear that they felt inside as a result of the hate and contempt that they felt inside, which they feared would come back to bite them in the ass.
And the more hate they had inside, the more fear they had inside.
The more people that they had abused, cheated, assaulted, lied on, lied to, and dehumanized in their lifetime that looked like Democratic Presidential Nominee Obama, the more they feared the consequences of his successful election to the Whitehouse.
There were all kinds of lies and excuses coming from the mouth’s of these racist who were blinded by hate then, and are still blinded by hate now, and in all probability will be until the day that they die and enter into White Heaven.
Of course in a world where intellectual supremacy is fast becoming the perquisite for success as opposed to just the color of one’s skin, this nonsense is becoming less and less effective, and is only used by those of inferior intellects because they cannot adapt to the birth of a new nation; (not the Klan movie), or should I say the rebirth of a nation?
We can tell that the people who always oppose the lifting up of people who they are so accustomed to keeping down are of inferior intellect, because of the fact that they are totally out of touch with reality as evidenced by their inability to keep up with the present while looking forward to the future, and by their unwillingness to finally have to actually work at something to be successful. You can also tell by the shoddy workmanship of their faulty logic, artificial reasoning, and their paralyzing fear of revenge on the part of all of the kinds of people that they hate.
Unfortunately every time a person of color causes a shift in the paradigm of achievement in this nation, there will be those conservatives; (conservatives meaning: “Let’s Keep It All White”), who will come out of the woodwork and begin a program of lies, misstatements and twisted facts about the person or person’s of color who are being elevated to new levels that have not been obtained by that same type of person before.
It happens in all areas of endeavors including, education, sports, banking and finance, entrepreneurship, entertainment, science and many other areas that are important to our society as a whole. And most recently because of the fantastic achievements that people of color have made in politics, this is now a strong target area for these “People” to aim their bull-shit at.
The nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court is no different then what the man who nominated her faced before he actually obtained the power by election to do so.
The fact that she may become the first Hispanic Justice to the Supreme Court is scaring the shit out of many of thesee people who are afraid that she just may bring about some positive changes for the Hispanic Community, of which she is a member of.
You see, its okay for White Men to have power and authority to make things better for their people, which they have done throughout history to the detriment of anybody else, but now that they percieve that there is a chance that they may find themselves on the receiving end of such a propositon, it is now quite a problem.
So to all of the “liberals” who are paying close attention, and especially to those who are not, here are few pointers on decoding the bull-shit that the conservatives are putting out there in order to make the confirmation process of Sonia Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court more difficult then it would be for a white Protestant Male.
1. “She is not qualified”. Of course this is a blatant lie. She is as qualified as President Obama is for the position for which he has chosen her for.
2. “She is a bigot and a racist”. This is laughable considering the fact that the fat bag of wind that made this statement is the premiere racist, bigot and sexist idiot in America today and indeed the most recognized all over the world, Rush Limbaugh. He is the guidepost for every other conservative radio or TV personality that perpetrates verbal frauds on a daily basis. Fraud designed to reshape public opinion in order to fit their limited prejudicial view of this country and the world. Sought of an idiot’s idiot.
3. “Her name is too hard to pronounce”. A person should not be in politics if they are not studious or verbally adept enough to learn and pronounce the names of people who are different from them. But then again, that is the problem isn’t it? She is different from them.
4. “Her background will interfere with her ability to make sound judgments concerning important legal issues”. Hey! There have been a majority of White Protestant Males on the Supreme Court bench since it’s creation in 1790 whose background interfered with the decisions that they made. This is why The Emancipation Proclamation, (January 1, 1863), The Civil Rights Movement (1955-1965), The Woman’s Rights, Movement of the early 1900’s and other Human Rights actions had to be taken in order to counteract the decisions made by their backgrounds as White Protestant Males. So after all of those years, now conservatives are concerned with one woman’s background, because she is not a White Protestant Male? What exactly are the conservatives trying to conserve? Answer: An uneven playing field. After 200+years, the first African American Supreme Court Justice, (Thurgood Marshall) was appointed in 1967 by President Lyndon B. Johnson, followed by the second, African American Supreme Court Justice in 1999,Clarence Thomas who is still serving. Sound like progress towards living up to the sacred words in the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights to you?
5. “She is an activist Judge”. They are trying to implant in the minds of anyone who will listen, the implication that “Activist”, like “Liberal”, is a dirty word. All of the judges on the Supreme Court Bench are activist rather for a small group of selfish ass people who think the country consist of them only, or for all of the citizens of the United States of America, which is what the United States of America is supposed to be all about, even though we all know that for centuries, those were just words that had no meaning for many races and classes of people living here.
Are we saying confirm this woman without any type of analysis or investigation just because she is Hispanic?
No! -It’s an important decision that will have long lasting effects on the direction in which our nation will take in the future.
What we are saying is, don’t set back and allow this woman to be treated any differently then all of the White Male Protestants who came before her, The White Male Catholics who came before her, or The (2) African American Males who came before her.
And remember! Activists are good to have around when there’s work to be done. And after hundreds of years of just “White Rule”, there is truly much work to be done in order to make America live up to its creed of “Equal Opportunity For All”
Remember! Activist, like Community Organizers gets shit done.
So do not fall into these traps.
This country is a mixture of all kinds of people, which requires that the wealth, power, and authority must be shared by all of the people. Even South Africa has come to recognize this.
Is this ideal beyond America’s reach?
If it were up to these racist conservatives it would be.
Thank GOD this is not the case.
Republicans and many of their poor disadvantaged base members finally did something to stimulate the economy.
Of course they did not stimulate all sectors of the economy like the new administration is in the process of doing, because that is far too much of a broader problem for a party to tackle that cannot even tackle the issue of what the hell they stand for and who the hell their leader is.
But I must give them credit for taking an active stand and finally contributing something positive to the economy that can be measured, and not something that just produces a very foul stench as a result of clinging to ideologies and policies that have and continue to fail the American People as opposed to changing things that do not work for the benefit of the American People.
For the most part, it appears that the welfare, (let me rephrase that since the word welfare stirs up such a negative connotation for them); that the safety, security and well being of the American People means less to these people then clinging to old warn out ineffective ideas.
The benefit of the country comes second only to seeing that they’re stinking thinking survives, and that the majority of the people in this country continues to suffer in order to make them, (such a small and insignificant number of selfish idiots), comfortable.
Yesterday April 15 2009, which is the dreadful last day to pay taxes to the government if they are owed money, was also a time for many of these conservatives who love this country so much, (so much), that they do not want to pay their fair share of taxes to it, to protest the increase in government spending which President Bush started for no definable long term positive purpose, which President Obama has further increased for a definable long term positive purpose.
It is also important to recognize that millions of Americans also received money from the government this tax season in refunds from the taxes that they have paid throughout the year.
But anyway, these people, (less than FOX News and the rest of the right wing media had anticipated), showed up to protest the actions taken by President Obama and the new administration.
Ideas which they have studied hard and long and determined to be actions that will benefit the economy in the long term; and in spite of the fact that many of these actions have already began to create improvements in our economy, these people, (many who had no idea what the hell they were out there for), did show up across the country to these so called “Tea Parties”.
I applaud all of you for finally making a positive contribution to the economy of the country.
As a result of what you did across the country yesterday, the tea industry saw a significant rise in sales over the last few weeks. Other than that, there was not much else that was accomplished by these so-called tea parties, which were sponsored by “Grassroots People”, from corporate news agencies such as FOX.
What you don’ t understand about Grassroots Movements is the fact that they start with and end with the people, and not with right wing corporate sponsorships. So your movement is not of the people, by the people or for the people and as a result, does not benefit the people.
However, what they did do is fool many of the people who actually benefit from the new policies of the new administration into believing that they are losing something that they do not have, wealth.
This is typical manipulation designed to get poor people to do the dirty work of and protect the wealth of the riches people in America.
So I thank you, the shareholders thank you, and the employees of the all of the tea companies in America thank you, and we look forward to your next massive purchase of tea which will help to at least stimulate this industry.
Now! How about we start working on something to benefit the other segments of the economy that are suffering.
We really need everyone’s help (including yours), to bring us out of the recession that we are currently in, and we will be waiting to hear from you and your leaders with
New Ideas for improving these poor economic conditions in America.
Of course if we do not get this contribution from you, then we will not be disappointed, because doing something good for the entire country, (all of it’s people) is not your forte.
You all would rather bitch and moan and complain about the people who are trying to make the country better; wouldn’t you?
Bravo!
Hats off to the International Shipping Corporation Giant, UPS for not continuing to provide income to the very ignorant , very racist, and ultra conservative, (idiot without the desire, ability or intelligence to change even when it is for the purpose of preserving life, liberty and justice for all), Bill O’Reilly.

This is a victory for all of the people in this country who have decided that they actually want America to be the country that it’s precious documents say that it should be; not just one particular race of people, or just those who are rich and powerful, but for all American Citizens.
This decision came as a result of Bill O’Reilly’s insistence on continuing to use his Modern Day Nazi Squad to harass people who disagree with his idiotic points of view, which benefit only him and those who are like him who feel that no one else in this country has a right to breath God’s air.
Finally! There was so much public outrage because of the fact that O’Reilly, (a man who blames woman for the fact that they have been raped), was scheduled to speak at the “It Happened to Alexa Foundation” luncheon in Palm Springs Florida. This is just wrong, and a further example of the hypocrisy of people who have not evolved, and who have never considered working on themselves to become better human beings.
It makes no sense for this man to speak at a luncheon or any function being sponsored by a rape victims advocacy group.
http://www.ithappenedtoalexa.org/Welcome.html
In addition to blaming rape victims on his program, he sent his Modern Day Nazi Squad out to harass Think Progress. Org’s Managing Editor, Amanda Terkel because of a story that they did on his insensitivity to rape victims.
She is one of many victims stalked and harassed by his Hit Squad.
http://thinkprogress.org/stop-oreilly-harassment/
What is so disturbing, (and the reason that we cannot let down our guard against racism, discrimination, injustice and inequality for all Americans), is the fact that there are enough of these people in this country to support people like Bill O’Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, Ann Coulter, Dick Morris, and a multitude of others.
The fact that these idiots have enough supporters to keep them in business is reason enough to keep fighting.
As I have said many times before, it was good to savor the victory of the November 4th. Election of President Obama, that is a great accomplishment, and a moment in history that African Americans should be proud of, because we were always taught by many of our elders that we would never live to see it. And it should be a source of pride to all Americans, because it shows just how far we as a country have progressed towards making all of the warm and fuzzy concepts of justice, freedom, and equality for all a reality.
And for African Americans, it should be frightening that we have a significant number of people from our race who do not identify with or care about the race that they are a part of by God’s Proclamation, people like: Juan Williams, Reverend, Jessie Lee Peterson, Larry Elder, Angela McGlowan, and Erick Rush.
These people are dangerous to the survival of the black race, as a matter of fact, all people who subscribe to these types of twisted extremist political viewpoints that people like these, (black or white do), are dangerous for what our country truly is, and what it truly represents.
So it is my great pleasure to thank UPS for recognizing that this country is not, nor will it become the bed of ignorance, hatred, and unearned privilege that many have tried to make it be throughout our history.
It is very refreshing and encouraging when a major corporation of the magnitude of UPS, not only focuses on making huge profits, but that they do it while also being socially responsible to their fellow man.
I and other people who care about all people, applaud your decision to not participate in this type of hate slinging.
Hey FEDX!, and O’Reilly’s other major sponsors, where you at?
Need Cash Now? This Is The Home Of Fast Approvals
Change in Washington DC is a reality in spite of the naysayers.
There is evidence of dramatic positive change coming to the White House, and as a result the nation.
Although many people who have been benefiting from unearned recognition, unearned social promotions and privileges that they were unworthy of in the first place are denying this change because they are afraid that allowing all Americans equality and a chance to live the American Dream will somehow destroy their way of life.
These are the people who would not recognize change if it smacks them in the face, because it already has, and they continue to not recognize or acknowledge it.
Denying the positive changes that this new administration has began implementing in Washington DC, helps them maintain their sense of entitlement and superiority, and therefore their sense of security.
Now of course nothing or no one can satisfy all of the people all of the time, especially the President of the United State of America, (as we witnessed on November 4th. 2008), when the majority of the American People made it clear that they were tired of living in this country under Republican Control, because of the fact that this control had put us into an unnecessary war based on faulty intelligence and just plain lies, which were used to cover up the real reason for this invasion, which was to allow Dick Cheney’s company Halliburton, and some of their other rich friends and business associates to make massive profits at the expense of human lives
As far as Vice President Dick Cheney’s company is concerned, in the regular business world, this would be viewed as a conflict of interest and would not be allowed. However when you and your cronies have the power to bend and twist the laws of the land and the truth in your favor, then robbing and steeling and killing Americans for profit can be achieved.
And when you have a small segment of society that blindly follows these people because they do not do their own research, and they just accept whatever these public servants say, (because that is what they are supposed to be, servants not masters), of the American People, then this is how they get away with this shit.
My discontent with George W. Bush began way back in 2001, way before the 2008 elections, when I already knew that he was going to war in Iraq simply because he wanted to; (maybe because of the assassination attempt on his daddy).
But whatever the reason, I had already detected that he was going over there irregardless of what the American people said, thought or felt, or what the people that we elected to represent us in Washington had to say.
As a result, we have had almost 5000 Americans die, billions of dollars spent with no return on investment, (except for those entities that I mentioned above), countless lies told to congress, the American People, and to anyone else who would listen including the Prime Minister of England Tony Blair.
And as a result of all of this death, destruction and deception, we have also inherited a potential massive economic catastrophe, which the new administration is doing everything humanly possible to correct, including implementing some very bold, innovative and revolutionary actions that have never been attempted before.
Hell this is what America has always been about isn’t it?
And yet, those who still want something for nothing, and who want to continue to wheel and deal behind closed doors in order to swindle billions of dollars, and rob ordinary citizens of the opportunity to adequately provide for their own needs and those of their families, simply because they do not have the advantage of being a member of this exclusive club; are trying to convince the world that change has not come as a result of the election of President Obama.
So we had all of these negative incidents occur under Republican Rule over the past 8 years, and now what do we have?
We have poor Caucasians who have been fooled into believing that Republicans are on their side, and that they should fear the changes that the new administration is making, because these changes will cause them to lose the great wealth that they do not have.
And for some of these poor Caucasians, it is not just the fear of change, it is just the fact that the new president is black which intensifies their fear.
We have black Uncle Toms, who have so much self-hatred that they would rather be slaves, but since the plantations have been eliminated, they want to be slaves under a white master in the Republican Party, rather then to be free and acknowledge that they are a member of the black race; (a race of people who have been hated, despised and dehumanized by the very people who brought them here), who in spite of it all, have managed to survive, grow and prosper, and have created a lasting legacy of pride and accomplishment in this country.
That’s the bad news.
Here is the good news.
We have a president who is communicating directly online with millions of American Citizens, taking questions, answering questions and looking for solutions that will benefit the large majority of Americans who are interested in seeing this country become a equal, prosperous, and respectful to all of it’s citizens, (not just those of a particular race, creed, color, national origin, or income level).
A president that does not like to talk about important issues without first knowing what the hell he is talking about. That’s a big change from George W. Bush, and many before him.
A president who has been working constantly from his first day in office to effect a dramatic and revolutionary change in the way government operates for the benefit of the American People; (all of them), not just the rich, powerful and the socially ignorant.
We also have people reaching out to people who they would otherwise be afraid of or despise in the past, who are now working together to make this country and this world a safer, cleaner and fairer place to live for everyone who is willing to work and sacrifice in order to fulfill a dream.
A president who listens to the concerns of the American People, and addresses those concerns to the best of his and his staff’s ability.
So to all of you who are still in denial about the change going on around you, it’s okay, because change will continue with, or without you.
It always has, that is why plantations have been eliminated.

On Sunday Night’s 60 Minutes episode while being interviewed by Steve Kroft, President Obama laughed when asked about the bailout of the Auto Industry, and of course just like everything else that he does rather it is innocent or a mistake, positive or negative, high or low, black or white, right or wrong, it really does not matter; and because they have nothing more to contribute to our society that will improve it, the conservatives; (Republicans), and those who sympathize with them have turned an innocent laugh in response to a question into an offence equal to a war crime.
However, as bad as the economy is and all of the other terrible situations that we are facing as a nation, including the war in Iraq, (which is becoming a potential war crime), I do not believe for one minute that these same people who are using an innocent laugh as an excuse to persecute the new president, has given up on laughter and joy in their lives.
So I guess that these people have not laughed since George W. Bush was in office, because that is when shit started to deteriorate.
These are the same people who have no new or fresh innovative ideas that will help elevate our nation back to the level of respect, international cooperation and economic strength that it is known for.
Instead of trying to build up the country, they are trying instead to tear the new president down, per the instructions of Rush Limbaugh, and others like him.
Once Again! It is not working.
It did not work when John McCain tried it during the campaign, and it is not working now, because the vast majority of the American People have made it clear that they are tired of fear mongering, war mongering, and hate mongering.
This once again, demonstrates these people’s inability to adapt and change, and to learn and grow.
In addition to learning disabilities and social blindness, they are also suffering from selective amnesia; because for all of the hoopla and fanfare that they have raised about President Obama laughing in response to a question about the auto industry on 60 minutes, they have yet to be outraged by the idiotic, insensitive, and downright cruel comments made by their Heroic President George W. Bush, who repeatedly made jokes about the Non Existent Weapons of Mass Destruction, which was the cover story used to initiate this war, a war that has caused the deaths of almost 5000 American lives, and has cost this nation billions of dollars, which played a significant role in the current economic crises that the new administration is trying to get in check.

My! My! All of these jokes about death and destruction and not even a whimper from any of them, but they want to take an innocent laugh in response to a question on the economy and make it appear as if President Obama does not care for this country and the deplorable condition that 8 years of Republicanism has left in.
No wonder the Republican Party is now viewed by average citizens as a bunch of selfish, dishonest idiots who are becoming obsolete because they are unable to change and adapt to the positive direction that the majority of the American People have decided to take this country in.
I know how unreceptive the Republican Party is to new and innovative ideas, but here are 2 for your consideration:
1. Why don’t you try sincerely having the best interest of the American People at heart, (all of them, not just your little corrupt clique)?
2. Here’s one that has not been used by the Republican Party for many years; try telling the truth.
Need Cash Now? This Is The Home Of Fast Approvals
Last night the president who promised change delivered on that promise once again, while making history in the process, once again.
This is a fact that makes many republicans and all racist sick to their stomachs.
Nonetheless, President Barack Obama became the first sitting president in history to appear on a national talk show.
What’s the big deal?
Well! We all know that political candidates have always showed up in black churches if their white, and white churches if their black, at rallies kissing babies, and everywhere else that they think they may be able to get a vote, including on national talk shows.
However, what makes President Obama different is that he made appearances at black and white churches, at rallies kissing babies, and everywhere else where he thought he could get a vote.
However the election is now over, and this president has kept most of the campaign promises that he made, (you know the ones that he could keep without the complete and total cooperation of The Senate and The House).
To keep in touch with the American People, (particularly the American People who elected him to office), is something that is within his power, and something that he has continued to do as promised.
Now I know that his many critics, (which are mostly comprised of the 2 R’s), Republicans and Racist, have complained about the bailouts, the bonuses, and the fact that there was so much pork in the stimulus bill that he signed, after he said that he wanted to eliminate this kind of wasteful spending in Washington and across the nation.
But the reality of the situation is, that although his critics continue to repeat the mantra “He promised change but what he is delivering is business as usual politics”; what they leave out of this mantra is one little very important detail that he included within that promise, which was the fact that all of this change would not occur overnight, and that it may not even occur within his first term.
Some how they conveniently leave this part of the campaign promise out.
So continuing to repeat this mantra as if The President has already failed the American People in less then 60 days, (hoping that the majority of the American People will believe it), is quite ridiculous.
And most of the people who voted for President Obama are well aware of this stupidity and the motives behind it.
That is why they voted for him.
We also know where it is coming from.
It comes from that small segment of society that (for one or more reasons), which usually involves one of the 2 R’s, wants to see President Obama fail, even if it means the destruction of a nation and all of it’s people, (including them).
They want the president to fail, no matter what the consequences.
And this directive has been clearly stated by the leader of the Republican Party:
Rush Limbaugh:
Now there are some in this clique who have said that the very same people who are complaining about the criticism against Obama, are the same people who wanted George W. Bush to fail.
Well Folks! I’ve got some news for you.
George W. Bush did not care about what the American People said, thought, or did, nor did he care about the House, the Senate, or anyone else who disagreed with him.
He did not even care about our laws, the constitution, or anything that makes America, America.
What he was striving to be was a dictator.
.So in reality, George W. Bush failed miserably and completely on his own without help from anyone.
Are we as stupid as the people who are in this little divisive clique?
Hell No!
We would have loved it if President Bush would have been successful, then we would all still have jobs, we would have a budget surplus, and thousands of husbands, wives, sons, daughters, relatives and friends, would not be dead right now because of an extremely expensive, ineffective war, which was in theory, a war to capture and kill Osama Bin Laden for the mass murder of over 2000 American Citizens on 911.
This did not occur, and the American People were oblivious to the ever changing cover stories for the war, from capturing, Osama Bin Laden to bringing justice to the Iraq People by capturing and killing Saddam Hussein for crimes against humanity and for Harboring Terrorist and Weapons of Mass Destruction, (which have yet to be found),to Establishing Democracy, to Preventing A Civil War, to Keeping The Insurgents In Check.
A war without a definite purpose equals lives lost for no definite purpose.
This is totally unacceptable to anyone who cares about God’s most precious gift; Life.
Now the same people who fought congress to give President Bush a blank check for the war, and a blank check for the bailouts can come up with nothing more productive then to complain about President Obama taking time out from his busy schedule to visit the Jay Leno Show, to continue to fulfill his campaign promise to maintain an open line of communications with the American People.
“He flies off to Los Angeles tonight to be on the Jay Leno show,” said Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz. “My suggestion is that he come back — since he’s taken the full responsibility — to get his people together and say: ‘All right, I want to know exactly what happened? Who did what when? And how are we going to prevent this from ever happening in the future?’”
This coming from a group of people whose leader spent approximately 487 days on vacation at Camp David, and approximately 490 days at his ranch in Crawford.
Mr. Bush has found his legacy.
He is “The Most Vacationing President In History”, with Ronald Reagan in 2nd. Place.
These are all of the same tactics that were implemented and supported by the majority of Republicans when John McCain and Sarah Palin were running against Barack Obama and Joe Biden, which did not work, and they are still doing this same stupid bullshit that failed miserably in the 2008 Presidential Election today.
This is why I maintain that The Republicans are a political party with severe learning disabilities.
It’s also important to note that last night’s appearance was a success for the President, as well as for The Tonight Show”.
Nielsen is giving high approval ratings to President Barack Obama's appearance on NBC's "Tonight Show." Obama's visit with Jay Leno, the first by a sitting president, scored an 11.2 rating in metered-market households
Jay Leno Show A Big Hit Last NIght
There was one mistake that President Obama made last night,(for which he had apologized for even before last night’s show aired), and that was when he compared his bowling skills to that of the disabled athletes who participate in the Special Olympics.
President Obama Apologizes To The Chairman Of The Special Olympics Tim Shriver
This was a mistake on the part of the President, because he is too politically savvy to intentionally insult the disabled citizens of this country. In addition, he is more of a humanitarian then most of the Republicans who are trying to criticize, undermine and sabotage him.
So if you need a talking point for this evening’s news; there you have it, take this and run with it.
And to all of you Republicans who are complaining that President Obama is doing too much; the fact of the matter is, that as bad a shape as your President Bush left this country in, there is no such thing as doing too much; only not doing enough.
Last night’s show was a smart move, and a successful move for President Obama, Jay Leno; and good for the Majority of American the People.
The majority who voted for President Obama.
Do you need your cash quick? This is the home of fast approvals!
In spite of all of the progress that we have made as a nation, there are still a significant number of racists who think that the whole world is 1800’s south. This point of view is based on the success, comfort, and progress of a few ignorant people, who thank GOD, is now a minority.
And they miss this world so much that they will say or do anything to get back to it.
It is not, nor will it ever be back, unless we experience a run on stupid black people who think that these types of insults and attacks on the character of our First African American President, and the people of all races who support the change that he is attempting to bring to this country, is not leading up to something more then just posting a funny cartoon.
There is more to it then just a cartoon or a joke.
Did you hear the one about the new black guy in town?
A black man arrives in a new town and asks a white man,” where do all of the black people hang out round here?”
The white man says, “right over there on that tree.”
Just a joke?
Ha Ha My Ass!
Millions of black human beings were subjected to this cruel and mercilessness death simply because some people had a beef with them for the way that GOD made them.
So to all the ignorant, sleep, uninformed, and socially unwire black people, (and white people), who think that this is just a cartoon, let me just tell you, that somewhere, right now, there is more the one sick racist individual who has taken that cartoon, (which depicted a black monkey being shot to death), a monkey that no doubt represents President Obama, and he or she has internalized this cartoon, and has at least a thought, about doing something stupid to the president, and if he or she thinks about it long enough, this thought will blossom into a plan of action.
And to the many white racists who helped this issue sell out by purchasing as many copies as they could, because they think that it is just a funny cartoon; fine!
Your opinions, thoughts, and actions in support of this racist attack masked in humor, will never be enough to destroy the progress of a nation.
These are the kinds of subliminal messages that the media in this country have used for hundreds of years to control the masses.
This cartoon in no exception.
One thing I do agree with is "Freedom of Speech", so they do have a right to post it, and we do have a right to respond to it, like the majority of the common sense people in this country, (of all races) has done.
I think that we needed to respond to this message of hate as we did.
But I also still maintain that the way that a few racist in high and low places treat us, is not nearly as important as how we as African Americans treat each other.
So to all who are still sleep, and continue to poison our neighborhoods, kill our sisters and brothers, (or anyone who is not a threat to you in any way), disrespect our woman, and neglect our children, you need to be more concerned about that.
Because this will be the true measure of our success or failure as a race of people, not what a few idiotic racist, who will always exists, say or think of us.
It is time for all African Americans, and other races of people who want peace, freedom and equality for the generations to come, to remain alert if you are already alert, or to work hard to become alert if you are not.
Do not let this minority of idiots pull the wool over your eyes, even if they do try to disguise it as a joke.
The old folks used to always say that “many true words are spoken in a joke”’ everyone needs to pay attention.
The cartoon in today’s issue of the New York Post that depicts 2 white policeman killing a black chimpanzee, and then making the statement, “They’ll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill”, is a direct attack on President Obama, the black race, white people who want a better country that features fairness and equality for all, (which is what the hell the United States of America is supposed to be all about anyway), and all people who are in the process of trying to heal and unify this nation.
The statements made against Reverend Al Sharpton in defense of this article are also an insult on the intelligence of all black people who have not sold out in favor of the enemy.
And by enemy, I am not referring to any particular race of people, but to those who cannot, or will not recognize this racist attack against our president for what it is; a racist attack against our president, and all the people who’s skin tone matches his.
I predicted this as soon as I heard the story about the police having to shoot the out of control chimpanzee.
However, I did not think that it would take the form of an attack against the president and his new stimulus bill which passed in spite of the republicans insistence on playing business as usual politics.
The newspaper is trying to say that the black chimpanzee being shot represents Washington DC, and not President Obama.
However, the only people who believe this crap are the white people who are racists, and the black people who are oblivious to the fact that our race is, and has always been under attack by those who still believe that we are apes, gorillas, chimpanzees and other inhuman creatures.
This is why I continue to warn everyone who does not know, and remind those who do, that not only are we as a race of people under constant attack, but that all Americans of all races who know that it is wrong to hate or destroy people because of the way that GOD made them are also under attack.
In other words, anyone who is devoted to making this country be the country that is was truly meant to be, is a target.
And President Obama, his team, and all those who support him are the bulls eye.
This is why we must not let our support for the president end just because November 4th 2008 has passed.
The fight for freedom and equality for all Americans in this country based on who they are, and how they conduct themselves and contribute to society as citizens of this great nation, instead of the form in which GOD decided to make them; is not a fight that we can afford to lose.
I’ll say it again as I have said many times before; the election of President Obama was just the first step in many that we need to repeat constantly in order to make this country work like it is supposed to work, (not just for the rich and the powerful), but for the poor people who are capable and willing to do better, and those who cannot because of circumstance beyond their control, the working class, and yes, even those who are well off.
And to all of you who are well off, you need to pay particular attention to what is happening to your wealth these days.
Because if the current economic situation does not convince you that you need the people who are lower on the totem pole to lift you up, then you will continue to lose your businesses, your corporate positions, and your generational wealth.
Why?
Because the Average Working American Citizen is your foundation, and no structure can raise up without it’s foundation.
Yes the cartoon is a racist attack masked with humor.
But what amazes me is the fact that so many people are shocked after all of these hundreds of years.
Racism is not going to go away because we have our first African American President.
So don’t expect it to.
What is important is not that racism still exists, but it’s what all of the people who despise it do about it.
It is very important that we demonstrate to the world that we are outraged about the injustices that continue to effect us all in this country. But the most important thing for us to remember is that it is not how they treat us that counts at this point in history, it is how we treat each other.
So please be mindful of that.
And to Reverend Al Sharpton, you did a great job in gathering a cross section of all different races and classes of people for a consensus on what this cartoon really meant, and how distasteful it was to many Americans, not just African Americans.
The are only calling you a publicity seeker, because you are drawing attention to this and other situations that should not be occurring in America in the new millennium.
Keep up the good work.
And The Republicans Don’t Like It!
The election is over, and the battle for justice and equality for all continues.
To all who supported Senator Barack Obama during the election, do not stop supporting President Obama now.
The election was just the first step in a very long succession of steps that will need to be repeated over and over again, probably for the rest of our lifetime, and the lifetimes of our offspring before we see the much needed change to government in Washington, DC and throughout the country.
Please keep your signs on your lawns, on your cars, and in your windows. Please keep wearing your President Obama buttons, T-shirts, jackets, hats, and any other apparel that you have that shows the world that you are supporting this president.
A president who has hit the ground running to do the things that he said he would do during his campaign, and is actually making a sincere effort to make justice and equality for all a reality, rather then just warm and fuzzy words that have no practical application in the lives of normal everyday people.
He began making “Change” the focus of his election 2 years before it even looked like he may become president, he continued with this message throughout his campaign, and he has now moved into the Whitehouse as president, and the consistency of his message of “Change” continues to ring out even though the election has ended.
This in itself is the first indication of change coming to our government.
The standard practice of politicians here in the U.S. is that during the election, they always say what they need to say in order to be elected to the office they seek, and then once they are voted in based on the lies that they have told, they do nothing.
The fact that President Elect Obama accepted and admitted to his humanness and his limitations as a man was demonstrated when he said, “ I am going to make mistakes. There will be false starts, set backs and problems, but I promise you that I will always tell you the truth about where we are”.
And in spite of the fact that Republicans (as usual), are trying to capitalize on the mistakes made in the vetting process of Tom Daschle to head the Department of Health and Human Services, who failed to pay back taxes of over $100,000 dollars for a car and driver that was lent to him by a friend, Nancy Killefer, Obama's appointment to oversee budget and spending reform, who cheated on her taxes; Timothy Geither, another Obama appointment, who cheated on his taxes; and Bill Richardson, Governor of New Mexico another Obama appointment (Commerce Secretary) -who sold his soul for state contracts to campaign donors.
However Nancy Killefer withdrew her nomination first, followed by Tom Daschle on Tuesday, and Bill Richardson withdrew his nomination several weeks ago.
President Obama has accepted all of these people’s resignations and has admitted and apologized to the American People for his errors. President Obama said, “I think I screwed up”.
This is also a new and refreshing change for government in this country.
Even though it is now, and has been for quite some time, a well-known fact, have you ever heard the 43rd president of the United States, or any before him admit that he was human and that he had made mistakes?
Hell No!
You have not seen this unless you are old enough to Remember President John Fitzgerald Kennedy and the Cuban Bay of Pigs invasion in April 1961. This was the last time that an American President offered a public apology to the American People.
John F. Kennedy apologized to the American People for this miserable failure.
Seeing a President, or for that matter any politician who makes a mistake apologizing for it is unheard. Most refuse to admit it, because they think that you the American Public are stupid enough to believe that just because a mortal being wears the title of President of the United State of America, that he is somehow divine and show how immune to human error, which anyone with the slightest amount of common sense knows is a lie.
Even one of our greatest presidents “did not have sex with that woman Monica”. Lewinsky.
President Obama’s apology is a good thing. Because it shows that he is human just like the people who chose him to represent them, it also shows that he cannot do it all alone. He needs his staff, and the American People who supported him during the campaign, and the people and leaders from nations around the globe to continue to do so.
That’s change we can believe in, and should give us hope that the positive change that we have always needed in government is finally becoming a reality.
Obama Admits That He Screwed Up
The fact that President Obama has remained consistent in his message and purpose before, after, and doing the campaign, and now in the Whitehouse as President, indicates that a much needed change is coming to Washington politics specifically, and national politics in general.
However, even thought these changes are becoming quite apparent at the highest levels of government, we must remember that it will take a more time and effort for this change to filter down to our local corrupt leaders.
The Republicans, who are now in an uproar about the fact that they are no longer in a position to do big favors for all of their rich and powerful friends, are so desperate that they will do and say anything to have that power back.
Remember, power concedes nothing without a fight, even after an election.
Although the majority of the American People made it perfectly clear that they no longer wanted to live under a system of government where it is okay to give Welfare to Wall street CEO’s, and other rich and powerful Corporate and Bank Executives, enter into wars and kill thousands of innocent Americans without any other motive except to create profits for theirs and their friend’s business interests, break the law and call it Executive Privilege, and a host of other Anti-American Acts smothered under the cover of false patriotism.
And after all that they have done for their rich friends, these same people don’t care rather or not poor people have food for their children, milk for their babies, housing to protect them from the elements, and worst of all, they want to deny people a way out of poverty.
These people could care less if poor people’s children receive an education that gives them the chance to compete at any level that they are willing to work hard to compete for.
And they hate and despise anyone who is willing to make an effort to see that the poor people in this country have an opportunity to change their destiny, or that average middle class citizens will be paid fair wages, and receive adequate benefits to take care of themselves and their families, thereby giving them the power to change their destiny, and rise to whatever station in life they are willing to work hard and sacrifice to get to.
Please be aware that this is what the Democratic Party represents, and that now the leader of the Democratic Party is President Obama. So, the Republicans are now on a mission to capitalize on each and every honest mistake that the president and his staff make, in order to persuade as many people who are not on guard or aware of what their mission in this country is truly all about, to not give their support to the president if they have not, and to have those who do support the president withdraw their support.
Do not let this happen.
The closer we come to making this country everything that all the precious documents say that is should be, the more resistance you will see coming from those who want to continue to be the elite who receive special treatment in this country, (even when breaking the law in the name of love for country).
You have already seen evidence of this:
Dick Chaney is practicing fear mongering from the sidelines, attempting to induce fear of terrorist attacks in the American People as a result of President Obama’s new approach to dealing with foreign countries with diplomacy and tact, as opposed to just militarism.
Mr. KKK, David Dukes, (the racist’s racist), has emerged from obscurity this week, calling the new Leader of the Republican Party, Michael Steel a racist.
Isn’t it amusing when the racist come out and call other people racist?
There will be more on Michael Steel later.
We also have Republicans crying foul about every program that is in the stimulus package that relates to helping Poor, or Middle Class Americans, while in the same breath, they are still crying out for massive tax breaks to Corporate America, which is exactly the approach that was taken over the last 8 years, which has proven to be the main contributing factor to the collapse of our financial system.
Now they are still looking for ways to allow the rich and powerful to become even more rich and powerful.
They are calling President Obama a socialist, a Marxist, a socialist, a communist and or a nationalist because he is proposing a salary cap of ½ million dollars for their buddies on Wall street, but what they refuse to acknowledge is the fact that President Obama didn’t make this a nationalist proposition, the companies that are in trouble who came begging for a bailout using tax payers money made this a nationalist proposition.
What they want is to take taxpayers money without any system of accountability.
They do not want to play by the rules, they want to be treated special when they receive welfare, and they don’t want the people who need welfare to receive it at all.
Don’t they know that Claudine had to throw out her man, and hide her toaster to keep her welfare benefits?
What the hell makes them think that they are going to get welfare without any restrictions?
Pay attention.
The better President Obama becomes at his job, the more attacks you will see launched against him and that segment of society that continues to support him.
President Obama and the people, who voted for him, represent everything that this group of elitists hates.
And the reason that they are so mad and becoming increasingly agitated and dangerous on a daily basis is, because these are the things that they have been getting away with for hundreds of years, and not they just cannot accept the fact that the free ride is coming to an end.
And one other thing, listening to Republicans cry about the people who President Obama has chosen to appoint to his cabinet, and accusing him of choosing people who are from the school of thought that does thing the same old way , which (they say), does not look like “Change” is truly hypocritical.
Don’t you think?
The reason that Obama cannot find honest experienced politicians to fill the posts that he needs filled, is because he has set the bar higher then it’s ever been set before, and there are just not enough of them to go around.
So President Obama has to take the best-experienced people that he can find because the tasks are so crucial, and try to teach old dogs new tricks.
So although the Republicans are citing the many appointments that President Obama has made that are from the same old school, the fact of the matter is that he needs experienced people to do the job, and he is the new sheriff in town, and has made it clear to these people, and the American People, that they will function and perform under a new kind of government.
This is why President Obama needs every body’s support that wants this country to be the place where everyone truly has an opportunity to create the kind of life that they want for themselves and their families through hard work and sacrifice.
If this is what you believe in, then please continue to actively support President Obama, and his appointments.
And communicate with the Government, it is yours, and this is what President Obama wants us to do.
That is also change that we can believe in, a government in the United States that listens to its people.
