As I sit today in front of the keyboard, I have cubic shit-tons of things running through my head. The primary stuff I cannot write about, which I need to write about, but can't. So your getting this random smatter about politics and the life.
It's amazing to me, in this day in age, that people can still be manipulated to believe a certain way based on things that are purely not fact. Moreover, I'm scared of that. Scared, shit... downright panic stricken.
I believe in America, well at least I used to. Growing up in an environ that saw me as a minority, I never thought differently of people. There are good and bad amongst all of us, no matter the race color or creed. To me, we are all on the journey, and to the betterment of my life that I understand those around me that are in the game as well.
Recently, I have been brought to ponder why the actions that one can observe are taking place. Government is at a stand-still, anything the current president does is ripped to shreds, even when he flat out purposes plans that the minority suggested in the first place. I will site a couple of quick examples here but I'm in no mood to go in depth about stuff. I'm more just blathering for those that want to read something besides what they should be reading. (psst.. thanks for reading) (pppppssssttt this will be a quick one promise)
1) Guy bitches about the US, flys a plane into a government building in an attempt to kill people as a statement against out country. Remember 9-11? Same thing... Only this guy is a hero. The right has hoisted him up as a savior rallying against Obama and his Tax America Policy. Oh yeah... He was White.
2) The Tea Party. Seriously people? Where were the rally's when good ol Dubya was waging a war based on lies? THOSE were your "tax dollars" as well. See point 1, but again we pointed out, along with the majority of the world, that Iraq had nothing to do with it... but thanks to Fox News, to this day 37% of the people still feel Saddam was behind 9-11.. Including Sarah Palin who was NEARLY THE VP? All of this talk about how bad Obama is on Spending, and the Health Care mess, all against their own self interest... and even questioning if he was born in the USA. No one seems to care that McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone. Oh yeah... He's White Too...
3) Sarah Palin... Really?!? My only statement on this situation is that you call for Rahm to be fired for using the word "Retard" in a private meeting... But when Rush uses it... and directly refers to those that are disabled, it's Satire. Wait... Oh Yeah. He's White. Wait.. So is Rahm.. But he does have a non-American sounding name. Guilt by association with Obama?
Here's the closing of my rant. I voted for Obama, not because he was anything BUT the best person to do the job. I didn't drink the kool-aide.... I knew going in he was a centrist. I also am not looking to stir the pot of racial tensions... well perhaps I am. This country still has a major problem with Race. I suppose I would just be happier if the bastards that have an issue with it would just out and say it. At least then we would know why you stand where you stand, and why you are willing to destroy this nation with division by stoking irrational fear, rather than believe in the principles the country was founded on and hope for a better tomorrow. All I'm asking is for is you to say up front... Hi, I'm Glen Beck, and I'm this way because I cannot stand the fact that we are being led by a Black Man. Say it Sarah... you know it's what your thinking, your actions are clear. Do us all a favor Fox, just run on your little bottom line what you get behind closed doors... Ruin this great man, or we might have to deal with a Chicano next.
Til next time....
