McCain & Obama At The Barbershop

John McCain and Barack Obama somehow ended up at the same barbershop.

As they sat there, each being worked on by a different barber, not a word was spoken.

The barbers were even afraid to start a conversation for fear it would turn to politics.

As the barbers finished their shaves, the one who had McCain in his chair reached for the aftershave.

McCain was quick to stop him saying, 'No thanks, my wife will smell that and think I've been in a whorehouse.

'The second barber turned to Obama and said, 'How about you?'Obama replied, 'Go ahead; my wife doesn't know what the inside of a whorehouse smells like.'

Sarah Palin Misses An Opportunity To Associate Herself With A Real Seasoned Politician: Hillary Clinton

On Monday, Hillary Clinton was scheduled to speak at a protest near the UN against Iranian President, Mahmoud Anmadinejad.

However, her representatives cancelled her appearance when they found out that Sarah Palin was also scheduled to speak.

This is just another obvious futile attempt on the part of the McCain/Palin Campaign to fool woman who gave their support and their votes to Senator Clinton into thinking that Sarah Palin is a Hillary Clinton.

Nice try McCain, but as you can see, the bullshit is not working.

And what’s even funnier is the fact that since Clinton’s cancellation, Sarah Palin has decided that non-partisan politics should take precedence over the threat of a nuclear Iran. Oh Please! -Cut the crap.

The attempt to insult the intelligence of thousands of woman voters has not succeeded.

And for me personally, you’re attempt at trying to associate yourself with Senator Clinton has been hilarious.

The majority of people who are not politically naïve recognized the McCain Campaign’s token move as just what it was, a political ploy.

I think the only one who still does not know what is was is Sarah Palin.

She seems to have thoroughly brainwashed herself into believing that she is the political powerhouse that John McCain tried to make her out to be.

But most of the woman that I know, especially in the Black Community, already looked beyond the lies and the shit eatin grins, and saw how superficial and plastic she was from day one.

As a matter of fact, I have heard many of them say: “What woman are they talking about when they say that all of America’s Woman are so amazed and excited about her being added to the McCain Ticket, they didn’t talk to me”.

So, I just wanted to take a moment to thank Senator Hillary Clinton for not aiding them in their attempts to deceive the American Public.

Thank you Senator Clinton for being a part of the movement to elect the right team for the job, Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

Hillary Clinton Cancels Speech At Protest, When She Learns That Sarah Palin Is Scheduled To Speak Also.

Even Karl Rove Says McCain’s Lying Has Gone To Far

As all of us who are old enough and smart enough, know that politicians are known for lying. As a matter of fact, a great part of what they do when campaigning is lying to the people in order to convince them that they are going to solve all of the people’s problems.

These behaviors range anywhere from, distorting or exaggerating the truth, lying by omission, and just plain old pure unadulterated lying.

While we are aware of inaccuracies that have occurred within the Obama campaign, we have just got to say that John McCain and Sarah Palin have reached a new high in lows, for a political campaign.

You know that things are really getting bad when the number 1 Bush Confidant, who is 1 of 3 people who should be in handcuffs, (the other 2 being George W. Bush, and Dick Cheney, and all who helped them deceive the American People in reference to the Iraq War), says that McCain’s lies in his ads have gone too far.

Karl Rove On McCain

This is one of the most faithful Republican Politicians in the country. So faithful that he was, and still is willing to face the possibility of prison in order to protect his bosses, George W. Bush, and Dick Cheney.

So when the American People hear this testimony coming from someone whom you would least expect it to be coming from, then you really have to wonder about the character of the people that he is referring to.

This should weigh heavily in your decision on November 4, 2008. However, in spite of the fact that the majority of the things that John McCain and his running mate Sarah Palin have been saying, has been said to deceive the American People, there will still be a significant number of Americans that will not vote for the right guy, because he is not the white guy.

Of course, there is no use trying to reach people who are so ignorant that they can only judge people by the things that they have no control over, instead of for the things that they have conquered. So for them, you may want to tune out now.

However, for the people who are not blinded by prejudice and hatred, you may want to reevaluate your decision based on competence and character, and not on that other thing.

Know what I mean?

The Latest Terror Threat From The McCain Campaign

The latest threat to national security, (according to the McCain Campaign), is the statement made by Barack Obama where he makes reference to putting lipstick on a pig.

Because the McCain Campaign cannot address or acknowledge the leader of their party: George W. Bush, or the performance of their party over the last 8 years, they must find something to arouse the American People into a frenzy about.

By doing so, they think that they can make the majority of Americans, (who do benefit from social programs that were created by the vicious anti-American criminals known as liberals), not pay attention or forget what they have seen, heard and experienced as a result of the Republicans Party’s incompetence and negligence.

So even though Barack Obama has been under vicious attacks, first from his Democratic adversary Hillary Clinton, and now from the plastic people known as the McCain/Palin Team, or should I say the Palin/McCain Team. You be the judge.

But anyway! This team has now accused Obama of making this statement in reference to Sarah Palin.

However, this statement is not a Barack Obama original.

This is a cliché that is used in politics, sports, business, and in general conversation.

As a matter of fact, John McCain used the same statement in May of 2007, when referring to Hillary Clinton’s Health Care Plan. And now, he wants an apology from Barack Obama, because he used it in one of his speeches while referring to the McCain/Palin/Bush/Cheney Policies.

However, the McCain Campaign who has attacked Barack Obama repeatedly is now crying foul, boo hoo- because they say that his remarks were being directed to Sarah Palin.

Personally, I truly believe that Obama is a far more sincere person then John McCain and Sarah Palin put together, so I believe him when he says that he was using the term to refer to their policies, and not as a personal attack.

However, just because Senator Obama has been a gentleman and consummate professional at all times, even when he has been under vicious attacks; we as Obama supporters are not going to turn against our candidate for attacking back when under attack.

So to the McCain Campaign, and to the barracuda, pit bull with lipstick, or what ever the hell they are referring to her as today:

Cut the crap!

You have nothing else of substance to stand on for your party, your campaign, or your Vice Presidential Pick. So you continue to try and divert the people’s attention away from your shortcomings, to an assault on Barack Obama’s character.

Check this out.

That shit is only working with the people who have bought into the bullshit that you have been selling.

Those of us, who are true Obama Supporters, because we have been listening to him as opposed to just looking at his skin tone, will not be moved.

So you would be better off making this campaign about the issues and not about personalities, as your campaign management has tried to do.

Stick to the issues at hand, and some of the American People might at least listen to you.

The Republicans Adopt Barack Obama’s Campaign

The-Great-White-Nope

This week we were treated to the spectacular Republican National Convention.

An exciting, titillating, historical convention of biblical proportions full of change, change and more change.

The star of this show, (according to those in attendance), was Sarah Palin, John McCain’s token female, who was snatched from Alaska, where she was a small town mayor, and now Governor, as an attempt to insult the intelligence of hard core Hillary Clinton Supporters in order to win their votes in November.

Apparently John said: “Get me a woman, any woman”, and so he did.

After giving Sarah Palin’s appointment serious consideration, and after talking to several Barack Obama Supporters (of all races), we have made the following observations:

She does not have enough experience.

We don’t know who she is.

We don’t know what she represents.

She is not only associated with a political kook who believes that Alaska should not be a part of the United States, but she is also married to him.

She appears to have all of the characteristics of being a member of a white supremacy/survivalist organization.

And just for the record, since all of the disagreements, criticisms, and questions about Barack Obama’s qualifications were not racist, then we refuse to be called sexist when we have legitimate concerns about her ability to run this nation if the need arises.

And as far as the family being off limits is concerned, just remember Barack Obama’s entire family was constantly under attack, especially Michelle Obama, so with that in mind, we feel that as the 2nd. in command of the conservative, holier then thou Republican Party, an unwed teenager who is pregnant is indeed an issue.

Why?

Because this proves that her outdated views on sex and sex education policies don’t even work in her own home, so why would we want these policies to be implemented for our entire nation.

Her state of Alaska ranks as one of the highest in STD’s, once again, as a result of her antiquated policies on sex and sex education, which involves the theory that if you don’t discuss a problem, then it won’t be a problem.

This is not how things work in the real world.

And we have 8 years of the Republicans to prove this.

Because they have insisted on denying that there are economic problems, energy problems, racial problems, and national security problems with our country, the problems that were once whispering to us, are now screaming out to us.

And last and certainly not least, we were appalled by Palin’s unsubstantiated inaccurate attacks on Obama and the work that he has done to help people who were in dire need of help. We know that (in Palin’s world), the work that community organizers do, and the people that they do it for are insignificant.

We also know that traditionally, the Republican Party has not served the “little people”, in this country who need service the most. And her minimizing the importance of community organizers to try and attack Obama’s qualifications for leadership just shows us that if certain groups, or certain people do not have any financial clout, then they are not considered to be worthy of their respect or their attention.

Community organizers were at the heart of the Civil Rights Movement, and I am sure everyone knows how monumental that movement became in this country. And not only that, if it had not been for some of the organizers in my community who were mentors coaches, counselors, spiritual leaders etc, I, and many other youth who are now grown man, would not be here as witnesses to just how important grassroots, community organizers are to this country.

And she has the unmitigated gall to try and minimize the role of the most famous community organizer in the nation today.

If Palin’s speech was a home run with bases loaded, (as I have heard some Republican Friendly Commentators say), then the game on Wednesday night was truly little league.

In my opinion, the best speech that I heard at the Republican National Convention was John McCain’s.

However, the fact that his speech was the best, is not saying very much, with everything being relative.

The highlights of John McCain’s speech, (as it was with the other speakers that I heard), was the times when they transformed from conservatives, (which is what the Republican Party is all about), no change, into agents of change, which is when they started running Barack Obama’s Campaign.

We repeatedly heard inaccuracies about what Barack Obama stands for, his energy policies, his economic polices, and above all else, his policy of inclusion for all people no matter what their income or their skin color.

Now here’s a question for all Americans who are not blinded by racial, social, or class hatred: When you looked at the audiences that attended the Democratic National Convention, what did you see?

You saw thousands of people from different places, with different backgrounds, incomes, and of different races who wanted the same thing; positive change for our country.

Now here is that same question for the same people who are not blinded by racial, social, or class hatred: What did you see when you looked at the audiences at the Republican National Convention?

Did you see any indication of progress or change?

No what you saw were people who are still living in the old west, slavery times, and in the times when war for America was simple because the playing field in the world was so uneven in favor of the US.

Those days are gone forever, and Barack Obama is very aware of this fact, and his message of change is so effective, and so powerful, that the very people who detest him, (for whatever reason), have had to abandon their original ideology and adopt his.

This is a true indication of the fact that the Democratic Party, led by Barack Obama and Joe Biden is on the right track.

The majority of the convention was about John McCain’s capture and torture, and warm and fuzzy platitudes for their families, friends, children, puppies, etc. All of this is well and good. However, after 4 nights of the RNC, I did not hear anything that answered the question: What are you going to do to make my life, and the life of my fellow Americans better then it is now?

If they were not talking about John McCain’s war story, they were busy using Obama’s principles of leadership as if they were their own, or they were minimizing Obama’s qualifications, and trying to over inflate those of Governor Palin’s.

To make a long boring story shorter, I still do not think that John McCain and Sarah Palin are going to bring about the changes that we need in these dangerous times.

I and many of my fellow Obama supporters, (of all races and income levels), agree that John McCain’s sacrifice for this country is well respected and appreciated, and we will not try to minimize the importance of it.

However, to imply that just because Obama was not shot down, captured, beaten and held as a POW in Vietnam with the scars to prove it, does not automatically qualify John McCain as the best leader for America, and it definitely does not automatically disqualify Barack Obama as the best leader either.

So the only thing that the Republican National Convention was effective at doing was to verify the fact that they are not the answer.

They did not discuss the issues.

They did not discuss solutions to these issues.

They did not discuss unity.

They did not discuss the past 8 years.

And it was funny to see Republicans avoiding conversations about Republicans.

Fear mongering, war mongering, intolerance, denial, and trying to invalidate the most qualified candidate is not the answer to our problems.

Only a leader like Barack Obama who can bring together all kinds of people who want the same things, (that being the improvement of life for all Americans), can accomplish this.

And as one final testament to Barack Obama’s Validity as a viable presidential candidate, the Republicans are now referring to Governor Palin as John McCain’s Barack Obama.

So why should America settle for an imitation when they can have the real deal.

So thanks to the RNC for solidifying our support of Barack Obama and Joe Biden, for the benefit of All Americans.

They Don't Care About You Black Republican

I could not help noticing that there are a few black people in attendance at the Republican National Convention. And I was okay with that until I just happened to see a few making a speech proclaiming John McCain as their president.

First of all, I just want to let you know that this is America, and that as Americans, we all have the right to believe in what we believe in, and to speak freely about those beliefs.

So you made it very clear in your speech to the White People at the convention what you truly believe.

And in keeping with the American tradition of being free to believe and speak what we truly believe, I would just like to take a moment to give you my impression of your presence at this RNC, and the fact that you publicly proclaimed your love for a presidential candidate who is representing the party that set back and made jokes, and talked about how great their wardrobe was, instead of sending help to New Orleans to save the lives of many poor black and white people who drowned because of their indifference and hatred for these poor people, who do not own big businesses like drug companies or oil companies.

My how soon they forget, and I understand them doing that, because this is an election year.

However Brothers! - I can call you brothers cant I? Or do they allow me to call you brother?

Anyway!

I want you to know that it is my honest opinion that those same white people who sit patently through your speeches and cheered you all on when you spoke against Barack Obama, and spoke up for John McCain, are the same white people that, (if you were not a part of this convention, and did not have on a suit), would put your change on the counter instead of putting it in your hand, talk about how they cant stand the smell of you, and others like you, reminisce about the good old days when we knew our place, and when our place was on the plantation, and who would also not want you near them, their homes, their families, or their businesses.

So I am assuming that you must be okay with being a Second -Class citizen, and that you feel safe and at peace when you have their false admiration.

Well let me just tell you this, originally the Republican Party did start with a noble cause in mind just like the health care industry did. However, because of racial hatred, greed, and the conservative tradition of niggers being kept in their place, I want you to know that you are everything that they want you to be, and that your speech last night went over big time in that room. But beyond that room, I bet that there are millions of Black Americans who were disgraced by your very presence at the RNC, and especially the fact that you made a speech talking about your president John McCain.

So you keep the president that is yours and everyone else’s in that room, and the rest of us will vote for the president that is the president for the majority of people in this country no matter their race, creed, social standing, pedigree, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, or who disagree on when life actually starts.

I think that having a president of all of the people of the United States is far more powerful then having a president that caters to the people in that room, and the few who are like those in that room.

My President Is: Barack Obama.

And I say that with just as much, (if not more pride), then you did for John McCain.

Who Is The Next President?

Palin, I Am Not Impressed

Once again, as with most of the speeches that I have been hearing at the Republican National Convention, I was not impressed with the speech by Sarah Palin.

I still did not hear what she would do in a national emergency, or what specific functions she performed in her duties as mayor of a small town, or governor of the state of Alaska that qualifies her to be President of the United States should the need arise.

I heard more examples of warm and fuzzy references to husbands, wives, children, cronies, fellow POW’s, etc, etc, etc, etc.

Now don’t get me wrong. These stories are American stories that need to be told. And, during the DNC, we did see many of these same types of stories. They are part of what makes a political convention a success.

However, in addition to these stories, we also were treated to the stories of successes that we experienced when the Democrats held the presidency in the past, and we also heard several ideas about what they were planning to do, to get us back to where we were, prior to the catastrophes of the last 8 years.

This has been missing from Palin’s speech, as well as the speeches of the other Republican Speakers. And with good reason, there is nothing for them to talk about concerning the past 8 years. And if I had the kind of track record that they have had, I would rather try to belittle the man who is the most qualified candidate for the jot too.

I heard the drill baby drill theme, which has been constant throughout this convention, and then she slipped right into Barack Obama’s energy plan, for which she should be charged with plagiarism. I heard her try to keep the tradition alive of trying to downplay the abilities of Barack Obama to bring together more then one kind of people by the millions, which John McCain and the Republicans cannot do.

So it’s easier for people to make fun of abilities that they do not posses then it is to do the work necessary to obtain those skills.

It is also a mystery to me that if you Republicans had all of the answers, and such a great love for the people of this country, what the hell have you been waiting for.

Why haven’t you put all of these powerful policies, procedures, and methods into play over the past 8 years?

How could you have known all of these wonderful things as Republicans, and let the country go to hell in a hand basket.

So I am going to have to say that I was not impressed by the lady from Alaska, that has become one of the top states in the union as far as STD’s are concerned, and this no doubt from Palin’s insistence on not supporting sex education.

This is what she has done for the state of Alaska.

Is this what we want for our entire nation?

This speech was great for the Republicans, and we all already knew that it would be.

However, for the rest of us who have been exposed to the bitterness and hatred coming from these so-called small towns, that Obama spoke of; we were not impressed by her defense of those towns.

Remember, we lived through these small town experiences for most of our lives.

And as far as saying one thing in one place, and then saying something in another place, which is what she accused Obama of doing, I say to you all that, African Americans should not be African Americans when they are at the convention or in your speeches, and black niggers in your private clubs, showers, golf clubs, board rooms, and your homes.

So this is a bit of political hypocrisy on your part and on the part of your fellow Americans of the Republican Party.

So don’t tell me about using one kind of language in one place, and another type in another.

Oh Yea! About her being proud to be an American always, which was her jab at Michelle Obama’s statement about finally being proud of her country.

The reason that she can say that she has always been proud of her country is because she have always been treated like an American and a human being by her country.

Some of us have not had the privilege, and judging from white America’s response to Barack Obama’s campaign, (especially in those so called small towns), to become the first African American President, we see that this country is still not living up to the true meaning of it’s creed.

So excuse us if we don’t appear to be so dammed patriotic.

It is very hard to love a place that does not treat you like an equal member. If you want to receive love and respect, then you better damm well be willing to give it.

Don’t forget that it was not that long ago when we could not eat in a restaurant, use the public facilities to take care of our natural bodily functions, get a loan at a fair rate, or in many places, vote.

Sarah, I am sure that your Republican Cronies enjoyed your speech; but I was not impressed.


Who Is The Next President?

McCain Shows Propensity Towards Hypocrisy And Stupidity

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I offer you empirical proof once again of the Republican Party’s leaning towards irrational, impractical, dangerous, and ineffective management of this country.

It is one thing to be a so called Maverick because you are willing to break the mold to make something better that needs to be made better. But, to actually put your foot in your mouth, and this country in danger by doing something that you have been harping about someone else doing, since you became the Republican Party’s Nominee, shows once again, that the Republican Party will say and do anything to win this election, and to maintain their power, so that they will be in a position to broker more crooked business deals, conquer the world at the expense of the American People, and continue to cause the lost of many more innocent lives by misdirecting anger, supplies, money, equipment, and manpower, fighting imaginary enemies, while allowing real enemies to literally, get away with murder.

In addition, he thinks that Genuine Hillary Clinton supporters are so stupid, that they will not recognize a futile attempt to replace her with just any white female that he could find.

This man has been highlighting the so-called lack of experience of Barack Obama since he entered into the race to become president. And now, because he needed a shallow, fake ass imitation of Hillary Clinton to use to fool the American People with, he has actually went out and found a woman who is not only inexperienced but who is under investigation for improprieties while in office, as she is charged with using her office to satisfy a personal grudge.

Apparently Governor Palin fired Walt Monegan, her Director of Public Works, for not firing an Alaska State Trooper who was involved in a messy divorce with her sister.

The legislative Council has approved funds totaling $100,000 dollars for this investigation. And of course, Sarah Palin maintains that she has done nothing wrong.

Well! At least she is in the right party. The republicans have been doing wrong and proclaiming their innocence for 8 years now.

Because you have heard, and will hear, and continue to hear, as long as there are idiots who are willing to listen, that everything has been fine under the Bush Administration.



There have been no errors in judgment, no errors in fiscal management, no errors in diplomacy, no errors in heeding the warning of intelligence reports, (911), and no errors in the fact that we sent over 50,000 American Troops to their deaths, and continue to keep them in Iraq, to capture, and or kill a terrorist leader who proudly claimed credit for the attack on the Twin Towers in New York City, and who pretty much belittles and insults the intelligence of the US government at will, whenever he wishes too.

By the way, in spite of all that I mentioned, we are still well respected in the world community, according to The Republican Party. This is another denial of the truth by the Republicans.

And now we have a presidential candidate who is 72 years old with a history of severe medical problems, who just hired a 44 year old female who swore that she would not take the job if asked not even 3 weeks ago, who is under investigation by the state of Alaska, which she is governor of, appears to be a right wing gun freak, (which somehow smells of), white survivalist, which is just the opposite of what they accused Obama of being, a woman who opposes a woman’s right to choose an abortion if she wants one, even if a woman’s uncle or father, or a criminal rapes her, she still does not want woman to have the right to obtain an abortion, she was 2nd. Runner up for Ms. Alaska, which probably meant that there are some nude pictures somewhere that may surface, who used her office and her power to satisfy a personal grudge that she has against her Ex Brother In law, her Public Service Commissioner, and the State Trooper that he refused to fire for her, and now the Republicans are trying to make family values disappear by trying to down play the out of wedlock pregnancy of Governor Palin’s teenage daughter.

Now after many months of attacking Michelle Obama and questioning her patriotism, and attacking Barack Obama on his lack experience, and the American People from their holier then thou Family Values Platform, the Republicans now hope that they will be able to convince the American People that the issues that this new VP candidate brings with her to the political table are not issues of concern at all.

And in spite of the fact that they launched a full attack on Obama’s wife and kids, painting them all as weirdoes, terrorist, and imbeciles, they are now trying to tell us that the family is off limits.

I don’t think so.

It is hypocritical for people to bash other people when it is to their advantage, and then ask the victims of that bashing to make nice when they have similar situations like the ones that they were bashing the others for.

If family values is such an important part of the Conservative Republican’s agenda, then having a woman with an out of wedlock teenage daughter who is pregnant on the ticket, is not a good example of this.

And to show you how good McCain’s judgment is; he knew about the pregnancy in advance of making his choice for his VP Running Mate. As a matter of fact, they deliberately used a baby to cover up the stomach of the teenage daughter during the announcement.

And only said that we are going to tell the truth about it, when the truth came out.

So how long were you going to wait to unveil this little bundle of joy to the American People?

I think that if this story had not leaked, you would have not revealed it.

If you are going to lie about this, what else are you lying about, and what else are you willing to lie about?

Is this what the fools who vote for this ticket are trying to inflict upon the rest of us who know better then to vote for 4 more years of lies.


Are sure that this shows good judgment?

And guess what is really scary?

She will have access to the nuclear codes, and the button, if McCain kicks off.

Let’s hope that her sister never gets married again.

Palin might kill us all to get back at him if the marriage does not work out.

And one more thing that is even scarier then all that I mentioned above, is the fact that John McCain will try and sell himself and this VP to the many fools in this country who for whatever reason, will still not admit to the world and to themselves, that the team of Obama & Biden, is the team that we need to move our country forward.

We need to stop holding on to dumb ass traditions, methodologies, Ideologies, and practices that do not serve us well in this ever changing world, that features new problems, a new economy, new forms of evil, and a new type of warfare.

We also need a team who can recognize and seize new opportunities for a better country, and a better world.

John McCain and Sarah Palin are going to continue to try and convince you to choose their experience and their race over that of Barack Obama, and Joe Biden.


I can tell you one thing, you are right about, we don’t know what Barack Obama is capable of achieving, but we do know for a fact the things that the party that you represent John has not been able to achieve over the past years, and that is unity, peace, strength, and prosperity for our nation.

These failures will convince the clear in mind, and the pure of heart, of the fact that your shallow attempt at hiring another robotic insincere automaton to assist you in your quest for the Whitehouse will not benefit the people of this country. It will just continue to benefit George Bush, and the Republican Party, to continue doing what it has been doing for the last 8 years, and that is to run this country and it’s people into the ground.

We cannot afford 4 or 8 more years of McCain and or Palin, in whatever sequence that it may occur in.

Don’t fall for this political posturing, stand up for the changes (for the better) that we as Americans need.

It is not a matter of being able to do what you have been doing for a long time that does not work.

It is not a matter of the color of a qualified candidate’s skin.

And it is not a matter of Party Politics.

This election is a matter of life and death.

Vote for the right one, not the white one.

Barack Obama & Joe Biden for America.

John McCain! This Songs For You.

Republican Party Proves That It Is An Exclusive Club.

Last night was the 2nd. Day of the RNC, (Republican National Convention), which is actually the 1st. day, because yesterday Laura Bush had to demonstrate how much concern she and the Republican Party has for the very same people that they watched drown during Hurricane Katrina just 3 years ago.

And they have yet to make an honest effort to restore New Orleans, (in the poor neighborhoods), as they promised that they would 3 years ago.

But as usual, the only thing that they have going for them is their ability to fool the uninformed and those who are socially unaware by not mentioning the incidents of the past 8 years, where they have shown that they do not care about certain groups of people.

However, last night’s message was very confusing.

But one extremely clear message did come through to me as a result of my dropping in on the various speeches from time to time.

The first thing I would like for you to notice about the RNC verses the DNC, (Democratic National Convention), is the fact that you will not see very much diversity in the faces of the crowd.

When you looked at the mix of people at the DNC, you saw a large diverse group of people who all were there to hear a common message and to share in the common goal of getting Barack Obama elected as the President of the United States in order to change this country for the better.

But last night, I kept hearing words coming from all of the speaker’s mouths about one America, and they say they are there for all Americans. However, when I scanned the audience on several occasions, all I saw was a sea of white people, and seeing the make up of their audience was like getting into a time machine and traveling back to the 1930’s, 40’s, 50’ and 60’s, which definitely does not indicate change.

And I got the feeling that the few black people that I saw was only there because they were the maids, butlers, and nannies that were threatened with losing their jobs if they did not attend.

Also, I kept hearing this Nazi like message that states that if you don’t agree with them, or if you are not a member of the Republican Party, then you are not putting the country first, and therefore you are not a patriotic citizen.

This is one thing that Barack Obama refuses to do, and the one thing that the Republicans continue to do.

During his impressive speech at the DNC, Obama made it clear that he would speak about the issues, and that he would attack the polices of John McCain and the Republicans that have not and will not address those issues. However, he promised that he would not attack anyone’s patriotism, because he understands that there are patriotic people in the Democratic Party, as well as in the Republican Party.

This is something that the Republicans are failing to acknowledge. And it is a total turn off for many Americans who know that they are not members of this exclusive club.

Now in a country that is known for freedom of speech and thought, this is quite an odd message coming from a group of people who claim to be interested in the benefit of all of the people that they have been charged with serving.

And the other thing that is confusing and also very annoying to me is the fact that people who are supposed to be very competent at what they do appear to be so incompetent when they are trying to validate Sarah Palin’s skimpy qualifications to be Vice President of the United States. And this is particularly disturbing since we have been hearing so much about the lack of experience that our candidate Barack Obama has and how ineffective he would be as President.

This just shows the same lack of judgment that we have been subjected to over the last 8 years that we have experienced from George Bush. John McCain’s choice of this woman as his running mate is just an example of things to come, should America be fooled into voting for the Republicans so that they won’t have to vote for a black guy.

Barack Obama has traveled around the world, and has had just as many people rushing to him to hear his messages as he had here at home in the US. Now that is International Diplomacy Experience. Experience, which John McCain tried to down play as celebrity, because it was something that he knows he will never be able to do.

However, Sarah Palin, has just recently obtained a passport, and I believe that in her position as Mayor in a small town of Alaska, and now the Governor of the State of Alaska, It is clear to anyone that has a mind of their own, that this woman is not qualified to run this country should something happen to John McCain.

However, to hear all of these people try to insult the intelligence of the American People is a definite turn off. The only people who are buying her as a qualified candidate is the people who are trying to make the sale, and those who will agree with anything simply because they are Republicans.

So all in all, I as an African American, and someone who wants postive change, have not seen anything to indicate to me that they are willing or able to bring about that change.

Also disturbing is the fact that we are hearing very little about the issues. Issues on the economy, the war in Iraq, health care, race relations in America, energy conservation, and the preservation of our earth, nor have I heard about proposed implementation of programs to address these issues.

I have not heard anything to this effect.

But this is probably due to the fact that they have made very little progress in these areas over the last 8 years.

However, I have heard many warm and fuzzy speeches about how great a First Lady Laura Bush is, or how great a soldier that John McCain was, and what a great president he will make, and what a great mother Sarah Palin is, and what a great Vice President she will make, and how good of a friend everybody is to everybody else in the Republican Party.

However, my concern is that none of these things addresses the major issues that most Americans are concerned with, which is exactly what the Democratic National Convention did for the majority of the event.

And the other thing about the DNC that was so comfortable for many of us who support Barack Obama, was the fact that we did see so many different types of people who were excited, motivated, and ready for the positive changes that we feel that America is in dire need of.

So it appears that my theory was correct.

The only way to explain away the record of the Republican Party for the last 8 years, the similarities between John McCain and George Bush, the 50,000 dead in Iraq that has not brought Osama Bin Laden to justice yet, and the fact that the Republican Party is still what it has always been, which is an exclusive club for the rich and the powerful, and ignoramuses who are poor, who just don’t understand that this is not the place for them to be.

So I would have to say the score as of today for Political conventions is:
Democrats 4-Republicans 0

Now Who Is The Nest President?

Barack Obama Is A Celebrity, John McCain Has To Hire One

Barack Obama Is A Celebrity, And John McCain Has To Hire Find One.

After releasing a TV commercial accusing Barack Obama of being a mindless, shallow celebrity 4 weeks ago.

John McCain enlist the help of a celebrity to endorse him.

John McCain, (who did not even know that Hispanic people existed before he decided to run for president), has enlisted the help of Big Daddy Yankee to represent his sincerity and love for the Hispanic Community.

http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/bio/index.jsp?pid=497582


Just like he could not answer the question that the reporter asked him about what was the contribution to the Civil Rights Movement that he stated that he had made all of his life, I am almost sure that he has never had a person of Hispanic Origin as a guest in any of his seven houses, and I bet he has never had one sit at any one of his seven kitchen tables to break bread either.

I don’t make mention his seven houses because I begrudge any person in America who gets rich through hard work and creativity, that is absolutely not the case. However, I do find it hard that someone who owns seven homes, can actually related to someone who is losing their only home.

And as far as his new found love for the Hispanic Community is concerned, this is just bullshit political profiling.

Barack Obama had more of an opportunity to assist people of Hispanic Origin from the South Side of Chicago, then John McCain ever had or tried to have until now.

Back in the 70’s, Richard Nixon enlisted the help of our Soul Music Hero, Soul Brother #1: James Brown in an attempt to capture the black vote. In return, he was supposed to do something positive that would help the African American citizens of this country in some vague way. However, we still have not gotten our 40 acres and a mule, slave reparations, or any of the other shit that Nixon probably promised Brown. What we got was fucked, just like Brown did.

So I guess what I am try to say to you is:

There is a chance that whatever McCain promised you, he might be willing to deliver.

However, history does not support that outcome.

Just thought I’d let you know Daddy Yankee.

You are in for a big let down.

A Message To Annie Price Mills

This is for the African American Woman who CNN interviewed the 2nd, night of the DNC, after Hillary Clinton’s very fine speech, who was so emotionally distraught over the fact that Hillary Clinton’s speech was so presidential, and who thought that it was so unfair that she was not chosen by the Democratic Process, by which Barack Obama was chosen.

I think that you were a plant, and that you were placed at the convention by the Racist Right Republicans, to demonstrate to America that in addition to the White Racist Hillary Clinton Supporters, (those who voted for Hillary simply because her skin color was lighter then Barrack’s}, that there were actually some African Americans who felt the same way towards Obama.

I think that you were placed at the convention by the conservative right to try and convince other African American Woman who were Clinton Supporters to turn against Obama.

Now we know that there are a few African Americans in this country who would foolishly vote for John McCain, or not vote at all, because Hillary did not win, However, I think that they are even fewer in number then the White Racist.

However, we still maintain that you were a plant.

In your interview, you made the statement that you could not connect with Barack Obama.

You as a black woman looked pretty stupid saying that you could not connect with or relate to a black man.

Who have you been relating to all of the years of your life?

In addition, I would have to agree with you that Hillary’s speech that night was fantastic.

However, it was one of many speeches, with the majority of them not being presidential at all.

Her behavior during the primary was not only, not, presidential; it was down right immoral and ugly at times.

The negative campaign that she insisted on running against Obama was inexcusable, and probably contributed to the fact that he did become the presumptive nominee.

Sending emails out to persuade people to believe that Obama is a Muslim, and should not be trusted.

Trying to cause his character irreparable damage because of the fact that he knew and worked with people who did not share the holier then thou attitude of the United States, and did not mind making it clear publicly that they did not.

And last and certainly not least, the most despicable campaign tactic of all; her public statement where she publicly wished for the Assassination of her fellow Senator, Barack Obama, just so that she could win the election, at any cost.

This was an outrage to many people, those who were Obama supporters as well as those who were not.

This is just 3 of the many things that Senator Clinton did during the primaries that were not even considered to be playing by the rules; not by Obama supporters, not by the Democratic Party, and not by many of the Americans who were outraged.

And now you are upset because there were more delegates who did not approve of her behaviors, then there was that did.

This is why she is not the nominee heading into the General Election, and Obama is.

And if your zeal for Hillary is based on the Feminist Movement, you should know that the feminist movement was not created by, or for the African American Female, but by and for white woman, who viewed the man from their own race as so arrogant, and ignorant towards them, that they had to start a movement to rebel against them.

You as a black woman should know that black woman’s lives did not get better, until the lives of your black man got better.

And now we have a black man who is trying to make things better, not just for you, but also for all of the people in this country who want this. And you have the audacity to allow yourself to be pimped by the people who could care less the most about black people.

Shame on you Annie,

I hope that you will see the error of your ways before it is too late.

Who Is The Next President Of The US?

Playing The Race Card???

There are a significant number of white people in this country who speak about the racism that we as black Americans are supposed to be guilty of.

However, I consider this the kettle calling the pot black.

How can the creator of a problem, turn things around to the point where the victims become the accused.

They seem to be looking in the mirror when they are talking about our sins, and despising what they see.

What they see is the hatred and disrespect that they unleashed on the black people of this country, who they brought here as slaves, and continued to dehumanize decades after slavery was legally abolished, and as quiet as it is kept; many of us still experience being treated different then other people of other races, in many business and social situations.

They seem to forget the laws of physics when they are trying to turn the tables by condemning us for the despicable things that they have, and are still guilty of.

You know like, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, and the law of cause and effect, for every cause, there is an effect.

They seem to forget the causes for these attitudes on the part of the black people in this country, which causes them to try and transfer the hatred and loathing that they imposed upon us, on us.

All of a sudden, the victims of the hatred and dehumanization become the perpetrators of the hatred. Oh my how the tables do turn!

They forget all of the background information, and the events that led to these negative feelings, (or they would like to).

Some white people say, “Stop playing the victim!” “ Get over it”. “Slavery is over”.

Yes slavery is over; but racism is not.

Further more, it is not up to you to tell the victims of a crime, how they should or should not feel, or how long they should feel it, as a result.

I often hear this these types of statements about black people who had to endure the pain and suffering of slavery then, and racism, discrimination, and exclusion now

However, I rarely hear society telling the Jews, that they should just forget the pain and suffering that their people experienced during the Holocaust. Why is it that white society wants us to forget what was done to us, and to overlook what is still being done to us, and then move on.

Do you not know that atrocities such as slavery or the Holocaust, affects these people for generations and generations to come.

The damage that was done to the black race is apparent.

Anyway!

A recent example of this foolishness is the accusation from the McCain campaign that Barack Obama is playing the race card because of his recent commercial where he points out the fact that he is unlike any president in history, and that he does not look like any of the presidents that you currently find on our U.S. currency.

These are of course historical facts, and have been the basis for many of the attacks that Obama has experienced during the race to the White House since the beginning: “He has a funny name that sounds like Osama”. “He’s an African American and therefore unqualified to be president of the United States of America”. “He looks like a terrorist”. “Why do you think they call it the “White House”?” And the list goes on and on.

So what Obama did, was point out what in reality are facts, and what in reality are points of view that have been used to discredit him as a viable presidential candidate.

And as a result of this, the McCain Campaign has now accused him of playing the race card.

Of all people in America, a white “Conservative”, “Maverick”, “Republican”, is accusing a black man of racism.

John McCain proclaimed to reporters when he made this accusation against Obama, that he has spent most of his life supporting civil rights. However, when confronted by a reporter who asked him what he had actually done to support civil rights, he searched in vain for an answer.

Hmm! I wonder why he could not give an account of all of his civil rights support activities.

Now this term, “Playing The Race Card” has been prevalent in our society every since Johnny Cochran’s defense of O.J. Simpson, and it is now viewed as a very negative thing for black people to do.

However, the fact of the matter is, once again, that there is something that has occurred and that continues to occur in this country that makes playing the race card necessary at times.

Playing the race card is not an attack mechanism, but a defense mechanism, like so many of the devices that the black race has adopted to insure it’s survival, after centuries of dehumanization and abuse.

Now how in the hell is Obama playing the race card by stating the same facts that many white Americans have been stating every since he decided to run for president?

This is another example of white people trying to imply that black people are over reacting to imaginary racial attacks that have never ever occurred, or that are not occurring presently in this country on a daily basis. And everyone black or white, who is aware of this countries racial climate, knows that this is just not the case.

I am also tired of hearing this bull-shit about anyone who does not vote for Obama, or agree with his policies is classified as racist by his black supporters, “and that’s not fair”.

“ We don’t know who he is or what he is about”. Solution:

READ!

The people, who say that they do not know who he is, or what he is about, are just using this as an excuse.

Why?

Because there are too many white people faced with this very important decision that will have long term effects on our country as a whole, who will not even make an effort to hear what he has to say, read what he has written, or read what has been written about him.



Why?

It is because their decision not to investigate, consider, or vote for Barack Obama, goes no deeper than his skin.

However, let it be known that, when a man or woman chooses a mate for the wrong reasons, they will surely run into trouble with that decision in the future. So it will be with this all-important decision for our country. The stakes are high, and choosing wrong, either way, may have dyer consequences. Those who choose a president, or not choose a president for the wrong reasons, will have to live with the consequences of their choice.

A decision that carries as much gravity with it as the one that we have to make on November 4, 2008, should be investigated thoroughly, and should not be made based on surface judgments, (a candidates skin color).

I personally know that there are some honest White Americans who just do not believe that he is the best man for the job, and it is not about his race. However, let’s be honest.

Of all of the white people who think that he is not the right man for the job, how many of them did not need to look any further then his skin to make this determination?

Based on the racial climate in this country, which has improved, but that is far from being perfected, as some would have you believe, I venture to say that the first scenario is the exception, and that the second one is the rule.

So to make it clear to the people who say this shit; I say to you, that there is more evidence to support the fact that their reasons for rejecting Obama is most likely due to racism, then there is to support the view point that it is not.

This is based on U.S. History, past, present, and probably future, if we do not all work together to destroy the artificial human barrier, known as racism.

So the next time you hear about a black person playing the race card, remember the laws of physics; for each action, there is an opposite and equal reaction, and the law of cause and effect; for every cause, there is an effect.


What I am simply saying is, reverse discrimination is a by product of discrimination, and could not exist without it’s predecessor. Racism practiced by many in the black community, is a reaction to the racism that has been practiced against us for hundreds of years, and yes! Even to this day. And as far as playing the race card is concerned; there would be no reason to play the race card, if the deck had not already been stacked against us in the first damm place.

Vote for Barack Obama in the November General Election, not because he is black, but because of the very limited choices that we have, he is the best candidate from the party who does not have a negative 8-year track record for tearing this country down.
