Please Show Your Support for Senator Reid

The Republicans and other racist’s entities are trying to use a statement that was made by Nevada, Democratic, Senator Reid, comparing it to a statement that was made several years ago by Trent Lott.
Here is what Senator Reid Said in a yet to be released book entitled:”Game Change”, Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid of Nevada, described in private then-Sen. Barack Obama as "light skinned" and "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." Obama is the nation's first African-American president.
Now analyze this statement in conjunction with the following historical data:
The unsuccessful attempt by Frederick Douglass to win the presidency in 1860 against Abe Lincoln. (Too Dark Skinned, notable proponent of freeing the slaves).
The Unsuccessful attempt by The Reverend Jessie Jackson to win the presidency in 1984 and in 1988. (Too Dark Skinned Obviously Afro centric, notable for preaching progressive rhetoric for African American Causes).
The unsuccessful attempt to win the presidency in 1995 by Alan Keyes, (A Rigid Religious Catholic Conservative Republican), who ran on these values, which the Republican Conservatives live and breathe by).Too Dark Skinned to win.
The unsuccessful attempt by The Reverend Al Sharpton to win the presidency in 2004. . (Too Dark Skinned, Too Dedicated to African American Causes).
The successful election of the first African American President, Senator, Barack Hussein Obama.
Light Skinned, Caucasian Mother, Law Professor who speaks like a law professor and not a social activist. Avoids discussions of race whenever and wherever possible. Does not speak the language of the ghetto as a rule, but can do so on demand.
Now let’s examine Trent Lott’s Statement of December 10, 2002.
"I want to say this about my state: When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We're proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years, either,"
Lott, R-Mississippi, made the comment on Capitol Hill during a 100th birthday celebration for Thurmond, who is retired in 2002 after nearly 48 years in the Senate. The comment was broadcast live on C-SPAN.
Thurmond ran as the presidential nominee of the breakaway Dixiecrat Party in the 1948 presidential race against Democrat Harry Truman and Republican Thomas Dewey. He carried Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and his home state of South Carolina, of which he was governor at the time.
During the campaign, he said, "All the laws of Washington and all the bayonets of the Army cannot force the Negro into our homes, our schools, our churches."
Thurmond's party ran under a platform that declared in part, "We stand for the segregation of the races and the racial integrity of each race."
Thurmond eventually moved away from his segregationist position and went on to the longest career in Senate history. He retired as a Republican representing South Carolina.
One of these statements is a statement of fact; the one that Senator Harry Reid made in support of President Obama.
A dark skinned African American who spoke like a “Black Man”, (although I have yet to know what speaking black means), but I think according to “White America”, and many in “Black America”,, it means not having proper command of the English Language and its execution, then the 2008 Presidential Election would most likely not have ended in the successful election of the First African American President in history.
Trent Lott’s Statement was a statement of support for the hateful racist and segregationist practices, (including lynching), inflicted upon African Americans, (I’m sorry, coloreds), in the deep south in which he was implying that if the rest of the country had voted for Strong Thurman for president, then we “Blacks”, would have been kept in our place, (which was on the plantation in servitude to them).
This is a big difference.
Do I think that Harry Reid should resign for telling the truth? Hell No!
Do I think that Trent Lott should have resigned after his statements? Hell Yea!
I love those who love me and hate those who hate me, and I am not ashamed of that fact.
However, the majority of politicians in this country, (rather they be Democrats, Republicans, or other), play this game of politics by capitalizing on the mistakes made by humans of the opposite party.
And just like the situation that we have now, it never really addresses the real issues and the real solutions to the problems that create the problems in the first place.
So I am just asking all who don’t have at the heart of their intent, political sabotage, or racism as a motive, to please ignore this sudden love that the Republican Party, with all of their all white this and all white that, has realized that it has for the minorities of this country,( including African Americans).
Here’s the real deal:
This is just another orchestrated attempt by the Republicans to make something out of nothing against a man who is already under attack by the people of his own state of Nevada, where President Obama received 47 to 53% of the vote, depending upon which poll you review.
The same man who just happens to be the most effective Senate Leader for “Healthcare Reform” in history.
These Republicans did not care about African American Sensitivities last year, last month, last week, nor will they ever, at the rate that they are going.
So please! Do not fall for these attempts by the republicans to protect the payoffs that they are receiving from the “Health Insurance industry”, The Healthcare Industry”, The Pharmaceutical Industry, or the Dialysis Industry.
Harry Reid continues to support Civil Rights, Healthcare Reform, and President Obama.
Every year over 40,000 people die as a result of not having healthcare insurance.
We must remember that racism has always been and is still a reality in America, and will probably remain that way for a long time to come, if not forever.
However, we must nail Healthcare Reform, and reelect President Obama in 2012, in spite of this fact, just like we did in 2008.
Freedom, Justice and Equality for all, must become a reality in the United States of America, if it is going to grow and prosper as a nation of people, United!
And Michael Steel, you and others like you who cow tow to the racist on FOX, are not even considered to be “Black”, by the people’s opinion of this matters most, “Black People”. So what you say as it relates to us, has no meaning or value to us as people.
But it won’t be long, I told you that those who you defended with your life against Barrack Obama in 2008, were going to turn on you.
Here they come Michael!

Thank You Meghan McCain

I would like to take a moment to do something that I don’t normally do.

And the reason that I don’t normally do this is because there is usually no reason for me, or any other forward thinking humanitarian who cares about all of the people in this country and on this planet to do so.

However, I think that gratitude and respect should be given to Meghan McCain, (A Republican), who is currently under vicious attacks from the Right Wing Political Extremist in this country, (namely Racist Idiot, Laura Ingraham) for just making sense.

It is very telling when you see that anyone who is a member of the Republican Party who speaks out against divisiveness, exclusiveness, blind extremism, and who speaks for love, respect and consideration of other people who may not be just like you, or who may have a more open and broader point of view of the world as opposed to the limited staunch robotic point of view which is shared by 99.9% of the Republican Base, brings forth these types of vicious attacks that are now being launched against Meghan McCain, simply because she is speaking the truth.

The attacks against Ms. McCain have been brought on simply because she has made the true observation that extremism on any side of the political spectrum (Right or Left), can be very dangerous to the health, happiness and safety of all Americans, and that the people who are responsible for encouraging the idiots who feast on this type of hatred should be trying to tone it down a little and move to a more moderate position that would allow for a more open dialogue between people of differing points of view.

This will also minimize the risk of violence on a national scale.

She is simply promoting behavior that will create a better country for the majority of our citizens as opposed to what the republicans have been trying to create for 35 years, which is a separate society that caters only to the rich and the powerful, the poor whites who wish they were, (with a very few ignorant blacks with identity crises thrown in), and the foreigners who are new to this country and want so much to be a part of what they think is “Mainstream America”.

This all began when Meghan McCain accurately pointed out the dangerous and idiotic social stands taken by Ann Coulter, and the people who follow her.

This is a woman who lives within herself, in a world where only what she is and who she is can be allowed.

She along with people like Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, Bill O’Reilly, and House Nigger Juan Williams, think that people who do not share their beliefs, (political, religious, social or otherwise), should not be allowed to take up space on this earth.

Of course this is bullshit!

But that is what these types of people are all about. And most of them can be found wearing the following labels: “Conservative”, “Republican”, “Right Wing”, or “Evangelical”.

You see it is all about them and what benefits their little separate country within a country.

It is not about what benefits the rich, poor and middle class. It is about worshiping and imposing the laws of the land on everyone else to keep them from achieving success, but ignoring this devotion to these same laws when they allow them to benefit and profit.

Hypocrisy!

This is not what this country was meant to be, and we know for a fact that it is not, because it is recorded in all of this nation’s precious documents that it is not.

It is supposed to be all about opportunity and equality for all who are willing to do the work, and make the sacrifices necessary to succeed.

And now with the election of Barack Obama as President, the country is moving at a rapid pace towards what it was originally meant to be.

This has outraged many of the people that I mentioned above, and also those who follow them.

And this is why the Republicans are eating their own when one of them tries to take the Republican Party in a new direction from where it is right now, and where it is heading into the future, which is nowhere.

Meghan McCain, and some of the other Progressive Republicans, (including Michael Steel who is about to be crucified), realize that a party that operates on the premise that they are the chosen few, will only have the support and funding from a chosen few, and the disgust of many.

These Progressive Republicans also know that if the Republican Party is to compete and survive, then they must change all of the things that have not been working for them.

But Laura Ingraham, Ann Coulter, and other political commentators like them, and those who blindly follow them, are people that you can look at and see the hatred and racism on their faces, and you can hear it in their voices with every word that they speak, even when they are trying to disguise racism as something else like “Conservatism” and “Patriotism”, it stills exhibits the strong rancid odor of hatred and racism.

As a child of the 60’s I know the potential danger of these kinds of attitudes and actions towards people who are supposed to be your fellow countryman.

So for Meghan McCain to be able to recognize the potential harm to this country at her young age, as a result of all of the immoral, illegal, untruthful, and destructive behaviors exhibited by the Republicans over the last 35 years, and especially the last 8, is quite an accomplishment considering the fact that she has been exposed to this faulty logic, and corruption all of her life as a member of a republican family.

So I applaud Meghan McCain for having the guts to stand up to a very small and powerful group of idiots who would rather see the country destroyed by a white man, rather then to see a black president succeed.

That takes guts.

And to Laura Ingraham, it is too bad that you still have nothing as far as a plan, a platform, a message, or anything to contribute to our society that would make this Country a better place to live for all Americans, not just for the few of you.

Instead, you want to talk about Meghan McCain’s weight as opposed to speaking about all of the potential dangers that we as Americans are currently facing because of people like you, and the people like you who were put in place by a small group of powerful people in order to benefit a small group of powerful people.

And all of you political geniuses are wondering why the Republican Party is falling apart at the seams, and becoming just a hilarious national joke.

It is because when someone who is on your team like a Meghan McCain, a Michael Steel, or a Colin Powell proposes something new, different and refreshing that would benefit more people, thereby making the party more attractive to more people, which would probably help increase it’s membership; you all try and exile them.

Guess what?

That is where the Republican Party is right now; exiled!

And as a lifetime Democrat, I couldn’t be happier.

However, as a practical, sensible human being, I really don’t care about a person’s race, creed, color, sexual orientation, religion, or political party, as long as they are respectful of me as a human being, and are actively trying to make this country and this planet a better place to live for as many people as possible.

And based on your brave stance for common sense in spite of the fact that you are surrounded by a bunch of egotistical, selfish and hateful idiots, I truly believe that you are such a person.

So I truly want to thank you Meghan for presenting your new progressive non partisan ideas to the Republican Base because you know that those ideas will benefit not only republicans, but will benefit our entire country as a whole.

But watch your back; because you are surrounded by ignorance, fear, hatred, racism, and a group of people that obviously have learning disabilities, who cannot or will not change.

G.R.C.
