The republican politicians, strategist, and media pundits really have a low opinion of their supporters common sense, intellect, and ability to grasp the reality of what their eyes see, and what their ears hear. The republicans believe that their supporters are so brainwashed that they will support them no matter the reality. If republicans tell their repubbots followers to follow us, supporters fall in single file and wait for the comet.
The republican nominees for the presidency and vice presidency McCain and Palin, or Calin McPal. The couple now says they are the past to the repasted future. They say they are the original mavericks, they are going to Gallup in to D.C and change government. They are the reformers the nation has been waiting for. Yep, the new future to the old past. McCain and cohorts think their supporters are so dumb, and so big "R" republican that they will follow them to he gates of hell, and throw themselves into the lake of fire.
The republicans now say they are going to get rid of deregulations, they are going to be the regulators on companies that they (republicans) let run amok under the GOP's leadership. The new republicans are going stop the very earmarks that their congress people now request, they are going to do oversight. They are going to now look out for the good of common people. Sure the are, I'm sure they will give them a thumbs up as their supporters security gets much less secure.
The republicans and John McCain now care about sexism. Can you believe it, the republicans who have voted against every bill in congress that supported women. Equal pay, equal health care, both in research and treatment. Child care, On and on, Yet now the are the caretakers of anti sexism in our country. Fact is, every single thing that the right sees as helpful to we the people, they are against, class warfare the yell.
Every election cycle the dumb people who follow the right fall for this crap. These people get banged up, beat down and dogged out. Yet, time after time they vote republican because these candidates are like them. "you identify with me", so please make my life and my family lives more of a hardship than you did four years ago. "It's ok if my kids can't get their teeth fix, cause the republican POTUS vetoes the new chips program. They hunt and skin their kill, just like me. The republican politicians and voters that vote in office, the extreme dysfunctional family.

Bull Moose In High Heels
Wow! What a speech, she's a pick, she gave it to the Obamas good. Sarah hit all the right highs. And sank in the swamp of lows. The she moose that wears lipstick.
I was somewhat wrong, I thought she was brought in simply to attract Hillary's women. No double duty, she's here for the women, minor. She's here to challenge the Americanism of the Obamas, major. Just listen at her speech, it was filled with jabs at the Obamas blood ties to her America, and hers alike, this is our country, we just let you live here, ours!
Those were some dumb but small things the Obamas said during the primary season, and of course everybody knows that they love it here in the USA, what citizens in their placement in our society wouldn't love the land assured their success.
Palin mocked the Obamas viciously with a smile on her cute face. She even went after the very hard and honorable service of community organizing. The republicans found their woman. They love her. The force. The anti-Obama(s). She's always been proud of her country. She loves religion, she would never accuse small town low income whites of being bitter, gun clinging rubes, who only have the republican party to protect them from the evil doers on the wrong side of the civil rights debate, or using their religion to make themselves feel superior over others that come from a different backgrounds than theirs'. After all these rubes are the chosen people.
When this election is over and we have a new POTUS the Obamas will be just fine, no money concerns, no health care concerns, their kids will get the best of the best education. They will be able to live in any community in this country they choose. The Palins will be just fine, her family will have all the same non worries as the Obamas. The McCains will be more than fine. But what about all the small town folks just scarping out a living, people that vote republican because they perceive republicans to fill their need to feel superior. These peoples egos will be fed. But their bellies might be empty.
Sarah gave nothing in way of polices, she spent much more time talking indirectly about Michelle than she did talking directly about her own public service record. Michelle is not the candidate. Palin spent more time trying to scare the media off investigating her public service record, than she did telling all those clingy people in rural America what she and her President are going to do to keep them away from the welfare line they say they hate. I think they scared CNN, they were chastising themselves for questioning her after her acceptance speech. Yes she'll do her thing well. She will use her womanhood as a naturing mother, who is too female for Joe Biden to put her in her place in their VP debate.
The people bowing at Queen Sarah's knees just remember, after she has ran out of insults, she's being using the same ones since she used at the convention, word for word, after hardcore conservative crowds have stop cheering, after the newborn star has stopped twinkling. And that 300ft movie screen has been sent back to imax theater. You have to ask yourselves is my family going to be better off with these people in charge still.
By the way to McCain/Palin/Giuliani speech writers community organizing is a very patriotic service. These are the people in the trenches trying to better communities like the ones you are targeting for votes. They are the ones who go out and try to get school swings replaced so your children wont fall hurt themselves or worse. They are the ones who go out and try to get new investors to invest in your community so that you maybe won't have to work at kfc, to replace the high paying job you had in factory that closed or replaced you for cheaper labor.

They Say It, So It's Wrong
Wow! What a great speech Barack gave accepting our party's nomination for President. The media naysayers said it would be difficult for him to meet the expectations they set for him, gees, do they feel stupid. Home run, triple play. He met his expectations, and ours the people, as he always has, and I think always will. Barack benefited from the nonsense pimps in the media over analyzing his convention and his acceptance speech.
The thing that confuses some of us is why do certain media people keep setting themselves up to appear to be so dumb. Dumb and stupid. Every since Barack announced his run for the Presidency, the word pimps have gotten everything about him, and us wrong. They said he could never raise the money to compete, yet he raised more money than any Presidential candidate in history. And used the people donations very wisely. They said he was not black enough for blacks to vote for him. He has 98% black support. They said was to black for whites to vote for him. He has more whites voting for him than any previous democratic nominee. They said he couldn't stand up to the Clinton name recognition, fundraising, and organization power. He not stood up to the Clintons, he surpassed them. They said his convention would be commandeered by Bill and Hill, well he showed on Thursday night that he was in total charge. They said it couldn't be done. That Barack would never be our nominee, he did it. HAHA! They say it, so it's wrong.
They have never gotten anything right about him, because they can't get past their own preconceptions about how things are supposed to be in this country. They want to shape what people are thinking. So much so, that they can't see the forest for the trees. The feel they should be able to tell us what to think, and who to vote for, and to believe in. When will they learn, they can't shape opinion as to the phenomenon that is Barack Hussein Obama. As we blacks have come to expect from the establishment, low expectations. Keep underestimating us, keep underestimating President Barrack Obama.

Uterus Don't Make Dumb
So he picked a woman. The republican presidential nominee must have a pretty low opinion of women. The man thinks women are so dumb that we will fall for this sorry political stunt he pulled by choosing Alaska's Governor Sarah Paltin as his President in waiting. Obvious to everyone he's making a play for Hillary's disappointed women supporters. That's fair, but come on Sen. McCain, Gov Paltin. The woman is a total opposite of Hillary, everything she believes in, and everything she's been fighting to gain, for the past three decades. Every issue.
Gov. Paltin is a gun toting, strong anti-abortion, no equal pay for women, down with universal health care, creationast, who supported Pat Buchanan for President in 2000 election. Pat Buchanan, her support of him alone is enough to scare me far away from this republican odd duo of Patlin and McCain, even before I knew one thing about her political track record. Of course I'm one of the many women who never supported Hillary from the start. Every since Barack enter the race last Febuary It's been all Barack, all the time, all the way for me. Before Barack, Edwards was the candidate that I supported.
The millions of women who did support Sen. Clinton should be very offended by Sen. McCain very obvious weak attempt to sway them to cross over and vote for him and his running mate. McCain thinks these women are so angry and turned off by Hillary losing the nomination, that they will support any woman he throws at them. No matter the woman's political beliefs. I know the women who supported Hillary so passionately are too intelligent to fall for such a simple con job. My one year old niece could came up with a better more thoughtful plan than this tired scam McCain is trying to snow us with.
This has nothing to do with this Governor's qualifications. I don't know if she is qualified or not. The country will learn her competence in due time. My beef here is that John McCain thinks women are so naive and emotional that we would be duped at his whim. That once he added a woman as his running mate, the sisterhood of the uterus will lead us to blindly vote in kind. Forget the issues or qualifications, Wow she's a woman, mark the box for her, she's one of us gang. What ego, and what nerve of McCain.
John McCain chose Paltin out of pure short sighted, tunnel vision, and blind ambition. The Presidency of the United States, by any means necessary that he can get away with. Thing is, he can't get away with this. Besides that woman who called Obama "an inadequate black man", he's not playing anyone. And believe me when I tell you, if McCain doesn't have that woman on his side by now, he's in big trouble.

Keith Olbermann=Pure Genius
Careful thinker, master of the game, pure genius. What else to say to describe Keith Olbermann. The man is a national treasure. He holds nothing back, he simply tells it like it is. He truly holds truth to power. Keith is the reason to own a t. v. set (I stole that one from him). I am just awed by the man. His show, Countdown on MSNBC is the best thing to happen to that network, or to cable news. He is by far, is the reason for the sharp rise in the network's rating.
In a medium dominated by right wing jaw jackers, Keith is most certainly a cool breeze on a hot muggy day. Yes, he is to the left of left, and proud of it (so am I). That's a good thing. He came on the scene right on time. He is what a person like myself has needed for a very long time. He offers liberals something they have not had for long while in public conversation. A Spine. He speaks his mind, he calls the power brokers out on their wrongs. Whether the highest powered government officials, such as President Bush and Vice President Cheney. Or self absorbed opinionated blow hearts, such as Fox News's Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity.
His special comments are the bomb. His worst persons are targeted just right. I particularly liked his special comment on Hillary Clinton invoking Bobby Kennedy's assassination in June 1968 to justify her continuing her campaign for the Dem nomination. Classic Keith at his best. Very well informed, very precise in his delivery, and clearly upset at what Clintion had said. He didn't hold back his indignation on her stupidity. "Because a senator - a politician - a person - who can let hang in mid-air the prospect that she might just be sticking around in part, just in case the other guy gets shot - has no business being, and no capacity to be, the President of the United States." Darkly brilliant coldlboolded truth.
I loved it when he called out his favorite punching bag, Bill O'Reilly. On O'Reilly the phone sex hassling of Andrea Mackris, and the nasty things Billo said to that young woman over the phone lines. The millions paid out for her not taking O'Reilly to court. Especially after Billo was so rough on Bill Clinton for his taking advantage of star struck Monica., Keith gave the orally jerk exactly what he deserved. Utter contempt, for the harassment, and for the hypocrisy.
Keith calls out liberals for screw ups as well. When Barack Obama voted yes on the FISA bill, Keith didn't spare any of his famous venom in the tongue lashing he gave Obama for the vote. When John Edwards put his own self interest above that of the democratic party, and continued his bid to become the democratic nominee for Presiden, knowing full well that if he won the nomination, and when his adulterous love affair got exposed it would almost certain mean the democrats would lose the presidency. On this Keith showed Edwards no mercy.
Yes, Keith is very much a partisan, he is also honest in his beliefs. He doesn't suck up to his side, or unfairly conger up bad things to make the other side appear worse than it is. I guess my only problem with "the master" is that he some time use words that I'm hearing for the first time from him. I get irked because this sends me to the dictionary. Small inconvenience for such wisdom.
Bravo to MSNBC for having the courage to bring people of similar views this independent gem. To the bosses at the network, please do whatever it takes to keep him the air. He is just man we need. In that he is man.

They All Deserve The Holiday
I'm probably going to get myself into trouble with this one, but here goes. Why is the national holiday representing the struggle for the civil rights devoted entirely to one man, Martin L. King Jr. The Revolution of the Movement was much more than Dr. King. There are millions of others who deserve recognition for what they did for civil rights, and for what was done to them because of civil rights, for all they endured to ensure that minorities enjoy the same treatment and freedom whites have always had in this country. People who put the actual lives on the line to make sure that the lives of minorities hold the same worth as the lives of the majority.
There should be a national holiday that celebrates the entirety of the peoples struggle. The day Feb. 15, should be celebrated as Dr. King's birthday. His family, friends, and anybody else who sees fit to honor him on the day of his birth should do so. The movement however, started decades before Dr. King was the public face it presented. Many many years before Dr King's powerful voice rang out against the inhuman injustices natives and others minorities suffered at the hands of majority. Millions, tens of millions gave their all to the struggle. They are part of the dream too. Dr. King got into the movement in 1955, when Rosa Parks didn't get up. He played a fantastic role, his voice spoke to the wrongs of all the generations of people that suffered under white supremacy. But, I think even if Dr King hadn't came on the scene, the peoples Movement would have prevailed.
As we now know Dr King was a great, and flawed man. He had one night stands, used foul language, made crude jokes about others blacks, smoked and drank. He lived pretty much as most people do, he enjoyed life. He was like many of the men who supposedly founded this country. Men who wrote all glossy words of freedom and equality, yet lived live completely opposite of the words they put to paper. Like the Preachers today who tell us to house the homelees, fed the hungry, give medical help to the sick, and above all don't commit sins of the flesh. Preachers who live as lavishly as Saddam Hussein lived his life, and have the morals of alley cats. These men of the cloth have sexual affairs with women and men.
All the humans beings who help along the way with Civil Rights deserve the same lifestyle Dr. Kings children enjoy. Yet today Dr Kings family and cohorts are the only people benefiting financially from the people's struggle. His family now sells his most famous speeches to push stuff in t.v. advertising. His children have grown up very privileged. It seems his children are willing to share his words, and his dream only to profit themselves. Without the Movement the country wouldn't have known Dr. King existed.
Before the Civil Rights Bill was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson, blacks in the United States lived under Communist rule, minus the socialism. Everything you have heard about the brutality Communism casually bestowed upon it's citizens, is paralleled in the treatment of black by all whites, not just the government in our country. For the 100 years following the end of Civil War in 1865, to the passage of Civil Rights Bill in 1964 the government sold millions of blacks (mostly men and boys, some women and girls) to forced labor camps owned and operated by corporate America. Some of these workers were literally worked to death. Certain people got tired of this America, and said no. Blacks, whites, and all others who said no all have a legacy. They all deserve the Holiday.

Republicans, Face Change, Same Game
They're Back! Only now they want us to believe they are different. John McCain is the republicans nominee for POTUS. He says he's a different kind of republican, McCain says he won't run a campaign based on negativity and sleaze. He says that he will run a issue based campaign. He says he won't be a Bush clone, yea right. The republicans have no issues to run on, so do the only thing they know to do to win. They spread to sleaze. Only this time around they are off their game.
In the 2004 election the media aided RoveBush in the sleaze game against John Kerry. Anyone with half a brain knew that the swift boat liars for Bush were telling bald face lies about Kerry's Vietnam service. Yet the media reported these lies as if they the gospel truth. Chris Matthews pratically made the swift boat liars his co-hosts.
John McCain himself was a victim of the sleaze game in the 2000 primary. I guess he saw how good it worked against him in South Carolina, so now in 2008 he'll used it against Obama. Only he's nowhere as good at it as the master, RoveBush. And maybe, just maybe, certain white Americans are smarter this this time around. But don't count on it. These certain whites only see and hear what their small minds let them see and hear.
During the primaries I actually gave some thought to voting for McCain, if Billasea had won our party's nomination. Thank God they didn't win. If they had I would have probably had sit the election out, knowing what I now about McCain. He has become what he up until this POTUS election year said he hated, a man who will do and say whatever it takes to win. No matter how sleazy his actions are. I wonder how low he's going to go.
As I said before if the Clintons had won the primary I would have, once anyway, voted for McCain. I would have voted republican so that McCain would have had one more vote to defeat the Clintons. Not anymore. It's the same old game, only the face has changed.

Stop It! You Idiots
I write this post with a heavy heart. Being child of the civil rights movement I have take a a real critical look at the black youth today, and wonder if this is what we the people who marched for, got beaten down streets by law enforcement for, had the skin stripped from our bodies with powerful fire hoses for, had our bodies chewed up by big police dogs for, endured being treated less than zero for, and was killed for. So many were killed. We gained our rights through much brutality. We gained our rights through pure human tenacity. We knew what we up against, and we went up against all the odds, and we prevailed.
On November 25, 2006 Shawn Bell was gunned down by NYC police officers while leaving his bachelor party. Most of the so call black leaders in this country were all up in arms over Shawn's senseless murder, and rightfully so. That same day there were over 50 other young blacks murdered by other young blacks in this country. Yet, not a word of protest about these senseless murders from these same so-called leaders. Why not? My opinion is that black on black murders don't carry the same potential financial benefit for these leading men as police killings do, or blacks killed by whites in general carry. I know Sharpton and Jackson are the biggest racial ambulance chasers we have in this country.
The young thugs that roam our streets these days kill more backs in a year than than the kkk killed all during the worst years of the civil rights movement. These black terrorist killed so matter of factually, and with such ease that law abiding blacks have to wonder if these haters are trying to wipe out their own race in the country.
A majority of these baby face killers can barely read, they speak in broken sentences, and know math above at preschool level. Not because they can't learn, but because they don't want to learn anything except how to be a thug. They can and learn, they learn how to use foul language. They learn how to make crack cocaine out of powder cocaine(most could be chemist if they tried). They learn how to change money in drug transactions so fast it rivals calculators. They learn how to make babies to be raised singles mother and supported by the system. They learn how aim guns and shoot so precisely that master surgeons are perplexed. They learn how to contribute nothing meaningful to society(exceptions being the fatherless children they create). They learn how to adapt in the criminal justice system, and they learn how to die young, and violently, not bravely, but in the throes of fear. Yes they are able to learn, they only want to learn in the negative.
One would think with the high rate of black on black crime in this country that our self appointed black leaders would be much more concerned about this phenomenon than they would be about the random murders of our black youth by law enforcement. One would think the leaders would be in the community shouting from rooftops to stop the violence. After all it's not law enforcement or civilian whites destroying or communities, it's our own youth. Yet all these leaders do is make excuses for the thugs. There are no excuses.
Blacks are the third largest majority in this country. Black are the number one victims of murder in our country. Blacks are number one perpetrators of murders in our country. Blacks are 12% of population, we are 49% of murder victims. 94% of black murder victims in this is country are killed by other blacks. Pitiful statistics of blacks inhumanity to each other.
To the "leaders" in the community these are the victims that should really speak to your concern of senseless brutality. Law enforcement abuse against anyone has no place in our world, but compared to abuse we inflict on ourselves, authority abuse is a rarity.
To you self appointed community leaders you have to stop blaming everyone for your failure to lead, and try find someway to make your sorry asses useful. To the people who're mainly causing all the sorrow in the community, the black criminals who seems interested only in destroying their own race, the ones who complains the loudest when some people avoid meeting them on a lonely street, just please; Stop it, You idiots.

The Supreme Court
I never thought about the high court much. I know that I benefited from many of its ruling. Being a child of the 1960s(born 1955) there was the Civil Rights Movement, and the court's rulings for the Movement that rightfully gave equal rights, justice and dignity to black Americans, like myself. These basic human rights were earned through patriotism, much blood, sweat, and many tears of millions of many people. However, civil rights did not come from the goodness and fairness of the court. These rights were forced on the Court by the of the power of the Movement.
The court has proven to be, over its many years, a place of little political courage. Most Supreme Court rulings have been to appease the majority, not equality for the minority. Of course from the time of the Court's inception many of it's Justices held the same superior views as the majority. Views that these same justices ruled into law.
Over the years, The Supreme Court, to say the least, has made many controversial rulings. And some not so good rulings. The Supreme of late have been making some rulings, to my thinking anyway, that don't jive with the makeup of a right leaning court. To my most pleasant surprise.
The recent ruling to end the executions of persons that committed capital crimes before the age of 18. This ruling commuted the sentences of hundreds of prisoners from death to life in prison. The Court's decision not execute the mentally ill, the decision to grant habeas corpus to detainees at Gitmo and, the most recent ruling not to make child rape a capital offense.
The rape of child is horrible. The pervert might spare the child's life, if he or she knows not killing the child will also spare his or her sick life. Also since most cowards that rape kids are usually related to their victims, child victims will have a heavy load on their shoulders, knowing that their testimony might mean the death penalty for the sorry rapist.
Though most of these rulings were five to four decisions, in the high court made of nine, five is the majority. As we blacks have been brow beaten with forever, MAJORITY RULES. Hopefully the next POTUS will appoint Justices with political and moral courage. Justice that are NOT in the majority.

Barack Won, Hillary Lost, The Right Can Get Over It
First of all, I want to give my very sincere thanks to Barack Obama. I want to thank him for putting together a fantastic campaign team. I want to thank him for being practical, and using his hard working supporters donations very wisely. I want to thank him for not taking the advice of the pundits who demanded he go negative on Senator Clinton. I want to thank Barack for winning the nomination his way. He took the Clintons down by keeping his standards and head high. But most of all, I want to thank Barack for saving us from Clinton 2XL for the next four to eight years.
So now the right can just get over it. The best man won, and the rights's woman lost. The right can lick their wounds and prepare to welcome Barcak as Commander And Chief. Barack is going to be POTUS. He played the game by the rules, and won it fair and square. He didn't ask for, or need the pundits advice to play the first half of the game, and he won't ask for, or need their advice to bring home the winning score.
But cheer up, all you right wingers, after November's election while the rest of us will be focusing on getting the Country's heart and soul back after sixteen years. Getting the nation back on the right track for it's citizens after eight years of Bush. Getting back our country's respect around the world. Getting out of that bloody Iraq war. Taking care of the warriors when they come home, and many other important issues to numerous to list here. You right wing pundits can keep trying, day after day, to convince your flock(no else one will pay any attention to your jaw jacking gibberish) that Barack is a lousy POTUS. After all that's what you do best, lie!
So, Pat Buchanan, Joe Scarborough, Tucker Carlson, Juan Williams, most everyone at Fox News, and all the other nay saying haters out there, you tried your best, and you failed. Now you can fix yourself a stiff drink. Take your calming pills. Put a damp cloth over your forehead, and stretch out on your couch. It's going to be a very long eight years for you.
By the way, you right wing pundits are always telling us how disappointed and angry Hillary's older white women supporters are that she lost the primary. Well, there are a few older and younger white women who have had the pleasure of Bill's company, who probably won't feel to bad that Billary won't be in their faces everyday as POTUS. Ask Kathleen, Monica, or any of the others how they feel about it.
