“Next stop….Scaryville USA…All Offboard”

While I have been writing my book I have stayed away from writing any new posts regarding todays politics. I thought I would sit back and just see if the hatred for Obama being voted in as President would eventually just kind of fade away and politicians for the most part would begin to move toward doing the right things for their constituents. NOT!
It’s still very apparent that the hatred of equality, racism and indiffence still seem to have a place in power. I see myself as middle of the pack intelligent. I have my issues with doing the right things in my own life. However, my actions affect myself, my friends and my family. I am not in a place of so much power that my daily ignorances can affect the lifes of so many. Ladies and gentlemen this is where our elected officials are the most important. We expect and hope that they will allow our best interests to drive their opinions and effforts. This is the basis of voting someone into office. Our elected officials are now for the most part what I believe is what is holding this Country back. I know that my idea will not be widely embraced, but I believe that we should have another round of elected officials. Those without party distinctions, but common sense. It is apparent that there will be no accord between Republican and Democratic Politicians. Partisan objectives show no sign of slowing down and that is apparently never going to stop. If a Black President can’t be enough motivation for politicians to come together then they never will. It is now up to us citizens to just accept that and move on with another branch of Government. We can call them ‘DemoRubs’. Sorry Independents just sounds too weak for me. As DemoRubs what we would be called on to do is to actually evaluate matters of importance and change in this Country and spread those actual facts to the American people. That doesn’t mean that I would gather a bunch of brothers in an auditorium and say, “man we need reparations’, just as I wouldn’t expect a room to be gathered to say that we need to break off from the rest of the Country because there is a scary Black man in the White House. It’s a two way street. We cannot allow the wheels of evolution and progress in this Country to be decided by white men between the ages of 55 to 75 years old. I wouldn’t expect a group of black men between the ages of 55-75 would be a basket of fairness either. That’s is just not common sense. No offense mind you. I’m not a racist at all. However, men that have had the majority of their adult lives with the reality of most other races being below them can’t be expected to see things completely equally. How can they? When I was a kid, if you went into any of the barber shops that my dad took me to, believe me, you wouldn’t expect those guys to be very partial if they were in a position to control votes and speak for so many. They wouldn’t be fair minded about it. Even if they didn’t want to admit it. Human nature is exactly that. Human. That doesn’t make it right, however, it does make it so. I’m not in anyway implying that people over the age of 55 are all racists regardless if they are black or white. I am saying that it may be inherently harder for them to change. I mean, without the help of many white people, slavery would never have ended. Civil rights would never have been passed and lastly, Obama would never have been elected. However, politics just like everything else in this World, needs to evolve as well. I propose that people of all races and ages above 21 should throw their names in the hat for a seperate form of elections. Call it a kind of watchdog group or civilian oversight group. People would have to still be vetted. However, lobbyist and Corporate entities cannot be a part of the process. I think we can get a lot more done if that were the case. At the very minimum, it would cut down on the amount of mis-information and rebel rousing. To those naysayers that would believe that it would be too hard to get that implemented. WHAT ELSE IS BEING IMPLEMENTED RIGHT NOW OUTSIDE OF SEPERATION AND HATRED?
Let me know what you think America.
NOTE: For all you radical conservatives out there who will look at this without thought process, let me help you out.
I definitely drink too much. I probably smoke too much weed. I can be a little self centered at times. However, I’m a great son, friend, brother and father. I am also the LAST person you want to have a public debate with. Think about that before adding an ignorant comment or response. Add a contact website or email address so that my response can’t be hidden for lack of bullshit.
Friends?

Politicians..maybe Crackpots…definitely!

Oh what a tangled web we weave, when we practice being complete frickin lunatics.

Ok, let me be clear.( Ala Obama) Each party has it’s share of nutjobs, I guess there’s no real getting around that point. However, the democrats generally get defined by Obamas calm, collect and gentle nature. The republicans are starting, and deservedly so, to be defined by crackpots who are dishing out unsubstantiated claims abound without even the slightest use of any proof. I’m not a politician, however, for example, if I wanted to criticize a white President, the last thing I’m gonna do is have a bunch of young black men shouting out claims that they can’t backup. That would just make it seem very disengenuine. I mean, honestly, who would take them seriously right? Many would question their motives. They would say, “Yo! Leroy, can you back any of that up, or are you just angry because this is a white President that you didn’t vote on and you are just a little bitter? Do you see where I’m going with this yet?

Ok, let’s just scratch that example and take a look at some recent occurings.

You have Orly Taitz insisting that the President was born in Kenya: (Not true)

Sarah Palin insisting that the President wants to hold “death panels” to determine which old people are to be cut from health care and put to death via some sort of euthansia. (Not True)

Georgia Rep Paul Broun equating the Presidents plans with “Nazi” policies. (WTF & Not True)

Ohio Rep Jean Schmidt calling John Murth a coward and telling “birthers” that she agrees with them but the courts don’t. (WTF)

Then you have SC Rep Joe Wilson yelling out “you lie” during Obamas Wednesday night speech to Congress regarding coverage for illegal aliens when even the Pulitzer Prize winning, non-partisan fact checking website ‘Politifact.com’ stated that he was clearly wrong. (Not True)

Oh, and here’s something that I can’t understand. When have the Republicans been opposed to competition in the marketplace? Are we to just trust the insurance companies? Like we trusted the big banks….

I was asked a question at work the other day.  A co-worker asked me if I agreed with President Obama just because he was black. I said no. However, I thought about it more and more last night and I guess I have to actually change that answer. I don’t agree with him solely because he is black, but with all the recent blatant, underlying racist type of accusations sprung up by some members of the republican party and their radical conservative followers I find myself feeling more of an us against them type of feeling. I mean what’s next, some singing & dancing watermelon and chicken attacks? I mean, he’s Kenyan, he’s nazi, he’s anti american, he wants to kill grandma, he’s lying and oh, “the piece de resistance” he’s black….

I’m sure I may have even forgotten some of the complaints because they have just worn out because of lack of food.

But hey, as usual, that’s just my opinion, I could be wrong.
