Politics

Warning: You may or may not agree with me in politics. If you don't want to read this or don't agree, it's OK, just skip this posting! I believe everyone has the right to believe as they want. I'm not trying to force mine on you, I just gotta express my feelings too! Also, this is a bit lengthy

I don't normally post about politics. I learn a lot from Candace. She and I share similar/same views on the issues. She researches her stuff and she knows what she's talking about. While reading one of her posts, I read a comment that included an email the commenter got. Very interesting. Go here to read it from the source. The columnist is Ken Blackwell of the New York Sun


A little humor:
Hillary and Obama were in a boat going down the river.
The river was extremely rough. The boat capsized.
Who was saved?



America!


and an email my sister sent me:

I don't think being a minority makes

You a victim of anything except

Numbers.. The only things I can think

Of that are truly discriminatory are

Things like the United Negro College

Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment

Television, and Miss Black America.

Try to have things like the United

Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine,

White Entertainment Television, or Miss

White America; and see what happens...

Jesse Jackson will be knocking down

Your door.

Guns do not make you a killer. I think

Killing makes you a killer. You can kill

Someone with a baseball bat or a car,

But no one is trying to ban you from

Driving to the ball game.

I believe they are called the Boy Scouts

For a reason, which is why there are no

Girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl

Scouts!

ARE YOU LISTENING MARTHA BURKE?

I think that if you feel homosexuality

Is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an

Opinion.

I have the right 'NOT' to be tolerant

Of others because they are different,

Weird, or tick me off.

When 70% of the people who get

Arrested are black, in cities where

70% of the population is black, that

Is not racial profiling; it is the Law

Of Probability.

I believe that if you are selling me a

Milkshake, a pack of cigarettes, a

Newspaper or a hotel room, you must

Do it in English! As a matter of fact,

If you want to be an American citizen,

You should have to speak English!

My father and grandfather didn't die

In vain so you can leave the countries

You were born in to come over and

Disrespect ours.

I think the police should have every

Right to shoot you if you threaten them

After they tell you to stop. If you can't

Understand the word 'freeze' or 'stop'

In English, see the above lines.

I don't think just because you were not

Born in this country, you are qualified

For any special loan programs, government

Sponsored bank loans or tax breaks,

Etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee

Shop, trinket store, or any other business.

We did not go to the aid of certain

Foreign countries and risk our lives in

Wars to defend their freedoms, so that

Decades later they could come over

Here and tell us our constitution is a

Living document; and open to their

Interpretations.

I don't hate the rich, I don't pity the

Poor.

I know pro wrestling is fake, but so

Are movies and television. That doesn't

Stop you from watching them.

I think Bill Gates has every right to keep

Every penny he made and continue to

Make more. If it ticks you off, go and

Invent the next operating system that's

Better, and put your name on the building.

It doesn't take a whole village to raise a

Child right, but it does take a parent to

Stand up to the kid; and smack their

little behinds when necessary, and say

'NO!'

I think tattoos and piercing are fine if

You want them, but please don't pretend

They are a political statement. And,

Please, stay home until that new lip ring

Heals. I don't want to look at your ugly

Infected mouth as you serve me French

Fries!

I am sick of 'Political Correctness.' I

Know a lot of black people, and not a

Single one of them was born in Africa;

So how can they be 'African-Americans'?

Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't

Go around saying I am a European-American

Because my great, great, great, great,

Great, great grandfather was from Europe.

I am proud to be from America and nowhere

Else

And if you don't like my point of view, tough...

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE

TO THE FLAG, OF THE

UNITED STATES OF

AMERICA , AND TO THE

REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH

IT STANDS, ONE NATION

UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE,

WITH LIBERTY AND

JUSTICE FOR ALL!
