Political Thoughts

Old Glory

This past week was an interesting week in the world of politics. On Tuesday the President addressed the nations kids on the importance of self-responsibility and setting education goals. On Wednesday he addressed the House of Representatives on the proposed Health Care bill, which in its self is a contentious battle to say the least.

Tuesday saw the President address the kids of Wakefield High School in Arlington Va. President Obama has spoke on the importance of education many times and has made it a priority of his administration.

“. None of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities. Unless you show up to those schools; pay attention to those teachers; listen to your parents, grandparents and other adults; and put in the hard work it takes to succeed.”

“And that’s what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education. I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself.”

“I’m calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education – and to do everything you can to meet them”

These are just a few excerpts from the speech, I suggest you read it or better yet, watch it with your children. It’s a motivating and inspiring speech on education. Makes me want to go back to school.

Now I don’t know about you but I certainly did not hear any ”Socialist” propaganda and if the right thinks self-responsibility and erudition is socialism, well where do I sign up?

Wednesday saw the President at the House of Representatives, where he talked about the proposed Health Care plan his administration is trying to enact. As usual, the right cannot contain their anger and against all decorum South Carolina Representative Joe Wilson screamed out “You Lie” while pointing to the President. The Sergeant-at-Arms should of tossed him out of the chamber right there .The rights continued insistence that illegal immigrants will receive benefits, which mind you is nowhere in the bill, is nothing more than a play on the citizens whose xenophobia directs their politics.

Douchebag

Wilson is a member of the Sons of  Confederate Veterans, who promote secession and claim slavery was benign?  He also was one of those who attacked Essie Mae Washington-Williams, Strom Thurmond’s biracial love child he kept secret his whole life. First Wilson attacked her credibility and when Thurmond’s family acknowledged the truth he said that she still should have kept quiet and not harm his legacy. We can’t have an avowed racists reputation ruined by his love for the darker berry.

The President accepted Wilson’s half-hearted apology, which is my problem with Obama. He far too often tries to appease everyone. I wish he would go on the offensive more often. Repudiate their drivel and ram it back down their throats. But I’ll save that rant for another day.

The rights proclivity to attack and besmirch everything the President is trying to do is getting old real fast. Their constant attempts to paint him in a bad light, from questioning his birthplace to using their code words is exhausting. The attempts to label him with “dirty tags”, which are designed to infuriate the public against him, give me a headache. As they like to tell people to leave if they don’t like it, I challenge them to do the same.

This weeks DoucheBag of the week award

This is why I have a problem with organized “Religion”. This clown spews this caustic sh*t in the name of God and prays, yes prays, every night for President Obama to get brain cancer and die like Ted Kennedy. This same Pastor Douchebag was allegedly tasered by Border Patrol Agents not to long ago. Look it up. He claims for no reason, but I think he is an extremist who looks for his 15 minutes by agitating others into reacting. Sort of what I’m doing here but with words instead of threats. Shame on me for responding to this guy but it deserves some kind of mention.

Now we know where that other Douchebag gets his information propaganda.

This is America and you’re entitled to your opinion so I don’t feel that he should be censored. What I say is ,if you are such a bad ass and want to say these things then realize there are people who are in disagreement with you and they might react in a way you did not consider.

This man is one of those “tough” guys, who when confronted suddenly lose their courage and want to debate you, in a nice way though.

To bring up an old saying- ” Don’t let your mouth write a check your ass can’t cash”.
