The youth culture is already driven by gh/etto music and gh/etto values. Just look at the clothing young people wear today (baggy jeans, backwards hats, high-top sneeakers) and the music they listen to (which has a thumping be/at once heard only on safari). And the se/xual ethics of our youth are also degenerati­­ng to the level of the ghetto.

Is there any way to stop the trend? No politician of any major party is going to speak out on these themes (although the one who does would do quite well). But there is a way to save yoru own children. Every home should be dedicated to Western standards of religion, music, values, education, dress, and manners.

This is what happens when you stand up for what’s right, they come at you from all directions but what makes this so bad is the fact that so many of the people who support them are the very people whom they kick to the curb. If you are not one of the very top you can kiss their collective ass’s, they will come up with these fake leaders who tell you all you want to hear, but like OZ people look behind the curtain pay attention to what is going on around you. I’m just saying.

Well here we go, we elect the first person of color and it's back to the good old days of segregation once again.

I have to laugh at the fact that these people lie like no tomorrow, and how no one checks for the facts but what is even more absurd is a great deal of America cares not for the truth just the sound bite.

I was going to say something else but i just finished a video call with my son in Afghanistan and I'm just a little upset. The thing that has me so pissed is the fact that you look at this information below and think about who fights for this country, and for the most part those on the bottom, middle class on down to the poorest of us, and when I say middle class I'm not 250k a year I'm talking real middle class and as you look at the disparity in the charts you really begin to just get sick of it all.

Some people can’t handle the truth

What’s sad is the fact that people will make up their own facts and lie through their teeth over and over to push that lie, but what gets me is the fact that numbers don’t lie. The truth is out there but most people are to and lazy to seek it out or are just in that comfort zone and don’t care until it affects them personally but by then it’s too late. I’m just saying.

I am getting so tired of the BS

I am getting so tired of the BS, this country was not founded on any religion but yet that’s all you hear.  The founding fathers are rolling in their graves right now listing to these nut jobs, they who would impose their beliefs upon others but who would be the first too cry foul if you reciprocated. To hear these bigots cry out how they want their country back guess what it’s my country as well, I served it, those in my family before me served it and now my youngest son is serving this country, my grandfathers , uncles, my cousins and my friends so know this it’s not just your country it’s OUR country. I’m just saying.

The Treaty of Tripoli Article 11, it states:  "As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Musselmen; and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."

Rep. Walsh: Obama Was Only Elected Because He’s An ‘Articulate’ ‘Black Man’


In an interview this week with Slate’s Dave Weigel, Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) confirmed his reputation as a lightning rod for controversy and for being, as Weigel puts it, “the biggest media hound in the freshman class.” In the past week, Walsh has made a number of outrageous statements, most infamously his admonishment that American Jews “aren’t as pro-Israel as they should be.”

But even that seems to pale in comparison to what Walsh tells Weigel — that Barack Obama would not have been elected president if he wasn’t black. Walsh dismisses Obama’s meteoric rise as essentially a form of affirmative action and a manifestation of “white guilt” in which the media was complicit:

“Why was he elected? Again, it comes back to who he was. He was black, he was historic. And there’s nothing racist about this. It is what it is. If he had been a dynamic, white, state senator elected to Congress he wouldn’t have gotten in the game this fast. This is what made him different. That, combined with the fact that your profession”—another friendly tap of the bumper sticker—”not you, but your profession, was just absolutely compliant. They made up their minds early that they were in love with him. They were in love with him because they thought he was a good liberal guy and they were in love with him because he pushed that magical button: a black man who was articulate, liberal, the whole white guilt, all of that.”

Weigel notes that in the six months since he took office, Walsh has made more TV appearances than any other freshman in the House. He’s become a favorite of cable bookers, who can count on him as “a handsome freshman who will say anything.” This latest outburst certainly won’t do anything to dispel that perception

Sometimes if you have a little patience you be surprised at what could happen, to all of the people who said do not loan the car companies one red cent I say HA. Where are the jobs, well despite the republicans they are starting to roll in slowly but steady .

I really need not speak too this, sometimes you would think that people would just get over the dumb shit  President Bush dropped the ball he looked left instead of right. I'm not saying the old administration did not do anything it's just what they did was wrong, they never followed though and I firmly believe that was due impart to those around the President at the time with a little too much influence, I'm just saying.

My Baby Girl's Post-


When my father writes this blog, as is the norm, the issue of the day is something far-reaching, something that ripples through the American political landscape and possibly, out into the world. Today, I am writing about a national issue that has suddenly struck rather close to home; in particular, has struck me.


A little background may help. We are a black family, and I am a daughter in my last year of university. When I graduate I will have my bachelor’s degree in physics, and may even be the first person of my kind to graduate from my university with that degree. I discuss politics with my parents and friends regularly, as do all of my siblings, and while the mainstream media is just now starting to get the point it became clear to us long ago that the birther issue is one of delegitimization. It is nothing new to us; it is something that black people, African-Americans of every position, social standing, and income level, face continually. I would venture to say that every educated black youth in America knows they will have to work harder to achieve than a white youth with the same credentials, simply because the lingering sentiment that we are ‘less than’.


It is a sad notion, close to 150 years after the Civil War, but one that I was, until this week, prepared to live under. Then I saw this clip from The Last Word, in which a biographer of the President reminds us that this attitude, this certainty that the blacks in this country have neither the mental fortitude nor the linguistic capacity to be equals with whites, is one that has pervaded our society from the time of its very founding. With the publication of the autobiography of one Frederick Douglass, considered now to be a genius, a white man had to write an introduction letter assuring the reader that yes, this man was black. Yes, he has written this book.


Almost two centuries later, the same tactics are in use. Yes, Obama was actually born here. Yes, he did write those autobiographies. Yes, he did get in to a lily-white Ivy League school. Yes, he was a magnificent student – or, at least good enough to become the president of the Harvard Law Review. Whether you agree with his policies or not or some-of-the-time the fact stands that Barack Obama is one of the great legal minds of his generation. It is only the color of his skin that prevents these birthers, these race-baiters, accepting his hard-earned accomplishments.


It is an idea that struck me terribly, and I am not ashamed to admit that I cried thinking of it, as my father and I looked on. Near two hundred YEARS after my ancestors were freed from slavery, I am still, in the eyes of many, ‘less-than’. The idea that someone as brilliant as our President can be treated this way severely damages my hopes for a future in this country; if the president of the HLR is being struck this way, what hope do I have?


My father saw me crying, and I believe it hurt him. He took the time to remind me that yes, I will have to work harder – much harder – to be considered equal in whatever field I choose, but that that is not the end-all and be-all of the conversation. With the same dedication to my craft as the Obamas have shown theirs, I can be anything I choose in the Land of the Free. That doesn't mean I won't meet people like these birthers, these bigots - only that, as ever, someone has paved the way for me, so that I may achieve in this country. That is the strength of our people, those of us that can be called African Americans. No matter how much is put in our way, we can always achieve.

Will we as a country ever get past this, when will we become what this country was meant to be?  Why is it that the President seems to be the only adult in the room? and yet I see this house Negros like Allen West and  Michael Steele, and let's not forget Amy Holmes who help perpetrate this bull. Don't get me wrong there are issues within the democratic party as well but how can any self respecting person or color ever stand with these idiots, I'm just saying.

Papers please, this is so sad it's like driving through a white neighborhood in a nice car and being a person of color you will be stopped and you will be asked for your papers. There are times when I am walking through a department store and I know that I'm being followed so I walk all over the place and then you turn really quick and watch the reaction of the person following you, what's really sad is I happened to be in a store one day and they were so busy following me that they never saw the group of white teens stealing them blind. But hey I'm just saying.

Once again the people are being pushed in a direction that is totally against there best interest, but no one is really covering this. How many people do you know really understand just what is going on in this country? How many even care?  Here is a plan that needs to be made public , discussed in the open, so get out there and spread the word, write your representatives and push the President. Like the President said when he was running, it starts from the bottom up and trust me we are the bottom, stand up. I’m just saying

But I have black friends, I’m just saying

Well I guess it's time to take it back to the home front, once again our governor is showing his true colors.  The man is a jerk and I doubt he would get up in peoples faces and speak to them in the manner that he does if it were not for his position, and the man has no respect for anyone other than those who bankroll him. I'm just saying

For those who did not manage to see the President's speech the other day I thought I would post it up for you. I hate to hear second hand what was said, I don't want to be told what someone else thinks he said and I truly beleave I have some modicum of understanding of the English language, therefore I would rather see and hear for myself, I'm just saying.

There’s a lot too be said about the Presidents speech yesterday, and I hope people paid attention too what was said. I will say this if the only reactions from democrats are the old bitching decrying how all he will do is cave and capitulate, well get off your collective ass’s and get behind the man. I would get dam tired of putting my ass on the line for you when you wont, no refuse too stand, up give me a break. I'm just saying

There are no words for what I saw in this video, someone who has this much influence on so many should be held to a higher standard.   Too be a senator how can you stand there and tell a bold face lie and then turn around and state well it wasn't meant to be factual, how can this be.

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

The sad thing about this is the fact that the President seems to be the only adult in the room, he's constantly trying to hammer out the best deal  possible for the American people but most of the people who would be devastated by this cuts support them, and the killer is they refuse to take the time to just look things up for themselves.   The people on the left cry he goes too far to strike a deal and on the right not far enough, to tell the truth I would have told the republicans too kmbba a while ago but chances are nothing would get done afterwards but hey I don't have to make those choices. I'm just saying     

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Whets really sad about this is that if these people get there what the American dream will be gone forever, they talk about driving down the deficit but they refuse to touch the billions of dollars that are being given to big oil not to mention the tax breaks for big business so that they will create more jobs here. Do people realize that the tax breaks that are given to these corporations come from their tax dollars ? so if that's the case why not help the people, small businesses and so on, don't think that small businesses are being helped by these people although they keep talking the talk none are walking the walk, how much more can We the People stand.
I'm just saying

Well when everyone started complaining about how the President was cutting Medicare they didn't pay attention to the fact that the only thing that was being done was taking the funds from the middle men ( the insurance companies ) and putting the moneys back into the system so that more people could be helped. What I don't hear are the stations going crazy over how the republicans are planning to kill Medicare, where is everyone now? I'm just saying.

This is some of the most important congressional testimony you will never hear about, and that is truly sad. I was talking to a lady I see often and we talk about what’s going on and so on but yesterday I was dumbfounded as she started talking about how it’s the President’s fault for the price of gas along with, wait for it ( pause for effect ) where’s his birth certificate. Well all I could do was smile and wave as I pulled off, but I felt bad that this is a nice person and from what I can see someone who really cares were we are headed but yet as uninformed as a lot are, I’m just saying.

I’m sorry but you can’t make this shit up, job numbers are slowly growing in the private sector yet people act as if nothing is changing as if this President is not on the JOB and with willful ignorance they cry out show your birth certificate. I’m sorry but what really gets me is when I see a person of color at these stupid ass tea party so called rallies it just leaves me amazed at the fact they don’t even realize that they are just props, people wake the f*$k up.

I spent most of my summers in Kentucky growing up, that was my mothers birth place and I truly enjoyed those times. I worked hard during my summers there sometimes on farms and sometimes working for my uncle painting houses, drywall even wall papering and trust me back then that was some hard work. I grew too look at certain things about life differently as I would head back to Cleveland and the inner city once again, but little did I know how devastatingly ignorant people could be there as to elect an idiot such as Rand Paul to the senate, I’m just saying

I love it when I see Hitler’s mustache on the President when these knuckleheads parade around shouting the Nazis are talking over, or he’s a socialist or whatever name they have for that given day. But I truly wonder do these people really have a clue what is happening right before there eyes? I think not because if they did the conversation would be a lot different than it is now, but then again some people are so blinded by their hate and fear that they would allow just about anything too stop this President in his tracks even to the point of hurting themselves in the process, I’m just saying.

If you listen to the GOP governors it’s all about the Benjamin’s which would be a bold face lie, but what concerns me most is the fact of how so many who will be affected in a negative way cheer these guys on.

Fox and friends supported the lies and there are even people I work with who trout these lies as truth and refuse too look at the evidence that is about to send this ass wipe too jail. The thing about this is the fact that this is New Jersey and I’ve seen these people out and about with their signs and spewing hate, but what gets me is the fact that for the most part the bulk of these people are struggling just like me. I try to see this for what it is but I just don’t get it, is it a color thing with most of these people?
