All the pundits, from those who are actually knowledgeable to the complete fools and outright bigots came out the day after the President’s State of the Union speech.
Hopefully it’s not just me who see exactly what’s going on with our President. We have the far right-wing Republicans who would hate any Democrat President; they just hate him more because he’s Black. We have the so called moderate Republicans and the Blue Dog Democrats, subliminally camouflaging their racism. Last but not least, we have the Democratic Black Caucus sitting on the side-lines complaining about how the President haven’t done enough for the Black community; while they haven’t done enough to support the President. Just imagine how the Obama haters would use any act with even the speck of the President doing something special for the Black community. Instead of the Democratic Black Caucus complaining, they need to pass some bills to correct the wrongs in their inner city districts that every White President failed to do before we were blessed with a knowledgeable Black President.
I’m sick and tired of children of a lesser GOD complaining about everything, but refuse to offer any solutions. I for one am not surprised that our younger generation lag behind other industrial countries in Math and Science; what would one expect when the people who are calling the shots have the mentality of someone who sit on the TV and watch the sofa.
I created this blog to share real issues of today with critical thinkers. No subject is off-limits, as long as the subject matter touches our everyday lives in a real life way. Please be respectful to the views of others when commenting, and when replying to comments. By JD Dixon

Calling on the President to Create Jobs
I find it amazing how just a few months ago, every morning talk show, Sunday talk shows, and teabaggers were yelling at the top of their lungs for government to stay out of the business of doing anything in regards of private business other than cutting taxes for the super rich. They all acknowledge when the government gets involved with private businesses, other than cutting taxes for the super rich; it’s always all bad.
Now all of a sudden, the people mentioned above seems to have had some kind of epiphany in regards to the government getting involved with private business to create jobs. These people are the phoniest people in the world, including the so called Blue Dog Democrats (I consider them as Yellow Dogs) masquerading as Democrats.
Please allow me to explain just how phony these people are. In regards to the Health Care Bill, Senator Ben Nelson (D) Nebraska was 100% against the Health Care Bill until he received a sweetheart deal for his state for Medicaid; which has been branded the “Cornhusker Kickback”. Senator Mary Landrieu (D) Louisiana was totally against the Health Care Bill because of the high cost until she received a sweetheart deal to the tune of $300 million in additional federal aid for her state's Medicaid population; dubbed as the “Louisiana Purchase”. The list of Democrat Senators goes on and on in regards to sweetheart deals for their vote in favor of the Health Care Bill.
The true irony of this is that it sounds like former President Bush proclaiming he had a coalition of the willing in regards to the countries signing on with the invasion of Iraq. In fact, each country was paid a hefty fee to go along with Bush to invade Iraq; I don’t remember anyone branding them as the “Coalition of the Bribed”.
A parting thought about the citizens of America. In my opinion the citizens of America should be branded as a nation of cowards. The vast majority of Americans don’t even give a second thought about the brave men and women going on three and four tours to war zones such as Iraq and Afghanistan. Oh yeah! They’ll tie ribbons around a tree and boast about how much they support the war and the troops, but ask any of them to join the military and really show their support for the troops and the war, they’ll tell you “HELL NO” without pausing to contemplate the question. These are the same cowards who expect the first Black President to fix everything in one year that a White President took eight years to fuck-up.

Massachusetts Senate Race
For all of you thinking the outcome of a Republican winning the seat of the late Senator Teddy Kennedy in Massachusetts was some kind of referendum against President Obama, are one hundred percent wrong. I don’t believe true Democrats voted for a Republican, they just didn’t vote.
Democrats are angry about the way Congressional and Senate Democrats allowed themselves to be bullied and outright ran over by Republicans in regards to the Health Care Bill, even though Democrats controlled both Houses and the Presidency. I, and many more Democrats had already said, if the Health Care Bill doesn’t include a public option, we will not be voting for any incumbent Democrat. If there are no Democrats challenging a Democrat incumbent, we will just stay home and won’t vote.
It’s amazing to me how the Democrats just caved in to the Republicans, masquerading as Blue Dog Democrats and Conservative Democrats. Why is it that there are no Red Dog Republicans or Liberal Republicans? The final conclusion to all of this is that we voted in gutless Democrats, the same thing will not happen in the 2010 election.
Democrats are angry about the sweetheart deal delivered to Senator Mary Landrieu (D) Louisiana. Senator Landrieu was steadfast against the Health Care bill because of the public option until she was bribed with a $100 Million deal for the state of Louisiana. Where is the integrity, I’m against the public option, but for $100 Million, I can be persuaded? It’s a dam shame Senator Landrieu didn’t see the need to fight for a bribery deal after hurricane Katrina.
Democrats are angry about the sweetheart deal delivered to Senator Ben Nelson (D) Nebraska in regards to the Federal Government paying 100% of the cost of Medicaid in Nebraska, while other states will pay 2.2 percent of the price to expand the program to millions of uninsured Americans. Senator Nelson is essentially saying, I’m against the bill with the public option and the abortion language in it, but I can be bribed. There is no integrity with these people; they’re just a bunch of puppets dangling from a string selling America out for the all mighty dollar.
I’m in search of anyone who can explain to me how that’s different from when former President Bush proclaimed he had the coalition of the willing with him leading up to the invasion of Iraq. Every country who participated in the invasion got Billions for their country from America; therefore it was bribery.

WHY?
Why is it Republicans and the right wing want President Obama’s efforts to the devastation of the earthquake in Haiti, to be worst than President Bush efforts to the citizens of New Orleans after hurricane Katrina?
Why is it Republicans and the right wing are disappointed that the Christmas Day Bomber terrorist attack failed?
Why is it Republicans and the right wing are happy that the Fort Hood terrorist attack occurred on President Obama’s watch?
Why is it Republicans and the right wing are praying that America’s efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq go all bad, now that President Obama is President?
Why is it Republicans and the right wing are ignorant to the fact that 9/11 happened on former President Bush watch?
Why is it only the people at Fox News doesn't know that Sarah Palin is one of the dumbest persons' on earth?
Why is it that Televangelist Pat Robertson believe that Black people in Haiti revolting for their liberty have to make a pact with the devil; but don't believe White people masquerading as Christians who bombed churches with little Black girls attending Sunday School doesn't have a pact with the devil.
Why is it that the Teabaggers are so outraged about big government and the deficit now that we have a Black President; but the silence was deafening when George Bush came into office with a government surplus and ran the economy into the worst economic collapse since the Great Depression?
Why is it Republicans and the right wing believe that all Muslims and Arab people are terrorists; but don't believe Tim McVeigh and the KKK are terrorists?
I could go on and on in regards to the twisted and sick minds of these people, the sad truth to the answers to the questions above are simple. When you have people receiving a daily dose of sick and twisted minds like Rush Limbaugh, Pat Robertson, Dick Cheney and his ill-informed daughter, Sarah Palin, and Fox News; you are pretty much brainwashed into actually believing what these fools articulate.

Televangelist Pat Robertson Using Christianity to Spew Hatred and Racism
Televangelist Pat Robertson implied Haitians got what they deserved because they formed a pact with the devil to gain liberty from the French. I’m willing to bet vile people like Pat Robertson, Rush Limbaugh, and the far right will come up with something to blame President Obama for the devastation in Haiti. These people will say and do any, and everything to try to make sure the President fail. In my opinion, these people are far more dangerous than any terrorists planning to do harm to America. The same way clear thinking Americans refuse to stoop to the level of terrorists, we refuse to stoop to the level of the Pat Robertsons’ and the Rush Limbaughs’ of the world.
