President Barack Hussein Obama gave the State Of The Union speech tonight, and failed to capitulate to those on the right and the left. Those of us who don’t live a block away from the White House know exactly what I’m talking about.
President Barack Hussein Obama can’t in no way do anything to please people like Mr. Adam Green of the ‘Boldprogressives.org’. I have accepted the point that people like Mr. Adam Green, The Congressional Black Caucus, The New Black Panther Party, Moveon.org, The Nation Magazine, The Huffihgton Post, Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews, Ed Shultz, Lawrence O’Donnell, Andrea Mitchell, Chris Todd, The Gay Community, Wolf Blitzer, Anderson Cooper, Joe Scarborough, Pat Buchanan and the rest of the media talking heads that purport themselves as fair and balanced will not in no way give this President the benefit of the doubt; And in my opinion, you shouldn’t if you disagree. Notice that I didn’t name anybody or anything in reference to Fox News, that’s because I already know where they’re coming from.
Anybody noticed how all of the cowards I named above, when they ask any Republican what government program would you cut; All of them go into a long sentence of nothingness.
My problem with the people I called out is this; these are the same media people who stood silently by while George Bush and Dick Cheney lied our treasured men and women of the military into war.
We as Americans have over five thousand of our brave men and women dead, thousands more maimed to the point that they can no longer contribute to society in a meaningful way. But yet we have complete fools campaigning to send the same young men and women back to combat zones three and four times, while they’re sitting home in the comfort of their Congress and Senate seats.
I for one refuse to sit silently by and allow these cowards to shout about how much they support the troops while they tie ribbons around trees in their neighborhoods. These cowards are contributing nothing but ill-informed rhetoric.
It doesn’t matter if you’re Black, White, Magenta, or Green, we all know why the racial relations in America today are brimming to the point of the 1960’s; It’s because there is a ‘BLACK MAN’ in the White House!!!
I contemplated responding to Rep. Michele Bachmann’s response to President Barack Hussein Obama’s State Of The Union speech; but I reminded myself that I’m above the bullshit.

Doctor Martin Luther King Day
It’s Martin Luther King Day, therefore I will focus only on the positive of what I think this day should mean to all.
Everyday should be a day for all of us to respect each other.
I often ask the question, “If all of us do unto others as we wish to be done by, what in the hell we need the other nine Commandments for?”
If we could even come close to 1% of treating each other as we want to be treated, that would be a wonderful thing in the 21st century.
If we could some kind of magical way view everyone as equal to ourselves, that would be a great accomplishment in the 21st century.
I fail to understand why a human being have to show papers to prove they’re somewhere on Earth legally. To the people who are asking for papers of legality, I want to see their papers to prove they’re here legally. I’m not talking about your drivers’ license or your birth certificate; I’m asking for papers that your forefathers left you that they showed to the American Indians when they took their little boat ride.
Back to why I’m happy today, I’m happy today because some of us refuse to accept ourselves as second class citizens.
I’m happy today because I have two gifts that are more valuable than any dollar amount.
I’m happy today because I had the privilege, the right, and the honor to say Good Morning to my Mom and Dad.
I’m happy today because some of us are unhappy about some of the things that are transpiring in our lives today.
To sum all of this up, I’m happy because I’m confident that I will say Good Morning to my Mother, my Dad, my Son and Daughter tomorrow.
Happy Martin Luther King Day to all!!!

Who Fault Was It
I decided after hearing all of the pundits give their opinions on the tragic event that occurred Saturday 01/08/2011, trying to say any and everything to make sure their news cycle create news instead of reporting the news; to throw my opinion in the mix.
There is no way I can look myself in the mirror and say it was Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilley, the Tea Party, or anyone affiliated with the right wing, the moderate wing, or the liberal wing (as if there’s a such of thing as a liberal wing of the Republican Party) of the Republican Party are the blame for the atrocious incident on Saturday. There is but one person to blame and that is the misguided young man who committed the murder, attempted murder, and mayhem of others on Saturday.
With that said, the meek and mild should stop reading now; because I know for a fact the light weights gonna get it twisted. None of us are blaming the people mentioned above for the catastrophic incident that occurred on Saturday, but I for one have to say as Bill Oreilley always say, ‘clear thinking Americans’ know who and what set the tone for the vitriol language that has been thrown around since President Barack Hussein Obama was sworn in as President. We all know who committed the crime of murder, but we also know who set the tone for the brainwashed and the people with the ‘Joe The Plumber’ mentality of our society amongst us to act out their devious deeds.
I refuse to allow commentators on MSNBC with the likes of David Gregory, Joe Scarborough, Andrea Mitchell, Chuck Todd, and Dylan Ratigan to continue to get away with the cowardly line of, “Well both sides, Republicans and Democrats need to stop the hate rhetoric.” To me that’s cop-out rhetoric, these are the same so called journalists who stood silently by while former President George Bush sent our young men and women to Iraq based on a lie that he and Dick Cheney knew was a lie. One of the few journalists who had the heart and fortitude to question people of power was Tim Russert, the former moderator of ‘Meet The Press’. Even Luke Russert, Tim Russert son don’t have the mettle to stand-up to Republicans.
The attempted assignation of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was the act of a deranged young man. The bombing of a Church by KKK members while little Black girls were attending Sunday school was the act of deranged people, but we all know it was the hate message sent by politicians that led them to believe they could commit such and act and get away with it. Wait a minute; they did get away with it.
I don’t remember a Democrat showing up at one of former President George Bush speeches strapped with guns and bullets, just to express their second amendment rights.
I don’t remember a Democrat murdering a doctor who refused to perform an abortion.
I don’t remember a Democrat murdering a gay person because their religion told them to do so.
I don’t remember a Democrat spitting on members of Congress because they voted for a bill that they disagreed with.
I don’t remember any Democrat member of Congress or the Senate ever accusing any of the mongers of hate mentioned above, of being the cause of a nine year old child being murdered by a crazed gunman.
I could go on and on about how the American media have allowed Republicans to get away with bullying civil members of the Congress and Senate; but yet these same cowards want our military to somehow bring civility to other parts of the world.
If Democrats do as most in the media want them to do, and back-off of calling out those who are in power that are spewing out hatred on the floor of Congress and the Senate, the whole world will view them as a party of cowards; I know I will.
