Racist or not?

Choosing to ignore the deep rooted history as to why “go back to where you came from” is racist, is astonishing to me.

You know that friend you use to say, “I’m not racist, one of my closest friends are black”?  Maybe you should ask them their opinion of whether they consider the statement to be racist.  The epitome of white privilege is telling a black person what is and what’s not considered racist.

What’s Trump Hiding?

“When you have nothing to hide, you hide nothing!”  There is substantial evidence as to why Mueller should testify in front of the Judiciary Committee and why his tax returns should be turned over by Mnuchin.  If this President is “the most transparent President we’ve ever had” (his words, not mine), then what on earth is he trying to hide from the American People?  There should be no reason to withhold this information unless he is.  We all know Mueller disagreed with Barr’s summary of his 400+ page report.  Therefore, there is more to all of this than this President wants us to know.  In all honesty, I’ve not read the report in full but the excerpts I have read, it’s clear he obstructed justice and continues to do so with stunts like this.
I found this article, posted by Fox News, very interesting.  It’s a statement , signed by 379 former Federal Prosecutors who feel Trump would have been indicated if he weren’t president.
Trump Would Have Been Indicted...

Remember what Memorial Day is all about, even if our leader doesn't.????

This statement came from a Facebook post this afternoon and IS NOT MY THOUGHT AT ALL and that is why there is a question mark at the end. What the hell does that even mean? I get so sick of blanket comments like that with absolutely no elaboration of what the basis of the statement even means.

Let's break the statement down...

"Remember Memorial Day"... that's a given. We should all honor our fallen soldiers on Monday. How do we do that? Go to a parade, hang a flag in your yard, wear red-white & blue, have a cookout. Now I don't know what President Obama has planned on Monday, but I feel pretty confident that he will probably do one if not all of the things that make us as a nation patriotic. I think he'll even go a step further by visiting the Veteran's Memorial that day in DC. What will you be doing that day?

"Even if our leader doesn't".... WHAT? What does that even mean? What is the basis of that statement? Everyone knows I am an Obama supporter through and through, but even if this message was posted during Bush's term I would have the same reaction. Don't use Memorial Day to trash the current President and what he stands for. Obama, and even Bush for that matter, have more patriotism in their pinkie finger than I have in my whole body. They live and breath the United States of America and what it stands for and that's why they are where they are.

If you're going to make a statement like that, state your reasons for why you feel like that. In my opinion, there is nothing to support it! We must find a way to stop trashing a President that has been given so many obstacles. Why can't we support him in making this a better country instead of making statements like that, which only set us back!

Sarah Palin's Comments - DESPICABLE & UNACCEPTABLE!!!

Inciting violence against members of congress is UNACCEPTABLE! Sarah Palin has made several comments since the Health Care Reform Bill was signed last week and it clearly shows she does not have the best interest of the American People at heart.

I have NEVER been a Sarah Palin supporter and question those who have like minded views. She is a raving lunatic who clearly doesn't understand that her words are taken very seriously. Even though she thinks her remarks (as she uses folksy, wink-wink, tilt of the head moves) shouldn't incite violence, they do. People, crazy as they are, take her remarks serious and make her thoughts their reality.

Just last week, Palin released a map of the United States with districts of key representatives who voted for health care reform, marked with cross-hair symbols. She then went on to release the following statement, "The crossfire is intense, so penetrate through enemy territory by bombing through the press, and use your strong weapons -- your Big Guns -- to drive to the hole. Shoot with accuracy; aim high and remember it takes blood, sweat and tears to win."

Agree with the Health Care Reform Bill or not, that is DESPICABLE!

Sarah goes on to say, "Get in their face and argue with them. No matter how tough it gets, never retreat, instead RELOAD!"

Again, DESPICABLE!

But it's not just Sarah Palin leading people to take such despicable acts of violence against our Congressmen, it's others too. Rep. Michele Bachmann said she wants her constituents "armed and dangerous" against the Obama administration. I'm embarrassed to say that my own state has contributed to this type of rhetoric as Rep. Randy Neugebauer yelled "baby killer" at Bart Stupak on the House floor. Rep. Devin Nunes of California said Tea Partiers had "every right" to use racist and homophobic slurs against Democrats.

Who gives him, or anyone else for that matter, that right? It's not only despicable but it's unacceptable behavior and has to be stopped! I don't know what the answer is to stopping such horrific acts of violence, but something has to give. You know, when I was supporting the Barack Obama campaign for Presidency, he said "change would not come easy", I knew that to be a true statement. I guess I just never thought it to be this hard and this dirty either. It's come down to plain old dirty politics.

I don't think it's politics as usual, it's escalated and it must be stopped!

The President, The Police Officer and The Professor (P.P.P.)

It's so nice to see the President, Police Officer and Professor getting along so well. What a difference a few weeks make.

What's your take.....

What's your take on the President's Health Care Plan? I don't know enough about it and what I do know I can't say I completely understand, so I'd like some thoughts to ponder.

Assalaamu Alaykum - Peace Be Upon You

President Barack Obama gave a speech in Cairo, Egypt this morning and as always, he was stellar. In his speech, Obama vows a "new beginning" for Islam and America in a landmark speech to the world's Muslims, evoking a vision of peace after a smouldering cycle of "suspicion and discord."

What are your thoughts on the speech? Do you think that his words could spark peace in the middle east or do you think it's back to life as usual?

President Obama on GM's Restructuring

I'm very impressed with the President's speech on the new restructuring of General Motors. I believe his intentions are always for the better of the American People. His plan and his team seem to have thought this through and they have come up with a plan that suits GM and the American People at this point and time in our country.

Yesterday I heard people refer to GM as the new Obama Motors and I think that's a little far stretched. You know, our President doesn't get involved in anything without having detailed conversations with his advisers. In no way do I think this decision was made lightly. He is very clear in saying that he has no intention of running GM and that he wants to have the US Government be involved in as little as possible in the decisions of the company. He wants to get in and get out, as quickly as possible.

I believe President Obama is extremely intelligent and I think he surrounds himself with very intelligent people. I support him 100% and have no fear that the decisions he and his staff have made will result in nothing less that victory for GM.

What's your take on Obama's Speech?

So, did you watch the speech last night? What's your take on it?

Here's mine... I thought it was brilliant! He spoke directly to me, directly to the American people. Waking up this morning, I, along with 85% of the American people feel more optimistic about the country's direction.

He made me feel confident that the economy WILL turn around. He TOLD me that education was a top priority and laid out plans to help parents with small children as well as those that are heading off to college. He gave assurance that he would allocate the military in the places that we need it most. He talked about the banks and the auto industry and said with no uncertain terms that he would not put up with executives who abuse bailout money. I liked what he said about the auto industry. I wasn't 100% on board with bailing out the auto industry at first but when he said he just couldn't let the industry die when we were the first inventors of the automobile, it made sense to me. He spoke about health care and his plans to help all Americans obtain health care.

This all may be what he's said before, but this time he was precise, direct and gave timelines for when he expects his plans to be rolled out. He directed his cabinet as well as the American people to step in, step up and make a difference.

My favorite quote, "We will rebuild, we will recover and the United States of America will emerge stronger than before."

Simply stated, BRILLIANT!
