I frequent the African American group. If you go back there and spout nonsense about white men tapping that as a conqueror - then one would be banned. But that is allowed in GD. And gets a hundred recs.
I don't go into the vegetarian group because I'm not one. I don't go into the GLBT oriented groups - because I view those as support for those who live that experience every single day.
Now since 2008 I've heard and read absolute nonsense about President Obama - at that time a candidate.
Stick a fork in me - I'm done. Let's entertain the "critiquers" for one moment . . .
I do. Then I hear and read the same things Sister Sarah Alaskastan and Sean Hannity have been spouting off for years now only wrapped up in big fancy blue bow instead of one of those "100 RED Stick On Bows for $2.99 at Target at Christmas".
There is no cult of personality on my part. I get that many of those folks toiled and suffered for their candidate in 2007. I did not.
I did not get all "we've got to win" until McCain said in August 2008 that he would not sit down down with Zappatero without preconditions. I found it extremely disturbing that he would not sit down with the leader of Spain, the leader of at that time the 8th largest economy in the world and an ally in Afghanistan that had lost soldiers due to our stupidity of going in there in the first place.
They've got to understand - using the same language and talking points only morphed to sound "liberal" is tiresome to some of us. We've been hearing this bullshit in the MSM ever since Edwards dropped out and the MSM selected S.O.S. Clinton to win in 2008.
And now today - a voting bloc has been lost. When you look at the racial make up of Philadelphia, what ALMOST happened there in 2012, and note that the VRA's most critical piece - Ask For Permission First - has been lost . . .
While they are worrying about the NSA - I'm worried about being sent back to 1950. Along with President Obama.
But they are okay with that I guess - as it means Obama gets punished.
And no - I'm not saying they are racist. *Rolling my eyes* because they will take it as such.
I'm saying I don't give a shit about Snowden, or the NSA, or Ellsberg, etc etc. I've got my own issues over here and with a little luck . . . that treasure troll Scalia will kick the bucket and President Obama can appoint a Justice that can stop the insanity. So I will not participate in weakening the Office of a lame duck President who does and has walked in the same shoes I have through the cesspool of bigotry and ignorance in America.
