I’ll start my blog off today with a little admin news. I’m going to try to get on a schedule where I can post new material every Tuesday and Friday afternoon. The most talked about topic in the world is the Presidential race in our great country, so that’s what I’ve been posting on. I’m very disappointed in the anger being voiced, mostly on the right, during this campaign season. Most Americans thought this type of thinking was gone from America’s collective mind. I guess we just needed the right catalyst to stir racism back up. Here are a few things that have caught my attention since my last post:
ACORN-Totally Irrelevant
Why? Because of the difference between Voter REGISTRATION Fraud and VOTER Fraud. First of all, ACORN hires people to go out on the streets and register people to vote. They pay them about $8 an hour. Some are even paid by the number of people they register. That last sentence is important, so pay attention. There are no background checks, these people are similar to the neighborhood canvassers you have seen so many of. Anyone can do it. OK, if you register a guy 73 or even 1000 times, he can still only vote once, not 1000 times, once, just like everybody else. The voter registrars were making money. Not much more. If you look through the phonebook and fraudulently add a name to a voter registration role, and that person shows up to vote, they can still only vote once and they will vote for whomever they choose, not necessarily YOUR candidate! If you register a dead person, which some of these people did, they will not be there to vote on Election Day, so that registration is also irrelevant.
ACORN was very sloppy and it has cost them lots of money, they paid people to do a job. Those people got paid a lot more than they deserved for the actual work they did. It has been reported that some simply went home and wrote names out of the phonebook on their registration forms. I think one was John's Jons, which sounds like a plumbing store of some sort. The reason it doesn't matter is that John's Jons will NOT be at the polls in November. The President will not be chosen by the number of "voter registrations", but by the Electoral College, based mostly on the number of voters for a particular candidate!
The RIGHT of Violence
It looks like John Lewis was right all along. The racial tension in this country is almost to the boiling point. All you have to be is Black and an Obama supporter and you are automatically racist (see Colin Powell). The country is in a sad state and the RIGHT is hoppin’ mad. I occasionally post in other blogs, mostly in my hometown newspaper, and the tone of the Right in those blogs is ‘if you vote for Obama, you must be Black, racist, stupid or all of the above’. Maybe this is America and you can vote for whomever the hell you want to vote for, no reason necessary! Check this out! A female canvasser was actually punched by a man according to the Huffington Post just for working for the Obama campaign. In another incident, a bear cub was killed and placed at Western Carolina University with Obama signs posted on it. That’s pretty sadistic. I don’t have to remind you of our friends in Klanstown, Pennsylvania. I wouldn’t be surprised if all hell broke loose on election night, regardless of the victor. The Country is in dire need of some healing. If you doubted before now that the last eight years of fear and division in America has taken a terrible toll on our country, you can’t doubt it anymore.
John and Sarah-Match made in Hell
They can’t even agree on their own policies or message. He calls Obama a Rock star, she dances on Saturday Night Live. Who’s the rock star now? He’s against a Constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, she’s for it. Where’s Chuck Hagel when you need him? There’s the REAL Maverick! Speaking of Chuck Hagel, he sponsored a bill in 2005 that would have regulated Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Freddie Mac secretly paid a GOP lobbying firm $2 million to kill the bill. That lobbying firm was lead by the organizer of this year’s RNC. Probably not a coincidence.
I’ve brought you into my mind today. My biggest concern is not the economy, we will weather that storm. It is the state of America AFTER this election. We are a fractured society; some are seething with long suppressed hatred and anger. We need to get back to the 9/11 days when everyone was an American, not a Black or White, Democrat or Republican, but just an American!
