Look into the Voice of Common Sense

I was going to just not comment, but I had to as a patriot of this republic. Some of you have the audacity to talk about the President and congress the way you do. You forget you supported a President who lied to the American people and took us to a war which he willfully knowing there was no WMD's. The Cost: our Blood and our Treasure. Now those within a certain part of a political party is holding 300 millions Americans hostage and all fault of there making are holding the entire world as well. 

You can hate the President all you want for whatever nonsensical or righteous indignation you may have. But don't be crying about the debt or anything else when it was the GOP who shutdown the Government.  It was the GOP who got us in debt and was behind the GREAT Recession.  It was the GOP who brought us here time and time again. An it was their Right Wing Nut Jobs (RWNJS)  who brought the battle flag of those traitors who attempted to secede from this Union to the White House. How Dare you!

Please understand we all have the right to free speech in whatever way shape or form. But if you are going to exercise that right don't be stupid and ignorant. Read true history not it's rewrite.Understand that we are moving forward and the past is the past.

We can't undone the past but we can make our future better.  So if you want to impeach anyone, impeach yourself and those of your ilk. You bear ill will towards this Republic and it citizens. This is beyond creed, religion, sex, nationality, orientation  it comes down to ARE A CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES or ARE YOU NOT?

Look inside yourself and answer that... May God Bless these UNITED States and all of her citizens in this troubling times

From the Gallery my voice

As the sun comes up everyday, I turn on the television and catch the current weather report.  Then I casual flipped to MSNBC to watch or at least try to watch Morning Joe without blowing my truth meter as well as liberal gasket.  As I leave for my trek to work, I listen to the Morning Brief on POTUS Sirrus/XM

Inspiration of a President

Have you ever been inspired or felt the force of inspiration? Well if you answer is yes, than like you we have all been moved to be great or become apart of greatness.  It is hard to find strength when there is no motivation or never lack of heart to accomplish anything task, big or small.  So there are moments that the spirit needs to be motivated or whipped up into grand movement.  It is that initial inspiration that makes us dream big, hope for greatness or move our souls to ideals near godlike in ecstasy.

I know I have posted a lot of things about politics there are reasons for that of course, but the one I am going to talk about is the President. Yep, that’s right President Barrack Obama. To put it plainly since I heard his speech on race in Philadelphia I have been inspired to believe again.  To believe in the government to do what it was formed to do, and that is to protect and serve the people.  He is inspiring us to do better, to be better, and to try harder and not only for the quick fix we have become accustomed but for the long haul and for the future of all mankind.

He is the embodiment of human potential and the hope that lies ahead on the yellow brick road to borrow a sentiment from Oz.  In the past week he has given two commencements speeches at to universities that I myself would consider hostile. Yet, he stay above the fray and even was able to inspire those detractors (“HATERS”).  That is what a President is supposed to do, to inspire the young to be better than the previous generation, and be a role model to all those around the world on how to be a good leader. We all aspire to be great and with motivation and inspiration we can be, but to actually become great you have to have the core belief of that inspiration whatever that maybe.  As a candidate he found that core belief in all of us which was change and hope, and now as President he inspires us to think, work, and believe in tomorrow and what is beyond tomorrow.  Not only for his political fortune but for the good of all the citizens, now that is inspiration.

War on Women's Right - Why?

I was fighting the urge to jump into this argument but just to say a couple of things.  Not all conservatives are bad just as not all liberals are evil. It just seems that some of the forces on the conservative side seem to think that a woman's right to choice, and her body is their prevue to governed and control. Yet why not feed the poor, clean up communities, fight the war on drugs.  What is it so important on what a woman decides to do with her body.  Its like a liberal forcing you not to smoke because you kill yourself but that is your right. In the past year or more.  There are been an unabated assault on women's right. Why is that?  What is the point of forcing Komen to bow to your pressure. Who are you saving? And to those in charge at Komen, how are you serving the millions of women in this country by bowing to the will of a couple of women and half thousand men. 

What is the hard-on that the right has with women's right? I mean I thought the whole focus of the 2010 election was to be jobs. Yeah, how is that working out since not one job bill has gotten passed in any state legislature controlled by the GOP. But i may not have all the facts on this but it does seem like some eerily plan to just turn back a clock to yesteryear with no promise of tomorrow. From trying to rollbacks voting rights, civil rights, immigration, union rights, and everything else that isn't nailed down. But women's rights seem to be facing a onslaught as if the second coming was upon us. It is all a matter of prespective but there needs to be some sort of understanding or truce.  Many have to recongized that GOD gave us "FREE WILL" now go mess with your own life and leave the woman down the street, in your home and your work alone.  It's HER BODY and she will do what she DAMN WELL PLEASES TO DO WITH IT! 

Just some thoughts

What are they taking back? Their "American Dream?"

For almost two years I have heard from the quarters of the GOP and their supporters that they want to take their country back.  They want to take America back! But the question that my cohorts (the American republic) and I always ask is from who and what?  The newest answer is from the socialist elite Nazi guy that the majority Americans voted for and his democratic Chicago thugs you want to tax and spend.  The people who are lazy and want everything given to them. Or better yet to quote one GOP Presidential Nominee, "they need to get a job and take a bath".

But one must wonder really how we got here to this place of discord and malfunction.  How this republic has allowed the mundane to become the battles of punditry, ignorance and just the plain lack of common sense. For one thing what are they really taking back? America of the 1930's, or the 40's or even the 50's? Before we minorities, women, disable rose up for equal rights and protection under the laws of this land. Or for a nostalgic time of where the President of the United States was of a suitable color shade of white. Or before the unions and workforce demanded equal pay, health benefits and the right to organize.  What America are they back?  Mitt Romney stated in his victory speech in New Hampshire that one of his goals is to take America back from some sort of occupier or invasion force.

If memory serves me right at the dawn of the 21st century the GOP was given the to the Kingdom by the highest court in the land. Yes, it was flawed but it was righted and pushing towards a hopeful balance.  Then of course 9/11 happened and then the Afghan War, and they we were tricked into the Iraq war.  We fell apart yet the GOP were the captains of the ship and they sure did pillage us blind.  By the time we all woke up from the dream it was too late the economy was taking and we were facing our Twilight.

Then came to Barrack Obama with his message of hope and change. An we all ate it up by the handful failing to realize that they are nice words to say but getting something done is a whole other matter.  The road blocks in front of him as well as this Republic were vast and require more patience then the lot of us had.  That lack of patience allow a change of course and brought an element of uncertainty.   Yes, we are divided and yes the idea of the "American Dream" is on life support. An yes there is darkness out there and it is vast and ever changing but we are the light and if we don't stand now, we might as not stand at all forever. 

They are wanting to take back everything that is and has become the America of today.  They are wanting to break unions, remove rights to vote, stop the voices of the many, and literally in some cases "bleach" us out.  They want the power of what was then where the few ruled the many and the many cowered in fear from the police, the dogs and water hoses. They want that a woman should be seen but not heard, where brown, black and yellow are silent and know their place.  Where the "American Dream" is only for them whomever them is, yet not see the truth of the matter.  We have been pillaged and plundered for our blood, our treasure and our dreams.  We are the American Republic and we cannot and will not stand by, because if we do it is all lost.

Hope found Again...

I wasn’t a thought in my parents eyes when hope took a beating and was later murdered in the 1960’s.  I wasn’t there when the country had few enemies and was coming to grips with its past and a possible future.  All I have learn and seen from that time in our country’s history is that the people then believe in their federal government, they believed that their voices and cries would be heard.  They believe in the cause of hope, and that there is never enough of it. 

Then without warning innocence as well as hope were lost to time. We as a nation began to fall apart, yet we never wavered. We have become a nation irritable skeptics and realistic dreamers, and apathetic voters. Because then as a nation we watched as hope was subsequently murdered before our eyes in 1963, 1965, and twice in 1968.  Yet, I find it strange that as much as we have been disillusioned as a nation and as generation, we have found what our parent’s lost in the most unlikely places and in the most unlikeliest of times and even stranger is what we found.  HOPE!!!

 It is our generation who again has spawned another movement, granted they haven’t all been good but this is different. This beyond the individual, beyond race, beyond sex and creed, nationality and party affiliation, what is it about is Change and Hope that we are greater than ourselves.  Hope that we are no longer attempting to choose between the lesser evils of our beings and that the human spirit is stronger and with greater resolve than fear itself.  It is that chance to prove that we aren’t the losers, wanders, slackers, dot-comers/busters; greed is everything, in to get our own piece of the pie generation.  We are the voice of HOPE reborn, and we are the wind of change.  We are the warriors that in some ways our parents long us to be, we are their dreams restored that was lost in those dark days; we are the embodiment of all that makes this nation great.  Yet, we are not alone in this grand achievement, because we could not do this alone with our sisters and our brothers and the generation that follows us. As it has been said over the past year or so,” THIS IS OUR TIME, THIS IS OUR MOMENT…!” Let’s have Hope again….

The Twilight of The American Republic

The Twilight of The American Republic: An American Essay by an American Citizen

By Kwame Afriyie

 written in 2005

We may fall this very night, we may ride history into our end.  But we will face the twilight as prideful people.  For we are citizens of a great nation, that is now in its twilight.  May the fates watch over us in our fight.  May the almighty guide us in our fight to save us from ourselves.  There is a saying, “That the prideful will fall, the grateful will be forgiven.”

We are the cusp of what may be greatest nightmare or our greatest challenge.  No matter what path we choose, our fates are locked into the fight for our future.  Our souls may be at stake for those who chose to wear their faith on their arms, while we wear our faith where it should be wore, our hearts.  God blessed us with the greatest gift in the known universe, “Free Will.”

That is the difference between us all, on how we use that gift.  Are we all sheep or do we decide choose our own destiny?  Fortune may favor those in power at this time, but time and patience will always favor those who are not.  Yes, we may be the mighty and we may be the powerful but we are also the lost.  If fate foretold that our democracy was to fall into the hands of zealots, and then our walk into the twilight should humble us.  History has shuddered at what has occurred in what was the world’s greatest democracy.  But what will be recorded is how this democracy fell to theocrats and the demise of personal responsibility.

If faith were meant to be use as a form of government then the founders of this nation, would have made it so.  There are thresholds that we can run up against but should never be crossed.  There are things that should never be use against a person or tactics to be use against us all.  We are great, and we hope to be greater.  But if the world no longer trusts us, or hold us in high regard.  Then our war will be with the world and if that does come to being, we will stand-alone.  This is our twilight; this is our fall.  If where you stand for what make us great than where you fall for who you know and what you want.  Then we still have a chance.  We still have a chance to stop the twilight of a great nation.  In Exodus it says,” Let onto Cesar, what is Cesar’s; and Let onto God, what is God’s.”
