McCain for No Change

People,

I'm a troubled soul and my teeth don't fit properly, but I still don't work my jaw around as much as Senator John McCain. Every time I see the Senator, he seems exasperated with the ignorance that questions him. If we were all enlightened then, of course, we would agree with him. Meanwhile, isn't it bothersome, all these questions? He reminds me of old men I bothered as a kid.

Admiral Grandpa and Admiral Pa never faced this type of scrutiny. Admirals give orders, make choices, mold worlds. Nobody questioned the admirals.The military is authoritarian. John McCain is a military man. Can you see where I'm going with this? I'm just getting started, too.

I got shit to say about Senator McCain. First thing, it would be best to leave 'wives' out of the campaign. A word of the wise to the McCain campaign.

Secondly, I don't want anyone who suffered at the hands of captors as long as Senator McCain did as President.

I respect the Senator, however, he failed his mission, was captured, was unable to escape, and has to be scarred, deeply, from the experience. I don't want little voices in the night, or the necessity to exert his 'power' (free at last from the cage) running the country.

I've said it before, too. If they'll do anything to get elected, don't elect them. And the tactics. I saw the original debate where Obama said he would 'talk' with our adversaries. First Hillary, and now McCain, distort that statement way out of proportion. Dirty tactics. McCain should recognize someone's got to lose, and take the high road. Win or lose, 2 to 1 he's dead in eight years, regardless. A vote for McCain is a vote for no change.

VOTE for ISOLATIONISM and IMPERIALISM.

First we disband all international companies. Afterward, we cancel all debt owed to foreign countries and freeze all monies in American banks. As part of our new Isolationist Government, we will allow no money to leave the country, keep all monies in the country, and seize all foreign assets. There will be no imports and no exports. If we need it and don't have it, we'll initialize the Imperialistic half of the new Government. conquer and exploit. Kick their ass, make 'em a state, give 'em a fair cut.

The American way. Don't question me; my forefathers fought, kicked ass, and created states from the country's inception: the American way!

Everybody feel better politically about your choices now?

The Danger...

.......I wrote of on Jan. 28 in an E titled, "It's not about race", looms closer on the horizon today. In that e I asked," Will they( Obama supporters) accept a defeat if non-black voters do not support the Senator and then claim, "It's not about race"? It would now appear non-black voters are supporting the Senator in at least enough numbers to give him the nomination.

Now I worry that Senator Obama could win the majority of delegates and the popular vote, and then lose because of the "super delegates", thus, igniting deeply held feelings of racial inequity that would result in rioting and social unrest. Possibly civil war.

IF I was a Black American and Sen. Obama was the popular vote and delegate winner, and then somehow was not the candidate, I would question everything about America . And regardless of the visible, initial reactions, the designation of Hillary Clinton as the Democratic nominee without a clear cut victory would be a devisive disaster for the nation; An alienating action to Black Americans that would set race relations back fifty years.

It's obvious The Clinton campaign is not going to concede. On the contrary, the more the nomination appears to slip from Hillary's hands, the nastier she and Bill become ! Is she enough of a stateswoman to gracefully bow out for the good of the party and the election of a Democrat? HELL NO....... But would the Clintons and the Party pull some political, backdoor, curveball in order to win the nomination for Hillary, even at the expense of the nations race relations? That's what "Florida and Michigan recounts", and "super delegates" sound like, to me. That would be dangerous to the nation as as whole.

An additional danger is if the campaign continues to be ugly and escalates any further then it already should not have, the democrats will weaken themselves to the point McBush could win. Now thats dangerous.

But, when political strategists theorize one candidates supporters will be so turned off by the other candidates nomination that they will not vote, or switch affiliation and vote Republican, I believe it could be much worse: I dare say it, "If Sen.Obama goes into the convention with the most delegates, He damn well better come out the nominee".

Or we can play "Burning down the House". In other words, Black America is supporting Senator Obama in the 90+ percentiles, should by some hook or crook Hillary Clinton get the nomination, and Black America see it as a robbery, I can almost see Oprah throwing Molotav cocktails! After the Gore\2001 robbery and eight years of Bush, I may want to join the revolution. (can't bite the hand that feeds me).

I'll repeat my words of Jan28;

The Obama campaign promises to illustrate how tolerant, mature, evolved, and hypocritical we are as a nation. And I dare say it now: It is about race, and a myriad of other qualities that have nothing to do with race, but, should Senator Obama lose, "race" will then be a major issue. If he wins: History marches on, he's the first, there will be others.

In the coming months, America will learn something about her people: They don't live in a Grey World.

Red state, Blue state, Revealing me and you state.

In the now infamous words of the Reverend Wright, " Hillary Clinton will never know what it's like to be a black man in a society and culture controlled by rich white men." Neither does anybody else whom isn't a black man, I would imagine, BUT, the Reverend seems to know of a frustration, or anger, or power hidden deep within the unsatisfied souls of his delegation. Watch the congregation as they nod and agree with his words.They seem to know what the Reverend is speaking of. These are affluent Blacks whom lack for nothing, yet they share the Reverends feelings. And in the event that Senator Obama should get cheated out of the nomination for President, those feelings will become dangerous. It will be like a war cry to revolt against a society and culture controlled by rich white men.

The Day Before Payday

It's the day before payday. I had left over meatloaf for breakfast. My first cup of coffee had milk and sugar in it; all the creamer is gone, now the milk is too. I'm out of bread and eggs, Pepsi, bagels, cheese, and chocolate milk also. From this point the list becomes infinite, suffice to say, payday will arrive none too soon.
Life is so wonderful. Living in thirty day cycles within five year goals isn't so great, but every day an inch. I feel like the goal-less worm. It will happen and I will get there. Don't ask where, if you think about our ultimate destination, inching towards it is much too fast. Just another five years, ten or fifteen times will do, maybe. I was looking for one hundred and five but the closer I get, the better one hundred and fifty looks. I need more time to get things right. If 'only the good die young', isn't that like a war-cry for misbehaving? Do only the wicked get old, or only after avoiding dying young do they repent and become good old people?
Is John McBush really a war-monger? Does Hillary Clinton realize that her idea and description of dodging bullets in Bosnia is an insult to service people who have served under-fire? Does Hillary Clinton know? Hillary will never know what it is like to be a black man in a society and culture controlled by rich white people. Hillary will never know what it is to be a poor, bald man without a Harvard education, living in a shack, in a society and culture controlled by rich white people. Barack Obama will never know what it's like to be from Arkansas either, or a woman; or married to Bill. Hell, I can never know a lot of things that being me inherently prohibits. I can only imagine what being married to me would be like.
Sounds to me like black churches lay a double whammy on their followers; the only way to heaven is through the Son (inclusive/exclusive), and you better stay strong with God to fight white supremacy. That means coming to Church to get your lessons in divisiveness. What we really need is a 9/11 in space with an alien Al Qaeda that is bright-green and has three arms. That would give everybody a common enemy. Earthling or not! I'm glad I got this out today, cos tomorrow I'll have money and no time for this bullshit.

Mine For the Day

It gets worse everyday, this election process. Sen. Hillary already sounds like a sore loser, like she had something stolen from her, and Sen. Obama like a smarter Jesse Jackson. I still like the short guy with the red headed wife. Obama is not the man to run the country at this point. Hillary isn't the woman. If Hillary could just be a black man I think we'd have a democratic candidate.
Has any Presidential candidate before pulled such overwhelming support from the black vote? Is it about race? Ask Oprah who she would have supported if all the candidates were white? Undoubtedly a woman? Isn't her audience predominately female? Yet she supports a male over the female candidate? Race over gender? Like something from Oprah.The hypocrisy of that speaks for itself!
Now here is the question... In this year of 2008, when most socially conscious Americans living in an enlightened world condemn racism, at least publicly, why is it sooooooo important to black Americans to elect a black man President? I don't know. Obviously, I am not a black American.
When I talk to my friends, white, middle class-assholes for the most part, like me, I don't get the impression that 80% of them will vote against Sen. Obama because he's black. Are 80% of woman voting for Sen. Clinton? How about 80% of non-black women? If 'it's not about race' is a lie and it is about race, is race really the right criteria to elect a President?
McCain for no change. I think we better start the process again..... America still needs a next President, or at least a good actor.... c'mon Fred.

Change We Can Believe In?

In 1976, America was wrapping up the Vietnam era. Americans did not want to be Imperialists. The Americans losing sons sure as hell didn't feel like the profits justified the cost. The Communist threat wasn't scaring the citizenry any longer. Like Muhhammad Ali said, "Ain't no Vietnamese done nothing to me."

Have we killed many Al Qaeda recently?

The dollar is worth less. That means everything else is more expensive. When an Empire is faltering their money is worth less... That's change you can believe in. Doesn't matter whether you believe it or not though, the reality is as it is.

In 1976, Americans elected Jimmy Carter President. President Carter was a peace loving man. At the end of his Presidency it was said, "not one American soldier had died in armed conflict during his Presidency". It was also during his Presidency that the price of oil first jumped toward that dollar figure has now tripled. I think I read, 'thus began the greatest transfer of wealth in history from one part of the world to another.' ...That was change we can believe in.

It was cool to be Sheik, and Georgetown had a lot of rich middle eastern kids partying in the clubs, driving expensive sport cars, being cool. Students in America with money...

It was also During the Carter administration that 'the Islamic Revolution' started, and coincidentally The Shah of Iran (a longtime Western Ally was removed). Oil supplies were interrupted. Gas prices forced lifestyle adjustments for the poor. And the middle class groaned a little.

...The Iranian students in America were caught on the wrong side of the line and the party ended a little soon for them. Empires do disappear ...That's a change we can believe in!

It was also during the Carter administration that Iran's leader, The Ayatollah Khomeini declared America, 'the Great Satan'.

Our Sovereign Soil in Iran (the American Embassy in Tehran) was seized and the American employees were taken hostage. Held until Ronald Reagan took office, altogether over a year later. It was a superpower held powerless.

The hostage incident was a disgrace and embarassment to The United States. The Ayatollah allowing Iranian 'students' to seize our Embassy in Tehran and hold the hostages for a year was an act of war, and when the United States didn't step up and kick their ass, well, it made us look weak (looking weak is not particularly good for an empire, especially an Imperialistic Empire). Iran has been attacking the United States ever since. They have raised two generations of American flag burning, freedom Haters. They say that America is a spreading an evil that must be annihilated. In the mind of the 'Holier than Thou', there is no negotiating with that evil. And until Iran gets a taste of that can of 'whoop ass' that they've been begging for going on thirty years, they will continue to disrespect the United States time and time again! ...That's a change we can believe in.

Is the Surge really working? Or is it a Republican ploy to elect Sen. John McCain? Do that and waste more money and lives trying to save the world (and steal oil that's ruining the place anyway) ...A change we can believe in: Alternate fuel sources.

President Carter set up an Alternate fuel Commision, but funding was cut from the budget once his administration left office. Something about our Empire shrinking. There is always a grab for the money going on, and on the fringes of the Empire, on the borders, the grab is one way or the other; shrinking or enlarging, it's war ...That's a change we can believe in.

Revolution is a change we can believe in. It's the need for change, not necessarily the "Change". Historically change usually comes with the Guillotine a new branch of the Royal family. These day though, Saddam got the noose and Iraq a puppet government. Maybe, that's why Iran doesn't want to see America in the Middle East. Their own country's Islamic revolution just thirty years old... Bit too close for comfort.

Thirty years ago, we agreed, America does not want to be an Imperialistic, Gun Boat Diplomacy, Nuclear Threat of a nation that sees the world as an Empire to be conquered. That was a change we believed in in 1976. It is a change we still believe in in 2008. The difference in 2008 is: America must not walk out of the Middle East without giving The Iranian Revolutionary Guard that Bitch Slap! And we better elect a President who knows how to Deliver it!
