“We are all ready to be savage in some cause. The difference between a good man and a bad one is the choice of the cause.” –William James
Today,President Obama Spoke on America’s Energy Security -Washington, DC 11:25amET and stay tuned for a White House Briefing with the Information Technology Industry Council 1pmET and a Press Briefing by Press Secretary Jay Carney is scheduled at 1pmET and last the event … “Open for Questions: Women in America” happens at 5:10pmET
The weather is wicked windy this Wednesday and while it is definitely, spring this does not feel very springy to me but then life is all about change right? The latest events have made me wonder if Congress on the State and Federal level and or rhetoric from Republicans and folks who lean right of center will really get beat back hard enough by the Democratic Party. In a time when millions are unemployed, more layoffs coming and Corporate America is still outsourcing and holding jobs hostage. The Republican Party continues to cut slash and burn American Workers. The party of No, which used to be just a conservative pro-life scary group, is now so extreme that the slogan “taking their country back”, is no longer code but an overt statement from Republican Tea Party members. Obviously, it is about not wanting “his kind” in the White House. The Tea Party wants to Privatize Public Service Jobs, which includes Teachers, Fire Fighters, Police, and others while gutting Social Service programs that help the elderly, women, and children around the country suffering already but are now willing to legislate more people into poverty. I have to say this has made me wonder what our neighborhoods will look after this nasty group is done. We all know the more folks out of work the better the chances of fewer services available, just think what having less police, fire fighters to help not just the less fortunate but all those above the poverty line. Did they think about this?
The media and certain Politicians say that in times of crisis people separate into cliques. I say our Politicians and Talking heads have been doing a great job in forcing the public and or viewer into choosing side’s everyday depending on the issue. It is offensive and while the November Midterms was proof of how manipulation works, clearly a whole lot of buyer’s remorse has set in for the Political Party of No, Tea Party carpetbaggers who said one thing and are doing another. We all probably have family or know people who did March for equal rights, felt compelled, added to and a part of that strength in numbers adage we all hear frequently that i consider so important and speaks volumes when a change is near just over the horizon waiting to happen. This feeling of wanting a better way of life is possibly shared by most is spreading all over the world and while a couple of tyrants have seen the light others continue to participate in overt genocide others shutdown access to the World outside. I get the feeling the Republican Tea Party is a lot like those folks in other countries currently doing all they can to either keep control or take anyone down that happens to be in the way by murdering them …right?. In our case, American voters are demanding freedom but the people with the power have gone rogue without thinking about what the full impact on the lives of the many will be or don’t care and have decided to take that risk and try to usurp the rights of Americans whether it’s done legally, by consensus or not.
We are all Freedom Fighters on some level every day.
