Hypocritical Republicans and don’t feel slighted Lazy Democrats
Yes, the election of the very first African-American President was historic.
Do you remember the days when we were taught that this country is the melting pot of world cultures? What is it, to be an American then?
Can Identity be defined without considering Culture?
Of all the people that have come to this country, they tend to be culturally polarized. They then visit the prevailing culture but return to their native culture before midnight or so it seems. There are two exceptions to this postulation:
The Native American, they were told that they were defeated but could continue to be the Indian Nations on their RESERVATIONS only or adopt the American way; then there is the African Slave and those that resemble them. They were systematically striped of their native cultures and languages but were not immediately accepted as human let alone an American. Therefore, I am not surprised that the News Media has made it clear that Our President had a White Parent. Did that sanitize the African portion or per our constitution, 50% is better than .25%. Tiger Woods made it clear that he is not African American but Philippine American. Does this make him less an American or less of African decent?
So, what is the problem? Is it Cultural, Racial or is it a matter of Anthropological Maturation? Keeping in mind that all human beings are genetically 98% the same, but we hold fast to that which makes us different. It would appear that we die daily for the right of only a few to experience these rights. “What rights”, you ask. Well, I read this some where:
“…We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. –That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security…”
I grant that this excerpt is of the Declaration of Independence of the Thirteen United States of America, from Britain but at any time did we reason that it is not an excerpt of the Declaration of these 51 United States as well? Our flag denotes the original 13 Colonies by strips and 51 States by Stars. So I take it that the Declaration of Independence was speaking of the beliefs of those that inhabit these United States of America.

What’s with this Human Race
How they can hate themselves so;
Standing side by side
Depending on each other;
Striving as one to kill another
When we get Home,
We won’t associate with each other;
One is black the other another Color.
Thanks for the helping hand,
and helping me stay alive;
But I just can’t deal with your brotherly lies.
We are brothers
Well,
What color is your blood?
Mine is red.
Why must we wage this war against each other?
Neither can do a thing about our color.

What is it all for?
What purpose is served?
I care,
But they have been conditioned to live without
They are so used to living cold, calculating,
ISO-Alienated Lives;
Until a Community is a foreign word,
With a Lost Meaning,
I search for a place….
Where people Live as a part of the Human Race.
A place Where the word “People”
Signifies all Human Beings,
And not individuals worlds co-existing on the same
Quasi-dimensional plan.
In this place, I find Humanoids afraid to love—
For fear of pain;
Fleeing life for fear of dying.
Yet, I will love these people.
Deep down in my heart, I seek a way to tell them;
I’m Human!
And So are you;
We’re Brothers!

I must agree with Thomas Jefferson “…all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.” This simply means that we change when we can’t get around not changing. With this in mind, it pains me to see that the record is so clear; that since this nation’s birth men and women of every hue, color, race, culture and language, have stood side by side on every continent including this one and have shed red blood in the name of these principles we claim to believe in; these truths which are self-evident. Yet, within the boarders of these United States and her Territories, the privileged few hoard to themselves the first fruit of our collective labor and cast so much of that which remains at the feet of the political swine around the world while denying a rightful share of this bounty to those that bleed and die to protect it, created it, grow it, manufacture it and have earned a right to share it. If we are unwilling to shower upon the American Citizen the fruit of their labor, how can we demand of other countries to see these principles as Unalienable Rights?
The Republicans did draft and fight to pass the Bill of Rights but they have proved to be the hypocrites for these rights seem not to apply to all Americans or do they?
It is believed that less government is the best government; so without regulation (which is the purpose of government), the money managers of our county broke our economy. Then the owned politicians made only the cuprites whole with freshly printed new money, while the average citizen has been left to pay over inflated unsecured debuts; those that are still employed, that is. For eight long years, the Republican Party held the reigns to our nation’s stability and in the name of someone to blame, they led us into three new undeclared wars based on true lies and have steered our financial stability into a ditch of a depression. In spite of these atrocities we have bit the proverbial bullet and adjusted our gait as we continued the struggle. Not one of our legislators called our office of the Presidency a lie then. Even though we may have thought it. We the people then chose a new driver to sit in the seat of leadership because he promised to lead us out of the ditch of despair and will find a path that will lead us back to prosperity and stability. Then a Republican Representative dared to call our office of the Presidency a LIAR! I dare you! When we elected that man, he ceased to be a mere Man; he became the embodiment of the office that he holds. We the governed designed it so. I am an American and I am seriously offended and feel you do not deserve to represent any of us but I am begrudged so much more because I know that you do!
It is written, “If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.” (Mark 3:25)
So I ask you Rep. Joe Wilson and those like you, what is the problem? Is it Cultural, Racial or is it a matter of Anthropological Maturation?
