If Reagan had proposed tax increases in 1980 during a recession, then of course I would be against it. If he proposed an increase in gas and home utility rates, I'd be against it. And you know, Obama promising the poor that he'd help them with their heating bill, Fuck you asshole. 2010 is coming and 2012 is not far behind.

I know that we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly this relationship has run its course. Our two ideological sides of America cannot and just will not ever agree on what's right. So let's just end it right now while we can do it on friendly terms. We can smile, shake hands, chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and each go our own way. <BR/><BR/>So here's a model separation agreement.<BR/><BR/>Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by land mass, each taking a portion. That's going to be the difficult part, but I'm sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy. Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate taste. We don't like redistributive taxes so you can have those. You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU. And since you hate guns and you hate war, we'll take the firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military. You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell. But you are going to be responsible for finding a biodiesel vehicle big enough to haul them around. <BR/><BR/>We'll keep the capitalism, the greedy corporations, the pharmaceutical companies; we will keep Wal-Mart and Wall Street. You can have the homeless, the homeboys, the hippies and illegal aliens. We will keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, the greedy CEOS and all of the rednecks. We'll keep the Bibles and we'll let you have NBC and Hollywood.<BR/><BR/>You can be nice to Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer anybody that threatens us. You can have the peaceniks and the war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we will provide them with security. You won't have to worry about it. We will keep our Judeo-Christian values. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism and Shirley Maclaine. You can also have the UN, but we will no longer pay the bill. <BR/><BR/>We will keep the SUVs, the pickup trucks and the oversize luxury cars. You can have the compacts, the subcompacts and every Subaru station wagon you can find. You can give everybody healthcare, if you can find any practicing doctors. We will continue to believe that healthcare is a privilege and not a right. We will keep "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and the national anthem, and I am sure you will be happy to substitute in their place "Imagine." I'd like to teach the world to sing "Kumbaya" or "We are the world." We will practice trickle-down economics and you can give trickle-up poverty your best shot. And since it so offends you, we will keep our history, our name and our flag. <BR/><BR/>Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots. And if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the friendly spirit of parting, I'll bet you ANWAR which one of us will need whose help in about 15 years.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely, <BR/><BR/>John J Wall<BR/><BR/>Law student and an American<BR/><BR/>P.S.

Currently the focus seems to be on the racism of whites. In my personal experience, I have experienced racism from all non blacks. I have worked mostly with other minorities and their racism is just as damaging if not worse than white racism. But I rarely hear of that racism being addressed. <BR/>Given the changing demographics, I think it is rather late to keep focus on white racism and demanding dialogue. Its now a system that has a life of its own. And mere dialogue between black and white America won't achieve much.<BR/><BR/>Whites today could decide to collectively end discriminatory behavior and Blacks will still have to deal with discriminatory behavior. <BR/><BR/>My personal belief is that as long as you have dark skinned people in this system, this will remain so, dialogue or no dialogue.<BR/>It is so ingrained in people that a person can live their whole life being racist without even knowing it.<BR/>IMO, the focus should be on the improvement of Black livelihood through education, health and employment. Calls for social integration are a waste of air time and resources.<BR/><BR/>If blacks were intellectually and economically empowered across the board, it would take some damage off this society's racism. <BR/>And if we spoke ,we would be truly heard.

Every Black and White American knows that. I don’t think Obama trashed his AG. He used words that supported but indicated he would have said the truth differently. Of course, he would have....Take a look at his famous speech on race.<BR/><BR/>I am sure Blacks are ready and willing to talk about racism in this country. However, why would Whites want to talk about it? This is a case of victim and offender having a dialogue about a very ugly evil. If I were White, I wouldn't want to talk about it, considering they are part of a lineage that enslaved people, exclaiming “give me liberty or give me death!” Some atrocious things occurred in the past to ‘several’ races, and guess who did it? It's much too shameful and painful for anyone to own up to. It is analogous to being an adult sex abuser in the family, who repeatedly took sexual advantage of a child in the family. Later, when the child became an adult and needed an honest cathartic talk with the perpetrator…the offender always said, "That's in the past. Let's move on." or “Why are you always ‘whining’ about the past? What good does it do now?" Or, I don’t want to hear about it. Why can’t you just forget about it?” So, unless Whites have a sudden religious conversion like Paul had on the road to Damascus…well, as they say in N.J. mob lingo, “Forgetttt abouttt It!”<BR/><BR/>The trouble is, until we are able to talk about it, we will remain a neurotic mess as a nation, just like a dysfunctional family. <BR/><BR/>As Carl Jung said, “Neurosis is always the substitute for legitimate suffering.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-50329534834887405262009-03-08T20:46:00.000-04:002009-03-08T20:46:00.000-04:00Anyone watch SNL this weekend?check it out on hulu...Anyone watch SNL this weekend?check it out on hulu, the segment called "The Rock"Obama (our fantasy that he gets ANGRY) and the one whre Steele is on the News Update.
