Well, they shouldn't be. They destroyed this man.
...........Unless you'd prefer me to celebrate a person instead of his cause; in which case, Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!
Today, many people are celebrating the event of a black person becoming president. While that shows great strides in the right direction--it is evident America has come a long way, I can't help but be dissatisfied.
I wish people wouldn't pay attention to color at all. Was Obama elected just because he was black? If so, is that progress?
Should today be a blacks-only holiday? Because, that's essentially what it is--coupled with black history month. In America, there seems to be plenty of diversity and discrimination to go around.
I look forward to the day when I'm not seen as a white person and I stop noticing others' color of skin. Is MLK day helping or hindering that from happening? I think the latter, so that's why I'm wishin' ya'all a happy Civil Rights Day.

It isn't a shocker to know that it wouldn't take that long for "The Change Agent" to bow to the pressure of the left wing. He also has begun with the tactics of communication as well.
It is going to be a long 4 years...
INTERESTING FACTS ----- NOTICE LINK AT BOTTOM
Some unreported stats about the 2008 election
Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul , Minnesota ,
points out some interesting facts concerning the 2008 Presidential election:
-Number of States won by: Democrats: 20; Republicans: 30
-Square miles of land won by: Democrats: 580,000; Republicans: 2,427,000
-Population of counties won by: Democrats: 127 million; Republicans: 143 million
-Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Democrats: 13.2; Republicans: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory Republican won was
mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens. Democrat territory mostly
encompassed those citizens living in rented or government-owned tenements and
living off various forms of government welfare..."
Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency
and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty
percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental
dependency" phase.
Notice that only in the states of Alaska and Oklahoma : All counties were won by McCain/Palin.

Okay, so an objective journalist threw his shoes at our President.
The parodies have no end. Many people are laughing. Many Americans think it's funny......heck, many Americans wish their own shoes were used.
This gives me a sick feeling. Even if I didn't like President Bush, which I do, I would never find this humorous. How can we have such a lack of disrespect?
Americans are so stupid. The world is so stupid. Find me a place where the mobs of ignorance don't rule, and that is where I'll hang my hat.
"Remember that popularity is as fleeting as the Texas wind.
Character and conscious are as sturdy as the oaks on this campus.
When you go home tonight, look in the mirror and be satisfied that you have done what is right--you will pass the only test that matters."
Things change so fast. One minute you’re on top of the world, hopeful, optimistic, young. Then it all comes crashing down. My dreams are shattered, my joy gone. Hope Schmope.
I use to have piles of respect for President-elect Obama. I used to think that he was a different brand of politician and could bring about substantive change. I studies his policies and read his books. I believed in him. I trusted him.
No more.
He uses a Zune.
How can I ever trust his judgment again?
