Weary of him

Pay for the jobs bill with taxes on the rich, so says King Barack.

Well, I'm not rich, but there's something that bothers me about his repeated demonizing of those who are rich.

But wait a minute. Is he not rich? I don't quite understand. Won't that mean his taxes will increase? Does he actually pay taxes?

How Things Are

I did not vote for King Barack. I cannot look at him, cannot abide his manner of speech and mostly would like to pin him to the wall over most of what he says. I did appreciate his remarks at the gathering after Gabrielle Giffords was shot. Someone smart must have written it.

I think he came ill-prepared to the presidency and have not changed my mind on that score. I think the people who elected him had/have no idea what a mess they have got us into.

Incidentally, upon his election, my friend Wendy's friend Roxy said, "For the first time in my life I am proud of my country." I wasn't there or I would have asked "why so"? I'm pretty sure her answer would have been, "Because he's black." I believe Michelle Obama also said she was proud of this country for the first time in her life. Again, I wonder why. No doubt, beyond the possibility of the very personal reason, it was because he's black.

So here it is. Those people who have argued forever that skin color does not matter now make it clear that skin color is the thing that does matter.

And do these people understand that his blackness did not equip him to be president? No.

What We Need to Do

Vote them all out of office.

All of them.

Obama

We've got him.
Now how do we get rid of him?

Hello-o-o

Well isn't it just absolutely wonderful?! King Barack is the first US President to tweet on twitter. How social networkly advanced of him.

But here's the deal--and I hope it doesn't shock you--this does not make him a good president.

When is the election again?

Two more Republican candidates are coming in. Hunstman and Perry.

I like what Perry says. Stop apologizing for our conservative values.

Let's.

And let's allow them to truly be the core of our politics, our lives.

What say?

The Issue I've Been Reading About

I don't mind Lesbians. Let them have each other. Truly.

But I do mind when they shove their life choices (and those really are the words I want to use) down my throat and refuse to allow my objections. I do mind when they insist that I (and all of us) see them a certain way, and if I don't, I had better keep my mouth shut. And I mind their active war against heterosexuality and its benefits. Which some of us see as obvious.

So this means Lesbians the Lobby I fear. Lesbians with political power I fear a lot.

I see no reason for name calling. We are all human beings. And I see no place for denial. Homosexuality exists, has long existed, and most likely will always exist. But I don't have to accept it as the norm.

What I say here I apply also to Gay men.

But let me say this: Lucky for me no one reads this blog.
