This is what I had the pleasure of listening to on the way home from work yesterday. Quotes from Republicans on talk radio who want Obama imprisoned, because we all know a majority of blacks are in jail - at the same time giving credit to George Bush for this victory.
As always, I try to respect both sides when it comes to a tragedy or a major piece of legislation is accomplished. And I continue to do this until something crazy comes up, and sure enough the craziness is out again.
"It's ironic that Obama is our first black president and now he'll be in Jail as well,"
"Seal Team 6 and Obama should be tried for war crimes for violations of international law,"
"George Bush accomplished what he was set out to do - this is George Bush's victory,"
"We went in, took an unarmed man down in front of his wife, where is the respect? They didn't even give him a chance, they just shot him in the head, pop, pop, pop,"
"Obama invaded a country without permission; this is a crime."
"He (Obama) is worse than Osama bin Laden ever was,"
What's with the "unarmed" quote? Are you people really that stupid? 3000 people were unarmed when the planes hit the two towers, and you want us to give Osama bin Laden a chance to run? Seriously? And the notion that we should try our military men, is beyond crazy. Obviously I can't post everything I listened to on the radio, but during the course of one show a man comes on and says "Obama went in and killed an unarmed man, who's to say he won't go in to Libya and kill Kadahfi? He (Obama) thinks he can just go in and kill whoever he wants, he can kill Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, he can kill any of us now"
Seriously people?
I don't know if you recall but in March of 2002, on the 13th to be exact, George Bush offered the following statement, “I don’t know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don’t care. It’s not that important. It’s not our priority. I am truly not that concerned about him.”
Yet, as you will see in the videos below, President Obama made a campaign promise to capture this evil man. He was going to make sure to let the American people know he was out to find Osama bin Laden, and it didn't matter if he was in Pakistan, he would go in and kill the bastard. At first, he debated his fellow democrats who said it was wrong for him to just go in and kill Osama, and with a scathing response to all of them who voted for the war in Iraq, he gave his answer. In the second video, he corrected John McCain on the issue of the "invasion" of Pakistan.
Answer me this, did we not want Osama bin Laden killed? Dead? Rotting in Hell?
Why are the Republicans spinning this? I know, and most of you do too, this would not be an issue had it been any other person but a black man running our country - this is a sure bet.
If this letter doesn't change you, or move you, I don't know what else will. On my knees and crossing my heart to the God who brought me into this world, this letter is the damn-awful truth! If you're a Republican this is directed at you, If you hate Obama, this is meant to describe you, and if you're considering to vote for any of the presidential candidates currently running, let this open letter help change your mind. 
You like war. You like torture. You like Jesus. I don't know how in the hell any of that is compatible, but no one ever accused you haters of being over-committed to ideological consistency. You like people who look like you or at least hate most of the things that you hate. You hate everything else.
Well, here are the facts, Jack. If you hate the Government then you are unqualified to manage it. If you hate gay people more than you love America than you should take your own advice and get the hell out. There are several countries that are openly hostile to gay people, but they are full of brown people and you don't like them much either from what I understand. It looks like you are screwed, but that's not what I am here to tell you.
I worry about people sometimes; Really, I do. Sometimes I worry about them so much, I think they lack the intellect to hold a smart conversation. Keep in mind, this is only certain people. As most of my readers know, I have loved politics for as long as I can remember. Hell, I even held a mock election when I was in college, and everyone in the dormitory had fun participating in it. Well, almost everyone. haha, It was fun nonetheless.
On the way home from work on Tuesday, I had the pleasure of listening to Randi Rhodes. If you've never heard of her, you should. She is one of the smartest women I know. She tells it like it is, and doesn't hold back. I've learned a lot from her, and you could too. In either case, she had a caller on Tuesday who, I swear, was the dumbest person I had ever heard. Not only was he a bigot, but he had this fascination that Bush was the greatest President this country had ever had. Really. No, Really.
"He could denounce the Democratic party, run on a Republican ticket come 2012, put Sarah Palin as his VP nominee, promise to uphold an anti-gay, anti-abortion, anti-environmental, anti-immigration, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-church and state, pro-ultra conservative stance on all issues and obtain plastic surgery skin grafts to make himself more....white....and they still won't adore him."
