In a predominately Democratic state, California, in Democrat-dominate city, Los Angeles, I voted for president, but not for the black candidate -and you shouldn’t have either.
I watched the televised speech in Grant Park, Chicago after enough votes counted to declare election over –candidate -elected to office. I saw laughing, weeping, dancing, hollering celebration -in small towns and big cities across US.
Then I saw the used-to-be funny actress one on the “View” -get emotional -because the black candidate was voted into office. Nauseating.
Best way to go???
Reporters -newspaper, magazine, TV, radio, and bobble-heads who blather on TV for a living, blathered on about the first woman candidate, then the second, ad nausea; ignored, gave barest minimum -worm’s eye view -deep discovery coverage of hair -clothes -eye glasses -shoes -cars, houses -facial expression of other candidates, while they slanted their reports, because they were for the black one. Gotcha ‘journalism’ at its lowest.
Issues -Topics -Debate of Solutions –not on –for them.
I read: 68 million supposedly-functioning Americans found it important -watched televised karaoke and “voted” for the last “American Idol.”
Where it Really Mattered
If you voted for the black candidate for president: you were no better than the ‘Idol’ worshipers; as wrong as the so-called reporters and the bobble-heads.
If you voted against the black candidate: you were wrong -as wrong as the so-called reporters, the bobble-heads, and the sobber on the “View” set.
Eight years ago the not-very-bright Americans: marked their ballot for the one “most wanted to have a beer with” for president of the United States. They had slim evidence for choosing the supposed-drinking mate, but they did it anyway.
He promptly divided states -Americans -world. He ordered Americans’ blood and treasure to be squandered to go get oil -to help oily boys –indifferent to manufacturing -workers -infrastructure -middle-class -unemployed -wounded -thirsty, stranded -uneducated -unsheltered -to regulations -law -international relations. Hundreds of thousands of lives have been crushed, destroyed on his orders, to help his pals. Intended consequences….
Americans -country -world twisted nearly out of recognition ever since.
Humans were tortured -in our name…America despised by the world…good ol’ beer-loving boy flapped his gums -fear tactics and promises he never intended to keep, flew out of his lying lips.
Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans –Wall Street -Main Street -nearly every residential street -public school -VA hospital -pension -wallet Because of him. THAT should have taught Americans: NOT to choose on the artifice of appearance, but: “…on the content of… character.” Didn’t you learn?
If you chose the black one: how will you help the community -the family, the country –what will you say if his presidency is utter failure of the current one? Your reason no wiser than the reporters and the bobble-heads and the Idol-worshippers. You chose for the worst of reasons -no reason at all.
If you chose by the color of his skin: you used no better judgment than those who used ‘beer buddy’ “logic.” You chose: nothing at all to hang onto if it all goes wrong.
What will you -we do then….
Poet Maya Angelou was asked what she had to say after election. She said: “Thank you” -to the one just elected. He was elected: by 59 64+ million votes, across 50 states. Total black people in America: about 40 million. How about thanking: “America” for his election?
Oprah -Tavis Smiley -Will Smith -Spike Lee -commentators, others: verbalized his election in ways that have nothing whatever to do with the person Americans selected.
Majority of Americans: did not vote for the ‘black one’ -didn’t choose him because he is black -or ’say’ “black” is: now acceptable/our thing/right time or any thing about being black. Americans: not into ‘victim’-hood.
The Decider –decided to usurp illegal power, illegally –committed crimes against humanity –signed ’signing’ statements -chose which laws he would obey –now runs around our House, Clueless. –Couldn’t decide to do a thing for People -homeowners -workers -middle-class or even his used/abused ‘base.’ Government: failed us. The rich: got richer. What color is that?
We said “Enough” to stolen rights -land -water -mineral rights -throwing nation’s Guard out of the nation into oil-protection racket -to endangering species; Gitmo -torture -signing statements -to swaying in sewage -swinging from state to state searching for a job -to bridges to Nowhere –with choice of president.
If any thing: Americans, non-black ones, voted in spite of/indifferent to him being black -because, mostly, we think he can be trusted -can stop the hemorrhaging -mortgage mess -Wall Street weasels, planet destruction, banking boobs, put Penta-goons in their place. –Stop the gouging -the greed -the hollowing out of the lives they all feast on to fuel their fat pay days.
We don’t need stupid corn in the car -corrosive coal -cute contracts -Conflict.
We didn’t pull the lever -punch -press -call -knock -walk to make a group feel better. We marked the ballot next to the name: we hope isn’t the incompetent dumb semi-illiterate one.
We want -Tiny carbon footprints -Quality job -Affordable medicine, insurance, groceries -More harmony, Less war -Solutions.
We said ‘No’ -we don’t want any more Decider –debt -destruction -death. We want things colored Green, not ‘black.’
Not FOR
Not going to shop till I drop -look the other way when the coffins arrive -tolerate Fox Noise, dividing the Internet or my country into the ‘Haves’ and the ‘Way Don’t’ -help giant fat cats and corporations and “religious” wing-nuts suck the life and the rights and the money.
I am not going to put up with any more perverted twisting of ideals, laws, judges, rules –privacy –Constitution, Bill of Rights. -I didn’t vote for the black one.
I don’t want zealots dragging their religion into my government -allowed to push it -around the world on the money they raise to get inside the Oval Office.
Neither am I merely going to watch: bleeding-hearts shove their agenda, because of money they donated. -I didn’t vote for the Black one.
‘Special’ deals -madeinto law –or un-regulated -because the pusher has the price of admission -or the right race –to enter doors the rest of us cannot enter -NOT what I voted For.
The Nation’s Representatives
I want the voted-in to represent ALL, without my checkbook or yours, for the Common good, of all of us. I want smart –rules that once made a more-perfect Union -not usury rates, reporters who giggle, bloated CEOs who shaft people.
When -oily boys testify they are doing R & D on “new” fuels that ‘qualify’ for 18 billion bucks of OUR money, but never create alternative fuel -CEOs show up for work and walk out the door with $9 million “reward” eleven days later -nation’s parks -mountain tops -rivers get used to line the pockets of the ‘chosen’ few on contracts written by their insider pals -working person at the bottom of pyramid scheme qualifies for Food Stamps: we don’t need a Black one.
We want the one: willing to put brains and diplomacy and skill, knowledge, passion -guts, on the line -to fix that which has gone so hideously wrong. That was the only reason to choose him.
We need qualified ‘architects’ -who Listen, give a damn -about All of us.
100 Days –GARBAGE Me -I voted –to un-divide Americans and the rest of the world, however long that takes. I voted for the best candidate, not the black candidate.
I didn’t vote for black. –Don’t make me sorry I chose him -Americans did not choose him to trade bias of money for: partisanship of race.
daVine remedy…
Me -I voted for the smartest one in the room -nearly any room, to fix money melt-down, look out for the planet and the least among us –restore balance.
I chose the one I hope will make government of the people, by the people: for the people. If it doesn’t happen: I will be all over him like white on rice. -That’s my job -and yours. Don’t divide. YOU didn’t vote for black either.
