you're better off with Eastwood

I've finally calmed down from watching the Republican National Convention and it is sad to say, the person that lied and contradicted himself the least was talking to an imaginary person.  Yeah, i'll say it again, the most honest person at the RNC was rambling and talking to an empty chair. 

There is something wrong with a party that truly believes that God wants Americans to be better off than every other country in the world.  We thin we are the chosen people.  Its like were turning into Israel 2.0.

There is something wrong with a party that truly believes that they're not rich enough when they are the richest collection of people in the world.

There is something wrong with a party that thinks if that they trot out enough tokens, they will magically convince us all that they are inclusive.

The thing I'm not sure about is if they think we're stupid enough to believe them or do they actually believe some of the trash they spew.  I miss Sarah Palin.  She was an idiot but you could tell she believed the crap she was saying.  You can't tell what Mitt Romney is actually thinking about anything.  I know he thinks that getting rich people even richer is a good thing but he doesn't even have a comprehensive plan to make it happen.  Oh, he'll cut their taxes but they pay the lowest tax rates anyway.  Also, how the hell do you criticize people for running up the debt but you continually promote military action which is the biggest waste of money you can have... outside of an election of course.  The whole republican platform is to spend money over seas and cut taxes.  That is how we got into debt in the first freaking place!

Clint Eastwood did offer one solid piece, though.  It is alright to make a change.  There is nothing fundamentally wrong with voting for who you like, ask Bill Clinton, but you really should have a BETTER option before you start leaning on that message.

Does a better option have a Swiss bank account?  Do we want a president that openly hides money in tax shelters?  That's just ridiculous.

Don't tell that to republicans though.  They are nothing if not dedicated to the cause.  They don't care about rationality or reality and it really is sad that they rely so heavily on zealotry.  Love them or not, they are a good percentage of the country.

It is symbolic that Clint would talk to an empty chair.  Republicans only seem to debate against words they put in people's mouths anyway.  The real question is, how long will it be before Americans get fed up with this silliness?

I wish I was a super hero.  Even at this age I have delusions of saving people that far too often don't want to be saved. Seriously, how many stupid people can one city have?  That's not even counting all the people with Confederate flags on their cars or worse, Mitt Romney bumper stickers.  Those people just need to be slapped.  There are people in this city that still think drive by shootings are viable options to settling disputes that started on facebook... Fucking FACEBOOK.  Shooting these people would be counter productive and hypocritical but I do think someone should at least make an attempt to turn these people into useful members of society.  When that doesn't work, beat those assholes into submission.  Brutality worked during slavery and that had zero moral grounding.  I support routine beatings of people that obviously deserve it. First example: Sexual predators.  Something ridiculous, like 1 in 4 women are sexually ass...

Maury must be stopped. No one has profited more from Black people being ignorant than he.   I know the old saying: “Mama’s baby, Papa’s maybe.” But, contrary to popular belief, Black men love their children.   Everyone loves children.   Even if Black men realize that they aren’t bringing much to a household, they know that there is magic there.   That magic might be scary, like all magic, but it’s there.   There isn’t much difference between the love that develops between a man and a child with his D.N.A.   and a man that a child that he has raised. I am my father’s son.   No, I’m not light skinned or a hustler, but I laugh when I hear something funny.   I’ll sit on a porch and dink liquor all Saturday morning.   My toes are extraordinarily long (just like his).   I will see a beautiful woman and take notice just because I am a man and that’s what a man does.   My dad raised me well. When you see a Black man on Maury, y...

Uncle Tom is Back!!!!

and that nigga must be stopped! There has been a rash of Black Men in the last few years that have surged ahead in the fight to bring back right wing America.  It started with Clarence Thomas.  He scraped and bowed his way all the way to the Supreme Court.  We thought that was bad back in the day but oh no, it was only the beginning of the new black right wing. I should back up.  Black America has been inherently Conservative for a long time.  The reason being is that the Black church, the community's traditional leader, is inherently conservative.  Most of our leaders have come from the church and so stand against things like homosexuality, pre-marital sex and the right to an abortion. Luckily, most black people realized that right wing politics and conservative beliefs don't usually end well for the Black community.  By the mid '60s, the republican party had virtually abandoned Black voters so we migrated to the democratic party.  The dems...
