This should be fun

We have almost made it to the end of another election season, thank God.  This one was another one for the ages.  We got to see Mitt Romney go from beating Barack at a debate to getting beat by Barack at a debate to being Barack at a debate.

We got to see attack ads gone wild which once again made me think that none of these people belong in government.  We even got to see another Black man completely embarass himself during the Republican Primaries.

Here are a few things I have taken away from this dismal display of democracy over the last few months.

1)  Americans are stupid.  Apparently attack ads actually work.  The only reason politicians pay for them is that some people actually believe them.  Seriously, no politician is coming to kill you or take your wife or your job or your gun.  Sure, they'll take your donation so they can lie to you even more over ads but only idiots would do that right?  Wrong.

2)  The rich are shameless.  We can spend a billion dollars on campaign ads while we continually point fingers about who causes poverty in America?  Give me a break.

3)  Mother nature is only a mild nuisance when it comes to American politics.  In reply to Snooki's baby, God decided to drown New Jersey.  His old Testament style heavy handedness stopped the campaigns for all of 3 days.  170 or so people died and now... hardly  even news.

4)  Religious ideologues still have way too much power.  If I have to hear another old white man say that a baby that comes from rape is God's will, I'm going to go Fleece Johnson on one of their asses.  Ok, maybe not but I'll pay somebody else to get the point across.  I digress.  The amount of complete bull shit that comes out of the religious right is astounding yet they still have power in the government.  Think about it.  It is the year 2012 and we are still arguing reproductive rights like this is 1940s Alabama.

5)  Ron Paul isn't as crazy as the alternative.  Ron wants to move to the Gold Standard and implode the entire global economy, which is fucking ridiculous.  Mitt Romney thinks that cutting revenue by 5 billion dollars and increasing spending by 2 could balance the budget... and people believe him (See point number 1).  At least Ron had a plan and didn't simply conclude that it will end in 12 million jobs.

6)  America is a deeply divided place.  I blame this on the media for overplaying our differences in philosophy over decisions we don't even take part in.  The candidates are also to blame for playing in to it.  I don't know why so many people are concerned with Libya when I guarantee you that no more than 30% of Americans can find it on a map.  Most people can't find Afghanistan and we have been at war there for over a decade. (See point number 1)

There is a lot more of course but for now, like the rest of America I'm going to go vote and dink and wait for the apocalypse.  It has been nice blogging to you all during these last days.  Peace and Light to you all.  - Cogito

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...
