the problem or part of the solution sorry folks but on this issue there is no middle ground president elect obama s campaign slogan is change how about letting that change begin with you is it ever too late to do the right thing michelle january 9 2009 categories history media reporting politics uncategorized tags culture education hope justice media news personal politics racism thoughts author michelle2005 comments leave a comment roland burris racism and harry reid for the most part i have not weighted in on the real issue regarding governor blagojevich blago selecting roland burris to fill president obama s senate seat except to note that burris would be a media target and had a some what inflated ego unfortunately i had the unpleasant experience of seeing burris hold an interview where he implied that if the democrats did not allow him to fill the senate seat it would give the appearance of racism being the objective for barring him oh really why that particular suggestion by burris went way beyond the pale granted for blago the appointment of burris has all kinds of wonderful legal defense moves should the time come and blago is prosecuted but for burris that statement is divisive at best and totally unacceptable way before blago picked burris the democrats had as a collective party made it known that anyone blago picked would be unacceptable and i don t recall any democratic leader tacking on the words especially if that person is a black american at the press conference blagojevich brought more trouble including the issue of race to an already florid scandal he announced that he was appointing a successor former illinois attorney general roland burris to barack obama s vacated u s senate seat a move that will continue to roil the political waters in illinois and ensure a continuing distraction for the president elect by naming burris the governor blatantly ignored warnings by senate majority leader harry reid that any blagojevich appointee would not be seated by the senate in fact before burris s selection the media was in agreement now it seems they have decided to follow the path of a racist conspiracy of course the whole affair has caused me to reexamine burris the fact that he would travel down that particular path for his appointment seems to be some what underhanded the implied message is that if burris is not seated he will start a race riot of some sort considering the uncertain times we are going through it is totally unacceptable for any politician to play the race card that is inclusive of chip saltsman to further burris s cause he is now accusing harry reid of being the target of propagating racism sorry but that s just so wrong the fact that david gregory of meet the press thought it necessary to force reid to defend him self against such accusations only showed how shallow gregory is as a reporter that race was not a factor before burris was selected seems to be a forgotten truth in the world of the tv media like starving wolves some of the public is feeding off of this nonsense with a frenzy i can only say that it is with the greatest of pleasure that i do not live in chicago and would find myself stuck with an ego filled race baiting politician such as burris he is not some one i would desire to represent me or my people january 4 2009 categories politics tags blagojevich david gregory harry reid meet the press racism roland burris author chamay0 comments leave a comment bill richardson withdraws from nomination for commerce secretary so the casualties in the obama administration has begun bill richardson withdrew his name for the position of the commerce secretary due to a federal investigation the investigation is trying to determine whether a firm cdr financial products a california firm was awarded lucrative contract from richardson s state due to the firms contributions of 110 000 to three political committees richardson formed as such richardson had no choice but to bow out of the position for commerce secretary if that s a big if richardson was asked to more or less vacate from the position by the obama administration i applaud their effort for making the move swiftly there is more than enough political scandal going on with the governor of illinois blagojevich regarding president obama s senate seat which is currently being marketed in the media as a big enough distraction for the new administration eliminating any further distractions would be the best choice for this new administration now what if richardson had won the democratic nomination for president what if he had became president it is encouraging that president obama did not let this one sleep until the senate hearings what a mess that would have been there is great hope that president obama will continue to weed out any other nominee that could cause a perception of corruption unfortunately for richardson there is just too many crisis on the american plate for this new administration to be fighting right now hence richardson battle of corruption or non corruption will have to be dealt with off the presidential playground so speak it goes without saying that there is no logical reason for the obama administration to start off as badly as the bush administration back in 2001 i m sure the wing nut tribe is experiencing fits of ecstasy over the matter with the unrealistic viewpoint that only democrats are corrupt they tend to forget their own corrupt politicians of course such investigations does leave one to wonder where the hell the feds where when bush and cheney were stumping all over the constitution right into the mud much less where were they regarding cheney s involvement in halliburton i digress what s needed is a little reality corruption is not isolated to party affiliation of course everyone s innocent until proved to be guilty although being proved guilty has never stopped some of our politician for running for seats nor is it a new concept to the american political scene president obama issued the following statement regarding the matter it is with deep regret that i accept governor bill richardson s decision to withdraw his name for nomination as the next secretary of commerce governor richardson is an outstanding public servant and would have brought to the job of commerce secretary and our economic team great insights accumulated through an extraordinary career in federal and state office it is a measure of his willingness to put the nation first that he has removed himself as a candidate for the cabinet in order to avoid any delay in filling this important economic post at this critical time although we must move quickly to fill the void left by governor richardson s decision i look forward to his future service to our country and in my administration january 4 2009 categories politics tags commerce secretary fed investigation nomination president obama richardson author chamay0 comments leave a comment religion and politics a toxic mix this post is a paraphrase of something i had recently read it was the most rational well thought out viewpoint on religion politics i had ever heard it is my desire that after you read this you too will come away with a more logical understanding attempting to mix religion with politics is the wrong way to serve god and the people first because religion is a discipline of faith that has nothing to do with the material needs of a city and country and politics is a science concerned with the objective reality of a people and not with their spiritual beliefs for some christians this may sound like a good idea but for the beneficiaries of this political ruse it is nothing other than good business something that does not necessarily favor the christians voting according to this religious orientation has cost the country more than three trillion dollars in an endless war in iraq the deaths of more then four thousand american soldiers about 1000 more than died in sept 11 and the almost complete collapse of its economy it has cost iraq tens of thousands of lives and the destruction of the country and its future historically one of the causes of the arab nations misfortunes is precisely the mixing of politics and islam they have tried to run their countries with the teachings of mohammad at times administering their faith with political interest which degenerates into an eventual plundering of the public purse and in other instances administering their political interests using the islamic faith which has led to fanaticism and backwardness americans should understand that a politician is not elected as president in order to lead a church or to impart doctrines of faith a politician is elected in order to govern and governing means managing the administrative apparatus of the state to meet the material needs of its citizens while the spiritual leaders of the country are purely religious leaders those who are good christians are not necessarily good at governing and those who govern well are not necessarily good christians i hope that the usa will not fall into the same trap as some of the arab nations it appears that all the bickering back and forth has done exactly what it s intended to accomplish create chaos suspicion and mistrust within our own camp as long as people are caught up with trying to one up each other nothing will change

religion author michelle2005 comments 4 comments the myth of gun control another view on gun control before i dwell into my story let me first state that i do not allow any political party to influence my thoughts especially opinions that i feel are important to me and directly affect me personally i try to use common sense when approaching all issues let me stated also that i am in agreement with the position that both fox news and the republican party has towards gun control even though i am in agreement with them that doesn t mean i believe in their every stance and or position in fact in most cases i find both fox news and the republican party are both full of crap and are in bed together way too much there is a serious need to have a critical discussion regarding gun ownership in the us just because i might agree with the statement a certain media or a political party might make doesn t mean that i am wrong or the issue is receiving fair treatment in my opinion the media is portraying the issue of gun control lopsided and one dimensional taking arms away can only move this nation closer to a dictatorship the picture the media paints is one that generally relays the message that there are no american citizens competent enough to use a gun the exception being in the military or working in law enforcement yes there are tragedies that do involve guns and children i also agree that it shouldn t be happening any death by any means accidental or on purpose is a tragedy however i would like to expose the other side of this issue for a healthy discourse for the reason why having the right to bare arms is necessary there is much debate going on in regard to the second amendment as well as the interpretation of that amendment a little common sense and facts are needed to cut to the chase there are many of unheard laws that people who own guns must abide by unfortunately the laws for gun ownership by far out number the stories the media produces on gun violence most of those whom i have personally come into contact with that own guns own them for one or more of the reasons listed below personal protection shoot as a hobby hunting advocate of the second amendment rights first off we must accept an undeniable fact that guns are not going away any time soon even if guns were banned or the government made owning guns illegal guns will not be going away secondly there will always be unnecessary deaths due to misuse and fools using them in foolish manners compiling more regulation on the lawful use of fire arms is not always the answer today there are gun controls in place that ban convicted felons to use or own a gun in fact there are regulations that ban people convicted of certain misdemeanors from owning guns more regulations are in place to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally unstable there are many places now that ban any weapons on their property you have to be at least 18 years old to own a gun to get a concealed carry permit in ohio for example one must go through a week long class on personal protection and fire arms safety including training at a shooting range then you must complete a detailed application for the sheriff for approval to show how regulations really don t work to this date there is no state in america that allows for a person to own fully automatic weapons but are they used to commit crimes indeed they are for example one must remember the bank robbery in holloywood several years ago and fully automatic weapons were used in the commission of that crime statistics show that there are millions of people owning fully automatic weapons in america the untold story of the failure for controlling the criminal and misuse of guns is evident in the lack of courts to prosecute such cases way too often gun violations are dropped over the preference to prosecute drug convictions the failed war on drugs often takes precedence over crimes committed with guns sentencing is disproportionately heavier for drug charges than for gun violence that is happening on a wide scale and has had no media coverage so would tighter gun controls be affective statistics are against that idea cities in america such as chicago and others have an out right ban on semi automatic and hand guns but in reality crimes committed with guns have spiraled making it harder for the citizens of america to own guns will discourage gun ownership and leave the guns in the hands of only law enforcement and criminals in effect should that become the case law abiding citizens will become either a subject or a victim god help us if the government law enforcement and criminals become the only ones allowed to carry guns if it were not for certain groups who stood up against the evil in this country and carried guns even illegally we might be in worse shape it brings to mind the black panther organization in the 60 s and 70 s i am most glad that they had a hand in fighting the evil of racism against the government and against groups such as the kkk of that day the truth is that hate is still alive it is perpetrated by various local governments and many of the citizens i would ask that the readers of this article use a little common sense when it comes to approaching the important issues regarding gun regulations and gun ownership slanted and opinionated reporting by the mainstream media is running rampant on this particular topic common sense should dictate that gun control is necessary but...
