It is really sad when older Black Americans are telling me that they are hearing comments from main-stream media, that they haven't heard since the 50s and 60s. What's worse is that a lot of them are saying President Obama is our generation's Martin Luther King Jr. Under more desirable circumstances, this would be a compliment, or a positive comparison. However, they are making that association to refer to the negative energy, and tone in America before and during the Civil Rights Movement. Now, there is this Tea Party. Am I the only one who sees that this is a way to express racist ideologies, and opinions, and hide behind a so-called movement that is supposed to seek out and support real change? Tom Tancredo said that America should bring back Literacy Testing in order to register to vote!
The Obama administration is under a microscope! Pres. Obama can't stop to tie his shoe, without it being major news on CNN! FoxNews will say he's not tying his shoe properly, and will find a way to convince their loyal conservative fan-base that this is somehow leading to the failure of their beloved country.
When I register to vote, I think I'm leaning more toward being an independent. There is no issue that I am completely to the right or left on. How can anyone be 100% conservative, or 100% liberal on every issue facing this country. Our Senators and Congress Men and Women are obviously not. They can't agree on anything-even in their own parties! Well, the Republicans seem to have a collective agenda: "Take Obama down, no matter what it takes!"
It seems like comedian Lewis Black was right when he said the Democratic Party is the party of NO IDEAS, and the Republican Party is the party of BAD IDEAS.
I really wish that I had more to choose from. THIS COUNTRY REALLY NEEDS 4 OR 5 PROMINENT POLITICAL PARTIES. It may seem crazy, but I think that it would actually force current politicians to be more honest.
