What will he do just to get a headline?  Well he’ll label everyone who disagrees with Obama as a racist for starters.  And the Democrats are eating it up I’m sure.  Another distraction from the real issues.  Another red herring to distract us from the barracuda sneaking up behind us.

Frankly Americans should not only be embarrassed by such behaviour, particularly from a previous president of our great nation, but they should be angry.   Every white American that voted for Obama or any politician of color should be particularly angry.  “White” Americans have been put in one of two boxes and both involve the so-called “race” debate.  You voted against someone of color because of their color, not their qualifications or lack there of.  Or you voted for someone of color because you want to offer reparations to the colored community and felt guilt over the history of our “race’s” involvement in slavery in this country.

Of course, you probably thought you were voting for them because you thought they were qualified or liked what they said, but you didn’t.  Well, at least, that is what people like Carter and others in the media and Democratic party have implied.  And heaven forbid if you voted for him and now don’t support him.  Your sudden change of imind is not because of his policies or lack of leadership ability. It defnitely has to be racial, didn’t you know that?

The liberal elites don’t need a defense for their unswavering support of Obama or other black leaders.  Their support is because they have risen above the race debate, but that only applies to the liberal elite of this country (I guess that is why they can so succintly ignore or demonize other black candidates that are conservatice rather than liberal).  The rest of us are still mired down in the bog of racial tension and misunderstandings.  Convenient, isn’t it.  Because no matter which way you lean, either for or against, your persuasion will be made racial.

Of course, you see, the real problem is that we use the word “race” anyway.  It is lovely fodder for those who want to stir up dissent and as long as we all continue to feed out of the trough of racial ideology, they will continue to supply plenty of fodder to distract us from the real issues.

The idea of different races is faulty because we are all the same race, Human.  We didn’t evolve at different times and our differences are not so much biological as social.  We have different outside appearances, phenotype (i.e. skin color, eye color, hair), but we all work the same way and carry the same basic genetic structure, genotype (granted I am presenting a very simplistic view of it here).  We all had a common ancestor, not several that sprouted up at different times and in different places.

People have, over time, decided to choose two of the most observable differences, skin color and gender,  and use them to divide us and decide quality. People will always find a way to divide other people into groups, to segregate people.  It is human nature to try and put one group above another.  Some countries use caste systems, some use skin color, some use the region where people were born, some use gender, and so forth and so on.

The racial division should be the most offensive one though, because it simply is not true and is an arbitrary distinction based on a few phenotypical characteristics.  What’s worse is that people on both sides of the discrimination feed it.  The ones being discriminated against don’t stand up and say, “Hey, wait a minute, we are all humans, so we are all equal by defalt.”  Instead, they choose to defend this racial division and try to “prove” themselves equal or better.  Why?  Because if you can prove your “race” is “better,” then you can claim genetic superiority, not just superiority because of phenotypical differences.

So, we will never move past racial division because people on both sides have no desire to.  It actually works in their favor no matter how you look at it and when you have a card like race to play, why give it up for plain old ethnic differences and genetic isolation back a couple thousand years?  White politicians, like Carter, use it to elevate themselves and get support, colored communities use it to get special treatment and perhaps someday “prove” they are the superior race because then you have geentics backing you, and others use it to “prove” they are actually superior.

Unfortunately, for those of us who don’t make our judgements based on skin pigments, we are stuck somewhere in the middle.   Maybe we are actually the most discriminated against in all this because everyone calls us liars or wants to hush us so we don’t ruin their game.  As long as I am white I will be called a racist if I disagree with someone with darker skin than me because it works to their advantage.  And for the black person who decides to side with someone considered “white,” they will be rejected as a traitor to their “race” and considered a brainwashed ninny or worse yet, “one of them.”

So don’t hold your breath waiting for this great joining together of the “races.”  As long as one side has something to gain from the division, it will never go away.  So the most I can do is call out these liberal elites and tell them “You Lie,” because when it is all said and done, they will do whatever they want anyway as long as it gets them the power they want.  The House, Senate, and Media censured the silent majority before they ever spoke out.

This is in response to the way his office behaved today when I called to tell them I opposed a bill (and no, I didn’t go into a tirade, I simply said I opposed it):

Senator Kaufman,

I called your office today to voice my oposition to S.909, the Matthew Shepherd Hate Crimes Bill, and was disappointed by the response.  Instead of duly noting my oposition to the bill and determining where I was from and passing my concerns along, they promptly tried to supply me with propaganda in support of the bill.  I have also received unsolicited propaganda e-mails from your office.

Let’s get a few things straight:

1) You work for your constituents.  If I oppose something it is my right to do so and your job to listen to that opposition.  You are not in office because the people of Delaware need you to form opinions or ideals for them.  You are there to represent Delawarians, your employers.  Some will agree with you and some will disagree.

2) Unfortunately, you are technically a duly appointed representative of the governor, not the people of Delaware, because we did not elect you to office.  Whether I would have voted for or against you is moot because I was not given that opportunity.  I consider you to be in that position illegitimately no matter what anyone says.  Biden did this state a disservice by not withdrawing from the senate race and the governor has done this state a disservice by appointing a senator that we did not even get to vote on.

3) I don’t really care if you are a big supporter or backer of something I am opposed to.  Just because you support it and I oppose it does not make you right.  My opposition is founded in my own research and value system.  You do not have to agree with those beliefs or ideas, but as a representative you must duly note that your constituents may not support everything or anything that you do.  I am offended that rather than note my opposition you would choose to ignore it.  If your constituents overwhelmingly disagree or agree with a piece of legislation, then it is your job to uphold your constituents’ choice, not do whatever you want despite them.

While I’m voicing opposition, take note that I also do not support the “cap and trade” bill or government run healthcare either.  They are disastrous for the people of this country.  I’m sure you have stacks of propaganda as to why you support the further destruction of this country under the guise of somehow helping everyone, but I am not interested.

Take note that I am undeclared because I see the party system as failed system and I do not align myself with any politician simply because of what party they belong to. I support those who uphold the constitution and the freedoms guaranteed to this great nation through our founding documents.  If you oppose those ideals or support legislation that is in opposition to those ideals, then you do not have my support.

It astounds me that the fiscal irresponsibility of the government is trying to be turned into a one sided political concern, i.e. just conservatives or just Republicans.  Those who tout themselves as liberal and want to put down the Tea Parties are either benefiting from our government’s irresponsible spending, very naive, or simply very callous.

The Tea Parties are for everyone because the government’s out of control spending doesn’t just affect conservative people or moderates or liberals.  It affects us all.  This isn’t about your political leaning.  This is about your future, your children’s future, and your grandchildren’s future. I do not ally myself with any political party and never have.  And more people need to care a lot less about what political party they belong to and more about what the politicians are actually doing. Unfortunately most people can’t or don’t want to see past the ends of their noses.

I would wager, though, that many of those who are belittling these Tea Parties are much like those who were in the King’s pocket at the time of the original Tea Party in Boston.  They would have been very much against that Tea Party, as well, because it threatened their meal ticket, i.e. their tie to the monarchy.

Of course people want to ignore these Tea Parties or dismiss them as conservative nonsense because they too are in the King’s pocket.  They would lose their meal ticket if the citizens of this country are successful at making their voices heard and actually changing things.  And if they can convince people that all of this is nonsense and just an attempt at imposing ultra-conservative values on everyone by a strictly conservative movement, these Benedict Arnold’s will have succeeded at not only keeping their meal ticket, but at keeping us enslaved to a large Government, similar to that which our forefathers fought to free us from, that makes sure their loyal subjects are well supplied with our hard-earned dollars.  This is still a fight for our independence.

I have been silent far too long. I may be a day late and a dollar short, but I will issue my warning before the final day of this three ring circus everyone calls an election. It should be no surprise we are in an economic downturn. We have been driven like cattle to this point. Elected officials have been allowed to run rampant. And now, many of us are losing our jobs and homes. We are tired and hungry. We are vulnerable. We are easy pickings for the elitists that pretend to care. The elitists whose only goal is total control of this country and our lives. They are the ones taking us back to the dark ages.

We have become easy prey for the very forces and ideologies our founding fathers fought against and gave their lives escaping from. They knew the answer was not Marxism, or fascism, or a dictatorship, or a monarchy, or socialism, or communism. Why? Because those very things were what they were escaping from. They knew the answer was not big government. They knew, from experience that some things come at too high a cost. We now must realize these lessons before it is too late. We are at a crossroads and must make a choice between the freedom or founding fathers and many since then have died to give us or a hand out.

Our nation has become like Esau. Esau, for those who don’t know, is from the Old Testament. Whether you believe inGod or teh Bible is really irrelevant to this story because it is about a man who give up everything for one bowl of stew. A man on the cusp of a great inheritance, great wealth, and, in one moment of weakness, he throws it all away because he wanted something right then and there. He is an example to the Christian of one who did not have faith that God would provide for him in his time of need. He is an example to all of us of the foolishness of such a decision. I am sure many of you would say I would never sell my birthright for a bowl of stew. That is really dumb. But you are getting ready to do it now.

Our nation is at the same point. Will we give up our rights for one handout? We are standing at a threshold. We can choose to tough it out and keep our birthright; the right to be independent, to be free, to not fear persecution from the government for our many different beliefs, to better our lives, the freedom to fail, the freedom to succeed, and the freedom to live our lives without a group of elitists telling us how. Or, we can choose to give all that up for one meager handout that we will pay back for the rest of our lives and our children’s lives and our grand children’s lives in blood, sweat, and tears. We will give up the right to have a say in our government and the ability to better ourselves through our own hard work.

The saddest part of this is that we will all suffer for the wrong decision even if we didn’t all support that decision. We will all be subjected to tyranny even if we didn’t want them in power. We will all be carried down the wrong path because a few misguided people will choose a handout over the very ideals that our Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and Bill of Rights guarantee us and which ideals created and sustained our nation to the greatness we have all benefited from today.  The warning will go unheeded for now, for it is human nature to repeat their mistakes.   But when you all look back and ask why, just remember that you were warned.

Imagine a several ton rooster sitting outside your window in the morning. Scary thought, isn’t it, or you could open your own fried chicken restaurant. But our ever illustrious scientific community wants you to believe that chickens and T-Rex are related, matter of fact they want you to think that chickens descended from dinosaurs. Amazingly, this latest claim is due to the now accepted reality that soft tissue has been found in supposedly the most improbable of places, a T-Rex fossil.

It really astounds me that people really don’t get how limited scientific observation and inquiry is. As some have said, a scientist proposes a hypothesis and then sets out to test it. I really don’t care if you believe in Evolution, Intelligent Design, Theistic Evolution, Progressive Creationism, the Gap Theory, or Young Earth Creationism because everybody has to start with some assumptions (yes, assumptions, not facts) about the past. The person who believes the world is millions of years old or 6,000 years old is actually limited to what they observe today. We were not there when the Earth was formed and no scientist can provide ‘proof’ or solid ‘evidence’ that certain assumptions about the past are factual. They create models and theories based off of modern observation, i.e. they are basing the earth’s weather patterns off a mere couple hundred years or less of actual weather observation. That is hardly good science in my book, yet time and time again everyone is in a rush to be the first one to be published and accuracy and adequate sample size is neglected in the rush.

A boy is suspended from school for getting a phone call from his dad, who is currently serving in Iraq. A very inflamatory story and one with all the making of sensational news. One poster brought up a good point, though, this article is lacking in definites and is, exactly that, sensational. But it also brings out another concern. When did parents lose the right to parent their children, including contacting them when necessary? People will make mistakes, take advantage of things, and misuse privileges, but regulating every aspect of our lives does only one thing: makes it incredibly difficult for the ones who are doing the right thing.

I am really astounded (not) by the vitriolic attitude of the atheist and evolutionary circles. Now, I have to wonder what they are so afraid of. I for one plan to see the film and make my own judgments as to how good a job Mr. Stein does in bringing this long standing controversy to light. Do I believe there is a problem with ‘Big Science’? Yes, I do, and I can speak from experience, as can my husband. Denying a problem doesn’t make it go away.

I have lived here since I was 5. My Mother was born and raised here and her parents moved here in the 1920’s. Three generations of our family have called this town home. Three generations graduated from CR high school. And three generations have seen this area change from a rural, affordable, close-knit community to an expensive, highbrowed suburb of Dover.
