HOPELESS!

Where did the hope go? I am writing this today after being absent for a while because I feel betrayed. I worked for this Democratic party. I raised money last year on the streets, and I knocked on doors. I told people that once we had a majority in congress that we would change this country, and then candidate Obama made it clear that we needed change. He asked me and every American to have hope for the future, and I did.

Now, a year after the knocking on doors and raising money for the Democrats I have become an unintentional liar. The health care reform, that was so important back then has been reduced to nothing thanks to a bunch of spineless or otherwise bought out democrats, and a leader who refuses to do just that... lead. We (liberals) wanted a single payer system which in fairness the President never promised, but we were willing to settle for a public option. Something that Mr. Obama said as recently as last month was necessary to keep insurance companies honest. Now due to lies and fake outrage from republicans, the public option seems to be almost out of the picture.

What is the President afraid of? Poll numbers? the reason over 50 percent of people disapprove his handling of health care is because that number includes people like me who think he should be leading. What was the point of voting for a bunch of cowards who would not stand up for the people? Why did we call the republicans corrupt just to replace them with these corrupt democrats? I for one am ready to say this. If there is no public health option in this "health care reform package, then I promise, never, ever, ever to vote for another democrat so long as I live. I think you the reader should do the same. And by that, I do not mean vote republican. I mean stand up and go to another party. The Green party needs people, and the way the democrats are acting we will need a liberal party in this country.

Gay Marriage Recognition in DC: A Step in the Right Direction

The DC Council has taken the first step in the right direction when it comes to gay marriage. Of course recognition is only a first step. Equal rights should be the ultimate goal. Standing in the way of that goal however are former crack head and current tax evader Marion Barry, as well as the National Organization for Marriage (with their new pet, the very topless Carrie Prejean, AKA Miss California, AKA the dumb chick from that Miss USA thing). Oh and a bunch black of churches, more on them later.

Marion Barry has some nerve, he said he is a friend of the gay community. Does he mean like a slave owner is a friend to the slaves because he does not beat them with a rod, but still will not see them as equal? Mr Barry, seeing someone on the street and smiling does not make you their friend. Going to bat for them when they are being ganged up on, even when it is not something that will keep you employed does.

The National Organization for Marriage in their website has a picture of a watch, and the very creative line... that's right, you guessed it "not in my watch". Isn't that what racists in the south used to say about school integration in the 50's and 60's? Then Bimbo in Chief Prejean says her position is not discriminatory... excuse me, but isn't saying that someone can't do something you CAN do because they are different than you the very definition of discrimination? I don't expect Prejean to understand that as it involves thinking... not her forte.

That brings me to the black churches. Those hypocrites, those charlatans. Those people who have felt what discrimination does to an entire community, and now they themselves discriminate. How dare they try to hurt an entire group of people over differences like looks or sexual orientation? Then the cowards hide behind the bible to excuse their own immoral behavior. Did you not read the bible? It condones in fact encourages slavery. Yeah that was wrong, but the gay part... right on. You, the ones that have felt discrimination, have no business discriminating against others. How dare you?

Miss CA: 'I'm Going To Do Whatever It Takes To Protect Marriage.' Lauer: Some Compare You To Palin

Carrie Prejean, the second place winner in the Miss USA pageant is going all out in what she calls a "non discriminatory position". Miss Prejean, when you tell people that you can do something, while other people can't that is called discrimination. It was the case when black men could not marry white women. That was discrimination as well. Do you not see that you claiming rights and denying it to other people is the same thing that people in the south did when they said black people could not ride in the front of the bus?

Perhaps you are a dumb bimbo after all

Quit Bugging Michael Phelps

As I have stated in this blog before, I do not smoke weed, I don't even smoke cigarettes. But I seem to be the only one in America who does not give a crap about Phelps smoking it. It is not like it is a performance enhancement drug. If anything he should get another medal, because weed makes you lazy and hungry which makes you fat. Both things which he is not. Maybe Phelps smoking it will be the end of all the pot myths out there.

Legalize it
