Remember the color-coded terrorism advisory scale created by a Homeland Security Presidential directive in response to the 9/11 attacks?
Remember when Bush and Company said they were sending our sons and daughters to Iraq and Afghanistan to fight-them-there-so-we-don't-have-to-fight-them-here?
Does Terra Lert brown mean run, or run and hide?
Are your Ducks taped?
The response to President Obama's special task force headed by Vice President Joe Biden to create proposals to decrease gun violence proved to be an economic stimulus for gun dealers/manufactures. The proposed recommendations produced calls for a Gun Appreciation Day to send a loud an clear message to Congress and President Obama to keep your "hands off my guns",. Ironically, this event will be held on the same day we celebrate the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr, who was shot and killed by a single .30 bullet fired from a Remington 760 Gamemaster rifle while fighting for non violent social change.
Waive your rights while waving your guns! YeeHaw!!
Next month, the Supreme Court will take up a challenge to the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the most effective law of its kind in the history of the United States. A century after the Civil War, the act, in abolishing many forms of discrimination employed by the Southern states, such as poll taxes and literacy tests, finally turned the legal right for African-Americans in those states to vote into an actual right to vote. Bipartisan congressional majorities have reauthorized the law four times, most recently in 2006. (It passed the House overwhelmingly and the Senate unanimously, and was signed into law by George W. Bush.) The question now is whether the Supreme Court will strike down the Voting Rights Act as a violation of states’ rights.
Psst! Mr. President Obama sir, you know you are doing something wrong when Joe Scarborough, and the mainstream media, of all people, accuses you having too many white men in the White House. I don't know why anyone is surprised women and minorities need not apply for high level positions with the Romney, I mean Obama, administration. I knew when the white, I mean right wing media made candidate Obama renounce, reject and repudiate Reverend Jeremiah Wright, poor black folks, not to be confused with rich black folks, were going to get left behind.
And they want us to sing God Bless America?
No! No! No! God Help America.
No! No! No! God Help America.
Gun violence saturates our children’s lives and relentlessly threatens them every day. It has romped through their playgrounds; invaded their birthday parties; terrorized their Head Start classrooms, child care centers, and schools; frolicked down the streets they walk to and from school; danced through their school buses; waited at the red light and bus stop; lurked behind trees; run them down on the corner; shot them through their bedroom windows, on their front porches, and in their neighborhoods.
