It took a shooting in Alexandria, Virginia yesterday for the
Democrats and Republicans to realize things have been moving, in this country,
in the wrong direction for way too long and to put a call out for unity. I am
amazed since this is what many United States Citizens have been calling for
since the last administration.
During the Obama administration we watched a country that
was moving forward in their civil rights movement, although I will admit, there
were times it seemed to some that we were moving slowly, take a turn and step
back in time more than thirty years. President Obama should have shown this
country’s people of color, there is nothing we can’t do, as long as we do it
together, in unity because America truly is the greatest nation in the world.
Yet that is not how his two terms in office went. We had our
first African American President, actually he is American with African decent
if we are to say it properly since we are all American first and where ever our
ancestors come from last, in office and he should have been able to pull this
country together tighter and stronger than it ever was. He should have been
able to help those of color improve their communities, build up what is not
working, run out the garbage that is bringing crime into the area, encourage
the children to set goals and move towards them instead of allowing the
struggles of life to pull and keep them down. He should have been able to do
that but he didn’t.
During his time in office we watched this country step back
into the late 1950’s into the 1960’s as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. fought to
bring equality to all people of color. His name is symbolic to the civil rights
movement in this country because without him and his determination to make life
better for his family and community perhaps there wouldn’t have been this turn
around that we all witnessed over the years and an even stronger unity in this
country as we all opened our eyes and realized we can’t be the United States of
America if all citizens are not treated equal.
I worked the voting polls in my town when President Obama
first ran for office. The turnout was amazing, people were voting who never
voted before but for the wrong reason, they were voting to make history. No one
cared if he had the experience it would take to run the office, to lead this country
into a brighter tomorrow. No, they only cared about the color of his skin. Now
I will grant you it was about time we had a President of color or even a female
President but to pick someone on those basis isn’t doing this country any good
as it has been proven over his eight years in office.
I know I just pissed off a lot of people but let’s look at
the facts at hand. During his time in office when he should have been standing
with the police and working for the people of this great nation no matter what
their color, he stood out in front of a movement that divided this country
perhaps more than it ever was. He had the power at hand to stop the chaos and
bring order just by talking to this nation about unity and not about the
difference in our color or cultures but he chose to go that route and in doing
so he was part of what started to undo the seams that Dr. Martin Luther King
Jr. began to sew.
This line of thinking, this rhetoric and hatefulness carried
on throughout his administration and grew strong in the Democratic Party. Oh, I
am not saying the Republicans are innocent in all of this because we all saw
the same Presidential Campaign and we all know about the nasty things being
said about each and every candidate coming from their own party members. Yes,
Donald Trump had a lot to say during this time as well, concerning the other
candidates on the Republican Primary ticket, but it doesn’t make it right.
Let me say this right off the bat, I support President Trump
and one thing I admire about him is what many hate, his ability to say what is
on his mind, no filter, just like you were talking to a friend who would call
you out if you wrong or not being upfront about something. I would rather have
someone like that in office than someone who makes promises in front of you and
then turns around and does the opposite. Oh, I know people are saying he has
done the same because not everything he promised during his campaign has been
done yet but this is where we go back to Congress and realize although the
Republicans control Congress at this point, they still aren’t all working with
the President to get the job done in favor of the American people. Why, because
they don’t like him speaking his mind, for some, they have had their feelings
hurt so instead of looking to see how they can do their job better for America
they have sulked and spoke out against the President causing and even bigger
divide in this nation.
Now it’s been for more than a year Democrats against
Republicans not just on Capitol Hill but all over this great nation from one
shore to the other. My gosh we have families divided, arguing over politics and
religion, gun control laws, and just about everything else you could think of.
We have people attacking citizens in the streets because they are wearing Pro
Trump shirts, women having urine thrown on them because they are marching
against Sharia law in this country governed by its own Constitution, and riots
in the streets every chance the trouble makers get to start one up. Who is
being hurt here people, we are, and at what cost? The cost of our country, our
unity, and our freedoms.
The minds of many stressed out and worried Americans have been
played with in the political arena and mainstream media. They have continued
over the years to press forward with their our rendition of the truth building
up those they felt deserved to be in office and tearing down those who they
felt did not. People in the public eye need to realize the impact they have on
people who do not get their information from anything or any place else. They
listen to the news and believe with all their heart that what they are hearing
is the exact way it was said. Not so as so many of us know. I have said time
and again anyone can give you their opinion, heck I have many times, but it is
up to the individual to fact check any information they are fed or question and
find out the truth because knowledge is the key to fixing what is broken in this
country in so many ways.
We have a President in office who cares about this country
and it shows yet our mainstream media, Hollywood, and so many hate groups that
have popped up in this country to instill hate and violence want everyone to
believe President Donald J. Trump is Anti American and only interested in what
this country can do for him. I don’t know but a President who is willing to do
this job without pay isn’t interested in what this office can do for him. He is
busting his behind to fix the mess we are in and doing without pay and from
some without thanks. It doesn’t matter what he has to say or how he says it,
the mainstream media and those who oppose him spin it in a negative tone and
cause more problems as the days go on.
Never have I seen a candidate get so much air time and not
pay for it. They were so worried Hillary was not a good candidate that they
gave then candidate Trump more air time then they gave her only fueling the
minds of the American people who wanted a change. They wanted to hear someone speak
the truth and talk about what they have been feeling for years and Candidate
Trump did just that and you know how he did it, by meeting with the American
people and actually hearing what they have to say. Not like other candidates
who yes you to death then take their office and do whatever they feel is best
for their own interests. I am not the only American who sees it that way. Take
a look around on social media and see how many Americans are tired of the lies,
tired of the deceit, and tired of government officials who just don’t listen.
All this has been going on, this lying, deceit, ignoring of
the public opinion for way to long and the American people have been begging
for something to be done so in walks President Donald J. Trump on January 20,
2017 with a fresh new outlook and filled with hope and determination to turn
this country around. Guess what folks, our elite government officials didn’t
want to hear what he had to say. They fought him every step of the way. No
matter what he puts forth they want to knock it down before it even gets looked
at. Now we need to start making more demands. We need changes made and not ten
years from now we need things brought up to real life speed and enacted upon
immediately. Congress sits on bills, pushes things around one house to the
other until they fix it to their liking and have hidden in more deceit and lies
within their documents just to get their own agenda passed and they want to
know why the American people do not trust them. Amazing they actually believe
their own lies.
So now there is a shooting aimed directly at the Republican
Party. People are injured and we have a sitting Congressmen in critical condition
who was out on a baseball field practicing to play in a game to benefit a few
different charities. He was out there to help people but the shooter didn’t
care about that because he has been told time and again how the Republican
Party is trying to destroy America.
He has been listening to the hate spewed in
the news, on the streets and all over social media but he was not able to
bounce back after the election. His mind was still in tune with the hate and
there were people out there and still are ready to feed that hate and insight
anyone that will listen into joining in.
Our own Congressmen and women have spoken such hateful words
against this present administration it’s sad because the last administration
notably committed crimes against America and they have been ignored. Hillary
Clinton has a list of crimes she committed yet her followers during the
campaign didn’t want to hear it, not even from the families of the 4 Americans
left to die in Benghazi. So they listened to the lies and accepted them as
truth. Loretta Lynch covered for her and once again it was accepted and if it
went as far as AG Lynch I will venture to say it went as far as the Oval office
but since I am not in government I cannot say so for sure and I will not
speculate. I can only go by the things Obama said directly to us in his own
public appearances. One that sticks out in my mind is the lie about Obamacare
in which it said you can keep your own doctors and it will be affordable for
all. You can’t keep your own doctor and it is only affordable for a few if you
look at the population of this country and realize there are still many who
cannot afford health insurance and to boot are being punished on their taxes
every year for not having it. They are hurting people who need their help, not
helping people who are in need which is why these people have been elected into
office in the first place and we should be holding them responsible. I can list
many things Obama said that can come back and bite him in the butt but we were
all here listening and we can all listen to his words again if we want to truly
educate ourselves but when you do tune into youtube.com or any other form of media
to listen or read his words do so with an opened mind. Listen or read it as if
it is the first time you are hearing it and as if you do not know who he is and
then tell me you think he was doing all he could to help America.
It has taken the attack of the GOP from a gunman in an
opened field leaving 4 people injured and 2 still in critical condition for
Congressmen and women to finally realize this needs to stop. Nancy Pelosi who
has been a top contender in hate speech seems to be finally opening her eyes to
the damage they are doing around this country. I truly hope something so tragic
has a positive outcome and they start actually working together and stop acting
like kindergartners in the playground of life, fighting over everything and
anything they can think of just because the other party thought of it first or
felt it needs to be fixed. That goes on both sides of the fence Republicans and
Democrats need to begin to work together and if they do that then there is hope
for our country to once again to become United and Stand Strong.
I pray for Congressman Scalisi and all other victims of this
attack and their families.
May God Bless America and please help this country Unite
once more.
