Mitt Romney the Plastic Puppet

 

Have you  noticed how people watching a tennis match, head constantly turns left to right and right to left following the tennis ball as it goes back and forth between the players?  Well, that's how I feel whenever I hear Mitt Romney tell Americans where he stands on issues.  Because the problem is he changes where he stands on issues like the weather and lies. 

 

Romney has a habit of being indecisive when it comes to where he stands.  And there is a little war button in the Oval Office that I don't think I'd want to trust him with because he is too fickle. In addition, he's just a little too anxious to go to war with certain foreign countries and views war as an opportunity.  Well, war is not an opportunity.  It is filled with blood shed and is unfortunate because young people lose their lives, limbs, and minds!

 

For Romney to have been a successful business man, he sure does have a  problem with basic Arithmetic.  Because last time I did a math problem, if you subtract 47 from 100, it leaves 53, NOT 100.  I understand that the methods in doing math have changed somewhat, but the answers to the problems haven't.  The answers still remain the same.  Maybe, Mitt means that the Republican Party intends to scrub 47% from the voter registration list.  Sorta has me wondering if he was one of those students that paid someone to do his schoolwork.  How can we trust him?  We know without a doubt that he has a habit of stretching the truth a mile long. 

 

Don't be fooled by his sudden revised 47% story to 100%.  Romney wants to bring in a serfdom system!  He wants to model Americas' labor force after China. With Romney it's about spreadsheets and accountant ledgers and the profits.  He does not care about all Americans having affordable health care, or food on the table, or shelter.  Romney is strictly about profits and profits only.  He cannot relate to an average ordinary citizen because he has been catered to and waited on all his life.  I doubt if he wipes his own ass. 

 

I don't care how  Republicans try to rig the vote with voter suppression. President Barack Obama will be re-elected!  There are still many seniors,  in the black community that were delivered by midwifes, especially in rural areas due to poverty and Jim Crow.  For most of them, the census, bible, and church records serve as their birth certificate.  Before the Civil Rights Movement, hospitals did not exactly have an open arms policy towards minorities in the south or north and denied blacks admission.  Many blacks used home remedies for whatever ailed them.

It is important that we help get those people registered to vote.  What you can do to help:

 

Provide transportation to those who have none.

 

Get the word out that it is important that they vote because much is at stake.

 

Make sure you vote.

Hide Without Seek!

I sure hope when the Presidential debates take place that one of the commentators will ask Romney why he erased computer hard drives that were the State government property when he left the governor's office in Mass. And $97,000 sure was an awful lot of money to spend on making sure they were wiped clean. What did he have on them that he didn't want anyone to see?

The computers sold to his staff  ONLY raised my eyebrow a little bit too. Let's see he doesn't want to show his tax returns, erased computer hard drives that were the State's government property when he left the governor's office in Mass, and appears to be a habitual liar. Sneaky+liar+destroying evidence + something to hide = crooked as the crooked road in San Francisco. Smh!

Hmmm...you know his wife mentioned he cooked a Thanksgiving Dinner in her speech. Well, I call that a fowl cooked by a foul because it's some foul incidents that make Romney seem a little bit on the shady side. I wonder did he wash the foul. He likes to play hide and seek, but without the seek part a little bit too much for granny's taste.

Y'all know my spiritual eye is telling me that something, something ain't right like Keith Sweat use to say. I'm just saying! Those speeches he and his wife gave, well, they were just a little too plastic for me. For a minute, I started shivering like I was sitting down at the North Pole instead of in my bed trying to listen to their speech. His and her speech lacked warmth and seemed well...phoney.

Zimmerman's attorney is subpoenaing Trayvon's school records on their quest to make Martin out of a thug.  Nothing new there.  It is just as much as part of America's history as apple pie and war.  The only thing that has changed is the label rapist to thug.  Whenever murder involves a black victim, stereotype labels are thrown in to justify murder.  Murder of black folks is justifiable, but murder of any of group of people is not.

Tricks Are For Kids

I haven't blogged in a few months for various reasons.  However, today I felt like exercising my rights to freedom of speech.  Does anyone remember back in 2011 of May when I wrote this  topic?    I was reminded of it when Clint Eastwood spoke at the RNC and illustrated my point regarding the President being invisible to them when he spoke to an invisible President in an empty chair.

Did Clint call the President Mr.?  I guess calling him Mr. Obama instead of boy is what the Republicans consider progress. Those on the right have a very bad habit of addressing him as Obama and Mr.  Nevertheless, it is so disrespectful that those folks on the right insist on not addressing him as President Obama or Mr. President as they did all of the Presidents before him who were white.  After all, he does hold the highest office in America and whether they like it or not he is America's Commander in Chief and President.

For the last few months, I've been keeping up with the Trayvon Martin case.  His case is just as important right now as the coming elections.  The reason being that if Zimmerman gets away with his cold blooded act of murder, it sets the stage for copycats to surely follow and innocent young black males to be labeled thug as an excuse to kill them at random and get away with it.  All black males are not thugs.  Neither was Trayvon! 

Nevertheless, check out the video above that is a reenactment with a written argument following each scene which; challenges everything Zimmerman claims and then check out this one too. 


BTW, First Lady Michelle Obama gave an excellent speech last night.  And Lily Ledbetter gave a heartfelt speech that was moving as well.  All of the speeches given last night were great!  One thing Mitt Romney did right was picking his VP.  Yep, they're a perfect match because both of them are skilled in lying and revisionist.

Anyway, stay tuned, I'm not promising topics on a regular basis because I've been babysitting my two year old great-granddaughter who is full of energy and wears me out by the end of the day.  Yet, she is a bundle of joy and I enjoy watching her grow.

Mr. and Mrs. Sleazy and Greedy Folks,

Well, I wonder how many folks are free of debt that donated to George Zimmerman.    Mr. and Mrs. Sleazy are free of debt and have plans of living large once Zimmerman gets out of jail.  Yep, Mr. and Mrs. Sleazy do nothave a care in the world according to transcripts of their jail conversations.  Everything is all under control and according to them; it’s a cinch that he’ll go free.  Alrighty!

Thanks to all of Zimmerman’s generous monetary donors Mr. and Mrs. Sleazy have paid off all their bills and have plans to move into a six bedroom home, buy a couple of cars, and live large for the rest of their lives.   Included in the list of things to buy were some bullet proof vests for Mr. and Mrs. Sleazy and their Attorney.  Yep, he played his donors like a piano. 

Apparently, Mr. and Mrs. Sleazy got it all mapped out.  Nowadays, it is rewarding to kill an unarmed young black male at least that is Zimmerman’s way of thinking.   People like him love that “Stand Your Ground Law,” which in reality apparently means kill a black person, because it and gets them out of jail free.  It is a means of justification.  However, the law does not apply if it is a black person when they feel their life is threatened.

Mr. Sleazy even had plans to buy Mrs. Sleazy a scarf out the deal.  How generous of him.  Mrs. Sleazy went to jail behind her hubby’s game plan and to show his appreciation he wants to buy her a scarf.  Wow!  I hate to be the one to tell Mrs. Sleazy, but that is cheap. I mean since perjury in Florida is a felony and I do not know too many states that let you get or keep a nursing license with a felony, but that’s Florida we’re talking about.  They’re a little abnormal down in Florida.

The Republican Congress has their heart set on starving the poor.  They want to cut billions from the foodstamp program.  But what they won't tell you is how Banks and big corporations made a killing off of foodstamps.  Why does the Republican party fail to acknowledge that real "Welfare Queens" are Corporations and Banks?

Kill A Black Male Season!

Apparently, in America white supremacist have decided that Blacks need to be annihilated.  The "Stand Your Ground Law" has become their method of annihilation.  This law does not benefit Black people. It only benefits whites.  We know that without a doubt because Marissa Alexander was sentenced to twenty years in prison for shooting in a wall.  Yet no one was killed.

The SYG law has given whites legal license to kill innocent and unarmed Blacks.  First, it was Trayvon Martin, a few days ago it was a thirteen year old kid taking in the garbage.  Kijuan Byrd, 29 was  shot in the back and the guard is claiming the SYG law.    The guard has been arrested. Without a doubt, the SYG law needs to be reviewed and abolished. 

The SYG law was made to induce fear in the Black community.  Well, I don't know if is inducing any fear, but it sure is pissing a lot of Black folks off.  These incidents to cease and stop! I'm mighty afraid that something bad is gonna to happen, if folks don't put a halt to these SYG killings.  Ice melts and so does steel.

Another lynching has taken place.  Only this lynching is a replica dummy of the President of the United States of America by the same lunatic so-called Pastor that burned the Korans that endangered our soldiers lives overseas. This false teacher needs to be jailed for threatening the life of a President.

"More importantly, under United States Code Title 18, Section 871, threatening the President of the United States is a class D felony. It consists of knowingly and willfully mailing or otherwise making “any threat to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict bodily harm upon the President of the United States.”~~Kirsten West Savali, NewOne~~ 

"The controversial Terry Jones says “Hang ‘Em High”! Get Obama out of office as he is killing America! .”~~Kirsten West Savali, NewOne~~  

Oh, I forgot, the President is Black and arresting this so-called preacher for threatening the life of the POTUS only counts and is serious if the President is white.  I'm noticing a trend here in America called double standard in the so-called land of LIBERTY and JUSTICE for all.

I don't know what god those on the right serve, but it sure is not I AM that I AM, Almighty God!  Nope!  Theirs is a strange religion! 

And I don't know what bible this Pastor studys, but I can assure you that it is not the King James Version.  Nor is it anything that I've learned in Bible College or at church. If this Pastor came to my church,  my Pastor would more than likely invite him up front so he could be delivered from his hate demons.

I guarantee you he wouldn't be invited to sit up in the pulpit as a visiting Pastor at my church.  Nope, my Pastor don't play that!  I don't care what church you pastor over, if you not right, that invitation will not be extended or offered or even suggested.

Justifications, Stereotypes, Vigilantes and Thirteen Year Old Bites The Dust

It has gotten to the place that no Black child is safe in America.  I take that back.  No Black child is safe in America.  As a matter fact, no Black person has ever been safe in America. Being black in America means that on a daily basis, we have take extraordinary measures just to survive.

Seventy-five year old John Henry Spooner killed Darius Simmons a thirteen year old boy.  Spooner accused Simmons of burgarizing his home and stealing his guns.  However, when the burglary took place, Simmons was in school.  Spooner assumed that Simmons was the thief.  Simmons and his family had only lived next door to Spooner for 29 days.  His mother said she called herself moving into a better neighborhood.  Now, she mourns the lost of her child thinking that she was moving into a safer neighborhood.

However, it did not just get like this.  It has always been this way.  Dr. Robert Persley & Hasan A. Sharif once wrote in their book Why Men of Color Are An "Endangered Species" in America that men of color have an invisible bull's eye on their back and don't even know it.  But I disagree with them, Black males know it and so do Black females. 

Black people know that they can be murdered and that the justice scales will tip in favor of the murderer if he is white.  In addition, Black people are aware that if they become a victim or a perpetrator that their whole family tree all the way back to when their first ancestor set foot on American soil will be investigated. 

Anything negative in their background regardless to how minor it may have been will be magnified to make them out of the culprit instead of the victim. We are aware that if a Black person has a clean slate that people will come forth and make stuff up to smear them because Black people are not allowed to have a clean slate in America.  Black is always seen as evil and bad!  History has taught us that!

So my question is this, why do we even bother to try and seek justice in America?  Apparently, murdering our Black youths seems to be an agenda.  Innocent young Black children are being killed and the only legal recourse for their demise is justification for their demise as in the case of Trayvon Martin.

Our youths are automatically labeled thugs because of what they wear although it wouldn't matter what they wear.  As far back as the early 1900s, Blacks males wore suits, slacks, and shirts, but that did not stop them from being labeled thugs--scary black males and brute beast or being murdered with justification. 

Being a Black woman in America, when I read about incidents like this, I think about my own grandsons and son and I pray for their safety.  My grandsons and son are decent law-abiding Black males.  However, the color of their skin has become a burden for me because their safety in America is a serious issue.  It has become an issue that is not being solved, but seems to be getting worse and only a justification.

Even my daughters, granddaughters, and my own safety is of concern.  Often I pray that none of my family becomes a justification like I've observed many other Blacks whose lives have been taken such as Oscar Grant or Sean Bell or many others whose skin is a darker hue.  The other day, I read about and wrote about a pregnant Black female being kicked in the stomach by a police officer.  I read the comments in a police forum comment section and here is an example of some of them:

"Hit that bitch so hard someone else shit themself.. Epic..." ~~Duece~~

"Obviously she's looking for her payday.. and she'll get it...twice over." ~~Mtc High Priestess~~

"Further - Merconium in the amniotic fluid is common - and quite frankly - if this welfare leech was inclined to endanger her meal ticket to attack police over her shitstain brother being arrested - who's to say she didn't get into a fight with someone else? Babydaddy's other babymamma?"~~Mtc High Priestess~~

Bullman says that Wheeler, at the advice of his supervisor, arrested Dozier because he would "need to be justified" for kicking a pregnant woman if "something were to happen to the baby."~~Rightwing Liberal~~

Black communities have their share of bad actors just like all other communities.  We also have decent human beings that live in the Black community that are seeking a better life and the American dream. However, when someone in our community does something bad the whole Black community is painted with a broad brush that is unjust and unfair to those who are decent and law-abiding.

The Black community has some good decent kids, church folks, college students, students, working class folks, and professionals as well.  However, those people are overlooked, ignored, and lumped in a barrel with the bad seeds among us. That's what is scary! It makes all Black people possible justifications and stereotypes.
