hate mail.

i just like to complain i guess...but this is another message i got as a result of my comments on this yahoo story...

so i am in no way trying to trash this person, so i will leave off the name (not a friend)...i just take issue with her attitude towards things. this is my problem with liberals. they are just too damn soft.

below is the message she sent me...

All the hoopla about it I thought I would listen to it to see if it was going to be racist, political & if they were even going to bring up Dr. King & to my surprise they did! It wasnt racist & Dr. King's niece was there to preach & reiterate what MLK said so many years ago. It was nice to hear, kinda sad there was all this negativity around it, even i listened to it with a negative bais waiting for something political.

so here is what i take issue with...

the lack of education about the world around us.

the media, and our somewhat lazy attitude about hearing "negative news" has people so disillusioned that they only pay attention now to "see what happens", but not really to be informed about anything. maybe if the news is mostly negative, you might want to pay attention.

glenn beck and sarah palin make a living off selling fear, all day every day. but today, they turn out and show a little love, and all of a sudden the hippy crew is thinking "maybe they are not so bad after all."

so what, because they show some love, and since MLK's niece was there, we should respect what they did?

its a joke.

below is what i replied to her.

(everyone is gonna think i'm a dick, haha)

hi.

to be honest, i didn't listen to any of it or watch any coverage. i think glenn beck is a fake, and regardless if he had some sort sponsorship for the thing, i think its a bit silly.

he and sarah palin, regardless if they show this occasional lighter side, what they stand for is dangerous to this country.

it was a stunt, and without knowing where you stand politically, so forgive me if i offend, none of it is genuine in my opinion.

i think what you will see is this whole spectacle turn into a debate on how "if a muslim group wants to build a mosque at ground zero, then surely there is nothing wrong with a peaceful white protest on mlk day. and look how well "our" protest went, there was no hate!

right.

lets also not mention how much time and energy beck spends on fanning the flames about issues of race, and reverse racism -- and then to come out and be this new advocate, with sarah palin?

im not fooled so easily. sorry.

i love the message of equal rights, but for them to be the ones leaning on this new message, when clearly so many of them cant even grasp the concept of equal rights outside of race and skin color (forget sexual orientation, age, or handicapped), it kind of offends me.

you live a life of a good person. you dont scare a nation and then come in like youre not so bad after all.

iran

so in the news there are reports of iran bombing villages in northern iraq. what happens if iran where to send a military into iraq? its not like iraq has a real army, and the one they do have is barely holding itself together. iraqs military force is the united states. who has the responsibility of defending iraq? with hundreds of billions of our tax money invested in the war there is no way the united states wont flex its muscle. if iran goes into iraq we will no longer be in a war of choice. its a war of necessity if iran is purposely blowing things up near american "peace keeping" soldiers. maybe thats the whole point of this war. i think the united states is picking a fight. war! war! war!

for profit.

these conservatives, republicans, and "others" (greed mongers) that encourage privatizing our "public" education and instead boost "for profit" charter school trip me out. why do they like to compare what we should be doing to places like "south korea" and "china", and suggest that somehow they have it right on education, and that we should follow the lead. they actually make a case that a class of 100 kids is better than a class of 30, just as long as we pay the teachers more money and invest in a little more training. since when does the unites states strive to be like south korea, or china? no offense to south korea, but for the benefit of making something more profitable, these guys will kick any sense of american pride out the window. whatever happened to patriotism? when did money pass pride as something to admire? they back up their ideas with skewed facts, polls, surveys, etc., and in a lot of instances, just plain lies. the rea...

this blog sort of jumps around, but i like most of its content...

i think as the presidential race unfolds its becoming clear that the race divide in this country is still very present. there is also a great divide in this country when it comes to who has money and who does not. the rich people seem to think all is well with our economy and we are still a strong nation. maybe for those with a couple million in the bank, it probably would be hard to understand the basic needs of the everyday american. i feel that john mccain is a guy that represents so many things that are wrong with our country right now. he is rich, old, son of a military big wig, a former military big wig himself, and white. we is the sort of guy that owns 7 homes and has $100 million in the bank, but wants to run a country where only about 2% of the population can even begin to relate to his way of living. and also a country that is feeling very pinched in the wallet, due in large part to his party’s hot streak of bad economic policies. what does john mccain really have to offer u...
