]]> Comment on Obama, McCain Meet Without Preconditions by Juventus http://emergentink.com/2008/10/29/obama-mccain-meet-without-preconditions/#comment-565 Juventus Thu, 30 Oct 2008 05:25:10 +0000 http://emergentink.com/?p=408#comment-565 Wow, these candidates have shown they are so gifted in this “dance throw down”; I just truly hope they bring this spirit and vibe to the White House, respect. Just a quick update date on my end, (not that anyone gives a flying fig) but I think I’m changing my vote!!! Shock, horror and dismay, I know, I know, who cares, right? Searching the Internet as I do, I came across this unique, organic, grimy and gritty; individual that stopped me dead in my tracks. He caused me great soul searching and serious introspective, more confused then before; I had only one question for this particular third candidate/McCain spoiler. What the heck do your undergarments look like after all these years? Take a look and you’ll see why I may change my vote. I feel other fruit loops in our town might change and embrace… this extraordinary man? His tax plan, a pure gem, I think it could work. His heath care plans, extremely non-evasive, breaking edge, I’d say. Lets embrace… this extraordinary man? Go Joad Cressbeckler!! http://www.theonion.com/content/video/old_grizzled_third_party?utm_source=embedded_video *Disclaimer: Paul’s videos of late have caused me great muscle spasms (with laughter). I’m hoping he has one too. ** In a good way. *** I’m not paying the hospital bill.

]]> Comment on Spreading the Wealth by Juventus http://emergentink.com/2008/10/22/spreading-the-wealth/#comment-556 Juventus Fri, 24 Oct 2008 03:17:59 +0000 http://emergentink.com/?p=395#comment-556 Admittedly, I did have a naughty chuckle reading this particular article on “ Spreading the Wealth” I had images of Sarah Palin with marbles in her mouth, a la Professor Higgins and in high school with foreign students, for a speed ESL skills course. All that money on cloths, wow, it’s really sad, it makes me really wonder where have our priorities gone? Did the RNC or whomever, feel we needed to see her in a particular way more conducive to appropriate VP attire? I know this much to be true, last week before I went to work. I always make sure I see my little boy is on his school bus, and off I zoom to work. A family has moved into our neighborhood due to lost jobs and a defaulted mortgage and bad luck with health issues. They now stay with a great grandmother. This child waits with my child for the school bus, it’s been cold of late and I always bundle up my lovely son, way too much and way too tight. As I looked at this particular child I noticed they had no coat, no gloves or warm hat. They mentioned some of their clothing items had been lost in their hasty move. My heart hit the floor; I felt a sick pain in my pit of my stomach, of such sadness and sheer despair. Rushing into my home I remembered I had a huge bag of my daughters cloths, with a great Gap pink heavy warm coat and just enough gloves and hats for a good couple of years. We sell most of our children’s cloths to a consignment store, much to my son’s chagrin, he hates to part with “his stuff’ but heck, you want that video game, well you better contribute, tough love, or just life lessons, you can decide. My point is not my martyrdom, but here on my road in our town in our America, people are suffering and it hurts, not because I’m a bleeding heart, but because we should care. Did keeping up with the Joneses cost America? Wanting instant gratification and not being able to pay it back. Lack of conservatism and true family values lost on the way, I have no idea. I know this much, seeing a VP candidate pay $150,000 for cloths sends America the wrong message. Greed and excess is not good, those days are gone and if our Government sends us the same message that it’s ok, well I guess were due for more of the same. “Common sense is not so common” by Voltaire, one of my favorite quotes.

]]> Comment on Colin Powell Endorses Barack Obama by Juventus http://emergentink.com/2008/10/19/colin-powell-endorses-barack-obama/#comment-554 Juventus Mon, 20 Oct 2008 13:22:24 +0000 http://emergentink.com/?p=387#comment-554 I have often wondered if it truly matters if you're a Liberal or Conservative, black or white, Muslim or Jew, I could go on. Labels can cause misjudgments and allow people to stereotype someone’s integrity and love for their town or country. I do believe people have a right to express what they feel and think; sometimes these words may be opposed to what you may feel to be truly decent and appropriate. Observing, John McCain and Sarah Palin question who Barack Obama is, because of a past connection, has caused me unease. Their recent campaign tactics became increasingly tainted in nature. Some of the crowds have shown that they have some issues with Barack Obama being a terrorist a Muslim and feel he may be unpatriotic because of this. We know he’s not a terrorist and he practices Christian beliefs, loves his country, but what if he was a Muslim? Would this truly matter? Yesterday, Colin Powell, a man that I had hoped would run for President someday, gave his endorsement to Barack Obama. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_NMZv6Vfh8 This gave me hope that perhaps people’s ideas could be about to change. Meaning, a wide range of endorsements from all political areas can only help unify America’s current party conditions. The most powerful part of his endorsement, for me, happened at the very end in which he spoke about an American hero. This American solider happens to be a Muslim and died for our country fighting in Iraq, his name was Kareem Rashad Sultan Khan. Here is the photo Powell made reference to. http://s361.photobucket.com/albums/oo52/NavyBlueWife/?action=view&current=080929_slideshowplaton16_p465.jpg Maybe someday more American people will view diversity and different cultures with more acceptance and compassion, and towards the world in general. Even our new President, whoever he is will have to foster this hope and tolerance for the human race. There has been enough division for too long. Perhaps leaving a doctrine of compassion and breaking divisions for good would be an excellent start. It’s time for a change, a different prospective with fresh ideas and great hope. All American children, even the downtrodden and destitute ones are entitled to this, lets make this voting year a reality for them and not just a dream.
