A blog about nothing in particular. It's not educational or informative (well maybe a little bit?), nor does it use proper grammar/punctuation; but dear gawd, i hope it's entertaining.
Dare I say it? Our country just might be changing for the better with the re-election of Barack Obama and a notably healthy turn in a more liberal, all-inclusive direction away from the formerly oppressive, damaging, nauseatingly repudiating, delusional ideals that were spreading like wild-fire among conservatives.
I've been thinking a lot about our part as citizens in this country and how incredibly apathetic Americans have been for over 50 years. Since then there have been baby steps toward banning together in an organized fashion to initiate change and demand respect, but most attempts fall short of getting people excited and then letting them down. What happened J? However, recently there has been an influx of passionate causes that are no longer sitting down and allowing for "whatever happens happens, man."
The president did speak on Tuesday after an embarrassing amount of opposition from "concerned" adults,insisting Obama was trying to brainwash students.
Did that sound like brainwashing to you?!
I remember a few days before he spoke I was listening to the conservative radio pundits attack Obama for wanting to speak to the children of this nation. "How dare he," They fervently asked, "go into classrooms and speak to our children?" One listener called in to say, "I don't even let my neighbor speak to my kid alone, does he think I'm going to allow this?" Hm. Okay. The Commander in Chief vs. Your Next Door Neighbor. Maybe it's just me,but I think there might be a slight difference between the two people. They were frantic! And of course we all want to give the excuse of ignorance, but we all know there is more lurking under that ignorant facade. So, Obama spoke. He did not push his leftist, socialist agenda, nor did he lure students' minds into signing up for his socialist army. He encouraged them to stay in school and work hard.
I can't help but to bring this up though I vowed in my blog I would not bring up race (how silly!), but it still does affect people, even our dear president. I would like to think that was not the case in this instance, but I guess you never know. There's also an inability in this country to compromise. There are so many strong (and stupid) minds that cannot defer their blazing ideals for a moment to listen to someone else. This goes for both parties.
I'm rambling, there's a point in their somewhere...
Oh and about race, I think people are using it as a crutch to lean on so we don't talk about class in this country. It has come to my attention that talking about class is a lot harder, but I'm not sure why... It's the real problem in this country, but doesn't seem to have a proper platform in our national dialogue.
