Dreams from My Father

I have had my head buried in Obama's first book, it is captivating.

His ideology is beautiful. It is honest and human. He highlights his
weakness, and when I take my nose out of this book, things look a little
different.

Then I watch a little news, then I read from different perspectives
on the net. And its shameful.

I hear many charges against Obama.
I hear some of the most shockingly ignorant things come out of peoples mouths.

I stand dumbfounded.

I am glad that I am older and more passive, per se. And by that, I mean,
when I was in my early 20's, I voiced my opinion everywhere I could, solicited or
not. Today, in my 30's I would not only NOT waste my time sharing my opinion
in most circumstances, but I rarely get blazing mad. The election of 92, I'd get
into heated debates with the wacky Vietnam vet dishwasher guy that I worked with.

I see peoples argument, and I see some alot of bullshit with goes hand in hand with
utter laziness.

Argument #1
Who is this Obama? We don't know him!

Well, perhaps, a visit to the library, you could check out a book, that he wrote HIMSELF

Its free!

Look there! A book called :
Barack Obama in His Own Words
or
Barack Obama: What He Believes In - From His Own Works

Makes me a curious, if you were hungry,
and you had to read a book for a bag of groceries to eat,
would you stand on the street and whine about how hungry you were?

Anyway,
my personal ideology has been being looked at critically lately because
I am guiding a 7 year old. I am shaping her mind into a way that will
help her be able to look at her own views critically.

Always question. Always research.

It is easy enough for her to feel whats going on around her, and be in
the ya/nay way.

"Yay, Obama! Nay McCain"

However, I question her. I ask her why she thinks that way, and of course
she is mimicking me in her own 2nd grade way, but I am trying to instill
into her, that I am not cheering. I am listening, reading, thinking, and forming
my OWN opinion. To which she will need to do the same.

I was crawling into bed around 9 last night. I can't believe I have a 9pm
bed time! But, I have my ritual, which consists of opening the window,
putting the fan on high, and seeing how much TV I can stuff into my head.

As much as everyone knows how bad TV is for you, I love to flip through
channels. I love to watch the difference between FoxNews and the rest.
Last night, I saw the most utterly ridiculous thing on Hannity n Colmes.





Keeping us in the dark?

You have the power because you are a citizen?

Higher taxes and less freedom?

The media is HIDING info
it is dangerous for the constitution?

Does this guy KNOW what socialism is?

A tape with 'alot' of information?

I smell horse shit!

I need to find the transcript of this.

Tito needs to read a book, Here is what the Onions thinks!

I am just ranting now, I need to work on some homework,
oh
and by the way...

*Psst! Tito, the GOP really don't like peeps like you!
You are being played, a patsy! Hope they are making it worth
your while!.. .Sucker

Who do you know that makes OVER $250,000?



Ya, no one I know.

So, who are these people crying?
