I was typing just now and I somehow hit a key and it erased all of my words. Weird. Anyway, I'll rewrite it. I was driving home the other day and this truck was in front of me and really big vinyl lettering on the back cab window said: "NO SOCIALISM!" Really crazy. I was like what the fuck? Idiot! Ok, we get it, you don't want socialism but do you need to put 1ft letters spelling it out on the back of your truck window? No, I don't think you do.
Socialism is like a bad word... is it the same as communism? I don't friggin' know, I don't know a damn thing about communism, socialism or alcoholism... oh wait, I do know about alcoholism. All I know is that helping people is important. If universal health care is considered socialism then fuck it. Seems like anything this president attempts to do is looked at like he's a communist, Nazi, or just a dumb shit that is screwing everything up. It's astounding to me after having one fucking dumb ass in office for so long that screwed us over so badly these right wing dicks are doing anything they can to call Obama wrong and bad for this country. It just pushes me right back into loving my country and loving being a democrat. I will love it when health care passes and when the economy starts getting back to what it used to be before Bush was in office. This guy has a lot of work to do and we all know it's not going to happen overnight but I'm going to continue to support him and I know, anything he does is better than what Bush did. He's headed in the right direction and hopefully, people will start paying attention. Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity can't stand it. They are going ballistic and really grasping for anything to say that he is taking over our country and stealing our freedom. They are nuts and push idiots to put giant letters on their cars that read "NO SOCIALISM" or "SHOW ME THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE". How stupid.
Speaking of stupid, I'm coaching my son's basketball team and I know not one thing about basketball. That's awesome. I volunteered to be an assistant (thinking I could learn as I go and be really supportive of the coach) well, they sent me a letter saying: "thank you for volunteering to be Head Coach"... huh?... what? Can't get out of it... "there's not enough coaches for your division so can you do it for the kids?" Can we say guilt trip? I'm helping kids... does that make me a "socialist"?

Keeping kids dumb and republican... just how we like 'em
Hello all!
Pathetic... that's what I will use to describe the Right at this moment. I use that a lot to characterize the Rights but this one has it pinned for them. Obama's speech tomorrow. It's directed toward school age children and it's intent is to motivate and stimulate children about education. To give children thoughts about how important it is to stay in school and how a good education can help them have a better future. I mean I probably shouldn't assume so much. Maybe he plans on hypnotizing American children and turning them into future socialists. He's probably got some subliminal messages he's planning to throw in there and splash millisecond photos of Sponge Bob Square Pants smoking crack on the street corner and then standing in line to get free health care to get himself off drugs. I mean it's ridiculous to think and hear that some parents are considering to not allow their children to go to school because the schools plan on playing the speech in class. My daughter's middle school called with a message tonight stating if we didn't want our child to listen to the speech, to send a note and she could sit in a room where the speech won't be on. I wonder how many kids will be in that room, more than we think I'm sure. That's really friggin horrible in my opinion. If Bush or Reagan gave a speech about how important school is I wouldn't deny my child the right to hear them out. If Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck gave a speech, I might question the content, but I still would allow them to listen, while I sat beside them and taught them how to heckle appropriately. It's wrong and silly and crazy. He's not a bad guy, he's not any sort of crazy speech giver. He's not a socialist either.
Rushy pants really started a little "war" when he said he wanted Obama to fail. I mean, I really feel like he started the ball rolling and no matter what Obama wants, the right will put every effort into fighting against it. And... ooh this really pisses me off... "we want our America back!"... that is truly pathetic. Obama, as far as I know, hasn't tried to change the constitution, hasn't tried to turn all of America against each other by stating: "your either with us or against us", he hasn't started a stupid war that we can't possibly win, he didn't try to run the country using Jesus as his main adviser and he hasn't taken the country away from Americans. The town hall meetings are more proof of how ignorant people are about this administration. I thought "tea-bagging" was nutty... these town hall meetings are insane. Whose the guy that said he was going to take his gun to Washington. Did anyone else hear about that? Isn't that like a threat and illegal or no? I mean come on! Then a few days ago I hear some clown say a handicapped person should not be allowed to speak before him. Am I just hearing bits and pieces? Am I being told only sound bytes from the media. Is this a "liberal media" doing it's job at only showing the crazy people or is this shit really happening?
Now, shouldn't we be happy about this health care thing? Especially the poor people right? I understand Glenn and Rush not wanting it, they probably have really good insurance for themselves and their family and could care less but some of these toothless people in the town hall meetings that are screaming out about how wrong this health care thing is just baffles me. It's a little confusing. It's not as if no other country has done this. It's not like we haven't seen universal health care actually work. I mean WTF? I guess we will have to see what happens.
I really hate to say this, and maybe I'm way off base but when I see some of these people who are so adamantly against Obama, I have to wonder if it's because he's black. I really hope that's not the case but so many people call him "our Kenyan President" and so many tweets read "show me the birth certificate". I even saw a bumper sticker here in my town asking for a birth certificate. It's sad and scary but I think that might be a lot of it. I mean, obviously I love Obama but I don't agree with everything. I mean I am concerned about some things going on in Washington, I don't think the man is perfect, but really, not letting your children hear his speech, wishing he would fail, questioning his citizenship and comparing him to Hitler. That's hateful. As much as a fuck up as I think George W. Bush was, I never compared him to Hitler (Dick Cheney to Satan but not Hitler), but maybe it's not a racist thing. Some racists think Hitler is a hero so, maybe I'm wrong. I don't know, I don't want to go there, too touchy just yet. In any event I am appalled that some parents are so ignorant they actually think that Obama is some crazy communist and plans on brainwashing our children to become black or Kenyan or socialists. If my kid wants to be black, more power to him...
