politics

I am brushing off the dust of this blog to see if I will continue blogging...?!?

I find now that I teach I have a number of venues to throw out all sorts of my ideas and see if they actually work. I just got to love students :)

so what is it that makes me want to talk again. Politics.

I have been fascinated with this campaign...absolutely fascinated! I will disclose I am and have become a fan of Obama. His words are inspirational! He speaks of a future that I can believe in again.

What a waste of thumbs that are opposable
To make machines that are disposable
And sell them to seagulls flying in circles
Around one big right wing

Yes, the left wing was broken long ago
By the slingshot of cointelpro
And now it's so hard to have faith in anything

Especially your next bold move
Or the next thing you're gonna need to prove to yourself

Even the skeptic can think our country can be a leader ...one to help to see the world and believe it can be not on the road of the apocalypse, but peace. For the first time I don't believe Ani's words: and I wonder who's gonna be president, tweedle dum or tweedle dummer?

The issue.

Hillary. She has been the leading candidate...the perceived future of the Democratic Party. But here lies the problem. Why are we desperate to crown yet another member of the feuding ruling parties of the bushs and Clinton? I as a 34 year old man have lived merely 6 years without either family being in the white house?!?

Then there is the crying....she is single-handily taking the woman's movement back years. Whether it is the man keeping her down, or the breakdown of the stress, how are we supposed to believe she can operate beyond this pandering? Reagan revealed the presidency as acting, pulling off masterfully the beauty of the lines. She represents to me the loss of the substance of American politics. But hey...she has 50cent's endorsement.

Lastly, the article above lays out two very important points...she is running on the fact that she has the experience. But does she?

Questions about Hillary's role in the Clinton administration, and about Bill's business and philanthropic ventures since he left office, are not just fair but necessary.

Why won't the Clintons speed up the release of White House papers that would let us see what kind of
authority Hillary Clinton enjoyed? Who donated how much to the Clinton presidential library, and might those donors expect anything from a Hillary Clinton administration? What business tycoons have snuggled up to the former president, and what -- other than the chance to bask in the radiance of his wit-- did they hope to get out of the exercise?

So how should we use experience...when she only allows us to see certain parts of her history?

I am tired of all the reasons I am supposed to vote for this person or that person. abortion, gay rights, crime, war, torture, taxes, programs...etc. all of these single divisive issues...more about tearing the nation apart than uniting.

It is time for the UNITING issues to be heard.
