I’m amazed at how divided the country really is. People try to act as if it is cohesive and everything is fine…based on what? I’m tired of silly assumptions of what something is. Our country is in the midst of turbulent issues brought upon us by us. To study or simply look at an issue, you have to look at all sides. To deal with things that uniquely affect individuals, you have to hear from those individuals.  A few issues are bothering me. First, a hack radio host/blogger  Barbara Espinosa called the President a monkey. Whether she realizes it or not, she’s calling all black people monkeys, better yet, she’s calling all black Conservatives monkeys too. To add insult to injury, she kept repeating, “I voted for the white guy.” This is the type of stupidity I absolutely HATE. How does this advance the dialogue: it doesn’t. It divides evermore.

My second issue is with journalism vs. blogging. I’m happy to say, I’m a blogger. Libergirl is a trained journalist who has a bachelor’s degree to show for it. Most radio talk show hosts are bloggers posing as journalists. That’s not really a fair critique since blogging is a rather new forum but you understand my point. The big loud mouths don’t have degrees from accredited universities; see there is something to this luck thing.

The third thing bothering me is a letter that a black conservative woman named Dr. Ada Fisher wrote. I don’t have an issue with black conservatives but my one issue with them stems from their wanting to be so accepted that they belittle this man, President Obama. Conservative white presidents have been undermining the office for decades without any outcry from black conservatives about them overstepping the constitution. It seems the thing to do is to trash this guy for political expediency, how did it work out for John Lovitz? Her column almost made me puke, she pointed and threw everything the President’s way. Sometimes it goes to show that simply because you have Dr. at the beginning of your name, you can still be ignorant.

The problem that faces America is a left/right issue. Maybe it is time for us to start a party of the people who respect the rights of individuals. Maybe a Voluntarist Party, that sounds nice but we are going to continue to go on and on as usual. Every four years we hear, “this is the most important election of our time.” As a blogger I have a voice, as every one should have. I also have an opinion; except I’m not so deluded that I believe my opinion is the only one that matters. I have to say, I have no respect for higher up blacks disrespecting this President since they were too cowardly to speak out against their party or is it that they know their place?
