  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

  • Punching Above Our Weight
    by Roger Madison Jr. inPolitical on2020-07-24

    I believe our vote is the punctuation of our voice. Without that resounding exclamation mark, I believe our voices are just incoherent noise.

  • Living in a Black No-Man's Land
    by Roger Madison Jr. inOur Community on2019-10-28

    There are many narratives that define the Black experience in America in this 2nd decade of the 21st century. Our striving over the centuries of our sojourn in this nation is a tapestry of every human experience -- oppression, enslavement, forced assimilation, dehumanization, exclusion, segregation, isolation, struggle, perseverance, achievement, excellence, celebration, mourning, despair, progress, setbacks, lynching, assassination, genocide, terror, self-hatred, low esteem, pride,...

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that. Finally I...

Hillary Is Strong?

 


The statement that I keep hearing from media lately is “how strong Hillary Clinton appears to be”; she can lie, cheat and steal with the best of the evil doer, neo cons and that is not what Barack Obama is showing he knows how to do, therefore he must be week.  If America’ s strong leaders are Hillary and McCain, then strong is not what this Republic needs to survive.   We need change.  This is blood lust, a madness that our current president, Bush has got us into and he has been very strong plus he has been wrong enough to get three thousand people killed in the twin towers, and another four thousand solders killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Add to these figures two thousand solder suicides and maybe a million innocent Iraq civilians murdered by our use of deadly force.  If this is what being strong is then no thank you. God bless Barack Obama, because he is not strong and he would have taken a different path. I would rather have someone who is right than strong. Obama was against this war at the beginning but Hillary was not and, had all the strong posturing of Bush through this mistake.  Who cares how Strong Hillary Clinton is? Losers, right wing losers are the only ones who worship strong posturing over clear thinking anyway and that is why so many of them (Republican) are resigning from their congressional seats.  Clearly Barack Obama is walking in the foot steps of Abraham Lincoln on his way to becoming the sixth Black President of the United States of America along side of Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson and Warren G. Harding-according to J.A. Rogers.
