NATIVE AMERICANS DEMAND REPARATIONS, FIRST!

(AMERICA BELONGS TO THE NATIVE AMERICANS)

DEAR READERS, I HAVE RECENTLY RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING LETTER IN OPPOSITION AND RESENTMENT TO MY RECENT ARTICLE COMMENTING ON CONGRESS’S VOTE TO APOLOGIZE FOR THE ENSLAVEMENT OF BLACKS IN THE U.S.   SIGNED, ANDY LOONEY

AUGUST 20, 2008

DEAR ANDY LOONEY,

YOUR RECENT ARTICLE REPORTING THAT CONGRESS WAS EXPRESSING REGRET FOR ENSLAVING BLACKS IN THE U.S.A. SINCE THE LATE 1600’S, RECEIVED OUR QUICK ATTENTION AND FOLLOWING COMPLAINTS:

        I AM, CHIEF RAIN GO AWAY, OF THE PENOBSCOT INDIAN TRIBE OF ORONO, MAINE.   IN BEHALF OF MY TRIBE AND ALL THE NATIVE AMERICAN INDIANS OF THE U.S.A. WE MUST GO ON RECORD AS RESENTING AND CONDEMNING THE ACTS OF CONGRESS TO REGRET THE ENSLAVEMENT OF BLACKS AND KEEPING THEM FROM ENJOYING PLEASURES OF FREEDOM AND EQUALITY IN THE U.S.A.  NOW WE MUST ASK, WHERE ARE OUR REPERATIONS, WHERE IS OUR APOLOGY? 

        WE AMERICAN NATIVE INDIANS NOT ONLY HAVE BEEN DEPRIVED OF OUR FREEDOM AND EQUALITY IN THE U.S.A. SINCE THE LANDING OF THE PILGRIMS AT PLYMOUTH ROCK, IN MASSACHUSETTS, WE HAVE BEEN DEPRIVED OF OUR LAND AND OUR HUNTING AND FISHING GROUNDS.  INDIANS ARE NOT EVEN CONSIDERED CITIZENS OF THE U.S.A. UNDER OUR CONSTITUTION; IN FACT WE WERE SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED TO DATE!

        THIS IS THE THANKS WE RECEIVED FOR SAVING THE LIVES OF THE STARVING PILGRIMS AT PLYMOUTH, THOSE FIRST FEW YEARS PROVIDING THEM WITH OUR FOOD.  THE ONLY THING THEY GAVE US WAS THEIR TERRIBLE DISEASES AND SICKNESSES, WHICH HAVE BEEN A PLAGUE TO US INDIANS ALONG WITH THE WAMPUM THAT MADE OUR BRAIN GO WILD.   THEY PUSHED US FROM OUR CAMPS AND HUNTING GROUNDS, SHOT AND KILLED US LIKE THE WILD ANIMALS IN THE FOREST.  THEY SAT WITH US, SMOKED OUR PEACE PIPE, GAVE US WAMPUM AND TRINKETS, FORCED US TO SIGN TREATIES ONLY TO BREAK THEM AND ENSLAVE US ON RESERVATIONS NOT FIT FOR THE ANIMALS OF THE FOREST.  WE HAVE BEEN DEPRIVED OF OUR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS IN THE GREAT SPIRIT, IN OUR FREEDOM YOU WHITE MEN CHERISH SO MUCH, YOU TOOK OUR LAND (MOTHER EARTH), WHICH WAS FREE FOR EVERYONE, BUILT FENCES TO KEEP US OUT AND DEPRIVED US OF OUR HUNTING AND FISHING GROUNDS.

        WHAT YOU WHITES HAVE DONE TO BLACKS LOOKS PALE TO WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO US, THE NATIVE AMERICAN AND TRUE OWNERS OF ALL THE U.S.A.   WE HAVE BEEN DEPRIVED OUR HOMES, OUR LAND AND OUR WAY OF LIFE AND OUR FREEDOM FOR 400 YEARS.  WE ARE STILL NOT FREE, BUT ARE CONFINED TO INDIAN RESERVATIONS WITHOUT ANY RIGHTS.  WE HAVE FOUGHT BESIDE OUR AMERICAN BROTHERS IN MANY WARS AND PROVED OUR BRAVERY AND EQUALITY, ONLY TO BE CAST ASIDE, TIME AND TIME AGAIN, DEPRIVED OF OUR FREEDOM AND WAY OF LIFE THAT WAS GIVEN TO US BY OUR GREAT SPIRIT.

        THE TIME HAS COME FOR THE U.S.A. GOVERNMENT TO GIVE US OUR FREEDOM BACK AND RELEASE US FROM THIS BONDAGE, GIVE US BACK OUR LAND OUR HUNTING GROUNDS YOU HAVE STOLEN FROM US.  WE ARE TIRED OF LIVING A SEGREGATED LIFE IN POVERTY AND IMPRISONED ON A RESERVATION.   WE ARE TIRED OF LIVING ON PARCELS OF LAND THAT WASN’T WORTH ANYTHING TO YOU WHITE PEOPLE AND WAS NOT FIT FOR HUMAN LIFE OR ANIMALS.  YOU FORCED YOUR WAYS ONTO US, TOLD US WERE WE COULD LIVE AND WHERE WE COULD NOT, WE WERE NOT CHRISTIANS, WE WERE NOT FARMERS, WE PREFERE TO LIVE OFF THE LAND AND FEED OUR FAMILY BY HUNTING AND GATHERING.

        THERE WILL BE NO PEACE IN THE U.S. UNTIL YOU RETURN TO US WHAT WAS STOLEN FROM US, WHICH WE THINK IS STILL RIGHTFULLY OURS.  WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIVE IN FREEDOM ON OUR LAND, FOR IT WAS YOU THAT BROKE THE TREATIES.

        IF YOU AMERICANS WERE MADE TO WALK IN OUR MOCCASINS FOR JUST ONE DAY, YOU WILL REALIZE THE WRONGS YOU HAVE CAUSED US NATIVE INDIANS CONTINUOUSLY SINCE 1620.   SET US FREE, SO WE CAN LIVE IN HARMONY WITH YOU WHITE MEN AND WOMAN.

        AS FOR WHERE THE BLACKS ARE CONCERNED, THEY BELONG IN AFRICA WHERE THEY CAME FROM ALONG WITH BARACK HUSSIEN OBAMA AND HIS FATHER.  THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO RETURN TO KENYA WHERE THE WERE FREE TO LIVE AMONGST THEIR OWN KIND AND NOT MIX WITH US PURE NATIVE AMERICANS.  AFTER ALL, OBAMA’S YOUNGER BROTHER, GEORGE OBAMA, STILL LIVES IN AFRICA, IN HIS HUT-SHANTY; LIVING ON ABOUT ONE DOLLAR A WEEK.

        IF REPARATIONS ARE MADE TO ANYONE, THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO US NATIVE AMERICANS FIRST!  WHERE IS OUR APOLOGY?

        YOURS IN PEACE,

        CHIEF RAIN GO AWAY

         & ASSISTANT CHIEF DARK CLOUD

P.S.  WE HAVE WAITED A LONG TIME FOR ALL YOU WHITE PEOPLE TO SUCCUMB FROM SMOKING THE (HIGHLY TAXED) TOBACCO WE INTRODUCED TO YOU AS A CURSE. 

P.S.S.   YOU WHITE PEOPLE HAVE SCREWED UP THIS COUNTRY AND GOVERNMENT LONG ENOUGH.  YOU SHOULD RETURN IT TO US NATIVE AMERICAN INDIANS WHO KEPT IT IN PERFECT CONDITION FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS AND IN POLITICAL PEACE.  YOU POLITICIANS SPEAK WITH FORKED TONGUE AND ARE LIARS AND CROOKS.  YOU NEED TO BE TRAMPLED ON BY A HERD OF WILD BUFFALO. OH YA, WE JUST REMEMBERED, YOU MANAGED TO KILL MOST OF THEM OFF TOO.

OBAMA HAS NOW MADE THE FATAL BOO-BOO

       WITH ALL THE HOOPLA OVER THE SELECTION OF A VICE PRESIDENTIAL RUNNING MATE, OBAMA DISAPPOINTED ABOUT 50% OF THE DEMOCRATS, BY CHOOSING BIDEN OVER HILLARY CLINTON.   OF COURSE, JOE BIDEN, HAS MORE FOREIGN POLICY CREDENTIALS THAN ANY OTHER DEMOCRAT.   ORDINARILY, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN A NATURAL CHOICE BY OBAMA, WHO LACKS ANY SUCH KNOWLEDGE OR EXPERIENCE, TO BALANCE THE TICKET AND HELP HIM WIN THE ELECTION IN THE FALL.

    WITH NEW CRISES ALMOST DAILY IN IRAQ, OR AFGHANISTAN, OR ISRAEL, LEBANON OR NOW IN GEORGIA WITH THE UNCALLED FOR RUSSIAN INVASION, WE NEED THE BEST MINDS TO SUCCESSFULLY SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS TO HELP REGAIN OUR RESPECT WORLDWIDE.

     HOWEVER, BEFORE YOU CAN WIN AN ELECTION IN NOVEMBER, YOU NEED TO MEND THE DISUNITY IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY CAUSED BY THE VOIDING OF THE DELEGATE VOTES FOR HILLARY IN FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN.   OBAMA BRAZENLY TURNED HIS BACK ON A SOLUTION WHEN HE COULD HAVE UNITED THE PARTY BY ALLOWING THE DISENFRANCHISED VOTES TO COUNT.   AT THAT TIME, OBAMA HAD BOUGHT AND PAID FOR ENOUGH SPECIAL DELEGATE VOTES TO INSURE HIS VICTORY.   HE EVEN ORCHESTRATED A PHONY COMMITTEE MEETING OF THE DNC TO REVIEW THE MATTER AND RELUCTANTLY AWARDED ONE HALF OF THE VOTES BACK TO HILLARY SHE WAS ENTITLED TO IN THE FIRST PLACE, BY THEIR OWN RULES.   THAT MEANT OUR VOTES IN FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN WERE ENTITLED TO ONE HALF THAT OF OTHER DEMOCRATS.    THE VOTERS IN THESE STATES WERE THE INNOCENT PAWNS OF POLITICAL SHENANIGANS BY DEMOCRATIC OR REPUBLICAN BIG WIGS OF THE PARTIES AND NOT THE INNOCENT VOTERS, WHO WERE MADE TO SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES.   

     THESE VOTERS ARE SO INCENSED BY THESE ACTIONS OF THE DNC AND OBAMA THAT MANY OF THEM INTEND TO GET EVEN IN THE ONLY MEANS LEFT TO THEM LEGALLY.   THAT IS TO GIVE OUR VOTE IN PROTEST TO ANYONE, BUT OBAMA IN RETALIATION.    OF COURSE SOME VOTERS, ABOUT 25 %, CANNOT MAKE THEMSELVES LEAVE THE PARTY AND THEY WILL VOTE LIKE SHEEP AS THEY HAVE IN THE PAST, WHOMEVER IS THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE.    SOME VOTERS ALSO ABOUT 25% WILL STAY HOME AND NOT VOTE IN DISGUST.    ANOTHER 25% ARE SO EMOTIONALLY MOVED BY THIS DENIAL OF THEIR VOTES THAT THEY INTEND TO VOTE FOR JOHN MCCAIN.    THAT LEAVES ABOUT 25% UNDECIDED VOTERS WHO, IN ALL PROBABILITY, WILL BE SPLIT EVENLY BETWEEN THE THREE CHOICES.  N THIS MEANS THAT OBAMA WILL LOSE AT LEAST 25% OF THE DEMOCRATIC VOTES HE WOULD ORDINARILY DEPEND ON FOR A VICTORY.    THAT FIGURE EQUATES TO ABOUT FIVE MILLION VOTES, AN INSURMOUNTABLE OBSTACLE EVEN FOR A DEMOCRAT WHO ORDINARILY WOULD WIN IN THIS ELECTION YEAR.     MOST VOTERS ARE TIRED OF THE LAST EIGHT YEARS OF A BUSH PRESIDENCY, WITH THE RESULTING ECONOMIC RECESSION.     

      IF HE HAD, INSTEAD, PICKED HILLARY CLINTON AS HIS VICE PRESIDENTIAL CHOICE, THERE WAS A VERY GOOD CHANCE THOSE CLINTON VOTERS WOULD BE DRAWN BACK TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.    HE THEN COULD ALSO GIVE UPLIFT TO MOST WOMEN IN THIS COUNTRY WHO HAVE BEEN TREATED AND FELT LIKE SECOND-CLASS CITIZENS SINCE THE DAYS OF   ADAM AND EVE.

      THOSE DISENCHANTED AND ANGRY VOTERS FIND IT EASY TO CONNECT WITH JOHN MCCAIN BECAUSE HE IS A REAL HERO THAT ENDURED MORE THAN FIVE YEARS OF TORTURE AT THE HANDS OF HIS VIETNAM CAPTIVES.    HE HAS DEMONSTRATED AN ATTRACTIVE MAVERICK TREND THAT HAS ALIENATED MANY REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS WITH HIS ATTEMPTS TO STOP PORK BARREL SPENDING AND PASS ELECTION REFORM LEGISLATION WITH THE HELP OF SOME OF HIS DEMOCRATIC FRIENDS ACROSS THE AISLE IN CONGRESS.   HE HAS MAINTAINED THAT SPIRIT OF COOPERATION WITH THE OTHER PARTY MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, SOMETHING THAT IS VITALLY NEEDED THESE DAYS TO GET THE LEGISLATION PASSED TO HELP ALL AMERICANS.

    MCCAIN HAS ACTED MORE LIKE AN AMERICAN IN THIS REGARD THAN ALL OTHER MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AND LESS LIKE A PARTY MEMBER.  HE WAS RIGHT ABOUT THE SURGE IN IRAQ, WHEN MOST OF US WERE AGAINST IT, AND VOTED IN 2004 TO BRING OUR TROOPS HOME.   

      AS A VETERAN AMERICAN SOLDIER MYSELF, I AM NOT IN FAVOR OF WARS UNLESS THEY ARE FOUGHT, ONLY AS A LAST RESORT.    ONCE WE ALLOW OURSELVES INTO A FIGHT, WE WILL NOT STAND FOR ANOTHER STALEMATE LIKE KOREA OR HUMILIATING LOSS LIKE VIETNAM.   REGARDLESS OF THE HORRENDOUS COST IN LIVES AND MONEY WE MUST WIN AT ALL COSTS.   WE MUST LIVE FREE OR DIE.   THAT WAS THE REASON PRESIDENT BUSH WAS RE-ELECTED, EVEN AFTER MOST AMERICANS KNEW WE WENT INTO IRAQ UNDER FALSE PRETENSES.   NOW THAT WE ARE WINNING, MCCAIN’S STOCK HAS RISEN WHILE OBAMA’S HAS FALLEN BECAUSE HE WAS AGAINST THE SURGE AND HAS BEEN PROVEN WRONG.

        THIS BRINGS TO MIND HIS BIGGEST COMPLAINT THAT HILLARY CLINTON VOTED FOR THE WAR WHEN SHE SHOULD HAVE VOTED AGAINST IT.   THE SAD FACT IS THE JOE BIDEN ALSO VOTED FOR THE WAR, BUT OBAMA THINKS THAT IS OK, NOW THAT HE NEEDS BIDEN’S FOREIGN POLICY KNOW HOW.

      THE ULTIMATE CHANGE OBAMA CLAIMS THE COUNTRY NEEDS, CAN BEST BE ATTAINED BY A PRESIDENTIAL TICKET THAT INCLUDES BOTH A NEW RACE AND A NEW GENDER REPRESENTING THE U.S.A ON NEXT, JANUARY, 2009.

      OBAMA HAS BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT ALL THE MISTAKES OTHER CANDIDATES HAVE MADE, WHEN IN FACT HE HAS MADE A COUPLE OF FATAL BOO BOOS THAT WILL PROVE HIS DOWNFALL.    THE MORE WE LEARN ABOUT OBAMA THE MORE WE REALIZE HE LACKS THE EXPERIENCE, JUDGMENT, MATURITY AND KNOW HOW TO CHANGE ANYTHING WE NEED CHANGED.   THE PRESIDENCY CANNOT BE LEFT TO AN AMATEUR AT THIS CRITICAL TIME.

THE DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTIONS OF 2008

         THE LACKLUSTER PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION CAMPAIGN FOR BOTH PARTY’S FOR THE LAST EIGHT MONTHS, LEFT MOST AMERICANS UNSATISFIED AND DISAPPOINTED WITH THE SELECTION PROCESS, RUN BY THE TWO MAJOR POLITICAL PARTIES.   THE RESULT, MANY AMERICANS FEEL, WITH THE EMERGENCE OF OBAMA AND MCCAIN AS PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEES, IS THAT WE WERE LEFT WITH THE CHOICE OF BETWEEN A GREENHORN, WITH NO EXPERIENCE AND AN OLD MAN, BEYOND HIS PRODUCTIVE YEARS.

        SINCE BOTH CANDIDATES HAVE ATTAINED THE MAJORITY OF DELEGATES, PLEDGED TO THEM, IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT BOTH THESE CONVENTIONS WILL BE RUBBER STAMP AFFAIRS, LACKING THE HOOPLA AND CHALLENGE OF BACK ROOM, SMOKE FILLED POLITICS, USUALLY ATTENDANT TO CANDIDATE’S EFFORT TO WIN VOTES.

       THIS LEAVES AS THE ONLY QUESTION, THE SELECTION OF EACH CANDIDATES RUNNING MATE, THIS SELECTION IS MORE AKIN TO A PERSON THAT LOOKS PRESIDENTIAL AS A STAND IN BUT WHO HAS ABSOLUTELY NO REQUIRED PARTICIPATION IN A PRESIDENT’S ADMINISTRATION, ACCORDING TO THE U.S. CONSTITUTION AND THE NATURAL GREGARIOUS AND JEALOUSLY GUARDED CONTROL OF A PRESIDENT, SUPPOSEDLY IN CHARGE OF THE COUNRTY.   ONE IS IMMEDIATELY REMINDED OF THE WELL DRESSED, COURTEOUS, AND EVER WAITING FUNERAL DIRECTOR, WHO IS ALWAYS AT YOUR SERVICE WHEN A DEATH OCCURS IN THE FAMILY.     

      THESE TWO UPCOMING CONVENTIONS ARE THEREFORE LOOKED FORWARD TO, AS LACKLUSTER AS THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS THAT PRECEDED THEM AND AS THE CHOICES OF EACH PARTY’S NOMINEES.    OUR CHOICES LEAVE US LESS THAN EXCITED AND WONDERING HOW COULD THIS SITUATION COULD HAVE COME ABOUT?

       OF COURSE THE ANSWER IS AS PLAIN AS THE NOSE ON OUR FACE, IF WE CARE TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR.  MCCAIN WAS THE MAVERICK OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, AS WAS DEMONSTRATED IN THE 2000 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN, WHO WAS WIPED OUT BY THE MORAL MAJORITY OF THE SOUTHERN RIGHT, CONSERVATIVES TO THE CORE AND MORE RELIGIOUS MINDED THAN POLITICAL.   OF COURSE HIS NOMINATION HAD MORE TO DO WITH THE REJECTION OF BUSH AND THE FAR RIGHT CONSERVATIVES AND HIS STRAIGHT FROM THE HIP, MAVERICK INDEPENDENCE AND QUARREL WITH MANY FIERCELY BONDED AND STUBBORN REPUBLICANS, THAN ANY OF HIS USUALLY ATTRACTIVE QUALITIES OF A REAL AMERICAN HERO, WAR VETERAN WHO HAS ALWAYS TRIED TO ACT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE COUNTRY.    IN ADDITION, HE IS THE ONLY CONGRESSMAN THAT HAS NEVER FALLEN INTO THE PIGSTY WITH A PORK BARREL BILL FOR HIS CONSTITUENTS.

       MCCAIN IS SO INDEPENDENT THAT YOU MIGHT TAKE HIM FOR ONE THAT PUTS HIS COUNTRY FIRST ABOVE HIS PARTY AFFILIATION.   NOW THAT THE REGISTERED INDEPENDENT VOTERS IN THIS COUNTRY OUTNUMBER THE TOTAL OF EITHER POLITICAL PARTY, THEY ARE AS STRONG, IF NOT STRONGER THAN ANY POLITICAL PARTY BECAUSE THAT INDEPENDENCE DOES NOT BIND THEM TO ANY PARTY AND GIVES THEM THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE THE BEST PERSON FOR OFFICE, AS IT SHOULD BE, IN THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS.    THE POLITICAL PARTIES ARE THE CAUSE OF MOST OF OUR FAILURE TO HAVE A GOVERNMENT, THAT FUNCTIONS WITH THEIR CONSTANT BICKERING ON PARTY PRINCIPALS RATHER THAN WHAT IS BEST FOR THE COUNTRY.

       WHEN EVERYONE WAS LOOKING TO GET OUT OF IRAQ AS A TRUMPED UP CAUSE BY BUSH IN 2002, AND A FAILURE IN 2006, ONLY MCCAIN PUBLICLY BACKED BUSH FOR THE SO CALLED SURGE OF AN ADDITIONAL 30-40,000 TROOPS TO STOP THE HORRENDOUS LOSS OF LIVES.   EVERY DEMOCRAT VOTED AGAINST THE IDEA WHILE MOST REPUBLICANS RELUCTANTLY VOTED FOR IT IN LOCKSTEP LOYALTY TO THEIR PRESIDENT AND PARTY.    EVEN OBAMA, PUBLICLY VOTED AGAINST IT WHILE ADDITIONALLY TAKING THE STAND AND ARGUMENT THAT CHASTISED HILLARY CLINTON FOR HAVING VOTED FOR THE WAR IN THE FIRST PLACE.   THIS IS ONE BIG REASON WHY OBAMA WON THE NOMINATION, OVER CLINTON, HOWEVER WHEN IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, IT BECAME CLEAR THAT THE SURGE WAS WORKING, SUDDENLY MCCAINS LOYALTY TO THE CAUSE TO WIN THE FIGHT, WAS PROVEN CORRECT AND OBAMA’S SUNDAY MORNING QUARTERBACKING, FUMBLED AND FELL DOWN IN THE FIELD OF FAILURE.

      EVEN IF THE REAL REASON FOR THE WAR IN IRAQ WAS NOT AS REPRESENTED WE HAVE MADE A COMMITMENT THERE BY REMOVING SADAM HUSSEIN AND REPLACING HIS   DICTATORIAL SUNNI REGIME OF SECTARIAN VIOLENCE AND TERROR AGAINST THE KURDS AND SHEIITS.   WE CANNOT LEAVE THEM WHEN THEY ARE WEAK AND VULNERABLE TO ATTACK.

      IN ADDITION, AFTER THE EPISODES IN VIETNAM AND KOREA, THE ARMED FORCES AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE COULDN’T ACCEPT ANOTHER STALEMATE OR DEFEAT, IF WE ARE TO MAINTAIN THE RESPECT WE HAVE GAINED IN THE WORLD AS A BENEVOLENT LEADER.   NO AMERICAN IS WILLING TO ACCEPT DEFEAT, IT IS NOT IN OUR NATURE, NOR CAN WE ABANDON A SITUATION WE HAVE CAUSED.   WE HAVE THE OBLIGATION TO STAY UNTIL WE CAN LEAVE A STABLE, SELF-GOVERNING NATION ABLE TO DEFEND THEM SELVES.     THE COST, TO DATE IS PROHIBITIVE, BUT MANAGEABLE.   OF COURSE, IT BEHOOVES THE GOVERNMENT OF IRAQ TO HELP THEM AT THIS JUNCTURE, BY PROVIDING ITS OIL PROFITS TO RESTORE THE NATION INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE SAKE OF THE SUFFERING PEOPLE OF IRAQ.

      AT THIS POINT OF THIS PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN OBAMA AND MCCAIN ARE IN A DEAD HEAT ACCORDING TO THE POLLS AND SLOWLY BUT SURELY MCCAIN HAS PROVEN TO HAVE THE INSIGHT AND TALENT TO BE RIGHT WHILE OBAMA HAS PROVEN TO BE WRONG AT EVERY TURN, DOMESTICALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY.

       NOW THE OLD MAN LOOKS AND ACTS LIKE A CARING FATHER FIGURE WHILE OBAMA ACTS LIKE A POLITICIAN WAVING IN THE WIND OF PUBLIC OPINION.   WE ARE IN A DEEP RECESSION IN THIS COUNTRY THAT NEEDS THE EXPERIENCE OF A SEASONED LEADER, NOT A NEOPHYTE, AMATUER WHO MAKES PROMISES HE CAN’T KEEP AND CALLS FOR A CHANGE HE HIMSELF CANNOT FATHOM AND UNDERSTAND OR EXPLAIN, NOW THAT PEOPLE ARE TAKING A STRONG SECOND LOOK AT THIS NEW OBAMA, THEY DO NOT LIKE WHAT THEY SEE AND HEAR AND WISH THEY HAD A CHANCE TO RECONSIDER THEIR VOTE FOR HILLARY CLINTON.   WITH THE CHANCE TO PUT HER NAME IN NOMINATION AT THE UPCOMING CONVENTION, DO NOT BE SURPRISED AT WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN.   IT IS OBVIOUS OBAMA DOES NOT WANT TO SELECT HILLARY AS HIS RUNNING MATE BECAUSE; THERE IS NO QUESTION SHE WILL OUTSHINE HIM AT EVERY TURN.   HOWEVER, IN HIS HASTE TO CASTE HER ASIDE, HE MAY BE SPELLING THE DOOM OF HIS OWN ELECTION AND PROPEL MCCAIN INTO THE WHITE HOUSE, WHICH IS NOT A BAD OUTCOME IN ANY EVENT.   MCCAIN, YOU KNOW, OBAMA IS A BIG QUESTION MARK.

          MOST AMERICANS HAVE ALREADY CUT BACK ON THEIR VACATIONS BECAUSE OF THE HIGH FUEL COSTS AND WORSENING ECONOMY, BUT NOT CONGRESS.  WITH THEM, IT IS BUSINESS AS USUAL, A THREE-DAY WORKWEEK AND VACATIONS AND FACT-FINDING TRIPS AT THE TAXPAYERS EXPENSE.  WHAT A SWEET DEAL THEY HAVE!

          CONGRESS IS OUT OF CONTROL, THEY KNOW IT, WE KNOW IT, BUT NOBODY DOES ANYTHING ABOUT IT.  THAT IS THE REASON CONGRESS CONTINUES TO BE ON A FROLIC OF THEIR OWN, OUT OF CONTROL AND IN BUSINESS FOR THEMSELVES AND NOT REPRESENTING THE WILL OR NEEDS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

          FEW PEOPLE REALIZE THAT BARACK OBAMA’S TRIP TO THE FAR EAST AND EUROPE RECENTLY WAS A FACT-FINDING TRIP, PAID FOR BY THE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS.  WHAT FACTS DID HE FIND?

          IT WAS OBVIOUS THIS WAS A POLITICAL TRIP BY A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE TO APPEAR KNOWLEDGEABLE IN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS, AT OUR EXPENSE.  NONE OF THE OTHER CONGRESSMEN COMPLAINED, NOT EVEN JOHN MCCAIN, BECAUSE, THE FACT IS THAT THEY ALL DO IT FREQUENTLY, AT OUR EXPENSE.  IT IS PART OF THEIR “PORK AND BARREL” BENEFITS THAT HAVE HIDDEN FROM PUBLIC VIEW.

          LAST YEAR, WHEN THE IRAQI LEGISLATIVE WENT ON VACATION FOR A MONTH, WHILE WE IN AMERICA WERE ARGUING ABOUT THE COST OF THE SURGE IN AMERICAN TROOPS AND MONEY WE ALL COMPLAINED VEHEMENTLY THAT THEY TOOK A VACATION FROM PROBLEMS OF HAVING AN INEFFICIENT GOVERNMENT.  NOW, OUR CONGRESS IS DOING THE SAME THING IN THE FACE OF RISING PRICES AND A FALLING ECONOMY; ANOTHER $500,000 PLUS LOST IN SIX MONTHS AND A DEEPENING RECESSION.

          INSTEAD OF TAKING VACATIONS, YOUR CONGRESS MEN, SHOULD BE AT WORK IN WASHINGTON, D.C., FIVE OR SIX DAYS A WEEK, NON STOP, TO SOLVE OUR ENERGY AND ECONOMIC PROBLEMS IN THIS COUNTRY BEFORE WE SLIP INTO A REAL DEPRESSION, BUT THE CONTINUE TO IGNORE THE PROBLEMS AND GO ON VACATION.

          CONGRESS’S POPULARITY IS LESS THAN 10% THESE DAYS AND FALLING, WE KNOW THEY ARE A “DO NOTHING” CONGRESS AND YET, WE DON’T COMPLAIN EVEN WHEN CONGRESS IS THE ONLY BODY THAT CAN LEGALLY SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS BY PASSING LEGISLATION.  THEY CAN’T PASS LEGISLATION WHILE ON THEIR VACATIONS.

          THE ONLY SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM IS TO PUT THEM ALL OUT OF OFFICE BY NOT RE-ELECTING THEM COME NEXT NOVEMBER 2008.  IF WE DO NOT DO THIS BY OUR VOTE, OUR ONLY REAL MEANS OF COMPLAINT, WE WILL HAVE ONLY OURSELVES TO BLAME.  WE SHOULD RE-ELECT NOBODY IN CONGRESS UNTIL THEY SOLVE ALL OUR PRESENT PROBLEMS PERMANENTLY.

          WAKE UP AMERICA AND VOTE IN YOUR BEST INTERESTS NEXT NOVEMBER AND WATCH YOUR CONGRESSMEN GET IN LINE AND DO THE PEOPLE’S BIDDING FOR A CHANGE.

          OUR U.S. CONGRESS JUST WENT ON VACATION FOR THE NEXT FIVE WEEKS AND WILL NOT RETURN UNTIL AFTER LABOR DAY.

          MOST AMERICANS HAVE ALREADY CUT BACK ON THEIR VACATIONS BECAUSE OF THE HIGH FUEL COSTS AND WORSENING ECONOMY, BUT NOT CONGRESS.  WITH THEM, IT IS BUSINESS AS USUAL, A THREE-DAY WORKWEEK AND VACATIONS AND FACT-FINDING TRIPS AT THE TAXPAYERS EXPENSE.  WHAT A SWEET DEAL THEY HAVE!

          CONGRESS IS OUT OF CONTROL, THEY KNOW IT, WE KNOW IT, BUT NOBODY DOES ANYTHING ABOUT IT.  THAT IS THE REASON CONGRESS CONTINUES TO BE ON A FROLIC OF THEIR OWN, OUT OF CONTROL AND IN BUSINESS FOR THEMSELVES AND NOT REPRESENTING THE WILL OR NEEDS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

          WAKE UP AMERICA AND VOTE IN YOUR BEST INTERESTS NEXT NOVEMBER AND WATCH YOUR CONGRESSMEN GET IN LINE AND DO THE PEOPLE’S BIDDING FOR A CHANGE.

          BARACK OBAMA MADE A RARE, BRIEF, BUT SUCCESSFUL VISIT TO CONGRESS ON JULY 29, 2008, FOR A VERY IMPORTANT PURPOSE TO HIM AND TO 25 MILLION PLUS BLACKS IN THIS COUNTRY.  BUT WILL IT PASS MUSTARD?

          BARACK OBAMA, ACTUALLY ARRANGED FOR HIS BEST FRIEND, U.S. REPRESENTATIVE CONAYERS (sp?) OF CHICAGO TO FILE A BILL IN CONGRESS WHEREBY, THE U.S. WILL APOLOGIZE FOR SLAVERY OF BLACKS AND FOR THEIR, DENIED RIGHT, TO VOTE SINCE THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION (E.P.) OF 1863.

          IT IS GENERALLY EXPECTED AND ADMITTEDLY SO, THAT THIS BILL IS THE FORERUNNER OF A SECOND BILL TO BE FAILED AFTER HE WINS THE PRESIDENCY TO PAY REPARATION TO BLACKS FOR 300 YEARS OF SLAVERY AND SUBJUGATION OF THE BLACKS IN THE SOUTH AND IN THE MILITARY.

          OF COURSE, WHEN REPARATIONS IS MENTIONED MOST NORTHERN POLITICIANS HAVE ADVISED OBAMA THAT SINCE THE SOUTH WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR SLAVERY AND FOR KEEPING BLACKS FROM THE FREEDOM THEY WERE GRANTED BY THE E.P. IN 1863 BY PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN FOR AN ADDITIONAL 100 YEARS, THE SOUTH SHOULD FOOT THE EXPECTED 25 BILLION DOLLAR BILL WHICH WILL GIVE EACH BLACK IN AMERICA $10,000.00 EACH AS REPARATION.  MANY BLACKS FEEL THE FIGURE SHOULD BE $30,000.00 PER BLACK, WHICH REPRESENTS $100.00 A YEAR FOR THE LAST 300 YEARS OF ENSLAVEMENT.  THAT IS THE EQUIVALENT OF A LITTLE MORE THAN .25 CENTS A DAY.

          LET’S NOT FORGET IT WAS THE NORTHERN STATES AND NORTHERN WHITES THAT HELPED THE BLACKS IN THE SOUTH.  FOR ONE EXAMPLE, THEY RAN THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD TO THE NORTH, WHERE BLACKS WOULD BE WELCOMED AND SAFE.

          IN THAT RECENT SECRET DEMOCRATIC MEETING AT THE CAPITOL, IT WAS DECIDED THAT THE DEMOCRATS EXPECTED TO INCREASE THE NUMBER IN THE NEXT CONGRESS.  THIS WILL INCREASE THE CHANGES TO PASS A BILL FOR REPARATION TO THE BLACKS IN PAYMENT FOR THE SOLID BLACK VOTE FOR OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT IN NOVEMBER.

          THE COSTS, IT HAS BEEN DECIDED DURING THAT SECRET OBAMA MEETING IN WASHINGTON, WILL COME FROM A NEW SOUTHERN TAX, ASSESSED TO ALL THE SOUTHERN STATES THAT JOINED THE CONFEDERACY IN THE CIVIL WAR.  THIS TAX WILL BE ASSESSED ON EACH WHITE ADULT WHILE RESIDING IN THESE STATES STARTING IN 2009 AT THE RATE OF $100.00 A YEAR SURTAX ON EACH WHITE PERSON’S FEDERAL INCOME TAX RETURN FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.  EACH BLACK WILL RECEIVE $6,000.00 PER YEAR IN REPARATION FOR THE NEXT 5 YEARS.

          IN ADDITION, EACH WHITE PERSON WILL BE REQUIRED TO WEAR A CONFEDERATE FLAG PATCH ON HIS/HER RIGHT SIDE OVER HIS/HER HEART ON A DAILY BASIS.  EACH STATE MUST ALSO DISPLAY A 5’ X 6’ CONFEDERATE FLAG AT THE STATE HOUSE AND AT EACH SCHOOL WITH THE FACE OF A SMILING PRESIDENT OBAMA FIRMLY AFFIXED IN THE MIDDLE OF SAID FLAG UNTIL ALL REPARATIONS ARE PAID IN FULL.

          THE NORTHERN (YANKEE) STATES WILL ALSO BE VOTED REPARATION FOR THE NORTH’S COST OF THE WAR FACTORED FORWARD FOR INFLATION TO THE YEAR 2009.

          EVERY FAMILY OF A NORTHERN SOLDIER KILLED WILL RECEIVE A $50,000.00 REPARATION PAYMENT DIVIDED EQUALLY AMONGST ALL CLAIMING DESCENDENTS AND AS FOR EACH FAMILY OF AN INJURED SERVICE MAN WILL ALSO RECEIVE $25,000.00 DIVIDED EQUALLY AMONGST ALL LIVING DESCENDANTS.

          IN ADDITION, THE STATES OF ALABAMA AND MISSISSIPPI SHALL BE DECLARED “DOUBLE BLACK VOTE STATES” WHEREBY, BLACKS WILL BE GIVEN THE RIGHT TO HAVE TWO (2) VOTES AT EACH LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL ELECTION, IN ORDER TO REPAY THEM FOR DENYING THEM THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE FOR THE NEXT 100 YEARS; SINCE THEY WERE EFFECTIVELY DENIED THE RIGHT TO VOTE SINCE THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION OF 1864.

          ALSO, THE STATES OF MISSISSIPPI AND ALABAMA SHALL BE DESIGNATED AS BLACK STATES WHEREBY, WHITES SHALL BE GIVEN 1 YEAR TO ABANDON AND VACATE THE STATE AND LEAVE ALL TO THE EXCLUSIVE CONTROL AND RESIDENCY OF BLACKS.

          STARTING IN 2009, ONLY WHITES MAY BE HIRED TO PICK COTTON, WATERMELON, SUGAR CANE AND WORK AS DOMESTICS, ALL OF WHOM SHALL BE SUPERVISED EXCLUSIVELY BY BLACKS. 

EACH BLACK SOUTHERN STATE SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO SET UP SEPARATE BUT EQUAL ACCOMMODATIONS FOR WHITES IN SCHOOLS, RESTAURANTS AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, ALL CONTROLLED BY BLACK SUPERVISORS.

THE KKK SHALL BE BANNED IN THE SOUTHERN STATES AND ONLY WHITES MAY BE MISTREATED AND PUBLICLY HUNG WITHOUT TRIAL AND ONLY BY BLACKS.

ALL WHITES IN THE SOUTH SHALL BE REQUIRED TO CALL THE BLACKS “MASTER”, “SIR” OR “MISTER” WHILE BENT FORWARD AT A 90 PERCENT ANGLE FROM THE STANDING, ERECT POSITION.

ALL BLACK SOLDIERS SHALL BE SALUTED MILITARY STYLE REGARDLESS OF THEIR RANK

ALL WHITES MUST SWOP HOMES WITH ALL BLACKS IN EACH STATE WITH OUT COMPENSATION AND SAID DEFACTO SHALL REMAIN LEGAL.

WHITES SHALL BE DENIED THE RIGHT TO VOTE FOR THE NEXT 100 YEARS TO EQUALIZE THE BLACKS INABILITY TO VOTE FOR THE YEARS 1864-1964.

SO-CALLED MIXED BREEDS MAY ONLY HAVE HALF A VOTE AT ALL LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL ELECTIONS.  THEY WILL BE EXPECTED TO ADHERE TO THE “BROWN PAPER BAG” TEST WHEREIN, A BROWN PAPER BAG WILL BE HELD UP TO THE SO-CALLED MIXED BREEDS FACE AREA AND IF THEIR SKIN IS AS LIGHT, OR LIGHTER AS THE BROWN PAPER BAG THEN, THEN WILL BE HEREINAFTER CONSIDERED WHITE.  IF USING THE BAG TEST, THEY ARE DETERMINED TO HAVE THEIR SKIN DARKER THAN THE BAG TEST, AND THEN THEY WILL BE DETERMINED TO BE BLACK.  THIS TEST WILL ALSO APPLY TO OBAMA REGARDLESS OF HIS STATUS AS PRESIDENT, IF HE WINS.  IF HE LOSES THE ELECTION, THIS REPARATION LAW WILL NEVER PASS MUSTARD.
