You know, I'm no pussy. I have a high IQ, am college educated, work very hard, have served my country, am disabled (3 plates in my back, one in my neck and one in my hip) and am a martial arts instructor for Freeform Martial Arts (Vale Tudo style).
But when they announced that BO had won, my eyes welled up. I haven't cried in almost thirty years. I didn't really bawl or anything, but small tears ran down the side of my face. I am not an overly emotional person (just ask my wife, lol!), but nothing has hit me so hard in a long, long time. Nor am I ashamed.
So, I figured it was just sadness at our Country going down the tubes.
Then today I watched that idiot Spike Lee on t.v..
The Republican party is stuck in a land of TV Land - "Leave It To Beaver," "Father Knows Best," "Howdy Doody." That America does not exist anymore.Well, maybe that's it.
But am I wrong to still want Mayberry RFD for this country? Where truth, honor, justice and pride resound?!
Am I wrong for keeping life and your values simple and honest?!
Am I wrong in believing an honest days' work for an honest days' wage?!
Am I wrong for believing and living the old adage of "Work hard and play hard"?!
Am I wrong to think that one not only can, but MUST always strive for excellence in everything they do?!
I could go on and on. But not a one of us doesn't know that BO won the election because he is black. Period. I'm not prejudiced-I hate everybody including myself, lol. But seriously, it all just goes to show. It also seems to me the only people who are prejudiced anymore are not us "Howdy Dooies", but the Spike Lee's of this great (or used to be) Country.
Until the day I die, I will Love, Fight, Live and Die for the America I know and Love. The America I was born and raised in, the America some call "Father Knows Best." Because my dad did. And I pray my children realize this about me , and Love me for it like I love my dad. Because I have lived such and have found it is the right thing to do.
God and Country. Amen.
