I Have It, Do You?

Growing up, I was taught that having 'class' is something that someone cannot take away from you. Its up to you if you want it or not. Low income people can have class, while the higher bracket people may not.

After watching the news for the last month, I've come to the conclusion that real class war isn't between the haves & the haves not, its between those with class & those without.

Within an hour of Andrew Breitbart passing, tweets were sent out about how he was in hell and that he was hater (well, worse stuff than that) Even some 'journalists' made their own commentary on him on their shows. One person even started a fake twitter account under Andrew's widow's name to tweet crap about him.

In this past week, the Trayvon Martin case blew up in the media. Once again, twitter was there to add gasoline to the fire. Spike Lee tweeted what he thought was George Zimmerman's address. Roseanne Barr tweeted that if the cops didn't arrest him, she may show up at his house. To do what you may ask? I don't want to know. In a course of a weekend, I saw thousands of death threats on a man that people never heard of hours prior. A few even called for the rape of Zimmerman's mother.

Even now as I watch TV, I see the classlessness of the US. This hurts my soul. What happen to us as a nation? I remember growing up I was taught manners. How I was to speak to elders. How to treat the world around me.

Anger shown was supposed to be a last resort. Now mind you, I'm not always the most polite, but I do try. I say thank you when someone does something nice. Sometimes I say it when someone does their job correctly. But to lash out at the smallest slight? That seems childish.

So I guess what I'm calling for is the growing up of America. To rely on oneself. To treat others with respect. To debate civilly. We don't all to agree, but at least act like adult.

If you disagree, you can kiss my class!

The Real War on Women

I'm calling for all of media to give me their 'gender war' cards. That's right, put them in my hand. You can get them back when you learn how to use the term correctly. Now go back to your desk, get out your notebooks & maybe learn something.

Calling for taxpayers to pay for your birth control or abortions & when they say no, is NOT a war on women. Never was, quit saying it!

Two examples of the war on women in American history are:
~ When President Woodrow Wilson threw suffragettes in jail, where they were beaten & not fed, just because they wanted their voices heard in the form of the right to vote.
~ When women were paid 75 cents to the man's dollar in the work place. When women couldn't be more than anything 'pink collar'.

Don't get me wrong, there is a war on women and it had nothing to do with me paying for anyone else's birth control. There are still women being abused physically & sexually in this country because they are the fairer sex. There are women in other countries who get their genitalia 'circumsized' so they can't feel sexual pleasure. Some countries even sew girls vaginas up so they won't 'sin'. Women who get burned if there is even a slight glimpse of non-submittance.

You have women in America who believe they are nothing more than sexual property. They live their lives stripping & prosituting with blank eyes. Told they were worthless. You have women & children all over the world, (yes, even in the US) who are sold into sex slavery.

The real war on women is being fought by charities who helping get women out of the sex industry & trade. People who risk their lives to show women they are worth more. Teaching them work skills to support their families.

So let's get real about this war on women! Fight the real war, not the pretend one place on us by the media. Want to help fight for these women? Here are some links to just some of the charities that help women. Some I've been asked not too put on the blog because they're underground for security reasons.

I'm on the Campaign Trail again!

Okay, some more promises from a Presidential hopeful, ME!

* All bills should be around 30 pages long. No more than 50 pages. If a bill goes over 50 pages, I will veto it! Actually, I'll send it back for edit. I'm a busy woman. I don't have time to read more than that. Let's be honest, most of the time its full of riders when they get long. No more free rides!!

* I will shut down K Street. No more lobbying. One of my co-workers wants me to take it a step further. He wants me to make it a capital offense. Then auction off the position of executioner and put the money towards the national debt.

* All congressmen/women would get the same pay as of that of an enlisted in the military. Not only that, they will also get the same health benefits. Even after retirement or vote out. Why should they get paid better than our men & women who wrote this country a blank check with their lives?

* Last but not least, TAXES! I would implement a flat tax of 9.5%. God only ask for 10%, how can I ask for more than he does? Oh no! With such a low tax rate, how we pay for everything? Easy. I would take what I have learned from Financial Peace University. There would be a lot cuts, but it would pay off HUGE in the long run.

With some of the changes I would place, this country will be strong again. Once again, become a shining beacon.

Remember, Vote for Me 2012!!

Andy & Jesus

As I was falling asleep last night, okay early this morning, my thoughts went to how Andrew Breitbart had similarities with Jesus. Stay with me. I just had some randoms pop in my head before bed, wrote them down to share to the 3 people who will read this.

Here's my list ~

1~ They were both Jewish. (that one was easy)

2~ Both were unorthodox for their times & truly unique.

3~ Can you say polarizing figures?

4~ They both drew crowds where ever they went.

5~ Most importantly, they both had this love of people.

I don't know much about Andrew's faith, but I hope & pray that I see him in Heaven. His 2 hour hyperactive discussions would be considered short in eternity.

Respect, Where Did It Go?

This morning, I received a text from my sister in law that my blogging hero, Andrew Brietbart, had died. At first I thought it was a hoax. Unfortunately, it was not. I logged to Twitter to find out what happened and to grieve with friends over this loss. It was nice as an online community we were able to come together to share, to support, & to grieve.

If that was it, I would not be writing. No matter whether you agree with someone politics or religion, it is respectful to not say anything ill of the dead. At least until after the funeral! Oh, but not anymore. As soon as the news hit, people spewed forth vile, hatred, ugly things about someone who was a husband, a father, a boss, and a friend.

Though I never had the fortune of meeting Mr. Breitbart, I would have loved to have picked his brian. He was mad genius. All he had to do was show up. He didn't have to say a word, just be, and the drama would begin. All he had to do is record it on his iPad & he had a story. The power he had, and still has over the left.

Andrew will be missed. I hope to be as bold. I hope to rise above the name calling of his enemies, but still use it against them. To keep fighting the lies, to expose the truths.

Most of all, I will hold respect. Respect for someone who went where others did not dare. Laughing in the face of his attackers.

Thank you, Andrew. Thank you.
